Harlequin to Co-Produce AI-Generated 'Microdramas' - Publishers Weekly

 

I want to see one.

Panzer's last stop in the Catosphere today was at the Publishers Weekly site.

 

There he found a post by Sam Spratford about romance publisher Harlequin's announcement of its jump into AI-generated content in the form of Microdramas.

 

Panzer says, "Hmm ... One company bans AI-generated content and another embraces it."

 

Note:This is a long-medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and two chocolate chip cookies (biscuits) to snack on.

Wikipedia bans AI-generated content in its online encyclopedia -TheGuardian

I didn't know it was an issue.

Panzer's next stop in the Catosphere was at The Guardian site. With a tiny bit of digging in the posts our inquisitive kitty boy found one about Wikipedia.

 

According to the post by Oliver Milman, Wikipedia has banned AI material from the site. Included in the post are links to other information.

 

Panzer  says, "When you go to the site, that's not a pay wall you see first. Click the down arrow on the right to read the post."

 

Note: This is a short medium length post. Bring a cup of tea to drink.

74 Calls for Submissions in April 2026 - Paying markets - Publishing ... and Other Forms of Insanity

74 markets? Wow!

Panzer's first stop in the Catosphere today was at the Publishing ... and Other Forms of Insanity site.

 

There he found Erica Verrillo has a list of 74 markets accepting fiction (long and short), nonfiction and poetry submissions. Some of the markets have a deadline of April 1 and some open for submissions April 1.

 

Panzer says, "Always read the guidelines before you submit."

 

Note: Because there are 74 markets listed, this is a very long post. You'll need to decide what to bring to snack on while you study the markets.

 Hmmm ...

 

How would I know?
