Why Skipping Prologues and Epilogues Doesn’t Make You a Clever Reader; It Makes You an Incomplete One
"In the words of the great William Shakespeare, who knew a thing or two about storytelling and also about tights: “What’s past is prologue.”

When I was at university we were terrified of accidentally plagiarizing a fraction of a sentence or not properly crediting sources. How do ‘ai writers’ disregard plagiarism machines?!
“GenAI, like ChatGPT, is built entirely on models of stolen artwork, including books. The word is ‘plagiarism’.”

'Some, like Ms. West say: “Eventually…readers will not care.” [NyTimes].'
But readers are savvy and they will more likely 'eventually' make sure that a book is not self-published before wasting their time trying to find one that is not dripping in AI slop.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely ate this up. We love a forced marriage, warring kingdoms, blood oaths, mysteries, and found family. I’m SO scared for what’s in store for the next book, my heart rate spiked in the last 40 pages 😅

“Some of these books were generated in less than an hour, so you know you can expect the highest quality from the former ghost writer-turned AI-author who now sells her AI-program to spit out slop books like she does.” #noai #ai #writing
If you have a speculative fiction story of 5000 words on under we want to read it, but to maximise your chances pay close attention to the guidelines.
In case you missed it, Issue 14 of Translunar Travelers Lounge is online. Brief notes on most of the stories can be found by following the posts here, or better yet follow the link to read them translunartravelerslounge.com
