For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

Responses for fanfic recommendations and lost fanfics should provide a fanfic title and author name and if possible a link to said fanfic. All shared fanfics should be akin to what the OP is looking for at the very least. Excessive judgement and discussion of said parametres of fics wanted will not be tolerated (done case by case). OP is asking for a fanfic you recommend or for the fic they lost, NOT judment. **Comment with fanfics for the OP or don't comment at all.** - Keep Discussions & Debates In-Universe With ASOIAF
What we mean by this is please try to use history, examples, characters and information from ASOIAF to support your discussions or arguments about ASOIAF. Avoid using real life politics and historical figures to further your argument, ESPECIALLY ones that are sensitive topics. Be sensible with comparisons, we all enjoy ASOIAF and there is no need to add real life politics and issues to a discussion of fictional characters and stories. - No Dead Horse Beatings/Spam
If the same topic is repeated over and over and over in a short period of time it will be considered spam and deleted, muted, or locked at the discretion of the mods. If a member posts numerous times in a short length of time, posts will be removed and the member will be put on a break (temporary ban) - No Monetization of Fanworks

Homophobia, sexism, racism, islamophobia, or any derogatory language will not be tolerated. No advocating for genocide and genocidal figures (fictional and historical). Such behavior has no place here. We are not a history subreddit. Statements of violence towards anyone (characters, writers, other members) are not welcome. No bashing fanfics and writers.

No spam posting What-If posts: i.e. 3+ What-If posts in less than 24 hours per user. All What-If posts will be held to be looked over by a mod, then approved if the requirements are met. Repeated what-if posts will be removed. If the comments in a what-if post are arguing in a circle, the comments are subject to being locked and/or removed with appropriate mod action - Adopting A Fanfic
This means that you are offering up your WRITTEN fanfic that you are abandoning to be adopted by someone else. 1. Your fic must be published to be adopted by anyone else. 2. You must work out an agreement with the person you choose to adopt your work. 3. Your work may or may not be adopted 4. You should not expect your fic to be continued just as you hoped it would. - Fanfic Idea for Adoption
1. You are asking for your idea to be written since you are not writing it yourself. 2. The person who decides to write your idea is OPEN to creatively changing and adapting your idea as they please. 3 Your posted idea is PUBLIC. 4. There is no guarantee that your idea will be adopted to be written. 5. You should not expect your idea to be written exactly as you wished. - No Impersonating Authors.
Pretending to be an author and making comments on an authors' behalf will not be tolerated. - Use the Correct Flair for Your Posts
There is a detailed guide for all the flairs and what posts fall under each flair. The guide is linked under Guides & Resources. If the mods have to keep changing your post flairs for you: your posts will be removed and you will have to repost with the correct flair.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
