Long story short: this account closes in November. If you’d like to continue following my work, you can sign up for email updates here: https://atuckercrowder.ac-page.com/.....d-landing-page

My creative process has changed. It’s now AI-first—not because it’s trendy, but because it finally lets me work the way I’ve always wanted to.

For a writer with low vision, this technology isn’t a shortcut; it’s a doorway. It lets me visualize worlds, characters, and scenes that used to exist only in my head. It’s an accessibility revolution.

Unfortunately, that revolution isn’t welcome here. As of 2022, AI-assisted art is not allowed here. I have already broken that rule without knowing it existed.

I’ve spent years sharing stories and art on this site, but the landscape has shifted. When the tools that make new modes of creation possible for people like me are treated as taboo, it’s time to move on.

I’ll leave this account up until the end of November so anyone who enjoys my work can stay connected. After that, it’ll close.

On a personal note, I’ve never been so disappointed in the fandom as I am right now. We’ve created a purity test that seems gleeful in castigating folks who experiment. That wasn’t what I joined this fandom for 24 years ago, and I won’t sit quietly on the sidelines waiting for the fandom to catch up.

Even if I have no audience here, I still have art to make.

Thank you to everyone who read, commented, or reached out. You’ve been part of my growth as both an artist and a storyteller.
