Why bother...? They'll just make a new account and try again. Just report them. By the time you "advertise" them here, they're gone and taken a new form - like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" or something.

If you honestly read each of these passages, and I mean really read them, digest them, even picture the words in your head, or the scene being portrayed (except for the science of course), you can choose the human writing every time. AI is going to seem "mechanical" and "direct", with no real...

I'm lost on the whole "throwing it back". Are we fighting or fishing...?

Editor, former literary agent, and book publisher. *^^* We stopped publishing books after COVID however, as we were afraid of having manuscripts delivered to us. But, sure, please get in touch when you need me. I can't necessarily volunteer something too extensive however, I think @Eldoria may...

Honestly, I've been a little swamped with paid commissions and my job, I haven't really kept much up to date with my work here. I DO have a fantasy isekai/RPG novel I'm trying to get off the ground. I can let you know when it comes out? And thanks for the compliment. :love:

Define "somewhat". 😁

Coming to theaters this Spring. "Guillermo Del Toro's Garfield."

Since we're on the subject, this is what I'm reading lately. I really love it; all the humor of the great Douglas Adams, and the visceral horror and fantasy of Neil Gaiman. It's wonderful! It should be a Top Trending here, I don't know why it's not. :love: All respect to @goldenphonix...

Oh. Right. Okay. I do love the underwater world, but more for things that I really cannot talk about in public, and in a SFW environment. 😁 My writing reflects that though;I do consider myself an aquaphile.

If it's the Underwater Forum I'm way ahead of you. *^^* I have been a user there since about 2000.

What would you charge then? Per word? Per page? etc.

Well, it depends on your ultimate niche, what you love to write and for which audience, and then you join a forum that is focused primarily on that. In my case, all of my story commissions over the past 20 years have come from "furry" sites, such as Furaffinity and SoFurry, and I actually...

Finally, one paid commission done and two more to go. I'm actually about halfway finished with the 2500 word one, but I'm staring at a 7,500-word commission that's just not gelling with me plot-wise, so I might dismantle and rebuild. I really WANT to get back to my personal work again, but...

"May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face.. May the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand." Always a favorite. :love:

I could see the great Dorothy Parker writing that one.

Two grant proposals. Hey, I'm counting them as wins. The deadline's Friday. ?

I have zero interest in love stories. I'm more willing to look at stories where women can have a lot of fun with no romantic strings to get tangled into. I'm a cynic when it comes to true love anyway. Give me a story like "Lady Chatterly's Lovers" or something any day. ?

Always. The kids just don't want to accept that. ?

The elders need to stick together so the kids don't come and start gnawing on our bones.

My least favorite now is "amplitude" because I must have heard it about 100 times today watching the Winter Olympics freestyle skiing finals. I'm serious, if someone had suggested you take a drink every time the sportscaster said "amplitude", they would be wheeling your sodden, stinking corpse...
