Jack gets hired as a detective, watches a demon get summoned before turning over his childhood sweetheart back to her husband, investigates a murder and ends up at the restaurant owned the childhood sweetheart's family, where he recognizes a brutally murdered woman as her sister.

The only story I could really come up with something like this for would be "Strange Awakening." If it were a movie or audio novel, I'd kind of like a cover of "Dancing with Myself" by Billy Idol, only sung, ironically, as a duet, ideally with the two "voices" for Kelly singing it. Tempted to...

I did on one novel when I posted it here, but the dedication has been removed in the version at Pocket FM. I may add it back ini as an author's note.

The only things I try to avoid are the use of the word "trope" because it was way overused for a year or so, and anything that just does not fit a specific character.

Eh, just steal their readers. They like having things taken from them while they watch, right?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor - I forgot the custard. Fortunately, that's a specialty of this place, so why don't you join us?" She huffed at this. "That was SO four regenerations ago..." and flounced out. I felt a little guilty for admiring the view, as our relationship went back a few decades and...

Are you looking for just a title credits theme song, or an entire soundtrack? And which story?

Commenting so it's easier to find when I have time to actually pay attention to it.

Visantii may be dangerously close to Vishanti, one of the major magical sources in the Marvel Universe. That said, not a big fan of visual "tricks" in prose writing, but it can work on webnovels and SOMETIMES even works in print. If you've got beta readers, get their input on it with and...

Both.

One little caveat - minor but significant. If you post your story to other sites, you will need to prove it is yours before you can take it live here (which is USUALLY easy to do; one or two days more than usual novel approval) or on Royal Road (often requires much hair-pulling and 2-5 days of...

AI is Soylent Green!

Oh THAT kind of sentence. Here I was thinking you were facing fifteen-twenty for something and I'd have to track down the Roll-o-Dex...

He just considers it very disrespectful, and respect is important to him.

Unless the action David took against the strigoi in Between Worlds counts as an attack (it was meant as healing but took out a bunch of undead in an effort to keep one person from turning), it was probably in one of the fights on my story on HoneyFeed - Kaiju battles tend to lend themselves to...

It's tricky. Trying to seriously play down the racism (and jingoism) that was a part of the Wild West while not embracing it outright has been a major challenge at times in "Digital Cowboy Dane" - interestingly enough, one of the major VILLAINS was offended when one of his underlings STARTED to...

Bread? Carbs! Yum! Crunch...

Well, if AI is being used as a READER it sees "Doctor X" "Dr. X" and "DrX" as distinct things. The first one is a name. THe second is the end of one sentence and the start of the next (with a pause between them.. which gets kind of funny after a while). The last one ... will confuse it...

The problem isn't USING these patterns, its OVER-using. Used reasonably, you'll only see them if you look for them. AI does not understand "reasonable" - I've actually found it useful for padding word count because it sometimes points out stuff I either forgot to write or hadn't thought of and...
