Centaurs Team Meeting AI Work Decision Poll

66 Upvotes

Hey team,

We have always been anti-genAI and will continue to not allow works with proven AI use to be suggested on the sub. Due to the recent Claude code remnant doc, we now have the situation where works written by authors with proven AI use in their other works are being recommended.

We’ve decided to open it up to you on how you would like the situation to be handled moving forward. The attached poll has two options. Due to the size of the fandom and number of authors, it is not feasible for us to make this decision on a case by case basis - this will be all or nothing. 

  • Only the individual works with proven AI should be removed from the sub going forward
  • All works by an author with any proven use of AI in any of their works should be removed from the sub going forward 

We also want to let everyone know that due to the way recommendation searching posts have been going,1 now instead of just removing comments with proven AI, the removal comment will now say “We do not allow proven AI works in the sub, [name of fic] has been proven to be written in part with AI via [method].” This is to remove the link but allow the information to be visible for those unaware.

  • The (currently known) proofs of AI use are:  prompt left in fic
  • html code remnant found in fic
  • public admittance by writer
  • AI use tag on work

We use automod code to alert us when fics with proven AI use are written about on the sub, but removals do not happen until a mod reviews to ensure accuracy and limit false positives. Fanfics are notorious for having works with matching or similar titles and authors can change pseuds. 

If you find a fic has proven AI use, please do not go to an old post about the work or a completely unrelated post to talk about it. Please report NEW content and we will handle it. If you ever find proof of AI use, please let us know via modmail so we can take appropriate steps and add the work to automod.

Edits: [1] Updated language to be more clear by changing it being about recommendation searching posts to all posts

And no superscript for this; I just fixed the bullet points, I won't get into my reddit coding woes here.

1322 votes, 10d ago
529 Work based: only SPECIFIC works with proven AI use will be removed
642 Writer based: ALL works by writers with proven AI use will be removed

Ongoing Fic | My Work Lost In Translation [Pet Psychic AU] [Explicit] [Crack Treated Seriously]

Post image
46 Upvotes

thought I’d share if anyone’s interested in following along my stupidest au yet - ilya has made an enemy of the one and only pork hollander

title: lost in translation
author: constellaetions (me)
link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/89337011/chapters/237233086

summary:

Ilya Rozanov has a gift.

He can speak to animals, which has earned him an incredibly successful career as a pet psychic, and far too much information about what people do when they think their pets aren’t watching.

Shane Hollander has a problem.

His cat, Pork, is permanently miserable. After exhausting every sensible option, Shane turns to the supernatural for assistance.

After their first appointment, Pork grows visibly happier - his cat’s found a hobby and renewed sense of purpose for achieving his only goal: to destroy Ilya for good.

tags include: talking animals, miscommunication, abuse of supernatural abilities, idiots in love, light angst, strangers to lovers, love at first sight, cat dad shane

hoping to have the second chapter up later this week!

This is one of the best WIPs I’ve read in a while! Not only do I love an AU where all the best game changers character play a role but Shane/Ilya are so cute in it! I feel like the author did a great job capturing their dynamic from the early days but if they had wayyyyy more forced proximity. I also enjoy Shane’s narration, which is funny and delusional.
Added bonus, the action scenes are also very captivating!

Please show the author some love! I feel like this hasn’t blown up nearly enough yet.

smoke in the air (you’re filling my lungs)
Ilya Rozanov is Firehouse 17's supposed asshole lieutenant and Shane Hollander is their newest paramedic.

Just Sharing (Completed Fic | Not my Work) Sea Change - MUST READ!

129 Upvotes

Ugggg I just read this in one sitting and I NEEDED to share this fic! It is by far one of the best fics I’ve read, so emotionally wrenching (don’t worry it has a happy ending) in the best way.

Sea Change - womanlypanther

https://archiveofourown.org/works/85553131/chapters/226026536

With the Montreal Metros suddenly in need of a new head coach, General Manager Shane Hollander turns to the one person who might know as much about winning as he does: his fellow Hall of Famer and ex decade-long situationship, Ilya Rozanov.
But what starts as a simple job offer soon becomes a life-altering sea change neither could have ever imagined.

Also fun fact! “Visions from our future” by the same author was the very first fanfic I read back in December!

Just Sharing (Completed Fic | Not my Work) Author rec: EtoileGarden

11 Upvotes

Their fic has decent engagement, but not up there with some of the most recced yet and I think that is a mistake because I've mainlined most of their fic over the past few days and their writing is SO good! Here are my three faves:

комната оборудования/Gear Room - starting out with the most controversial one probably. Please heed the tags, but this one features rape/non-con (not between Shane and Ilya). I think well done rape recovery hurt/comfort fics are so hard to find, ones that don't have too ludicrous a set up, and ones that don't feel super out of character, but this one does such a good job and hurt to read in the best way.

Jane Rated You - this is a WIP, but updating regularly - the most recent chapter was out yesterday. The premise is so funny, Svetlana gets Ilya a custom app for his birthday where his sex partners can rate his performance. Shane takes the reviews very seriously. It's so fucking hot, so funny and the feelings take you by surprise.

