I imagine December 2021? Halloween’s not quite upon us, but not too soon to be thinking up of a story. Dunno if I’ll participate, depends on how engrossed I am by my potter story whether I want to risk the diversion or not.

Am I wrong or is my grammar checker an idiot?
Desiderius Price replied to Ghost-of-a-Chance's topic in Writers' Corner
Don’t need to write out a sentence, I already know I’m an idiot (got the ID-10-T form to prove it) – oh, you mean grammar checker, well, still applies cause I’m still it. -

Favorite shout, from the “Sheogorath Shout – Call of Madness” mod, rains down hundreds/thousands of cheese wheels, and will tick off about everybody around you despite trying to cure hunger! Of course, the merchants should be suspicious of the shady character pawning off a thousand cheese wheels, but they don’t seem to care.

If you’ve got the patience, the stealth armor is about the best, IMO, at least for me. Snipe out a bandit, duck back somewhere to hide. Of course the others might say “nothing to see here, must’ve been my imagination” next to their dead friend, guess loyalty doesn’t run very deep there.

Grind your character high enough in any skill set and it’s nearly a one shot/punch to take out a dragon; two if you’re not quite there yet.

@Ditmag You can tell how the interesting conversations go around here, start off with a good question, and now it’s skyrim tactics

Think I spent way too much time playing that game. Preferred the stealth/sniper build myself, and got annoyed at mandatory companions who’d ring every doorbell, set off every trap, and push me over cliffs.

Jar Jar Binks meets Dragon Priest?

FIRST time somebody asks via comments if I’ll write a particular crossover between fandoms, I’m a tad annoyed, but I’ll politely decline. SECOND time means they feel entitled if they can’t be bothered to read my reply to the first one – DELETE. (BTW, it’s on AO3, so that button’s available to me.)

Wow...a button here on AFF to remove reviews on AO3!
As a software developer I am suitably impressed by the dragons that runs this place... -
*sticks tongue out at @Thundercloud* We have the ability to delete reviews here, which is not the most obvious feature, sadly. I just thought I’d do that educate folks thing we mods are supposed to do from time to time, to earn our, well, nothing, but you know…

@Thundercloud They know the secret handshake.

I’ve got stories posted to three archives, AFF, AO3, & FFN. Only FFN with my main potter fanfic seems to be getting hit by bots. AO3 & AFF both seem to be bot-free. 11k in 100 days might be bot driven, however, some fandoms are more active than others.

I liberally lather up the minor1 tags, so it’s more likely my smut that does it. You’re welcome!

Not saying it’s the greatest idea ever, simply what I do because there’s no other metric here, aside from reviews. (And don’t think asking the reader a comprehension worksheet would work either.) Now, FF.net has good enough statistics for me to ascertain that bots are coming through. I mean, I doubt humans are reading my 700k potter fanfic in a day. It was meaningful the couple of times I watched a slow progression through the chapters, that did let me know that somebody was willing to hit “next chapter”. On FF.net, though, they have other metrics, like alerts & favorite counts, to help know that readers are liking it.

Bit of gunk on the monitor becomes a (derogatory) nickname to a character, funny how life goes.

At what point must I stop calling my story “short”, a million words?

A minimum of a billion words is short =p
-
What’s scary is that there are a couple of 2M+ harry potter fanfics on the other archive, and mine might join them – simple projection of pre-revision word count and the effect of my rewrite on it. (ie, started with 500k, and my rewrite has transformed 100k into around 900k, so that’s potentially many millions of words, with LOTS of smut baked in).

Remember, you’re here because your parents got frisky. Sweet dreams!
-
What bothers me more is that my parents are here because both sets of my grandparents got frisky… and they had more kids than just my parents… so that’s a lot of frisky grandparents…
-
Guess it depends on the age they did it at, but yeah, not letting my imagination go there, plenty to imagine before that.
