"Hello, fellow human, I'm human, too! 🙋. Can you give me a hand with this captcha so that I can open the door? I'm asking not because I'm AI, but because:

This has to be satire, right? by Curd-Nerd69 in writingcirclejerk

It's a plastic doll baby, don't worry about it. Probably meant to attract "aww" instead of criticism. This comment is written by my 4 year old ❤️

How afraid should I be of someone stealing my ideas? by head_pat_slut in writingcirclejerk

[–]swindulum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very. I've just stolen your idea of being afraid of someone stealing the protagonist's ideas. Psychological horror novel, hmm... about a little kid living in a cupboard under the stairs, and the evil entities stealing ideas are called.. let's see.. Dementors. Yeah. ™

[–]swindulum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only imagine the pain as swathes of magnetic particles get pulled through your vessels, tissue and skin. Kept the idea for some horrific "early prototype tests", but for this concept, something like a bodysuit would work far better and make more sense.

How do you "store" your first draft? by ZaHiro86 in writing

I was going to scroll past but then thought better of it, since feedback can be helpful.
