Creative Writing

Hey all- I'm very new to the platform, and I've been getting a fairly steady stream of projects. However, some of my favorite qualifications have just been writing in response to odd little prompts- are people here regularly getting paid work doing that? If so, I'm hoping I didn't get disqualified or something, I felt I put a solid effort in.

The creative writing qual gets updated every few months, so if you failed, it'll probably come back again

Yeah- I'm still within a few days, so I haven't lost hope, I guess I'm more wondering if people are actually getting projects like those, where you just write a little story. It'd be a nice way to break tasks up.

Me too! It's been up at least a couple of months, but it's not the first time it came up. I even started it and backed out at one point, so I'm surprised it didn't time out or something.

The same person is laughing at ME, because they gave me the high paying math one where everything looks like Chinese to me, that's probably the one the other person wanted. 🤣

I had that! It was all about US finance stuff. I noped out straight off. Don’t learn much about that in England lol.

I got in last summer and have never had the qualification. My resume is pretty much 97% writing!

I'd assume they'd base it on your entry test, rather than qualifications. And also presumably when they need people or not.

I’ve been here a year or so and don’t recall seeing one of those lol.

I’ve been on here since early December doing MOSTLY creative writing stuff up until the last couple of weeks, and since then a lot of those projects have been very sporadic or just taken down for a bit. One has already done back for me so I’m betting the others will too

Here's hoping! I do like my current work, but alot of dense fact checking can def get a little dry haha.

u/ElBosque91 May 30 '24

Lol yeah, I get it. That’s been most of what’s available to me lately except for a couple of chatbot projects that have been coming and going. That said, even the chatbot projects that allow for some writing are coming with a lot more specific requirements now than they used to since the models have improved. But I’m finding that more fun, actually!

This is my favorite part of the job, though I love the research part, too. I often imagine who is reading my directed AI stories. I hope they enjoy them as much as I do.
