Hi, all. You can edit a “double-version” of a story manually. @Desiderius Price just happens to be good at writing a lot of things beyond prose, so he plays to his strengths. Unless you’re going for “fanservice in every bite,” you can “porn-up” or “porn-down” most writing, most of the time, if the setting of your story allows for sex at all. The exceptions happen when either the very existence of the story hinges on a “questionable” circumstance, or the happenings of the story “demand” explicit descriptions. Not enough sex, follow them into the shower/bedroom/etc. Too much sex, “fade to black” and pick it back up when they’re basking in the afterglow. You can also change the “impact” of a sex scene by either providing the reason for it, denying the reason for it, or making it obvious that there is no reason for it. Cheers!

Hi, all. Nothing at all wrong with PWP when compared with plotted written porn. But like you also just pointed out, once you start asking (and answering) questions, then the plot bunnies harness up, and the story takes off for places uncharted. I suppose you could say a similar thing about human life in general. As a rule, we are social beings and sexual activity, like most other human activities, tends to be more interesting when done in groups of more than one. My Dinner with Andre was well-received, both when it came out and today. While My Assignation with Andrea would more likely be the generic “Pornhub Two-Reeler,” it could also be so much more artistically, even while being just as erotically explicit if not more. While magical worlds, whether JKR’s or otherwise, can have their own unique gimmicks, in the end they still involve people, with all that implies. Some people are boring, and others not-so-much. And imagination can take you and your reader to the strangest places. Imagine that Hagrid is a closet felcher, and that he unknowingly interrupts Professor (Crouch) Moody’s hallway discipline of Draco Malfoy during The Goblet of Fire. Further, imagine that the human transfiguration doesn’t wear off until after Hagrid has enjoyed some mid-morning entertainment. What if Draco liked it? 😉 Cheers!

Hi, Desiderius Price and all. Didn’t Black and Decker try to make an inexpensive knock-off of that in the late 1970s? After all, not everyone can afford Milwaukee tools. IIRC, the model in the print ad showing the device off had crooked teeth and was visibly wearing braces. Now, if only I could remember the name of that particular tool line… 😉 Cheers!

Mine are still at home. But, ‘company’ has shown up early, including an uncle that they hadn’t expected to show up.

Hi, Desiderius Price. In your example above, AI could be a tool to help an author. So could a beta reader/editor, with likely better results. Some less dubious “trickery” has been used in the past for circumstances like you’ve listed. However, AI is inherently untrustworthy, since by its very nature it will “taint” that actor/actress’s entire performance in that movie. It’s far better to edit the screenplay to downplay the dead performer’s character, or reshoot all the scenes that performer appeared in with a different performer. AI is already being used excessively to the detriment of real people, whether those people are the human creative people or the audience for which those people would otherwise perform. This says nothing about those cases where real people should/would not perform at all. Thanks.

Mine have returned home after a wedding reception and public music performance.
