It’s actually not AS funny as it seems: It’s crazier.
For those who have actually played the game, theres a huge fine print thing you have to sign, and if you read through it, it actually says that everything posted on the site is immediately released by the creator as the property of AMC, which, insanely, means if they use the entire plot of your stupid fanfic game as part of the show, they don’t need to credit you ever.
It’s actually a genius way to try and DISCOURAGE independent fanfic, replacing it with a place where the corporation owns and censors everything you make without credit.
If you post something in a normal fanfic, there is some legal precedent for your ownership if your work is plagiarized by the canon production, but the app is one step ahead.

There’s some lovely striping in these purple panels that is only visible in the lucky spots on the set lighting. The petals on this design are mixed and mashed from two types of Earth orchids.
Cecil. She/her. During the day I sit in libraries staring at books. During the night I write queer fanfiction with a historical slant.
Some not-so-random facts: Gay space lizards are the best lizards. Star Trek is my life. I have too many DS9 ships. Classic Who and the Eighth Doctor Adventures make me grin stupidly. Kelas Parmak is the best. I will defend historically accurate portrayals of Alan Turing to the last drop of blood. Likes and asks end up in the name of @apolesens-otheraccount, because Tumblr doesn't have a way of changing which blog is your primary one. Nothing happens over there - this is the one to follow.
