But what do I do when I have writers’ block next time?

Em

Lovingly harass @onehitwanda in PM's. Or in a thread of your choosing, if you're in a derailing mood!

 

[stickygirl]

Agreed.

The case for the defense, flimsy as it is, might be that it’s a little intoxicating being able to visualize characters that you have created and are fond of.

But… no sense filling AH with it, so I agree restraint is appropriate [insert joke here].

Em

Just say you were intoxicated. Far more believable and forgivable

I don’t want my record in this area taken into account. Not sure I ever lived down my drunken “I don’t get cuck, what the fuck is up with that shit?” thread.

I have this derailing queen rep. What normally [not all the time] happens is someone says something tangential and I feel compelled to reply. Politeness or ND, take your pick.

Why should there be any image threads on the Author's Hangout? There is a forum specifically for visual artists.

Because this is a social club where authors hang out, not necessarily a writing workshop where we only talk about writing.

Three quarters of the threads would be gone if we only talked about writing here.

By the way, I checked with Enrique at the bar. We're out of vermouth again. Who was supposed to put in the fricking liquor order this weeK?

And on that note, I'm not always going to move a thread just because it could fit in another forum. If a thread is an editing help request, but has already received positive responses in the AH, I'm not going to move it on principle. If I believe a thread could benefit from the move, I will do so. There are a wide range of topics here which could conceivably fit in another forum, but fit just as well here.

As to the why of the AI image policy, I know as much as everyone else. What Laurel has provided via the new guidelines is what I know.

You do a great job, hun.

Keep it up.

We're out of the little wieners, too. I've got a bottle of vermouth and can bring it if you can run out to the store and get the little wieners.

Aha, but we're not talking, are? We're writing! Everything we post here is relevant. No matter how nonsensical it seems.

The defence rests, m'lud.

Shit, sorry, that's my fault. I spent the budget on a dancing girl named Alyssa in Amsterdam.

No worries, so worth it, and sweeter than vermouth, I'm sure...

 

[onehitwanda]

Listen, she had legs that went on for miles. I was unable to resist.

 

[StillStunned]

Alyssa is still around? She must be getting long in the tits tooth by now.

 

[onehitwanda]

It's like the Dread Pirate Roberts, babe. The name gets passed down along with that truly horrendous tiger-stripe g-string.

 

[ShelbyDawn57]

Listen, she had legs that went on for miles. I was unable to resist.

And so worth the climb, no doubt. Hope you told her hi for me this time.

That explains the mask covering the top half of her face then.

Send Wanda with a few bucks to the store for a bottle of vermouth, and you won't get any vermouth. But you will get a story.

Fair trade. Not complaining, but it is curious she went to the Netherlands for vermouth...

 

[Kelliezgirl]

That only comes after the map thus the slippery slope

You can use female anatomy to demonstrate the 5 major terrain features, so this checks out.

Hill, Ridge, Valley, Saddle, and Depression

 

[ElectricBlue]

Listen, she had legs that went on for miles. I'm Wanda. I was unable to resist.

What's miles got to do with it? I've edited it for ya!

 

[MillieDynamite]

I wonder what AI would do with a prompt; she had legs that went on for miles.

That's all fine, I don't disagree. But to that end, I find threads that have nothing at all to do with the common interest that draws us here exclude more than include people and are counter productive to the social club aspect of the forum.

Someone will find out, but now they won't be allowed to show us. Damn!

Fair enough, but the thread that probably started this has 119 pages and almost 3K posts. I'd call that inclusive.
