Because "MicroRoft" doesn't roll off the tongue. Or rather it does, then bounces on the floor, flops around like a dead fish, and then expires.

Nah, Valentine's Day is "I hope at least one of us is horny" day.

I've only seen two versions of editing software that recognized that - and one was an older version of MS Word, when the next one failed to recognize it.

Eh, wake me up when it's international, intergalactic, or interdimensional horny day (unless it refers solely to beings WITH horns, then just let me sleep in).

Yep. The only people who ever used it were supervillains in the Champions role playing game, as far as I can tell... :biggrin_s:

No problem - might also be worth poking around at https://writerbeware.blog/ Always good advice.

Just write the whole thing in Esperanto...

Sadly, not an option (though, given the headaches my wife's doll club recently had with them, I can understand it not being an option)

How many chapters long is your story? Is it near completion? On their standard website, they only have AI readers for "regular" authors. This does sound like what they approach established authors with (the only full cast or even multi-voice audio I've heard from them is Solo Leveling, though...

Don't remember which one I posted first or which one second. One of my first two (Strange Awakening) went very well (even spent part of a day on Trending), the other pretty mediocre.

Time for the Dollar Tree Pokeball... No need for a full powered one, let alone one of the specials...

95% a scam - they only usually approach authors who either: 1) Enter a contest on their site and hit certain benchmarks in word count and listener retention or 2) Have a well-established book out there (My Vampire System, Solo Leveling). There is a small chance that this is legit, that someone...

Forbidden knowledge. Characters going to places they shouldn't and discovering things they would not have otherwise known. Characters initially resisting their instincts, then giving in to them. Yeah, kind of similar.... especially if you ask Rosemary about her baby...

Not sure where it goes to now - used to go to a used book store chain, but they went out of business during or just before COVID and the state took over.

Or for those who DATED them... well, a Black Rose Society member, at least (they were one of the primary references used for the Fifty Shades books)...

As long as you don't show it happening, just imply or even flat-out state that it did (this is one time "Tell Don't Show" is a good idea), you should be fine. Game of Thrones gave a decent template to follow for this. Then again, the Howard Families of Heinlein's Future History stories were...

Had a girlfriend who was into that stuff, found out I could write, and coerced me into writing it, with feedback on what worked and what didn't. Also read a few chapters in some of the "Steamy Harlequin Romance" novels my wife had laying around before we shipped a lot of books off to the...

Yep - went through that when posting "Diamond in the Rough" to Royal Road, and then when posting "True Blue" here (getting the story on RR took more steps but less time, oddly enough - to repost to RR took a full page form filled out twice over three days; I just had to send three emails but...

So you're saying who wrote a completely original story using someone else's characters and/or location(s)? Unless you have the original author's permission in writing, or the characters are in the public domain (c.f. The Flashman Papers - started in the late 1970s, the author used characters...

That I need either to find a way to never sleep or to add five to six more hours to a day (that aren't spent working or surfing the net) to keep up with it.
