I'm tired of going "I want to stay up and be creative and productive...because tomorrow has PEOPLE all over it..."

1630 words today ... But 65 job apps sent.

Ah well. Gnight kids.

Looked up the "official" as things seem "What are the traits required to hold Mjolnir.

And going down through my cast list and seeing which ones are Yes and which are No. Kinda fun.

But anything like "write me a chapter" or "draw today's strip" ? NOPE. get the hell out of here. A story world as deep as PE? it would choke and never be able to keep the context of the story and would just go completely off the rails, not knowing who is who.

"Grammar check this text. write comments {inline with braces} but do not alter the original text"

And look and see how many completely fuck up that task.

Things I would do with AI and a comic? "translate this comic page into German" or Make me a wiki of every character and their appearances.

Well, that's so common, AIs have seen it and can rote reply the answer. But alter it. "I have a 5,12, and 19, give me 14 gallons." and they've never seen this so have to try and "Think" it out. a GOOD AI will. Most fail horribly.

I've tested a lot of LLMs, both for actual work, as well as learning for my industry. I usually check to see if they can do the Arty Bucket Test. You've heard the test, you have a 3 gal and 5 gal bucket, none of which have measurements to tell how much is inside, give me exactly four gallons.

Ripley the Polydactyl housecat. Immortalized forever as one of the protagonists in book 3.

why did I do this?

Because I chose to. My world. Yes, house cats and anthro cats (like my dear Ripley!) exist simultaneously. Other than a vague body language, there is no communication. No, They can no more reproduce than you could with a monkey... Sorry. They don't even think of it.

Also,Grimm is NOT a "melanistic Leopard" he is a fully black panther. He has a THING for women with spots, mostly cheetahs and leopards. SO MUCH SO that people think "Panthers" are melanistic Leopards. Nope, half a billion years of being horny for spotty girls has made enough kids that it seems so.

But Arty, that sounds like bullshit handwaving. YUP, it sure does. But this is my book, and I have decided THIS is how it works, otherwise everyone explodes when they change dimensions.

Grimm is a panther. He purrs. Because I said he can. ALL cats can, even if they can't in "Our World"

So our protagonists will exhale and the water vapor in their breath will immediately turn to STEAM. I counter this by having the demons exhale -FROST- when they come to us.

"How do they keep alive?" "Oh simple, a bioelectrical field carries its own physics with it."

typical boat hulls will not decay in SO2, unless H2O is added causing a caustic acid. But since there's no water in natural forms... Also, the density of pure SO2 is 1.44x that of water, so a boat would need to adjust the draft and... Yeah, I am a sucker for science rabbit holes.

The cool thing is I get to play with Theoretical Physics, like what happens if in this dimension, oxygen/hydrogen bonds SUCK and oops, life has to evolve from silicon-based instead of carbon-basd. And can a modern boat float in an ocean of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) (Yes, TOO well)

Isnt this picture from his FIRST term in office? That tiny desk was setup in Walter Reed while covid was suffering from him?

Halona's boys even get their own shorts, because I wanted to develop them out and got addicted to just worldbuilding.

I really might split the side stories off into their own "Optional material deleted from Book 2.", "read before book 3" and "read after book 3" sets.

fuck it, I am self publishing, I'll do what makes ME happy.

I did just over 8700 words JUST TODAY. I get into a groove, and I just type like a madman.

The "Side Stories" book is currently 150k

Including. "Courtship of the Barista" a complete novella detailing Kastagir/Haley's relationship which is hinted in book 2 but has to be solid by book 3.

Book 1 - Dahlia's Quest: 51 files, 129650 words
Book 2 - Kastagir's Return: 50 files, 155671 words

And approximately 60% written;
Book 3 - Dostinovu Dynamite: 55 files, 133296 words

Book 4 is completely unwritten. Only my plot notes so far. Est 80-100k word range, likely smallest in the set.

Book 3 is looking to be at least 50% longer than either books 1 and 2. Book 4 will be as long as all the plot beats need to breathe properly. Of which I am still adding to. I do not want to split book 3 into two. I have a near full book of side stories between 2 and 3 for
More Universe.

Tough part of writing today, is that I have to write a "Chapter 5.5" to fit between 5 and 6 (I'll renumber later) and I need to make sure that the NEW text does not out "Craft" the text that was written 15-20 years ago. So that means elevating surrounding text and.. augh.

No matter what prompt you put in, it comes out with long hair.

I should do it, dress up and film it, NO AI at all. and then at the very end state "So how good is it? You probably think I'm a real person."

Part of me wants to just... make a "Turbo-Encabulator" for the AI Era. See how many people and companies I can get interested in it.

Linkedin is "Hey, that cool thing you're building? You're DOING IT WRONG. You should be using Peebo and Breem. Otherwise you're going to be left in the dust. What? NO more Peebo? It was just launched yesterday tho? Ah. BLOOB.. if you aren't using BLOOB you're doing it wrong..."

I just realized I've got half a society of demons, I need to give them something more than just Military Grunts.. and I need to make it all fit and slot in properly.

They don't need to be super-advanced, but perhaps the poor fools invented paperwork and filing cabinets before they invented fire.

half the jobs on indeed that fit me, all go to "DataAnnotation" which is basically "Hey, help us make AI better at doing your job."

yeah. fuck.

That's something I've had joy in deciding "What happened, and what did not" with the story world. Like, getting to decide "Nah, this event didn't happen, they weren't that stupid" and so on. Hopepunk the story when you can right?

Gasp! I can read the comic again! Aaaaaah! I have to roll back like.. years.. to find where I was...

Wait, you can gift subscriptions to people?
