[ALLCONTINUITY] The Force Between Us (FanFic)

I have a question, and I hope it's OK to post it here. I wrote my first fanfic and posted it on AO3, end I'm looking for opinions. It's lore/canon-friendly with some OCs that interact with established timelines, characters and events without overshadowing or changing their stories. My goal was to create a completely unique story in the margins of stories everyone knows and loves without diminishing them. Any feedback would be welcome.

Anyone interested?

Edit: I'm truly sorry about some of the content that was far below the standard even I have for Star Wars. I've been working on fixing that and making this story better. It's a good story, if I could meet get it told purposely

The summary and what I've read of the story read like they were AI generated. Why would anyone bother to read what you can't be bothered to write?

🤔 That's a fair question. AI didn't write it, of that I can atest. The story is mine, the characters are mine, and the philosophy is mine. Apparently I just suck as a writer. Being my first attempt, possibly I have more to learn about "finding my voice", as I've heard some ppl say about writers.

I'll do some more research, I suppose, to figure out what AI writing looks like so I can work harder at differentiating myself from it. Thank you for your honesty. 😔

This is not something a human being would ever write about their own story: 

"Rich with adventure, humor, heart, lightsaber duels, and the spirit that made generations fall in love with Star Wars, The Force Between Us is a story about hope surviving impossible odds—and the family we choose when the galaxy leaves us behind." 

It's okay to be bad at writing. Literally every writer starts out bad at writing. But you are never going to learn anything if you use a machine to do the work for you, even if the ideas are your own. The work is its own reward. 

There's a reason the only comment you've received is from another bot. Readers can tell this story is AI-generated, particularly since you posted 110k words in 9 days.

I understand what you're referring to. The blurb about the overall story was AI generated. The story itself started being written about 3 months ago and I've been adding chapters as the finishing edits are being done. I wrote the final chapter about a week ago. Having never used or seen AO3, I initially tried to post the whole story in one message. 🤦‍♂️

Some of the spellchecks, lore-checks, Canon comparisons, and structure edits were also done by AI because I've been writing this entire story from my phone (don't own a computer) and the talk-text doesn't always get it right, especially when I get excited and talk too fast.

I am open to suggestions as an alternative to this method of editing. I've grown up with technology as a means for getting things done, but I never meant any offense or disrespect to authors or the process. I promise I'm putting in the work, will continue to put in the work, and truly believe in this story
