    How's everyone?

    I'm on a roll despite being up against the grain.

    What makes a work of fiction worthy of being called art?

    If it genuinely makes me feel strong emotions beyond just "entertained". If I read something and think "hey, that was fun" then it was good, sure. But if I'm genuinely moved- getting philosophical, cry, thinking about meaning of things, theorizing, passionately wanting to share: art.

    Why are writers fighting the future AI?

    I think I see what you mean, and I think it's an important distinction that I need to think more about. For now, I think I sit at, If you fully disclaim that you used AI to produce a story, and don't call yourself a writer, I don't necessarily have an issue per se (though you wouldn't be in...

    Why are writers fighting the future AI?

    A repost from a different thread I engaged in: My story includes political elements, and has supplemental content including fictional legislation that I thought of and made, but used AI to format to make look like real bills. And occasionally when writing about subjects I don't understand-...

    Do you use AI to help you? Asking humbly to anyone out there. I'm seeking an answer.

    My story includes political elements, and has supplemental content including fictional legislation that I thought of and made, but used AI to format to make look like real bills. And occasionally when writing about subjects I don't understand- firearms, for example- I'd do a combination of AI...

    Appetite for contemporary fiction?

    Gotcha. I think they're here. And at minimum they lass by. The fact that I've even had close to a half dozen people read through mine, one positive comment, and a like in less than a month when I do some genuinely controversial things- dream sequence opening, lack of explosions and dopamine in...

    Appetite for contemporary fiction?

    In my experience contemporary means different things to different people. The story I'm posting here is technically contemporary, I think. Takes place in 2031, has slice of life, comedy, satire, and supernatural elements. I'm very much writing what I want to write, not something optimized for...

    Anyone has tips on fantasy eco?

    Have you considered referencing the d&d Dungeon Master's Guide and/or Player's Handbook for inspiration, then maybe scaling up or down and tweaking the currency itself to fit your vision and setting?

    What's the use of Latest Chapter Discussion for you?

    Makes sense... That sounds really depressing to watch happen and live through. Sorry to hear. But I think it's really cool people have stuck with it despite that. Perhaps a renaissance may be in the wings some day 🤞

    What's the use of Latest Chapter Discussion for you?

    When was this BeforeTimes? Anything in particular seem to contribute to the change? :unsure:

    How was your first writing experience?

    For me it was something like shock and euphoria. I've wanted to write something since I was in middle school (turning 31 this year). My older brother has always been my hero and he poured countless hours into a dark urban fantasy he was writing called "The Demon Song". It was a big thing for...
