Brittle Paper: AI restrictions and literary responses in a flash-fiction competition

The archive provides Chinese and English research texts. Translations may be AI-assisted and may not yet have received independent human review. Consult the original-language sources alongside them.

This competition restricts AI construction and publishes works imagining writers’ future roles; enforcement remains unchecked.

Dates describe collected records, not the full life of the case.
RESEARCH NOTE

Competition-specific rules and organiser testimony, not a general platform ban. Author nationalities, screening logs and payments unchecked; fictional voices do not establish shared political positions. Metadata and summaries only; no full works reproduced.
