Remember the days in ye aulde fandom when someone would just stop talking to you and you never worked out why?
Ghosting, before it became common.

Just put in my expense requests for the start of May.

Hockey training has been cancelled because we don't have a coach, and we don't have a game on Sunday (long weekend in Australia: the King's birthday). I'm trying to get people over to the local club for dinner and drinks but...it's always a bit tricksy. Just me and a couple of other women, I think.

We're grateful to all our pinch hitters! 5,000 words or 5 pages is a big commitment without any guarantee of a gift in return.
A number of people are writing pinch hits but didn’t sign up for the exchange, and we’d like to give them the opportunity to leave prompts for treats. Treats for pinch hitters go in the same location as treats for anyone else, in the main collection.
If you picked up a pinch hit, aren’t signed up for the exchange, and would appreciate treats, please leave your AO3 name in a comment here along with the fandoms you’re interested in. You can specify characters/relationships, fic or comics, genres, prompts, and DNWs--as much detail as you'd like. Linking to past letters is also fine.

For vidders and podficcers here from elsewhere: Space Swap is a multimedia fanworks exchange for all fandoms related to space. We currently allow gift works to be fanfiction, fanart, podfic, fanvids, or interactive fiction.
This is also an event where works must be made by humans, not AI. Currently, the rules simply state that
I plan on adding a line that states that works must be produced by the person signing up. Additionally, I want to ban usage of any and all generative AI (so pressing "create vid" on a hypothetical VidGPT is not allowed, for instance). However, as "AI" is the new, trendy way of saying "computer program", and it's possible that e.g. someone's word processor has a spell checker that's built on AI for AI hype reasons, I don't think I can actually blanket ban AI with satisfactory results. Thus, my questions:
1) If I phrase the ban as "By participating, you guarantee that the works produced are made by you alone. Usage of generative AI (for instance, ChatGPT or DALL-E) is strictly prohibited", will people understand this?
2) Are there any other ethical issues related to AI in vidding/podficcing that you would like an official ruling on? I know vidding communities are discussing things like the ethics of AI-based scene extension; I would like to hear about any such discussions going on in the podfic community and also any community consensuses that might have been reached, in addition to discussion and debate.
This is also an event where works must be made by humans, not AI. Currently, the rules simply state that
"AI" works produced using a large language model (such as ChatGPT) or "art generators" (such as Midjourney) are prohibited.
