Well, unlike Royal Road where the moderation can be streamlined (which I don't really know), this site is kind of ran by just one person with a handful of moderators managing the forum (from what I know) But yeah, you can do Tony a huge service by reporting the bot.

I still remember that names for an AI to use is Alaric for male and... I don't remember for the female one, though this was strictly fantasy ish. And I saw that when I asked some examples in ChatGPT a few years back

Ah, looks like you and I had a different views on fanfiction. To me, a fanfiction is just a piece of writing made by a fan. Nothing more, nothing less. But if you made someone like Anne Rice go as far as taking that kind of legal action, I suspect she has something that any fan don't want to...

Generally, no. Unless I had a mandate that I post it in this site to pick up where my story left from, no chance I'll let anyone pick up my (hypothetical) story and continue it.

I heavily disagree. You SHOULD judge them. It's relatively equal to monetizing stories off of someone else's IP. I have no problem with authors putting more chapters behind paywall, I don't mind their stories are "stubbed" in favor for those Amazon Kindle contract, so long as it is something...

I don't. There's no such thing as stats and levels Refer to my first answer.

By the way, guys, it all began with me laying down an idea that's been stuck in my head to an LLM and see how it reacts. Oh boy, it's so addictive. It feels like LLM might be the new source of dopamine for writers. You can shit on me all you want ? but at the very least I'm becoming everyone...

I guess it's for both. It's genuinely a bad kind of time sink that once you engage a little further, you'll never realize how deep you go until you got hit with a warning that your limit on using a model has been reached and you're left with... nothing but waiting.

Something that took me a long time to realize it's incredibly unhealthy to constantly talking to an advanced chatbot. It ruined my writing cycle and oftentimes it will draw you into a worldbuilding rabbit hole or making yourself reading something that's actually not your style to write down...

I'm not sure what to follow with how the thread title is written

A bit more on the latter, but stay with me, because the usage of swords in fiction makes every battle cooler and more intense rather than using spears or halberds or even glaives. There's a clear reason why Hollywood kept showing medieval battles as something like a mass dueling field and not as...

on the Chinese stories, the usage of jian has its own philosophical purpose. I can't really articulate it better, but it's more of a symbol of mastery. If we're talking about the Western swords, on the other hand, it's just your local author keep using swords as the hero's weapon, on top of the...

two days for 5000+ words if I want to lock in. But it could take me weeks just to finish one frickin' chapter

generally, no. Unless you really want to maximize reader count and giving first impression in general, then you could do something like trim one scene for the next chapter before continuing from that scene onwards

who told you that it's unacceptable? Bring me his head ? Anyways, my advice is to be careful on switching point of view, otherwise it may break immersions. If you want to play safe, make one scene had a decisive finality before switching to the other POV

I prefer dungeon crawlers than tower climbers, but again, this dungeon crawler must have threats that constantly escalates after clearing one sector

worse, it's no longer accidentally deleted. My hard drive is bricked, and I lost all motivation on writing. Took me two years to get back up

regardless of whether you find writing multiple stories easier or harder, please don't do it. I did that and it's way harder to keep the track of my own plotting for those newer stories I happened to lay down in GDocs. My best advice is to focus on finishing at least one arc of your story...

Don't forget that soft sci-fi stories, games and anime giving incentives on mechs because of the energy shield presence and the incredibly sturdy armor plating that has nigh-impossible durability. Take it where the armor plating is made of Marvel's vibranium or the Tolkien's legacy exotic...

two words, technical headache. And I'm not just talking about control schematics, but also power generation and material science. Mechs are the ultimate engineering feat. You don't just think of "put legs on tanks". Unless those folks from DARPA can figure out on translating the whole weapon...
