- AI policy
- AI-generated stories will not be accepted. Stories must be imagined, drafted, written, and edited by humans; basic spelling and grammar-checking tools are acceptable, but AI tools or text generators must not be used to make changes to the text, and steering clear of all generative AI/LLM tools is recommended.
