In a world where "AI" submissions are a plague, human-written stories are the cure for an editor's breaking heart. Don't let the flood discourage you from sending your work out there. You are better, no what the hype of the moment says. We want your stories. Not the slop-infested noise.

Someone just offered to license our entire back catalog of issues for "AI" training.
No way in hell.
Not gonna happen.
No means no.
Don't come back.
Don't even look this way.

I recently signed a contract asking if there was any AI generated content in a story I had written. I simply wrote “no” when what I really wanted to write was “I’d rather die.”

"When I was ten. I read fairy tales in secret & would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis
