When ChatGPT<\/a> can whip up a whole plot in 20 seconds, Unglossed<\/em> explores how AI is impacting fan fiction.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fanfiction is a huge genre in its own right. But gone are the days of anonymous, intensely talented Reddit authors crafting unique, engaging and interesting alter universes and outcomes for your favourite characters. Now, with a couple clicks you can have ChatGPT write you one in whatever style pleases you most. Now, I\u2019m not saying this doesn\u2019t count as \u201creal\u201d creativity, but relying on a tool trained system does of course run the risk of losing personal voice.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact: The Amazon Prime movie\u2019s \u2018After<\/a>\u2019<\/em> and \u2018The Idea of You\u2019<\/em> both originated from Reddit fan fictions written about Harry Styles. And there are people, like the authors of these fanfics (turned successful franchise\u2019s), who have a genuine talent for creating a world which people connect and identify with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any of your wildest \u201cwhat if\u2019s\u201d can be instantly laid out in front of you. Ever wondered what would happen if Harry Potter was put in Slytherin? Here\u2019s ChatGPT\u2019s version of the first 2 chapters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

“Harry Potter and the Serpent\u2019s Path”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Slytherin Rewrite of Year One<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter One: The Sorting Shift<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Harry Potter sat nervously on the three-legged stool, the Sorting Hat slipping down over his eyes. The voice in his head whispered, just like before:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hmm… tricky. Very tricky. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind either. A thirst to prove yourself… Oh my, yes. And such potential. You could do well in Slytherin…”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the original timeline, Harry had begged “Not Slytherin!”<\/em> But this time, curiosity took over. What if the rumors weren\u2019t true? What if Slytherin wasn\u2019t all bad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Slytherin,”<\/em> Harry thought silently. “Let\u2019s see what I can become.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hat paused\u2014delighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Very well then. SLYTHERIN!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silence swept the Great Hall for half a second longer than it should have. Then the Slytherin table burst into applause. Draco Malfoy, who had already been sorted, was the first to stand and clap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Looks like we\u2019ve got the famous Potter,” he whispered with a smirk as Harry sat beside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter Two: Serpents and Shadows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Harry quickly realized that Slytherin House was not simply a den of bullies and pure-blood supremacists. Beneath the surface, it was full of ambition, cunning, and quiet strategy. Professor Snape was harder on him than ever\u2014it seemed his fame still annoyed the man\u2014but others, like Gemma Farley (Slytherin prefect), showed him the ropes. Even Blaise Zabini, aloof and quiet, treated Harry with a cautious respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Draco Malfoy, sensing the opportunity for influence, tried to form an alliance. But Harry, wise enough to keep his distance, remained polite yet independent. He didn\u2019t reject Draco\u2014but he didn\u2019t follow him either. That confused and intrigued the other boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Ron Weasley steered clear of him, clearly upset by Harry\u2019s placement. Hermione was curious but wary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

And sure, it may not be ground breaking, but with a few more prompts we have a really riveting story on our hands. Anyone with an idea and internet connection can now generate pages of readable fanfic. This removes technical barriers (grammar, structure) and opens up storytelling to more people. But it also blurs authorship: Who \u201cwrote\u201d the story? The fan, or the machine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time for another CHATGPT special, this time lets see what would happen if Nesta and Cassian (from trending fantasy book series A Court of Thorns and Roses<\/em>) got together after their first encounter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Fanfic Title (Optional): “Ashes and Wings”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting:<\/strong> Post-War Velaris & House of Wind
Pairing:<\/strong> Cassian \u00d7 Nesta
Timeline:<\/strong> After their initial tension-filled interactions in A Court of Wings and Ruin<\/em>, before Nesta fully begins training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 1: “Scars and Silence”<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chapter Goal:<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Establish emotional distance and buried attraction between Cassian and Nesta; force them into physical proximity where underlying feelings begin to surface through tension and vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plot Outline:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Opening Scene:<\/strong> Nesta isolates herself again in a dingy corner of the House of Wind, ignoring everyone\u2019s invitations to join training or the Inner Circle.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cassian is sent<\/strong> (or volunteers) to bring her food\u2014again. He doesn\u2019t knock. She doesn\u2019t thank him. There\u2019s silence. Friction.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Argument sparks<\/strong> when Cassian casually comments, \u201cYou\u2019ll rot in this room before you face what\u2019s outside.\u201d Nesta fires back, using brutal words. Cassian doesn\u2019t rise to the bait.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Unexpected moment of softness:<\/strong> Nesta makes a quiet, almost imperceptible reference to the war\u2014how quiet it is now. Cassian notices her hands trembling ever so slightly.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cassian shares a scar<\/strong>, not just physically (he shows an old wound from the war) but emotionally\u2014he mentions someone he couldn\u2019t save. It throws Nesta off.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • End scene:<\/strong> Cassian starts to walk out, but instead of slamming the door, he says softly, \u201cYou\u2019re not the only one who came back broken.\u201d Nesta doesn\u2019t respond\u2014but something in her eyes flickers.
    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

     <\/strong>Emotional Notes:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Slow burn tension
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Subtle attraction under bitterness
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Nesta is hostile but shaken
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Cassian is patient but tired
      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Chapter 2: “The Dance of Blades”<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Chapter Goal:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Nesta is challenged to physically engage for the first time since the war. Cassian pushes her boundaries\u2014but also begins to understand her pain. A key spark of mutual respect begins to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Plot Outline:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Opening Scene:<\/strong> Rhys, tired of her isolation, insists Nesta must begin some form of physical training or contribute to the court.
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Cassian agrees to train her<\/strong>\u2014on the condition that she\u2019s not forced. He brings the offer up to Nesta directly: \u201cI\u2019ll be in the training ring. Join me if you want.\u201d
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Nesta surprises everyone<\/strong>\u2014including herself\u2014by showing up.
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Training scene:<\/strong> She\u2019s stiff, angry, defensive. Cassian teaches with teasing precision, goading her into reacting. She eventually explodes in frustration\u2014and lands a hit.
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Post-sparring moment:<\/strong> Breathless, flushed, she catches him looking at her\u2014not just her body, but the storm behind her eyes. There\u2019s a pause that almost<\/em> turns into something more.
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Nesta says something self-deprecating<\/strong>, brushing off her effort. Cassian stops her and says, \u201cYou\u2019re stronger than you think. And that scares the hell out of you, doesn\u2019t it?\u201d
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • End scene:<\/strong> Nesta doesn\u2019t deny it. They walk away in silence, side by side\u2014but closer than they\u2019ve ever been.
        <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Emotional Notes:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Tension evolves into reluctant respect
          <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Physicality increases emotional vulnerability
          <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • First genuine connection moment (unspoken but powerful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          Again, it\u2019s not life- shattering, but it\u2019s good. And it\u2019s certainly more than any old Tom, Dick or Harry off the street could come up with. Plus ChatGPT did that in about 20 seconds, so with a couple tweaks we’d have a great story on our hands. For a human, that would be a couple hours of work, a cup of coffee and at least one bathroom break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Beyond the \u201cwhat if\u2019s\u201d of book and film fanfiction, you can venture into personal ultimate fantasy territory. Ever wondered what would happen if Harry Styles fell in love with you whilst you were in the crowd of one of his gigs? According to our friend, this is how it would go: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Scenario Title: “In the Crowd”<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Setting:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          A warm summer night. Harry Styles is performing at an outdoor venue\u2014music pulsing through the night air, fans swaying, lights flickering like stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          You weren’t even supposed to be here tonight. A last-minute ticket, a spontaneous \u201cwhy not\u201d decision after a long week, and here you were\u2014tucked into the middle of the crowd, just close enough to see him clearly, but far enough that you could still get lost in the sea of strangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Then, it happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          During the middle of “Love of My Life”<\/strong>, as the opening chords rippled through the crowd, Harry looked out over the sea of faces\u2014and paused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Just for a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          His eyes landed on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          He faltered\u2014not enough for the crowd to notice, but enough that you saw it. Like he\u2019d lost his breath for a beat. You blinked, wondering if you imagined it. But he held your gaze. And smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Not the typical stage-smile\u2014the wide, charming grin that made thousands scream. No, this was smaller<\/em>. Slower. Like a secret. Like he was smiling just for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          You looked behind you\u2014no one. Just you. You raised an eyebrow slightly, your lips twitching with curiosity. His grin grew, eyes glinting with something unreadable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          He sang the next line and looked right at you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          “I don’t know you… but I want to.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          After the show, your friends teased you, said you were imagining it. But just as you were leaving, a security guard approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \u201cHi\u2014are you [Your Name]?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Your heart stopped. \u201cYes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          He handed you a small card. Just a name. No number. Just four words, written in familiar, slanted handwriting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          “Backstage. I meant it.” \u2014H.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          You turned around, heart thudding. Could this really be happening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          *My personal favourite moment in that was “you look behind you, but there was no one there” because not sure about anyone else, but I have never EVER been at a concert and had no one behind me! And if you are so far back for there to be no one behind you, I’m pretty sure it would take a telescope and a half for Harry to spot you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          So far, it seems to be mostly book series fandom groups which are making the most of this tool, countless Reddit threads have people exploring all sorts of conspiracies. Fantasy genre fans appear especially committed, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed seeing them explore literally every avenue of what couples, dynamics and romantic moments could\u2019ve or should\u2019ve happened. Personally, I always wished that Lucien and Elaine would get together in A Court Of Thorns and Roses<\/em>, so any fanfiction about that was particularly juicy for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Despite how fun that was, I can\u2019t help but wonder if human creativity and machine mimicry is a really dangerous line to cross into. Whilst AI is democratizing authorship, it adds a level of complication- who is responsible for that piece of work? And when there are talented humans able to create these worlds, should we be turning to them instead of AI? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          And honestly, I’m not really sure, so I asked ChatGPT what they thought (The irony, I know):  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \u201cHuman fanfic writers bring unique voices, emotional depth, and a sense of community that AI can’t replicate\u2014so they\u2019ll always be the heart of fandom. But AI can be a helpful tool for personalized, on-demand stories or brainstorming ideas. Ideally, they complement each other, not compete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          That sounds fair enough to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
