The first few chapters of “A Coordinator’s Story” contained the setup for a world where the Naked in School Program could become a reality. In those pages, I tried to show, using examples taken from our Real World, how a more open acceptance of public nudity (a decrease in prudery in the U.S., actually, more or less how things exist in Europe), could eventually result in a nudity program in the schools in my story.

If you think of it, many social changes in society eventually find those changes becoming adopted in schools in a limited way. So why couldn’t nudity in schools and the Naked in School Program become a reality too? Except that it never will, I’m quite certain.

The next few story chapters continue how Daan and his fellow teachers deal with their State education department’s mandate of teaching naked kids in school and should be in the feed soon. I hope that you’ll enjoy them.

I’ll be submitting a new NiS story soon, this one detailing how the Program got started and following the career of a Program coordinator and his family and colleagues. It’s titled “A Program Coordinator’s Story” and postings will be made a few chapters every four days or so. Please be kind in rating the story and hold off until you see how it develops, perhaps after five chapters. And of course feedback is appreciated; it’s the only payment an author on this site gets.

I'm reposting these questions since it appears that very few people saw this post--judging by the lack of replies.

If you're familiar with AI text-to-image sites or programs, I need some help or suggestions. I've found them difficult to use--the basic settings typically produce people with multiple arms and legs arising from all over their bodies, not to mention the six or seven fingers and/or toes that are common. Siamese twins are a frequent result too. And the image which results from the text prompt contains less than 20% of the requested elements. If I ask for a standing person, on 70 generation requests, I will get 50+ instances of sitting, squatting, or prone people.

So, two questions, really. What's a good reliable site(s) and how can I learn to write text prompts that actually work? I see on AI sites some real works of art and that gets me envious. I have no idea how to write a text prompt to generate such images.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I've added over two dozen images throughout the "Freedom" story. Hope that they enhance your reading pleasure.

My own art in these stories is laboriously assembled from multiple single images, themselves composed of anatomical parts drawn from multiple sources and pasted into the final image and graphically edited for the final form. And this needs to be done for each person in an image. Yet I see on AI sites some real works of art and have no idea how to write a prompt to generate such images.

Thanks for suggestions.

I've reposted many chapters of "Freedom to be Free" with a fair amount of custom artwork. I've also added a few images to "Kevin and Denise," "Roger and Cynthia," and "Tom's Troubles." I used various AI sites for base images, but most images are composites of up to twenty individual elements combined and added to the base using GIMP, a graphics program like Photoshop. Hope you think that the images add to the stories.
