Young Writers Society

Big Brother wrote:Hi everyone, with all the fun reviewing events happening right now this is a important message from your moderator team:

Do not use AI writing tools to generate the majority of your review. While these tools can be fun to experiment with for your own work and can even aid writers as a tool in generating creating prompts and ideas, representing these types of AI generated writing as your own is unfair to other reviewers and unfair to the authors who are hoping for human (or maybe goose?) feedback.

As a writing website, YWS exists to promote creative writing and the sharing of writing feedback between writers, representing AI generated writing as your own undermines those things, so it is important that we take this issue seriously. AI writing can be hard to spot, so we are relying on you as fellow writers and community members to act with honesty in representing your work and your reviews.

If a user is found to be using AI reviews those will be treated as both spam and plagiarism, the review may be removed along with the points earned from them, and the user may be banned from the site. Please reach out to a moderator if you have any questions or suspect that you have received an AI generated review.

Good luck reviewing this month, YWS!

The Great Tortoise Race begins tomorrow where you are encouraged to write 1 review every day of the month, and if you do so, you even get an awesome badge and join the Team Tortoise Victors Roster.

We also are beginning our Search for the Golden Goose | Clear the Green Room Challenge that runs until August 1. If we are victorious in clearing the Green Room this summer we'll unlock a Social Week and 3 days of free lit work posting! I don't think the Green Room has been cleared for several years, and will certainly take all hands on deck to accomplish - but with some of the all star reviewers I think we may be able to pull it off! Also if you'd like to join a Team to make that challenge even more fun, you can sign up Right Here.

It's going to be an awesome Summer!
