Instead of abandoning this fic like Frankenstein abandons the monster, I have decided to give it the treatment it deserves. Well, this will probably be a monster of a fic if I don’t give up.

I am currently battling the limits of ChatGPT and working on an outline and a summary for the story, which will significantly affect its structure and broaden its scope. After I’m done with all that, I will likely have to go back to Chapter 1 of the story proper and modify it.

On a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 being a human author writing fanfiction on their own, if my previous effort level was 5, my current effort level might be around 25?

This is FanficGPT’s summary of the summary we are working on so far:

"In the high-stakes world of professional tennis, Iga Swiatek and Emma Raducanu navigate the complexities of friendship, love, and rivalry, all against a tense backdrop of global politics and personal turmoil. As Iga grapples with the pressures of being the world no. 1 and the responsibility of speaking out on important issues, Emma faces her own demons, struggling to find her footing amidst coaching changes and a series of injuries. As they lean on each other for support, an unforeseen twist involving a shadowy organization threatens to shake the very foundations of the tennis world. Will Iga and Emma's bond be enough to weather the storm, or will the dark secrets lurking behind the scenes shatter their trust and change the game forever?"

ChatGPT is unable to process queries that are too long and would promptly forget anything before the most recent 1000-1500 words.

(Or so I gather. Or is it 3000 words? I’m not sure.)

So, as I write the summary, I am breaking it down into chunks and feeding them to FanficGPT, which means FanficGPT doesn’t know the half of it yet. Therefore, take this summary with a shaker of salt.
