    It is very difficult to write a sexy self-love or lesbian scene when depressed and unmotivated.

      I'm know it's probably really bad advice, but if I'm ever in a really bad mood, I look at cute cat videos and after a while I feel better. Change animals as needed if it helps.

    Well finally writing a novella version of Blake getting in a sleepover. 10 years later and so many things need modern references and touches

      Thank you, but no, no. I visited a relative who had surgery. Everything went well, so these long windowless corridors were the real scary part.

      As a tangent, the original picture that started the whole backrooms was just a small business being remodeled iirc

    advantages of a 2000-word chapter: it follows a linear section of your open-world story

    In a story's title, you get exactly 3 key words before it becomes too much. For individual chapters however, go wild. Same applies to anime.

      Manga and anime meanwhile take the opposite approach to you. IIRC, the idea is that "kids these days" won't be bothered to read a synopsis of a story, so you put the synopsis into the title and they will read it while scrolling through new titles. ...I hate that trend, but it has been big for a while now.

      @raziel83 Believe it or not, that's exactly what I was referencing. Saw an anime titled "I reincarnated as the 7th prince and (something somethimg I forgot) to hone my abilities! :D :D :D :D" and I realized the reason those kinds of titles suck is how many key words they shovel into the sentence, and subsequently concluded 3 key words was the maximum.

      I2P is also a lot more complicated than most are willing to do for now. It's about making it too tedious for most to access so they just decide the checks are faster and easier.

      I don't think OpenAI has that kind of foresight, and even if they did, it's gonna get really difficult to make AI the widespead monster they want it to be when it talks like a pornstar half the time.

    So far my story pattern is: true ending - comfort, happy sex, and a warm bath; alt endings - horrid bad ends for my beloved characters

      A bad ending, however, is often caused by taking the 'easy way out' by ignoring vital points or submitting to the 'villan' whether metaphorically by simply not respawing, or literally submitting to the bad guy, usually literal in the case of erorica ;)

      Fantasy and incest are the main things that I write. (I can drop the incest for this collab if necessary.) I'm not actually sure *what* to write for this, but I'd be happy to brainstorm something once we can narrow down something we both would like to write.

    Anything can be a sexual innuendo if you just say it seductivly enough, and I think that's beautiful.

      @OccasionalReader It's kind of like a reverse language barrier, in that the intrique and draw of a different language is lost thanks to speaking that language.

      That being said, pastries and baked goods (and eating in general) seem to be very popular picks for innuendos and pickup lines. Probably something to do with linking food (basic need) to sex (both primal urge and sophisticated practice).

      Now that I think about it, it's REALLY common to use food as a pet name. Things like muffin, cupcake, cake (as in ass), honey, sweetie, et cetera, et cetera. Certain foods like strawberries tend to get thrown in there too, so referring to your partner as a strawberry shortcake or an apple pie is actually more common and more complementary than you'd think.

      It's a classic, as cringe/corny it always is.
      Sometimes we like to imagine ourselves with giant shlongs, a pretty face, and an IQ above the boiling point of gallium, and that's simply that.

      I mean yes, a lot of it is trashy, but that's not the same as actually bad. Really, I think it makes more sense for people wanting to see themselves as successful than just a total fucking loser but hot women loving them and giving a standing ovation just for showering that morning, though most tend to fall into one of the two, and there's definitely ones done better than others with either.
