HARD SAME

My brain works in em dashes and parentheses. I wouldn't use the latter in fic, but I've been known to abuse the former.

But LBR, em dashes are discouraged in general for a reason. They're informal get-arounds. Perhaps AI is holding a mirror up to some of our lazier writing techniques, and it's jarring to see our reflection.

Of course fic is fic, and the typical fic audience is more concerned with content than style. So unless you're involved with a group of serious writers, I can't imagine anyone calling you out.

The idea is kind of humorous, though, when you consider the transformative nature of fic. There's a lot there to unpack academically if one were so inclined.
