For all Doctor Who Fanfic enthusiasts, staying updated with your go-to fanfiction websites is crucial. Here’s a rundown of recent news and updates, ensuring you don’t miss out on anything in the world of Doctor Who fanfiction.
Recently, there’s been an important update regarding the use of Generative AI in creating stories. If you’re an author who experiments with AI to craft your Doctor Who fanfic, you’ll want to take note. The platform has updated its Terms of Service and Submission Guidelines to officially allow the use of generative AI in story creation. This is a significant step, acknowledging the evolving landscape of content creation and its intersection with the fanfiction community. However, transparency is key. Any story that utilizes AI must be tagged with the “AI-generated” warning. Furthermore, each chapter needs an author’s note detailing how AI was employed, whether it was for the entire chapter or just parts of it. This ensures readers are fully informed about the creation process of the Doctor Who fanfic they are enjoying.
Website maintenance is also a part of keeping things running smoothly. There was a planned downtime for an operating system upgrade initially scheduled for June 4, 2024. While there was a postponement due to unforeseen technical issues, it’s clear the administrators are committed to keeping the site technically up-to-date. Such upgrades, though sometimes causing temporary inconvenience, are essential for the long-term stability and performance of the website, ultimately benefiting everyone in the Doctor Who fanfic community. Keep an eye out for future announcements regarding rescheduled downtime.
Email communication is vital for user support and site administration. Users who have tried to reach out to the help address might have experienced some hiccups. Specifically, there were reported issues with emails sent from Gmail accounts. The good news is that test messages are now getting through, though they might be marked as spam. If you’re using Gmail to contact the site’s support, and you don’t receive a response within 24-48 hours, it’s recommended to use the alternative email address provided: [email protected]. This ensures your queries and concerns regarding Doctor Who fanfic and the website are addressed efficiently.
Finally, for those actively writing and editing Doctor Who fanfic, there were some temporary issues with story editing and posting. Users reported a problem where the editing interface would load with blank author’s notes and story text fields. Thankfully, this issue was identified and resolved. If you encountered this problem, it should now be fixed. In the meantime, a workaround was suggested: copying and pasting text into the story box, or even better, making edits in an external document and then pasting or uploading it. The ability to post stories, which was also temporarily affected, is now also back online. These fixes are crucial for authors to seamlessly share their Doctor Who fanfic with the community.
These updates reflect the ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the platform for Doctor Who fanfic creators and readers. Staying informed about these changes helps everyone make the most of the website and continue to enjoy the vast world of Doctor Who fanfiction.
