First Ever Crime and Punishment Story Event - Official Support Thread

Okay, I came up with an idea for my first foray into the wild world of LW and it "might" fit in here. Here's a quick synopsis.

After a rival has put a contract out on them, a mafia boss gets a distant relative to protect his wife and adult daughter. They go into hiding somewhere remote, sex ensues, and then the badder guys attempt a hit and our valiant MC defeats them in a room-to-room gunfight. This earns him the boss's eternal gratitude and his wife's as well.

The story features criminals and their families, but no crime is committed aside from the attempted assassination.

What do you think? Is this in the spirit of the event or am I coloring too far outside the lines? Please be honest, the story will get written in either case. Thanks.

I'll second this request. And I'd need it to work with Chromebook. I tried chatgpt and it wants me to load another browser onto my computer, and another art AI wasn't cooperating with my system either. Google chrome needs to get their xxxx together.

Adobe has an AI art app in development. The person who does the covers for my publisher has signed up for the beta but hasn't been accepted yet. It will be part of the CreativeCloud collection of software when it is out of beta. Not sure what the holdup is on our cover design artist getting into the program. I'm also not sure if they will have outside the CC universe. Knowing Adobe (and not being able to afford Adobe), I'm sure this will cost a tit and dick to use.

I'll be visiting my art major son next month on the West coast. I know he's used adobe, and has dabbled some on AI art sites. Will see if he can get me up to speed on how to get started. He seems to know how to get a lot of his 'stuff' on free or public domain sites.

Be aware that Laurel has made a point with another author that AI artwork isn't accepted at this time. They were doing illustrated stories, so maybe cover images would be accepted.

If you don't mind rolling your own, Stable Diffusion is open source with a thriving community. You will need to play with it, but you have a lot of options. /r/stablediffusion on reddit is very active.

Many of the online AI services have their porn filters locked down tight and don't like prompts that would get you anything suggestive.

My submission to Lit with AI in the Illustrated Stories category was rejected.

Lit is not accepting AI art due to potential copyright regulations/violations - direct statement from Lit admin. Neither textual content generated with AI nor AI art is acceptable for publishing. It has to be hand-produced work by you, or you photographed the shot and have the copyright to those. Exception - you can use another person's material if you get a release from them to use their work, which was their hand-produced copyrighted work or photo.

One qualifier noted: you can use spell check or grammar check software as an aid, not something that writes or creates the text or work of art for you.

Crime stories really do write themselves.

Yes, yes they do. Many of my stories seem to do that. On some, I get an idea and run with it, with no idea how it'll end up. And a lot of times I surprise myself where a story goes. Many have ended up nowhere near what I expected them to.

The same goes for inspirations for stories. Some story plotlines I have had in my mind for years, but some just slap me in the face and call me 'mama'. The plot of my story 'Silverfish' came to me while I was sitting in Atlanta traffic and saw a car with one of those Christian fishes attached to the back. When I got home, I wrote the whole outline then the whole story in one sitting, and it changed the course of my series of stories, as well.

It's all part of the fun to me, and a big reason why I enjoy writing the stories so much. I hope many others will try it and see what happens for them.

Gotcha. I would still like to find an AI artist program/app for non-Literotica things, like art for book covers or illustrated/graphic novels in other places. So I'll be grateful for any suggestions...

Give Stability AI a shot. One version is free. I found it easy to use. Just enter text and it spits out images. I even entered a sentence or two from my Hammer 2023 story that was rejected due to AI images and it created visuals. Twenty minutes of fooling around with it and you can begin to get the idea of what it can do. The image to the right is another example. It can get more revealing if you want. I created a quick cover for the Illustrated submission, dimwittedly thinking that Lit could post such a cover with the story. No - it cannot. I stuck an image in a Word document and came up with this in about fifteen minutes. It's just text wrapped. I could have put in text boxes I guess, but I'm not that far in the learning process, yet. There is no art mode in MS Word to speak of, but someone out there could do that I'm sure - probably cost an arm or a few fingers in something like Photoshop.

I'm not attacking the actor, He was cool-and funny-in a lot of movies. I just couldn't stand his character in Goodfellas and Casino. Little man syndrome gets you dead quick in that world. He was also in a Bronx Tale but in a very limited and much more lowkey

Tell you what for as many horror movies as I've seen his end in Casino was one of the most brutal death scenes you'll see. I loved it.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall during the pitch meeting for that "heads in a dufflebag" movie.
 
Oh wow! I'm really into regency era stories and was thinking of writing a "cosy mystery". It'll be strange veering away from my usual noncon stuff and it'll be even stranger incorporating sex into a cosy murder mystery set in the Regency era, but I'll do it regardless because this is so interesting dammit!
