This is unfortunate. I distinctly remember participating in NaNoWriMo back in middle school. The writing often extended beyond November as it was actually enjoyable. Freeform writing is so much better for learning than the contrived bureaucratic style we're forced into in high school.

My eight year old daughter is busily writing several books about the adventures of cats on nanowrimo.

Are there any good open source alternatives for self hosting this kind of platform?

This makes me very sad.

Why is AI writing shunned? The book publishing industry needs to be badly disrupted.
