    Introduction 3D Basic Modeling in My Way

    Wow. I'm gonna have to read your entire post two or three time to really understand. I understood some if it based on my research last week, but this is most certainly the most I've learned about 3D Modeling, period. I guess the part that's not clicking for me at all yet is with something like...

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

    Sounds well thought out. I assume that there's reasonable incentive for him not to "hack" the curse, because there definitely seems to be enough ways to temporarily incapacitate himself. Not sure what your jumping into a volcano, or heat death of the universe explanation is, but seems reasonable...

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

    The tricky part seems to be that someone needs to be the one to destroy them, and understand what they're doing. Otherwise, the artifacts would naturally come together from the physics of the universe, even if it took eons. I assume the gods exist outside the universe itself? If he can't die no...

    Do you ever ‘cast’ your characters?

    I can see the appeal, but to me it's both a pipe dream, and a bit parasocial. As a general rule, I just avoid parasocial behavior as much as I can, since it directly results in a lot of the issues we have in society. More practically, I just think it doesn't really make sense, because unless...

    What makes a work of fiction worthy of being called art?

    I think art just equals intent+effort. If both are acknowledged honestly, that determines if it's art. The flipside is delusion, and that applies to the creator and the eye of the beholder. If it isn't art, then it's debate, and debate is an art, so at the very least you're never far from some...

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

    They'll either die in a billion years, they'll be dead on the inside, or yeah, they're just immortal. Technically, their life can still end so long as you're alive. 😭 When I write immortal characters, it doesn't mean they can't get killed or desensitized to the point of it emulating death...

    What do YOU like to see in a story?

    I like to see a true effort to be unique. Every ideas has been done, yes, but nothing makes me skip on a novel quicker than when it's simply trying to appeal to the algorithm. A book that's about Alpha werewolves, "but my Alpha werewolves are like super strong," is a big no from me. Odds are...

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

    "Everybody dies sometimes..." Really though, it sucks because you literally give these characters life and you're basically a cruel god by deciding when they die. Just make sure if people believe in The Hand of God in your universe, that they at least placate each other with "The Author works...

    Adding some information on the 404 pages

    I think this should be the bare minimum. I don't know how difficult of a fix it is, but most platforms give at least a categorical reason for removal. 404 has universally been interpreted on the internet as an error, not a result of moderation. I still haven't seen blatant confirmation that it...

    Introduction 3D Basic Modeling in My Way

    I mean this entirely respectfully, and with sincere curiosity: Doesn't A.I make this obsolete? Like a table is a table right? I swear I've seen A.I tools that can turn a 2D image into a 3D one, and it wouldn't surprise me if you could just scan a real object into a 3D environment. Didn't real...

    Vampire Vampire Hunter

    I'm not gonna lie, this is a long laundry list for "simple." Writing good action with good pacing is a challenge. Making it fun is it's own challenge. Vampires can be considered simple since it's such a popular trope, but oftentimes it comes with a healthy dose of lore, especially if it's going...

    I got a 404 error on my fanfic. I indicated that it was my work and that I was translating it from my native language. I'd been publishing this fanfic

    I don't write fan fic, I have never translated anything, and I've never put a Patreon link in a chapter. I've also only been writing online for about 52 days, so I'm assuming this rapture event preceded my arrival here. I'll just assume that it's common knowledge that 404 means it was removed...

    I got a 404 error on my fanfic. I indicated that it was my work and that I was translating it from my native language. I'd been publishing this fanfic

    I have read the rules, and before I send this response, I'll read them again, just to be certain. I just read the rules again. There's nothing explicitly relevant to what I said. Perhaps you replied to the wrong person? Or perhaps you thought I was asking why there aren't rules, when I was...

    Drive-by and low-effort comments

    I've never seen this happen, but I'm not sure what the big deal is. I mean that literally. Can you not like hide unhelpful comments or something? Seems like something that could get out of control, but if it's just one or two every once in a while, it's not any worse than all the other bot...

    Recommendations Stories where most of the casts matter

    My story Emotica is an ensemble of 5. All five of them are equally important, and I try to keep the amount of here-and-gone characters to an absolute minimum. It's such a waste when a character doesn't matter. If you like fantasy-adventure then maybe you'd like Emotica.

    Feedback for my novel "Hyoren Enjo Journey on Another World". And how should i proceed with chapter length.

    Oh boy, I think making any changes based on numbers is the riskiest thing there is. If everyone followed the norms, we'd have very little diversity in media. Especially when the norms prioritize the actual author and their work last. I'd say if you didn't split your chapters before, there was...

    Good job. What a quick turnaround. I'm impressed.

    What’s the greatest compliment you have received from a reader?

    Honestly, just taking the time to leave a comment, a review, or anything is a great compliment. Like, you literally gave me your time. I cry every time 🥲

    I got a 404 error on my fanfic. I indicated that it was my work and that I was translating it from my native language. I'd been publishing this fanfic

    So 404 means SH removed your work? I have 2 404'd works and they didn't break any rules I'm aware of. Why would there not be a notification at the very least?

    Why are writers fighting the future AI?

    I always say "do you want to be right, or do you want to survive?" Sometimes those things aren't incompatible. You'll never win the fight against A.I, even if you go kicking and screaming to your own funeral, so it just doesn't make sense to die on that hill. What's left is figuring out how to...
