    Is using AI is wrong?

    AI is like a hammer. That's all. It's like a hammer. You wouldn't use a hammer to trim your nails, flip pancakes, or eat a bowl of spaghetti, right? Right?

    It's Time To Boycott Nintendo [News Update 2025/11/6]

    meh, it's all coming down in half a decade anyway. No reason to get riled up. stockpile food and ammunition, you have more important enemies to fight.

    what to do with covers?

    I like locking artists in my basement, and paying them by saying, "It puts the painting on the cover' until they make something I like enough that I can finally dispose of them.

    Online safety act.......

    That's okay, it's not like the UK government is going to last long anyway. They're just jumping the gun in obeying their Emir masters.

    Is using AI is wrong?

    Ironically, you can even tell which AI it is. Deepseek. ChatGPT doesn't offer that much over-the-top praise and shallow detail

    Just noticed there's no "Western" or "Wild West" tag

    The Longarm books are old west setting, even though the genre is strictly smut.

    How would you describe a fictional fight?

    I am quoting a fight I had a LOT of fun writing, and that's usually how I write my fights. (fair warning, a little chonky)

    Hey Buddy, wanna buy a plot?

    To my annoyance-

    Why are writers almost always cat people? Because Cats don't need to be walked twice a day. That's all it is. We have more important things to do. The best part about cats and dogs? When you go over your plot complication, they don't offer any suggestions; they just turn their head sideways and...

    What do you think about Loli?

    Any guy can get fooled by a nice rack and an ID that says '18'. But I completely support the death penalty for anyone who sexually abuses a prepubescent. I honestly think Piers Anthony deserved jail time for 'Firefly', or at least a good beatdown. He tried to describe it as sympathetically as...

    How would you describe a fictional fight?

    It honestly changes based on how important to the plot the fight is. Usually I describe in greater detail when it's important, showcases 'new' stuff, new mechanics, or critical to the plot... but sometimes I am like "The fights with the basilisk went much easier after we finally started using...

    A gag or a bit related to your story you're too committed to even if no one notice

    I use so many running gags that it's not even funny. I mean that literally, it's not funny because almost no one gets 4 or 5 layer jokes or plot elements.

    Porn in Writing

    That is complicated, and leads to a very deep discussion on social harmfulness, attitudes, and even sexual roles. The problem is that arguments CAN and WILL lead to people getting banned, because certain physical and historical realities, as well as unpopular side effects of the growing...

    Need help in identifying right tags for novel and remove the unnecessary ones.

    Why does this feel like a thinly-veiled attempt to get more writers to look at your work? *snicker*

    Annoying, Unsolicited Advertisement of Services

    Meh, I used to pay a walt disney artist after the studio canned like 75% of their staff, but after a while, I realized that she wasn't 'getting any better' as an artist, and refused to try another job. I already raised children. I ain't payin' for someone else's kids to act like that.

    What do you think about Loli?

    I only like certain brands. Chupa Chups are okay, but overhyped. blow pops are nasty, though.

    account got banned for no reason

    Or, the guy might have committed a technical error like...I dunno, harassing people in private messages to buy his AI artwork, for example.

    To my annoyance-

    I will give you a hint. They published a 'popular' book about a lesbian cyberpunk who was trying to rescue her sister, which was only popular on RR. It flopped on Amazon and, I believe, here. The fact that she was a lesbian wasn't the problem; the fact that it was an opinionated, hateful...
