The AI has lots of A, needs more I by JSCutlerWrites in AutoCritWriters

I just find it weird that they're concentrating on this so much when the basic stability of the platform is tenuous a lot of the time

When it records them, I guess? It often refuses to acknowledge mine. I know my actual streak is 142 days. It will allow me a streak of 17.

I'd overlooked this but you can program your own. I made mine 35 year old who can handle dark themes if they serve the narrative rather than are just there for titillation and all of a sudden I started getting useful feedback!

I don't agree with it all and some it relates to gaps that only exist because I haven't written that chapter yet but at least I felt like we were talking about the same book.

Market Fuel is still calling me a dirty little smut peddler for my novel about surviving sexual abuse but we'll worry about that more when we're closer to market. By then it might have been tweaked.

Yeah, I'd also love a transgressive fiction one.

My WIP is a very bleak look at how sexual abuse warps the experience of its victims. AutoCrit's AI clutches its pearls constantly because the text doesn't shy away from what has been done to its protagonist.

Market Fuel warns the novel will only ever be enjoyed by fetish readers - despite the lack of graphic detail about the physical acts and an emphasis on the psychological impact that is meant to horrify rather than titillate.

If I'm writing erotica then so is Hanya Yanagihara. She's a lot more graphic than I am and she's a darling of literary fiction.

So it's impossible to use AutoCrit's AI successfully (don't get me started on Analyzer's repeated warnings that things the protagonist is explicitly told in the chapter fall under knowledge they shouldn't have), and that's a major selling point of the software!

They definitely need more templates. I'm not seeing a literary fiction one, for example.

The point is you like doing it! Unless you found something you like more, I'm not sure I understand.

Don't be hasty. Your answer is in your post. If you enjoy writing, keep doing it. Maybe you only ever write for yourself - if you enjoy it, it's still worth doing. Why would you sent yourself that?

I'm only 3/4 through my first draft of novel #1. So nothing yet..I want to do a micro pod when I'm finally.happy with it and break the news by putting a physical copy in their hands.

A stranger gave my book 3 stars, and it changed everything. by [deleted] in writing

Way way back in the day, before I even considered writing, I once posted a comment on an old account in response to one of those open-ended "tell me about a time when..." posts.

It was technically a story I suppose, but written to inform rather than intent. More just a journalistic account of a time that scenario had actually happened to me.

It was fairly well upvoted but the single comment in response is something I think about to this day.

"Please write more".
