silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Art is fundamentally a form of communication. It's empty when there's no intent behind the words. The greatest harm AI has done is in undermining the basic trust we have that there is intent behind the art, and there's no going back from that, but we *can* make our intent sing louder. 040
silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 21/03/2026fun fact: .5% of all spells cast on crabs turn into more crabs. some asexual species of mimics have evolved to take advantage of this fact, although the mimic and crab communities are divided on how to label the results 030

silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 17/01/2026You'd think people stealing my content would at least *try* to be creative when renaming the story. Wtf is "the mana infusion quest"? He's not on a quest! The point is he already has mana! And trauma! *Mostly trauma!* 140
silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 26/12/2025How do I *very politely* say "if you make me feel bad in my comments section, it makes me not want to read my comments section, and I would prefer to keep interacting with my fans" 120

silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 25/12/2025"marketing" does not have to be perfect. mind you, some understanding of who you want to engage with your work is always good, and i'm not saying marketing should be ignored. but i do think that, in the majority of cases, there are more benefits to a human hand than a mechanical one. 110
silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 25/12/2025but i do also think this is somewhat indicative of how writing is often viewed, consciously or otherwise, as the less creative of the arts and so not part of the project, per se. but do consider that ai generation often loses a lot of the passion you would otherwise have for your project. 110
silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 25/12/2025disclaimer: i don't think ai generated writing should be "called out." even if you have a lot of evidence, there's a good chance that once presented, that evidence gets misconstrued and simplified as "x or y trait means the work is ai," which is what happened with em dashes and such 130
silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 25/12/2025you can get pretty good at reliably noticing ai generated writing, but then you realize how many people have resorted to ai generation to, say, write their comics or kickstarter campaigns or for the most basic social media interactions 160
silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Yeah. I think being able to examine intent in general is also just crucial to *expressing* intent. It's a good writing exercise. Early on my writing was very "throw a character into the world and pilot them like a video game", but that doesn't lend itself well to examining things without extra work. 120

silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 17/07/2025New story launched! Come check out Just Add Mana (which abbreviates to JAM, a fact that will not come back to haunt me, probably.) www.royalroad.com/fiction/1251...royalroad.comJust Add ManaThe more lives you've lived, the more mana you have, and Cale has lived too many lives to count. At this point, his core is closer to the magical equivalent of a nuclear reactor. The downside to this ... 172

silverliningsrr.bsky.social @silverliningsrr.bsky.social · 11/06/2025at this point 'living suit of armor' might as well be some sort of weird signature that i add to all my stories (i think cale's swordsmanship instructor should be animated armor and they should flirt a lot) 250

Why is it censored? Is the breath-sucking somehow lewd??? 230
