>>58857141to be clear, it did start out with me just messing around with an ai text adventure thing. that's what inspired me to make the fic. I had no plans before to ever make a fic or even thought about doing it before because I don't really do this, actually the main thing I work on day-to-day is a game I'm making. so I was just messing around and taking a break one day when I messed with that text adventure AI.
I mentioned this in an earlier thread and said I was making a fic because I was inspired by an ai text adventure, but I never made a post blatantly saying "I used AI to help with Vermilion PD" because I actually wanted to see if anyone thought it sounded like AI after I was done, even though I started talking about VPD shortly after in the same thread, so some may have connected it if they were reading that thread.
but honestly it was all completely different than the final story, including how it was written and format, and by the end I spent around at least 2 weeks like 10+ hours a day (because I wanted to get it done asap and get back to working on my game) turning it into a fic, editing, changing a lot, adding way more, fixing all of the inconsistencies, nonsensical things, and horrible AI writing overall. even on New Years I didn't go to a party because I wanted to get it done and kept editing nonstop. I'm pretty sure I changed literally every sentence and how every paragraph was structured and definitely added way more. the original text adventure I was doing was something like 30 mins of just messing around and mostly my own ideas to begin with besides what AI responded with, then the fic was probably (I'm guessing, didn't actually keep track) around 110 hours of writing/changing/editing all day which was way more than I expected when I decided to make it a fic, but I didn't want to stop until it was something I was basically satisfied with.
