    Readers, do you ever regret giving a story the review you gave it?

    Regretting what you've done is for criminals. If the text is in the process of being written, then the opinion about it may change. Or views may change with opinions. But why regret it?

    Help needed!!!

    Oh, I remembered another interesting detail about how neural networks work. I often use them for error correction. But instead of correcting them, they rewrite the text in their own way, even if I tell them “don't paraphrase the text”. And the smaller the text the more they rework it. It's...

    Small details you hate to see in stories

    The little details may be many, but if I get an emotional experience I won't care. But it's starting to get annoying when every new story in the top is a hero loli demon or demon theme. Maybe it's getting to the point where it's already outgrown my detail.

    Help needed!!!

    I did not recommend delving into only learning English or using DeepL and Google translators. Even regular translators are not able to translate correctly what is actually written. And the human factor is also a problem. You need a comprehensive approach. Pay more attention to the elaboration...

    Emotional damage!

    Yeah, I cried for five minutes when I woke up from that. I won't tell you why.

    What are some aspects of your story you aren't happy about?

    It's usually a line between what I'm happy with and what I need. So you need either a voice from the outside or more than one way of doing things. And it is not always possible to put a good idea into a text, agreeing on all the existing details. Every time I rewrite a story, I regret the extra...

    How come...

    It's all about laziness. You can consider yourself inferior looking at the productivity of the author. The cab driver is too lazy to answer and listen. And a cat is still a cat. He who knows life is in no hurry.

    Writing Need some advice on [Indifference to Empathy]

    I have many counter-examples. Empathy alone can make a person indifferent, if only because no one knows they feel the same way. Through hatred and denial, this ability becomes a cynical tool. The way back is to find someone who can understand it all. The monster itself may also have some...

    Gosh darn “I travel into a novel” gripes

    I think there's a logic to the fact that these types of trapped people have perfect memories. Back in my dandy days, I could easily remember all the secrets on a muscle memory level. And now I literally dream about some of the projects I'm working on. So it's first and foremost its own world...

    AI for your characters?

    AI graphics are a tool, after all. If you blindly order it to do a task and your creativity is limited only to changing the seed, it is not a good option. If only because on the next illustration your hero will be completely different. You should try to work out the details you need a little bit...

    AI Summaries

    Usually large chapters are divided into parts. I've settled on a size of 2500 words. I can't even do more than that - it would be a new segment anyway. So even Gemma 2 in Google AI Studio is enough for me.

    A question for sci-fi readers/writers

    This may sound strange and out of place. But some dead ends are solved by changing the narrative sequence and working out the environment or exploring it. It's not necessarily up to anyone to decide anything. It's just that a wall fell down and he had to go around the country to get his coffee...

    Writing Writer's block

    If you're motivated by the intrigue of the unknown of your own work and the desire to see what comes of it. Very quickly the desire to write goes away. You get new ideas and you get fired up, but not for long either. A short, unfinished story may become part of another piece of work. But while...

    Does anyone know of a good research resource for fairy lore?

    I just asked Copilot what you were looking for and immediately got a list of seven creatures Additionally, he named five more considering them suitable. Perhaps you could ask other questions and get better results on them. Eventually ask them to come up with something like "Glendwaver".

    Blood!!!

    I think the main problem arises when the blood cells themselves and their alternative are not the means of nourishment. Then you have to find a way to fill it with the right substances. To infuse artificial blood into human beings, in order to avoid death from its loss, and to force them to eat...

    I hate AI art but . . .

    I can draw with a pencil or draw a finished picture in color in a day to a week. But to draw like that, it would probably take me at least a month. With AI, it took me a week. I can't even imagine how much it would take me to work out details of such complexity if I were to draw it from...

    As a reader, how important is an author following a schedule?

    Depends on your interest. There are works from which you expect a continuation and for the sake of it you come every day checking for updates. But you don't always have time or mood for that. Some stories are endless and the thirst to know the continuation subsides, switching attention to...

    How do y'all fall about the death of the author theory?

    It's a very broad topic of discussion. And I think it's not just about writing stories, but about relationships between people in general. The writer has the advantage of being able to correct the text so that it reflects his idea more. Or try to continue it to change a person's wrong view. In...
