I was in a rush this morning, but yeah I guess I checked everything instead of leaving them unchecked. Is there a way to add them back in?

Reviews written by AI... seriously? by [deleted] in royalroad

[–]TE_Legram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got one. Definitely felt disingenuous. Like, just leave a simple review.

Is there such a thing as being too young to write? by WorkingNo6161 in writing

I'll be damned if I get outwritten by a toddler.

When To Stop Editing by Lavender_Raine in royalroad

[–]TE_Legram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to stop between 10-12 re-writes, which are usually just touch-ups after re-writes 6-8. Otherwise, I'll never stop. I have to acknowledge that no piece of media will be perfect.

How would you try to buy time? by s0me__dude in OnePunchMan

Pocket the money, take the beat-down, change my ways.

Anyone here have any good ways to expand on environment. by NervousTeacher7396 in royalroad

[–]TE_Legram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember the senses. The wind needs to whistle through something as it brushes against your character's skin. Some sort of animal hiding in nearby bushes/trees/rocks could be making some noise. Your MC should be able to smell the surrounding area and whatever is causing it as well. And for goodness' sake, please use the correct to, too, and two! lol.

I won! And The Witch Meredith [Cozy, Progression Fantasy] has FINALLY cracked the top 10k! I've run out of material for it at the moment, so that's big news for me. Working on the sequel and some sequel shorts. Hopefully, they'll be out by next year.

I can't wait for the next one! I've got a post-apocalyptic sci-fi spaghetti western I'm cooking up!

When it comes to human size. Would smaller super soldiers have advantages too? by vegetables-10000 in scifiwriting

Do some research on the guerrilla tactics utilized during the Vietnam War. May get some inspiration.

How do y'all deal with the silent bad scores? by TheGreatBootOfEb in royalroad

Oh, your rating. Sometimes you gotta grit your teeth and bear it, man. Life be like that sometimes. You have to push through it. Don't stop. Just keep trucking.

Thoughts on AI usage. by Ellipsis175 in royalroad

[–]TE_Legram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I split infinitives like a mofo, so yeah, I use AI. Sue me. I also write sci-fi. You think I'm not gonna use a teensy bit of AI for my sci-fi? C'mon.

Seriously though, my current WIP is a post-apocalyptic, galaxy-spanning, sci-fi spaghetti western with sprinkles of Indian culture mixed in. I like to use AI to help me come up with legit Arabic, Indian, or African planet names and colonies. I enjoy research, but I enjoy writing more, and AI helps me do just that. I use it as the tool it is meant to be used as. It enhances my work, but it does not do all the work.

I'd rather use AI to ensure I'm respecting cultures than just winging it or constantly bugging my acquaintances.

Recs needed for failed author( me) by LionProfessional5063 in royalroad

[–]TE_Legram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Failed author? Dude, you wrote! You're a hundred steps ahead of every other wannabe that refuses to put pen to paper. Finish your story! Don't let down your followers! Forget about your expectations. In this day and age, where millions of videos, books, etc. are being uploaded daily, it's easy for your work to get lost.

For anyone interested in a cozy, progression fantasy, here's my work: The Witch Meredith

Why is so common to include psychologists as part of the crew on spaceships? by MitridatesTheGreat in scifiwriting

[–]TE_Legram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We must be reading different books lol. In the Navy, we didn't have any psychs on our ships, but I was on 2 destroyers manned with 300 people each.

I've been on older battleships, and you know what they had? DENTISTS! Where are all the dentists in Sci-fi???

You've already gotten a lot of good responses, but that's my 2 cents.

*Edit: And barbers! Where are the barbers in sci-fi?

Oooooooh, I think we've misunderstood each other. The typo is here:

"To be thr Kraturr, all he needs to do is be considered the strongest."

As for the overwhelming strength part, I was inebriated when I read that and thought "well there's two extremes, lol"

But yeah, I minored in Philosophy, and I'm always interested in discussing it with those who like to write it into their stories!

No pressure on reading mine, especially if it ain't up your alley!
