No chapter publication today; yesterday was rather rough for me mentally (gotta love executive orders /s)
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.
However, they do come with their own risks; if you're American, merely using Tor can get a target on your back
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've concluded that 2025 is the year of "just saying shit," from politics and world news to the trending bullshit on Instagram Reels.
I was considering giving an example on the latter, but I think I might genuinly start coughing up blood if I attempt to bring forth such an unholy union of lexicon.
Found a new video game and my writing time is in the dumpster. Very glad now that I promised updates so infrequently. :P
ChatGPT. Work related: stops working after a dozen of messages. Isekai harem building slave training RPG:Be my guest all day! WTF?
My theory is that OPENAI has a system that benefits chats they deem useful for training future models.
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 ;)
Would anyone be up to collab on a story? I feel like it would be fun to take turns writing something for a while.
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.
@GyroscopicGraphite And then me over here with the pet name moon for my wife and she with princess for me lol. I guess I'm not like other girls? jk, princess is a pretty common pet name
"Oh, Protag-sama! Your dick is so big! How are you so handsome and such a genius at the same time?" -reviewer about Iskeai anime
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.
"And you're sooo strong, even though your days consist entirely of vegging out watching anime and playing MMORPGs!"
Today’s chapter is… basically just a sex scene. But oh gosh I think it might be one of the best things I’ve ever written!
*creates a new character and immediately begins obsessing over her* (this is like the tenth time this has happened)
*accidentally presses the enter key while working on variables to set everything up* "Your chapter has been published"
Same thing happens when you accidentally try to enter tags in the "follow-up question" text box. Very annoying. :P
Literal moments ago, I found out there IS a gender neutral term for a niece/nephew and it's nibling. Nibling. One of the best words to date.
Oof; try excedrin? Might be a bit strong for a headache, and you'll want to have some food with it but worth a shot; probably a bit late now but worth remembering for next time.
