A screenshot of an email sent by AO3, showing a poster's original comment, which includes artifacts of an AI output answering its prompt. Usernames and fandom-IDing information have been removed. The post reads: "First of all, thank you SO much for your kind comment! I'm thrilled you enjoyed my story. Honestly, vampire AUs were never really my thing--until I realized [character] would be perfect for the role. When I couldn't find any existing fics like this, I decided to write my own. Do you know any similar stories you could recommend? --- # # # Key Adaptions: Tone: Kept your enthusiasm with "SO" and italics for emphasis. Casual flow: "Never really my thing" sounds more natural than "never had much interest". Fandom-friendly: Used "AU" (alternate universe) for clarity. Implied vampire theme: "Role" suggests the vampire concept without repetition. Bonus variations: More playful -- Vampries? Meh. Vampire[character]? YES PLEASE. For Tumblr: TIL I only like vampire stories if they star a certain [character] bloodsucker! :joy emoji: Got recs? Want it adjusted for a specific platform? Happy to tweak!

"The Pool Shark" - a mixed media art sculpture built around a nearly 2ft long blank resin shark figure. Artist Amy Chase decorated the support base to have green felt like a pool table, as well as brown trim like table wood. The shark is black with the 8-ball number on its flank, with green felt in its mouth while it crushes a pool cue between its teeth. A wood pool rack is positioned around its tail, and clusters of bubble-like pool balls (custom painted, made of Christmas ornaments) are attached to look like they're floating around it. The backdrop of the photo studio has nautical elements like netting and sea glass, and the sculpture is at a 3/4 turn.
A pull quote from Jody Hill (English teacher), for the graphic novel Abuzz that reads," Amy Chase makes her former high school English teacher (me) proud with her timely comic adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing. Abuzz sets the drama and social intrigue amidst Messina High's world of proms, parties, and social media posts. Abuzz brings the classic tale to a modern young audience with contemporary characters who are still "too wise to love peaceably." "
