Long-context LLMs could supplement or replace the production and reception process or even automate literary creation. However, it remains unclear how literary professionals utilize this knowledge and skill, or how it relates to the literal history of experimental and/or digital fiction. To serve as a basis for discussion, this study examined novel submission sites (n=154), the status of AI-use regulation. The results revealed that only 15 (9.7%) had AI policies. The policies regarding: 1) permitting, discouraging, or prohibiting AI use; 2) mandatory disclosure of usage; 3) limiting usage; 4) disclaimers; 5) consent for mediation; and 6) penalties. Only 0.08% of work disclose the use of AI. Within the sites having AI policy, there are cautious, laissez-faire, and proactive types. The social acceptance of generative AI is inconsistent; literature is no exception.
