     This is a straaaaaaange book, in that it feels the need to have little callouts defining 'antagonist' and 'motivation', and other basic terms?

     'like a donut without the, well, the donut.'

     Surely, suuuuuurely you can do better than that?

     We're gonna agree to disagree on that one.

     Ok, we are going to agree on this, though.

     So... did corvettes just replace basic ships entirely?

     There's clearly still a lot of love in #NMS (No Man's Sky), but it also feels a lot more... hrm.

     Crowded?

     One day I'll work out how to run an #RPG that captures No Man's Sky's vibes.

     But, part of the whole thing is the sense of isolation.

     I was actually considering getting together a dataset of cheap romance-y stuff like Mills & Boon, then I realised I've never read any of that kind of thing anyway.

     I mean, they're short? Novella kinda deals?

     Dunno what the structure is.

     Maybe I have to read some cheap 'A wife for the farmer' trash, or whatever.

     Figured it was time to actually try to LORA on writing some shit.

     It's different in how you have to prompt it, compared to a conversational, but... yeah, it'll write you a chapter in the spec'ed style without too much fuss.

     It kinda works best if you just say 'scene includes X, Y, Z' and just leave it to it, see where it goes.

     Am I doing this to make stuff to release?

     No, that's a whole bunch of mess. I have known people who sold erotica/smut, and holy shit, that was active pain for them to deal with (lucrative, but annoying).

     This is all still, mostly, coming from 'can I get this to work?', and then probably, eventually 'can I make something so someone else can make this work, with very little fuss?'
