    Censorship by Payment Processors

    That's what I said. The people who would want to go to war over it don't have the numbers or access to levers of power. If one of them tried something, he would just be laughed at as some wacko terrorist. If a group of them coordinated together and started something, they'd be crushed, and then...

    Censorship by Payment Processors

    I don't think anyone is really going to go to war over the right to make smutty adaptations of underaged waifus, and that's the point. It's just a new way to kick people in the face, knowing you're not going to do anything about it, because you can't, you don't have the numbers, or access to any...

    Censorship by Payment Processors

    I thought SubscribeStar had gotten around censorship originally by using a Russian payment processor that was used for porn. Did that one get captured too?

    How do I know when I’m asking for validation?

    First consider if you already know the answer to the question you're about to ask. Or, you have at least 80% confidence in the answer. If yes, then your reason for asking the question is not to learn the answer, but to confirm what you already suspected, or just to hear someone else say it. A...

    Suggestions Thread

    There was an anti-idea I had a few days ago, a deconstruction, inspired by all the stories (so I've heard) that follow the pattern of: Guy gets kicked out of his adventuring party for being weak, but his build turns out to be secretly strong, and he makes everyone who was rude to him regret...

    Do you ever think it might be real somewhere?

    Collapsing the waveform indeed! The server does not play dice. I wouldn't say a point can't conceive of a line (or let's say, someone in flatland imagining a cube), because you don't know what people could imagine. The flatland resident wouldn't be able to see a cube, but you don't know what he...

    Do you ever think it might be real somewhere?

    Encounters with the supernatural (aliens, demons, angels, ghosts) might be the closest real world phenomenon to what you're talking about. Suddenly a person is confronted by a being that does not belong to the natural world as we understand it, and communicates information the person could not...

    Tag Voting

    What could be useful for me is if there was a system for readers to suggest tags, where the author is the only one who sees the suggestions. The author can then choose to add them or not, but it would at least be an easy feedback mechanism to know what other people think the story is about. In...

    Blade Vs Underworld?

    To account for his silver katana no longer being as effective, Blade should work something into the hilt to have it beam a UV laser down the length of the blade. So when he cuts into a vampire, the UV radiation burns the open wound, preventing it from fast-healing. He could also use this to...

    What's with the mole under the eye?

    This is what Google AI tells me: OK, so... a combination of fortune telling woo and someone's beauty mark fetish. I guess my real question should be why people find beauty marks attractive. Whenever I see a porn star with a piercing above her lip or in some other place where people sometimes...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Sounds like a teenage revenge fantasy to me. I can just imagine the MC standing there as his ex comes begging, and then suddenly he's wearing girly pyjamas and he starts singing: WE! Are NEVER! EVER! EVERRRR! Getting baaack together But from her perspective, he sounds like Oscar the crackhead...

    What's with the mole under the eye?

    So many anime images and video game characters I've seen have a mole under one eye or the other. It's so frequent that it can't just be random. What's the deal with that? Is there like a selfish-gene kind of explanation, where guys with that mole subconsciously seek out women who also have that...

    deleted work

    In such a scenario the one out that human writers have is to rely on word of mouth to build a dedicated base of readers that would follow their work specifically. The advantage of human writing over AI writing is the human's ability to see the bigger picture and tie threads in the story together...

    What's the deal with recent readers?

    The most helpful metric would probably just be to keep a rolling count of unique views within the last 7 days, so old views just get dropped from the count as time moves on. Might get tricky when it comes to calculating uniqueness though, for example if a user viewed it three times on different...

    Which type of Mobile Suit is your favorite?

    Never watched any Gundam shows, but I played a Gundam video game one time on a friend's console. I ended up picking that Ball thing a lot, because it was cheap but could still pack a punch. So for the price of one normal mecha I could get like 3 respawns with that Ball and just float around on...
