Right away, plenty of Redditors expressed annoyance at the use of AI for the story. Many pointed out that if she was willing to use it for the artwork, she might as well use it for the actual story too.

Other comments included:

  • Even though I am a Dramione fan, she’s using AI artwork and I wonder if she uses AI to write her stories as well. Also why on Patreon?!? There’s Ao3! Is this a money grab? I’mma pass on reading this one.”
  • Love the water mark on an AI generated image”
  • Then the Dramione community needs to come together and stop her. Plain and simple.”
  • I wouldn’t be surprised if she used AI to write this since she used AI for the picture. This is definitely a money grab 😂. There are waaaaaay better fics on Ao3 for free. I highly doubt she would finish this so called ‘fic’ anyway.”
