Like he says. Or just realize that the most popular genres are the most popular for a reason. If I style my hair with a swoop on one side and the other buzzed, I just have to realize my opinion on what makes a good haircut might, possibly, be flawed or only apply to me.

Go to a bar, find the biggest guy you can who is trying to get a drunken hook-up with a girl, and call him a F*****. Nothing helps you write better than experience. After you wake up, while you are healing, you will have lots of opportunities to write down your impressions, and most...

How about we stop letting people look for excuses to stigmatize other writers? We already have enough of that crap. Someone who writes d*ckgirl harmelit is not going to get worse by using ai, and might produce a better product.

great, new forum mod that's also a writer. Countdown to my getting banned for giving a bad review... again (as happened on RR) begun.

I prefer 'little evils' that are important throughout the story, and then a 'big bad' near the end of the story that the little evils point to, as well as sprinkling hints of the big bad so that readers feel smart if they figured out what was going on. Rewarding readers by making them feel smart...

When it comes to posting chapters, I think splitting them up is generally the best, 1000-2000 words each. publishing? 'natural' chapters run best. They are there for your whole book, not something they can just pick up after school and then put down to do their homework. Published, I have had a...

I dunno, some of the best worlds around have been 'overbuilt' like lord of the rings.

Well, I have learned the hard way that most readers respond by ignoring your actual book and sending you private messages where they try to sell you artwork.

you can 'force' it to give you both positive and negative reviews, but it still tries to err on the side of 'feelgood'. and most of it's 'advice' is shallow pap. AI simply cannot understand nuance unless you point it out, and could explain why even converted-from-chinese versions of...

I was gonna get involved in this conversation, but then I realized just about any comment I made about loli-attracted persons would probably get me banned.

Yep, usually informing them of the holes in their argument shuts them up. Your best bet in most cases is finding someone with a cover you like, and then asking them to use their 'AI Alpha Dominance' to make you something you can use. I have actually done that SEVERAL times for other writers I...

It's all about timing. If you post during certain hours, your story chapters gain more visibility. It's like being a deer... the grass is longer and greener by the railroad tracks, but that's also where the hunters and wolves prefer to hunt. And nine times out of ten, if someone sends you a...

Yeah, and they get chopped off too. Trust me, it's obvious.

Well, I figured you didn't know, that's why I just let you know it was rude instead of insulting you in return. Sometiems I am proud of my restraint :P But you can still put your stories in your sig.

Just never let it have any 'creativity' with your work, because it has none. However, asking it for 'advice' after plugging in your chapter is a great use, because AI is good for picking out plot holes, dropped threads, and stuff like that. It will also be unfailingly complementary, no matter...

Have you ever written a story, and suddenly realized that you just accidentally retold another famous story with the serial numbers filed off by mistake?? I just wrote a 240-page modern-day romance superhero tale, and realized that by accident, it had a remarkable amount of parallels to both...

I have this bad habit of redoing the same story by mistake.

Is there any feelgood payoff at all? At some point can the reader identify and say "Yeah!"?

You know, it's one thing to have an advertisement for your work in your sig. That's a normal, expected part of conversations. It's quite another to just dump an advertisement in a thread without even saying anything about the thread's content or response to another post. In other words, it's...

I take it your work isn't here? because I have only seen a couple of (currently) short stories.
