Ba'al was a god first, starting 3000-5000 years ago. Then when monotheism got big in that area, the "you can only have one god" religions (Judaism, later Christianity, etc) started calling Ba'al and other gods false gods. Then eventually they became known as demons. Happened to a number of...

It is not fun. However... some years ago I had a friend who committed suicide by hanging herself. I spoke at her funeral. For many months after that I had nightmares that she was sitting at the foot of my bed with a broken neck. I eventually started watching videos of people committing suicide...

This is why GPT-based AI isn’t good for fiction writing. It has too many baked in instructions and format that have to be worked around, and it’s uncensored. But there are more and more uncensored AI models that are unfiltered and flexible; people just assume ChatGPT is all there is. The series...

The AI cowrites the first draft — basically I write a sentence, it writes a sentence (or we finish each other’s sentence, or it writes a paragraph and I change it or cut off the last half, etc. (This is possible because I use a different system than ChatGPT.) Then I edit the whole thing. So it...

MC1: anxiety, out of touch with her feelings, repressing trauma, unused to taking decisive action, impostor syndrome Side-Character1A: always in her head, know-it-all, lack of confidence in (most) others, denial SC1B: impulsive ditz, blabbermouth SC1C: conflicted about everything, sees both...

I deliberately went with an alternate universe that diverges pretty recently -- around 2010. That way it's not VERY different, but I can ignore a lot of recent stuff that I'd rather only reference indirectly, or have alternate versions of.

I hate it when GPT insists on doing the last sentence like that, in a weird summary. For comparison, here is an unfiltered AI's version of something similar, using the GPT one as a baseline. "Once upon a time, a thief and a merchant faced a harsh legacy from their ancestors, who were executed...

Hit trending at #5 ? Not sure if this would ever happen for a AI-generated story with some themes that make people uncomfortable. It's weird, lots of new readers adding the story but not reading it, to save for later -- I guess that makes sense but gives me anxiety like "are you going to like...

They haven't been able to sell it for lot, as far as I've heard. The one that got a lot of attention was... not very good. There are GPT + Midjourney + Photoshop illustrated books up on Amazon but they're all "bottom feeders," like spam. Getting bad reviews. I already admit this part openly...

Regression and then I fall on my head as a baby and have amnesia

The third one is obviously the best. But other than "focus of action / thought / dialogue switches to a different character," which I can automatically remember to break into a new paragraph, I usually write in paragraphs that are big but not massive (option 2) then split them up carefully...

Easy route: it resembles a prison Medium route: it resembles an island of caves guarded by rock golems Hard route: it resembles an amusement park

Stand out from the crowd! Do the mind flayer thing and get weird with it, but resist the typical edgy/wholesome stuff (“i mind controlled all these secondary characters into being my harem”) Since it’s a reincarnate why not do “I reincarnated as a mind flayer but I think the other mind flayers...

Yeah, other than “filthy one-shots” collections which are just one smutty story after another. Smut every chapter in the same story is just too exhausting. Exhausting for the writer and the reader. And the characters. The closest you can get is smut, then ecchi to take a breather, do some...

Rather play and lose this way than just go along with it and give in to the silly “kill someone or die” choices.

My first reaction in this situation is that it’s absolutely a trick of some kind and I can’t trust anything this “anarchist freak” says, so why would I cooperate in any way? You’re not getting what you want, anarchist freak. Too bad for you, give up — unless you just wanted to torture people all...

Do the characters think of themselves as male? Then they’re boys. Do you think of the characters as male? (From what you said, you’re not sure even that even applies so the answer is probably no.)

guy who dies of heatstroke in his broken-down van while trying to cook meth using stuff from a garden store

She's a pastor in a Catholic Church parish, although technically on forced sabbatical due to demonic possession. MCs of other series: private investigator, art school student (scholarship), exotic dancer