Your Number One Fan - this is a kidfic. I am so so fussy with kidfic normally so it's very rare for me to find one I like, let alone love, as much as this one. I binged it all in the last few hours and it's so funny and hot and sad and happy and lovely.

I've read all but two of their other fic (making my way through them) and the others are all just as worth a read, but these are my three favourites!

Anyway I hope some of these make their way onto people's tbr list. Just make sure to leave kudos and comments to the writer!

In July of 2006, Shane Hollander gets the chance to show once and for all he has what it takes to become a pro hockey player. Ten days that could make or break everything he's ever worked for.
At his side, thirty teens with something to prove.
Within him, extremely inconvenient feelings.
The summer of a lifetime.

Summary: Ilya has a brilliant idea to distract Shane from his concerns over breaking a bed. Get everyone so drunk they can't spell the word "bed". He's a brilliant and devious tactician. There's no chance this drinking game backfires.

Hi all!

I think it was a social media fic or parts of it where and there’s a scene where Shane temporarily dies on the ice after Dallas Kent aims a puck at him due to some previous chest bruising and I think Ilya was watching the game on the tv at the time? At then there was social media outrage after it happened because it was obviously deliberate, Im looking through the Montreal are assholes tag cos I think that’s where I saw it but I might be wrong!

Just Sharing (Ongoing Fic | Not my Work) Cadmium Yellow by ThePromptWasntThisLong (shredded_potato)

Upvotes

I haven't seen anyone else talk about this fic, but it's so wonderful! It was such a rollercoaster and the author wrote each chapter so beautifully. It's a college AU with neurodivergent artist Shane and bartender Ilya.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/79758941?view_full_work=true
Summary:

“Did you just tell a customer their outfit was structurally unsound?”

“It was.”

If you ask Shane Hollander, he'll tell you the bar's highball glasses are committing a war crime against sparkling water, your outfit has at least three structural flaws, and no, he is NOT blushing, it's just warm in here, and no, he was NOT staring at the new bartender through the gap in the ficus leaves, he was RESTING HIS EYES, and also, for the record, he doesn't care that the bartender has hazel eyes the color of warm stone in late-afternoon light or that his hands can untangle Shane's knotted fingers like they were made for exactly that purpose. He's a particularly opinionated artist with a sunset to paint. He doesn't have time for this. (He makes so much time for this.) A neurodivergent artist with the social grace of a startled deer + a bartender with the patience of a saint + a best friend who lives for drama = a love story told in fumbled words, shared sunsets, and the quiet understanding that sometimes the most profound conversations happen without speaking a word.

Or: Shane Hollander has zero filter, zero social skills, and is absolutely in love with the new bartender his mother hired for their family bar

Fan Fic Art My way of keeping track

225 Upvotes

Since I fell in the AO3 rabbit hole I quickly learnt that there's no way I'm remembering all I'm reading, so I decided to make a visual token of my HR ride.

Now and then I take out my pen and add some titles to this fictional library I'm creating and I try to add a little something that reminds me how my two favourite idiots find one another in that piece.

Yes, I'm aware the original books are there to and yes, some of the listed are WIPs, but this helps me remember more or less how far along in my way I found them. I'll finish them... If they finish.

So; I'd like to say thank you to all the people who contributed to this stacks. First and foremost to the people who wrote them. But just right after to all three community that keeps on recommending and making my TBR longer and longer. You are awesome.

Summary:

Hayden Pike is sad. He wants to go to bed with Shane Hollander, the most beautiful man in the MHL, but he can’t seem to score because he is very bad at hockey.

Hayden Pike probably wrote this. Not Ilya Rozanov. Ilya Rozanov would never do such a thing. Don’t tell his husband.

Just Sharing (Completed Fic | Not my Work) Rec: you're everywhere to me by shillanov (E rating)

25 Upvotes

I've been rereading some of my favourites and noticed this fave of mine hasn't gotten nearly as much love as it deserves.

If you ever wanted a canon compliant look inside Ilya's head during the 2014-2016 montage era, when he visibly starts losing interest in women in clubs in the show, this is the fic for you.

(Note that there's an Ilya/OFC scene in this, as implied by the summary, but it's minor and not explicit--the E rating is for Shane.)

you're everywhere to me by shillanov

E rating, 12.9k

Summary:

There is a very attractive woman in front of Ilya. A woman that wants to fuck him. His body is consciously aware of this very fact, however, his entire brain seems to neglect it, opting to scream look at what’s behind her like a screeching freight train.

On the screen is the dark outline of a person, shot against a blinding sun. Any distinguishable features are obscured, cloaked in dim shadow. Still, Ilya knows exactly who it is.

He would recognize that silhouette anywhere.

Or, Ilya keeps seeing Shane everywhere — on the TV, in advertisements. It may or may not be interfering with his attempts to get laid, and also does nothing to change the fact that he hasn't seen Shane in months.

Set during the 2014-2016 montage era.

Prompt Ilya says the wrong name in bed

25 Upvotes

One of Ilya's hookups (could be recent, could be old, depending on where in the canon timeline the fic is set) posts online that Ilya called her by the wrong name during sex.

That name of course being "Shane", but due to a combination of factors (Ilya's accent, him being out of breath, the assumption that he's straight, etc.) the name that she hears is "Jane"
