Depends on how new the immortal is:
Very new immortals can’t break the habit yet because their minds haven’t adjusted to being immortal. If they get in a situation where they can’t breathe, they might panic for no reason, because they still unconsciously assume they have to breathe. A very new...
Now that I think about it, my series are set in an alternate version of 2012, That’s historical fiction for sure, I mean… it’s before the global pandemic, President Trump, NFTs, and ChatGPT, so it’s very ancient history. Off to add “historical” tag!
When All's Said and Done by Shintaro Kago*
* only kidding, do not ever read this. I am warning you not to read it, I do not endorse it. You will be sorry. Do not read. Ever. NSFW. Disturbing. Horrifying. Go back.
This does sound like it might be an excuse from someone who just didn’t like it or thought it was too slow-paced or dry for their tastes. However, I guess there is a real opposite of the criticism, “this reads like someone had a lot of fun writing it.”
I associate that with writing that feels...
So many different reasons and each believes it is the true Gender Bender.
Gender Bender Type #1: “I don’t want to look at a guy’s butt.” The most basic, also sometimes an excuse for the other types. Similar to the “playing a female video game avatar,” except the equivalent of that would just...
It's all just derived from the notes of higher-dimensional versions of Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, whose feverish Wisconsinite mental patterns spread inexorably through all realities in the LitRPG quadrant of the hyperverse. Gygax, master of traps, represents the system's desire to structure...
Nope, that only works with “instruct model” AIs like ChatGPT.
The model I use (NovelAI) requires the human user to write some text, then the AI continues what was written, like finishing a sentence or writing the next sentence. I find the easiest way to write with it is to write a few...
When I was just drafting my main series, it was before I was posting anything, not editing anything and only working on one series… that averaged 50k words a wek, but the AI wrote about 50% of the words and made my own writing much faster. Basically never got stuck, “pantsed” it all the way. I...
Ok I submitted a feature request, if you like stats and counting which tags are popular, feel free to vote!
https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/weekly-referrer-stats.13720/
It's great for authors to see the referrer stats, especially since tags are often human-readable in the Scribble Hub referrer URL.
However, I've noticed there's a lot of variance day-to-day in the referrer traffic.
It would be great to have a "weekly" referrer tab or something like that, which...
That reminds me, I've been meaning to ask for "weekly referrer stats" as a feature request, which would make this kind of chart incredibly quick to produce.
I am in jealous awe. I have #2 in Priest right now but I never get any Priest traffic.
I like to do this data analysis every once in a while for fun, although it doesn't change that much on the top end: Gender Bender, Smut, trans tags, GL in that order. Below that, the remaining 20-25% of tags...
All the usual stuff with skeleton at the bottom as the weakest undead has already been covered, so I'll suggest an alternate method.
Living things are on an evolutionary tree that goes from less complex forms of life with less differentiation to more complex and varied forms of life that can do...
The sad thing is it's probably my own rushed writing, since it's only partly written by AI and my own sentence structure is more convoluted than the AI! The early chapters of the first story below are particularly unedited, since I started doing a further pass on grammar and editing when I got...
Teachers have this kind of protection of their job, since those are long-term jobs that people stay at. Writers don't get this. They are hired on a project/contract basis one season or one movie at a time, like Tyranomaster said. They don't get any "can't be fired" protections.... from look at...
The real reason that Hollywood won’t pay more is two things, and neither of them is “Hollywood studios are losing money.” They’re making tons of money and are very profitable if you look at financial reports and quarterly earnings. However, there are two problems:
First, they’re in debt because...
I’ve never heard of anything like “tenure” in any writers’ contract. Creative contracts for people like actors, writers, directors, etc don’t work like workplace union contracts, I don’t believe there’s anything in them about having to rehire the same people, or that writers are guaranteed...
I feel like Grievewriter, except I also realized that the only thing I find interesting about this scenario is if the wife returns, pretends to be the assassin, and both the reader and the MC are horny-confused-shocked-revealed all at once in a "wait, who am I having sex with? my wife? an...
