    As a reader, which of the following are your most tolerant and least tolerant: story content, storytelling, and language?

    Not any one type, but just a lot of them. They all add in to make the experience progressively less enjoyable.

    I need social experiments

    There was a made-for-TV movie called, IIRC, The Wave that we read as a play in ninth grade English class (I think - may be off by a year or two) that had a pretty disturbing experiment involving, essentially, creating a cult based around a symbol (the eponymous wave) rather than a religion. And...

    Question blind protagonist

    Know I read one a few years ago but the only one I can think of offhand is the stage play "Dial M For Murder." The blind woman protagonist in that seemed fairly well handled. At least from what an almost 40 year old memory of it tells me. Much more realistic than the other blind protagonists...

    When killing off an important character, friend, brother or someone important to The MC. How do you feel about it?

    Unless they decide he's already been punished enough, the gods would intervene in the "jump into a volcano" thing and pull him out - his charred skeleton would then begin the years long process of mending itself, painfully. In a multiverse where magic exists, entropy may not be an absolute.

    Apparently, I made it there once. Had already fallen to the second page by the time I found out, and was off the list never, to my knowledge, to return 24 hours later... No clue how it happened, nor why I was never able to repeat.

    From Cheerleader To Werewolf Queen!

    Introduction 3D Basic Modeling in My Way

    Unless you understand enough of the basics to make a completely granular prompt with little room for interpretation, AI will do wonky things with positioning, direction, reflections (it has a real hard time with stairs and mirrors). This is not obsolete at all = possibly even more important...

    What do YOU like to see in a story?

    Words that make sense, don't have too many glaring grammar issues to drag me out of the story, a plot, and narrative consistency - if the narrator's "voice" changes, there should be a reason for it (beyond "eh, it was too short so I padded it with AI").

    Writing What do you think about yandere villainess as an antagonist to the protagonist?

    Sounds kind of like a more serious take on Project A-Ko - where the MC is really just a bit of a McGuffin (Seiko, often called C-Ko) that both Eiko (A-Ko) and B-Ko (who's father is a corporate raider and Elvis impersonator...) want to win the affection of (since they're school girls this is...

    Adding some information on the 404 pages

    Heh. It was supposed to be a parody of "My 409" by The Beach Boys, but the song gets so bland and repetitive I just kind of conked out a verse and a half in.

    Lost contact with the people I knew who could help you.

    Why are writers fighting the future AI?

    I kind of shared that view until I talked to a guy who was cut from the team at Microsoft trying to develop usable, consumer grade AI when ChatGPT beat them to market. Creating the right prompt IS an art form, and he is now doing what he always wanted to do - making movies with his computer...

    Why are writers fighting the future AI?

    I suspect a lot of what we'll see in the future is what I suspect is happening with at least one story on PocketFM - the author writes a 500 word chapter, then has AI pad it out to 2000 words, often without editing.

    Writing Outlining: How Do?

    With more detail than mine: Character(s) exist(s) [list of initial characters, occasionally updated] There is an overall plot. Stuff happens. Hint at overall plot. Lose outline, start over. Wait, why bother, just chuck the outline and wing it. Why did I write that down? Or that?
