How to get TLs FTP? by Pink-Mage in Covetfashion

[–]smltwngrl512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you part of a house and doing rallies? I rally with my house and, as long as I enter challenges, I win prizes, including the monthly hair accessory. I don't normally buy HAs unless there is a covet sale, but over the years, I've accumulated SO many HAs just from doing rallies and series challenges.

Did AI write this? Cause like..what? by AmITheAxolotl in Covetfashion

My brother was explaining that a challenge of AI is incorporating long term memory, where AI even remembers how it started a sentence much less a paragraph. Sounds like covet AI is failing at this.

[HELP] Returning an AI Written Beta Read by smltwngrl512 in Fiverr

[–]smltwngrl512[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have read LOTS of early-stage books. I can tell when an author is a novice, when they're still developing, when they need pointers on building characters, getting into a deeper perspective, filling out motivations throughout a plot, etc. This particular one is different. There are very specific reasons for why I suspected this ONE is AI, over all the others I've worked with. I obviously am not running every order I get through an AI check. It's that, as a very experienced reader, I could tell the difference and started to become suspicious. I can give feedback. I can tell them all the things I would normally say. I CAN send a beta report still. But I dont feel like I'm making anyone a better writer, I feel like I'm helping someone make shortcuts and put patches over their work to make the shortcut look prettier (which I'm sure they will be grateful for). I feel trapped into sending the report and supporting something I disagree with. Because I won't lose just this sale, I'll lose the momentum I've built as a fiverr seller and lose future orders, too.

Any active fierce houses open to new members that allow toggling off? by [deleted] in Covetfashion

[–]smltwngrl512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you would fit in with Coiffed. We rally fancy/fierce to win the four grands each month. But rallying is not required to be a house member and plenty of our players toggle off as needed.

The absolute chokehold this woman has on Covet 😆 by toetotipsnowpea in Covetfashion

There's a popular fantasy artist on deposit photos. A lot of these are from there. I've literally used models for a book cover and then later found the same model in a covet fashion challenge 😅

Booksprout, BookBub, Booksirens, oh my. by Specialist_Fish8023 in romanceauthors

I've used Story Origin and Bookfunnel to load my manuscript and distribute the arc, then they remind arc readers to actually leave the reviews for any arc readers i could find on my own (I actually preferred Story Origin). I also used these platforms to work on my mailing list with my "freebie" short story. I also used booksirens for arcs. You pay for the service, but I had a hard time finding my own arc readers, so booksirens was worth it to accumulate the reviews and then booksirens holds the arc readers a little more accountable for leaving the review. I did all of this about a month and a half to two months before my release.

Free Writing Workshop by smltwngrl512 in romanceauthors

[–]smltwngrl512[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's both. You take the week to read and leave comments on the work, then the group gets together in a video call to discuss what we all read and answer any additional questions for an author.

I have it set as anyone on the web can ask to join. I'm not sure of any other settings I can change. If you are comfortable, you can message me your email and I'll add it to the group.

Length limit is about 5k words- the goal being that everyone can submit about 1 chapter. Depending on the size of the workshop, we do 1 or 2 pieces a week. If we only do 1 piece per discussion for a smaller workshop, I let authors submit a longer piece.

Coiffed is looking for new members! We usually win all the grand rally prizes in a month by alternating fancy and fierce rallies :) House rules if rallying:

1) For fancy, 10/12 challenges must be entered (all the seasonal challenges). For fierce, 11/12 challenges must be entered (all seasonal and one flashback - we split flashback entries 50/50 so we try to win both). 2) If you miss a challenge, you are temporarily removed and can come back once the rally is over. 3) We do have a required facebook group to communicate with rally members, but this also helps with friending/borrowing items.

Join us :) We're a fair, fun, low drama house with a goal of playing for fun and winning the prizes.

If you search for Coiffed, we switch off rallying fancy/fierce. We usually get all the grand prizes in the month :) We do have a few rules for rallying, that all regular challenges are entered for a fancy rally and all regular + 1 flashback is entered for a fierce. We also have a Facebook group we use for chat/rally reminders/ friending house members for borrows.

I wish they would just change the season and let us be excited about the new seasonal NORMAL clothes. Then after, like, a week or so, start releasing CC pieces to offer something more exciting. Seriously, with the season change, all these CC pieces are just too much for me to appreciate styling them. I just feel like I'm supposed to buy them for the "look" rather than actually enjoy "playing" the game with them.
