Thank you to everyone who got involved in the survey and questions around AI feedback. Yes, we will move to reading four stories (and leaving feedback on those four) for future projects, opposed to the two we ask for now. No, we will not open the site to the public. You must continue to sign up in order to read and review. We will not integrate AI into Create50 projects in the foreseeable future.

Yesterday, I emailed the community about Twisted50 and new projects. I decided to share that email here, along with some of the dynamic results. Feel free to add your voice to the conversation…I am sure you will have guessed, we are considering another Create50 project. And I have a couple of simple questions for you. Just click the links and you will get instant results too.

As we approach the book release, which is some time off, we will start entering the marketing phase. When book reviewers come to the site, we want them to see an engaged community that has enjoyed the process. We will be building author pages and attaching your blog posts that you have written for us, to those pages.

This shared interest creates a unique community where individuals can find solace in the creepy and macabre. Here are some reasons why horror resonates with so many:

AI is here and it’s not going away. The debate as to the efficacy, ethical nature and a possible dystopian techno future rages. Setting that to one side for a moment though, I have seen several AI videos now, and they almost all have this nightmarish sheen. Often subtle, sometimes overt, as with this one here from artist Petr Válek.
