    Revenge Regression Stories make no sense

    Genuine question. Does this count as wish fulfillment/power fantasy? Because if it does, it's all kinds psychologically fucked up.

    First chapter AI check for shoots and giggles.

    Yeah, it's a case of the left arm not knowing what the right arm is doing with these things. I can run my story through one version of Gemini, and it comes back all AI, but another model of Gemini will come back with it written as human. I know what I wrote and how I wrote it, so it really...

    First chapter AI check for shoots and giggles.

    :blob_popcorn: Okay, you've provided a substantial excerpt of text, likely from a fantasy novel or story set in an empire inspired by historical China (given names like Zhou Xiaoming, Minister Xin, Tiansheng, Great Xi'an, and elements like an Imperial Academy, civil service, martial arts...

    First chapter AI check for shoots and giggles.

    It's wild, I can use a different version of Gem and get completely different results. They're all over the place... AI doesn't even know what is and isn't AI. I can run your story through, but only if you give the thumbs up. Not like a bot probably hasn't done it, but nobody said politeness was...

    Novel end up with suicide. To post or not to post.

    Why not leave the ending ambiguous? You don't need to show the act itself, let it happen offscreen with just enough uncertainty that it could go either way. Cut to black and let the reader decide. That said, if it's more snuffy than thought-provoking, maybe it's something that wouldn't fit...

    When the Views Don’t Come, and You Just Want to Quit

    I don't know how much I can't stress this enough, but if any new authors see it, Do not release all of your story, all at once! It's so exciting when you first upload something, like a rush, like hitting your number at roulette. Yet, time and time again, I see new authors put out 4, 6, even...

    Recommendations Comedy or slice of life recs plz.

    Sadly, while I've got two or three stories that have lots of fluffy, romantic comedy, they also have plenty of violence, murder, and graphic scenes. Lighthearted, for the most part, but definitely on the gory side at times. Either way; I've got a school teacher who turns into a demon...

    Tell Us About Some Funny Moments You’ve Had with Reader Rage

    Yeah, I could see how that could spark some good ol' fashioned 'lynch mob' mentality. I'm with them, do crimes in the name of storybook justice!

    A question for the scholars, I'm sure. But at what point are all the scholars robots as well? The future is now, old man!

    First chapter AI check for shoots and giggles.

    Its not looking good... You must also be a robot Still better than what I got tho, lol! I'm starting to think Gemini might just be messing with me. All part of its master plan. If it says everything is AI then AI can claim whatever it wants. It's learning...

    First chapter AI check for shoots and giggles.

    I've seen so many people post stories asking for reviews on here since I started looking at the Forums, and so many times people say AI is involved. So, I said screw it! Let's see how my own writing does if I run it through Google Gemini and ask if it's written by an AI. Every Damned Story...

    Tell Us About Some Funny Moments You’ve Had with Reader Rage

    100% was one that hurt the soul lol Some people feel real strongly about the genre, but I guess just don't read or trust the authors, who knows :ROFLMAO:

    Tell Us About Some Funny Moments You’ve Had with Reader Rage

    This one is my personal fav. Me: posts a comment at the beginning of the story "this is not a harem." Proceeds to omit the tag for that reason Readers: God, I can't wait until he gets his harem! Me: adds another post that there is no and will never be a harem. Reader xyz: I see people...

    Why use AI to write your "book"?

    Ah yes! The claw hand. I haven't seen that miserable creature in years! (thank god) :ROFLMAO:

    Why use AI to write your "book"?

    It's a very weird spot for sure. Like, if I see AI 'art' I find myself already dissociating it from artwork, and more looking at it like a photograph, if that makes sense? When I've played with AI, I don't consider what I'm making with it 'art' Granted, I don't use AI to write any more than...

    Overstimation or just sheer dumbness?

    Having written a few things where my own stuff picks up a few chapters into the story, I've sort of come to realize that looking at my work and noticing the start is slow and sloggy usually means I have a rewrite on my hands. I'm not great at putting my best foot forward before momentum picks...

    Check out My Story- The Ascendants: Early Years

    Yuppers, learned that the hard way 'rawdogging' the process of uploading stuff lol. I never went to the forums, just started uploading. You just reach a far broader scope of the reading base that way, because people very often seem to 'search' by what's been updated on any particular day. (my...

    Check out My Story- The Ascendants: Early Years

    There's like, two spots in the prologue that sort of have a small look of what I expect from AI, but it's not at all large chunks... And overall, I really don't think it was pushed through something like chatgbt... And yeah, EM dashes set those things off since some models seem to like putting...

    Humor Writing the trench warfare of writing.

    Exactly. But comedy comes in all flavors for all people. Some people like the dry stuff, others like it dark and shocking. Trying to write something that everyone will like and appreciate is an effort in futility :ROFLMAO:

    Humor Writing the trench warfare of writing.

    I've always found that distracting too much from the conversation itself can kill any humor there is. Most times, when I've given a little snort while reading something in a book, I don't even realize I'm reading because I'm just lost in two people having a conversation that turns out abruptly...
