    New Series Submission

    I never got notified so maybe it just takes like five days. It doesn't matter. Posting it was a dumb idea. Well I sent a message on the "Contact Us" link so maybe the admins will do something. The cover has a light background. Maybe the AI thingy thinks the background is too much skin...

    New Series Submission

    My book is called Our Infinite Sadness. I can't find it so I guess you guys are right they must have rejected it. I posted one chapter. No sex, no violence, no swears, no nothing. The cover is just the face of a girl wearing a dress right up to her neck. Like stuff gets rejected and they...

    New Series Submission

    Thanks! Yes when I look in my profile in Series tab, it is there. But I can't find it by searching for it. Not by title, not by tags, not by fandom, not by genre, nothing." Not much point to posting books here if no one can find them. :(

    New Series Submission

    Posted a new series on Sunday morning, so it's going on four days later. Still not appearing. Is this normal? Is there any kind of notification? A message to tell you it's up? Or if something's wrong, do they tell you? If four-plus days for appearing on search is normal, that's fine. Just...

    What makes a book good in your opinion?

    Great books are the ones I need to read again. The ones in which every word leads to a great ending that leaves me knowing more about the world and my place in it.

    What are some forms of media you felt really told a story better than a book could?

    All the oldest stories were poems (songs). With meter and sometimes rhyme. To aid memory. I still write metered epic length poems for fun. It's a lost art.

    Besides writing, what's the best way to improve as a writer?

    LOL. Zero's hard to avoid. That pesky little dot smack in the middle of every graph. Except Argenne graphs. with that little 'i' attached. Maybe the whole universe is imaginary.

    Besides writing, what's the best way to improve as a writer?

    For every word you post, write a thousand. For every word you write, read a thousand.

    Is it even Possible for AI assistants like ChatGPT to generate entire long Novels?

    We use Chat GPT Pro and Gemini at work. We also use Azure hosted AI. Mostly for code generation. We pay top dollar for premium versions, and we have trained prompt engineers on staff. Despite all of that, AI generated is like so easy to pick out in a lineup. Because the output is garbage...

    AI assisted, a vague term on purpose.

    Hi Blingbee. I'll answer your question but I'm new here and don't know anyone so sorry if I offend. How are human editors and proofreaders different from AI? This question goes straight to what I said way up above, "Use as much or as little AI as you're comfortable with." What I mean by...

    What will you do if an alien invasion really happens?

    Aliens would be indifferent to us. They'd put the ants to work.

    AI assisted, a vague term on purpose.

    I don't use AI for writing. I don't use grammar checkers. I don't even trust MS Word spellcheck; too many false flags. (Though I do use the spellchecker as a first pass.) But I'm not against others using AI or grammar checkers. As little or as much as you're comfortable with.
