Life's a bitch

Thanks Sn*tf*ce (I can't come to grips with that handle) for taking the time to write that story.

it certainly took a good author of gay fantasy fiction to be able to pull together all the essential elements to produce such a tearjerker - I think I first read this piece in one of the local gay magazines five years ago, where did you first read it Sn*tf*ce?

You are of course entitled to your opinion of the literary merit or lack of it of what I wrote. But you then proceed to make an accusation of plagiarism and for that evidence is required. Otherwise you are merely issuing an unfounded slur and people will judge for themselves the kind of person you are.

I note you are not claiming, hand on heart, that this is a true account in your own words of your actual experience with one actual Thai guy to be judged on a personal sadness scale rather rather than a piece of gay fiction to be judged on a literary merit scale

I am sure some AI boffins somewhere (if they haven't already) could get together and train a deep neural network on years and years of posting on forums and short stories in magazines that when then provided with a few keywords could produce very acceptable tearjerkers like this piece and it could be hard to draw the line between original writing skills and plagiarism in relation to these stories, and in the same way I am willing to concede I was waylaid by your ability to write to genre standards rather than resorting to plagiarism

but I am sure the AI software would start not its first person post with "This is a sad story. Read on only if you like sad stories." thus trying to cast its story as real rather than fiction!

Just for the record, that's exactly what it is. But if it satisfies some deep need in you to regard it as fiction, please continue to do so. The views of someone like you are of no interest to me.
