Yall I Haven’t Been In The Fanfiction Realm In Awhile But Back In My Day (circa 2016-2017) An AU Meant

Yall I haven’t been in the fanfiction realm in awhile but back in my day (circa 2016-2017) an AU meant that people were ACTUALLY in situations that were completely outside the realm of the canon (marvel characters in a high school AU, House MD but they’re veterinarians, Johnlock but they’re professors, etc)

BUT NOW IM SEEING FICS WHERE IT SAYS THE DUMBEST SHIT POSSIBLE!!! Like when someone kept everything very canon and timeline compliant but made a character autistic in the realm of their fic and calls it an Autism AU! Like I’m pretty sure THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS?????

Or like calling the fic an AU (with no label) but all that’s different is that the ship the fic is centered around is “canon” and like…THATS JUST A NORMAL FANFICTION??? ARE YOU FUCKING DENSE????

But like I said I haven’t really been into fanfiction since 2016-2017 and just got deep back into it in the past month ish so maybe the term has changed but I feel like I’m going crazy someone help me

Hype as hell bc I’m going to a writing conference this summer and I’ve never gone to one before so I thought I’d have to prepare a portfolio or something but this one explicitly says not to do that and that we are only working on new material written in the conference’s workshops and I love that for me

Today in class we were watching a historical drama and there was a cut away to a garden filled with bees and it reminded me of when I was a kid and on some days we couldn’t mow the lawn because of the ground bees but now my bee garden that I’ve had the last several years is usually bee free and now my head hurts remembering this memory again

I haven’t kept up with the MCU since Moonknight and this is how I found out Bucky Barnes is a fucking senator or some shit I hate it here

i'm so glad i don't care about the mcu anymore because when i was 16 if bucky barnes became a politician it might've been the last straw in my miserable life

Since pro ai people don’t listen to the whole “ai is ruining creativity and critical thinking” I have come up with something (as a creative writing student):

“While the use of AI has some theoretically promising applications, because of what I want to do with my education I find it important to learn how to work through problems/projects/whatever using a bare-bones, unaided approach before implementing technology that, in theory, could help me. If I don’t know how to do (the thing that applies to your situation) without ai then ai wouldn’t actually help me in the long run”

Plus from a harsher standpoint: “how tf am I supposed to get a job in my field and actually know what’s going on if I use ai instead of applying critical thinking skills…my ass is gonna get fired a year in because fundamental parts of my education have been replaced by using ai to find the answers for me”

Hope this helps (genuine)

im soon gonna start a new class with a professor ive already had whom i know is pro ai and actively uses it. when i tell her i don't want her to include ai in my education ik she's gonna ask why and i know why but i need some actual structured arguments that'll sound good to a university professor and not just me screaming in her face for ten minutes so please help a gal out. she would've told me to ask ai for this but i will never and instead venture to mankind's most reliable source: strangers on the internet
