Voting versus Thank Yous

Posted at
 

I kind of wish we didn't have voting turned on.

It's not a score that ever feels right. People seem to jump to some of the newest stories and immediately downvote if the fetish/kink isn't to their liking.

I've noticed so many new stories where the vote is 6.4.

It's only been up for a day, and it's chapter one. How can you tell that's the score it deserves?

If anything, voting should only materialize after chapter seven. You can't really know how good a story is until you have read into it.

It's very discouraging and I don't see the point in so many great stories listed as "6.4".

On another forum/story site they allow you to see the number of "Thank yous". A person can only send one and you can see who sent it.

You have a tabulation of how many thank yous that you have given, and how many you have received.

To me, that's a positive. It doesn't mire everyone in mediocrity of 6.4 (Slightly above the middle) and it just shows who appreciates you.

Could we do that?

Fourth of July Story

Posted at
 

If you aren't an American, you probably could give two shits about the Fourth of July.

However, I wanted to write something short for Fourth of July. I didn't get it completed until pretty much the end of the evening.

https://storiesonline.net/n/34555/firecracker-mom-red-white

It's a mind-control story. The real difference here is to showcase some of my AI imagery. I included 9 captioned photos in two chapters.

I was able to make consistent characters, upscale and really improve upon my craft. I enjoy creating nasty worlds and scenarios and sharing them on here.

I think writing now is just one component of that. The ability to craft my own images enhances and adds to it. On it's own, the story is a relatively novel mind-control story about a boy that hypnotized his mom for the right reasons (stopping smoking) but connects it to her deepest desires to be humiliated and embarrassed through her subconscious.

I also wanted a reason for a woman to shoot bottle rockets out of her asshole, and put sparklers in her butt. If you think that's over the top and outrageous you can find tons of porn of it on the Internet with just a few searches of Youtube and Motherless.com. It's usually done at parties by some slutty bimbo.

It was a challenge getting the AI to recognize what I wanted it to do. However, a bit of a learning process for me.

I made about 120 photos, some of which were perfect for the story. However, I paired them down to the essential.

There was one photo of the gang bang at the end, with hash marks on the woman's ass that would have been perfect. However, I decided to go another way and I already had an illustration for that scene.

Overall, it was probably 10x more enjoyable to me to complete this project WITH pictures, than it would have been to write it without.

Surprisingly (to me, anyway), I received about 9 comments from readers expressing constructive feedback about the story. That's much higher than my normal average of (checks notes)... almost none!!

Some people did not enjoy the twist at the end. I almost didn't add it, but I wanted the story to feel "concluded". I was tempted to go back in an add a different ending.

Let me know if feedback after you read it how you wished the story to have ended?

A few people also wished the story was longer. Me Too! but I am still editing and working on Visiting Aunt Scarlet and NIS: Breeder!

Hobosexual

Posted at
 

Today, I read an article about a fairly attractive woman who is homeless. She bragged that she uses a dating app to go on a date every night, gets a free meal and usually spends the night with her date.

She doesn't like to commit, so she isn't interested in sticking around, but I bet she has some regulars who give her a good dicking that she can call if she gets bored with her current date/he isn't willing to go that far/that fast.

I call her a "Hobosexual"

I was thinking about a future story about the adventures of such a woman. Would that be interesting?

I was also imagining a wealthy woman or teenager, who has a fetish for getting fucked by homeless people who trolls the local homeless shelters and camps for random outdoor sex, possibly with the support/approval of her husband/boyfriend.

That would be a little different than my normal stories. I am still writing Visiting Aunt Scarlet (it's going to be a two parter), so this is after I complete that.

I also have 75 chapters of NIS Breeder to post, and I am not quite half way done yet with that, so this a month or so away. I am just curious if you'd like that?

Some feedback I received was many of my stories involve a lot of common themes. That's true - I write what I know.

I can't do 50 shades of gray, with an impossibly handsome billionaire who sits around all day in his mansion, waiting for Alex Steele to show up, when he could just hire a porn star to do whatever nasty shit he wants without asking him a bunch of questions.

I don't know how those worlds work.

I can write about what I know - middle class suburbs, trailer park, every day people.

I was also told that I do a lot of humor in my stories. This is because in my real life, I use humor to cope with stuff, and as a defense mechanism and just in general. I reflect that people in weird situations often joke.

I remember once this guy handcuffed a subbie to a shower rod and said "Hang around". We all groaned at the joke, but it's a classic example to me that people like to offer jokes sometimes when it is inappropriate or unexpected.

I was told that I should downplay that in future stories, and that I also have a lot of farting buttholes/big butt girls and geeky, awkward teenagers who are obsessed with asses.

I grew up as a geeky awkward guy who was obsessed with asses, so I write what I know. However, In Visiting Aunt Scarlet - he isn't. I'll see if I can write one story without the focus on big butts, etc.

I am curious to get your feedback on my stories.

I am especially interested in knowing if the AI pictures included are interesting? I like to think that someone is beating off to them. It's kind of flattering to know I helped people crank one out now and again.

My illustrated stories

Posted at Updated:
 

Years ago, I fooled around with the tools that were available to make illustrations for stories. They were klugey and involved creating elaborate scenes with paper doll style figures.

Now, the AI has advanced so much that you can use natural language to make AI pictures that perfectly enhance your stories.

However, most sites don't allow NSFW, and those that do have limitations. There isn't one super site that makes everything I want.

It's been a real learning process and I am enjoying illustrating my stories as much as writing them. I look forward to adding pictures that will enhance scenes for the viewer without violating any of the TOS rules (as an example, I do not think I can show beastiality or anything TOO graphic, so I don't even try). Instead, I try to give the inference of what's happening in the scenes to evoke thoughts and imagination.

https://storiesonline.net/n/33623/nis-breeder-program/32

Case in point, the latest chapter of the NIS Breeder story. I wanted a picture of a happy, healthy, well-adjusted nordic family that just likes being nude. I wanted their house to look modern, but have Swedish hints of their rural heritage and interest in wood crafting etc.

I wanted the daughters to look like their mother, and the parents to look much younger than their real age. I think I fucking nailed it!!

However, I didn't just go to one super-site that does it all, type in a scene and boop-burp it came out looking like that.

I have four sites I use now. One that just exclusively does upscale and inpainting to repair the fix oddities in the pictures. Originally, the man had no dick, hands were fucked up, the youngest sister was missing her shock collar, etc.

My process is this:

1. Dream it up - pick one scene in my story that I can blow up into a picture.
2. Write a prompt that works
3. Select a Lora, Model, and make about 30-40 pictures with it, adjusting as I go until I find the right one.
4. Upscale it
5. Inpaint out the imperfections
6. Manually edit to adjust things, blur things, sharpen things, add/edit with paint.net
7. Add a caption that summarizes it.

That's the basics, I'll talk about it.

I started with one site that lets me use "Lora" to define the picture. A Lora can make it look like a person, or add things to the picture like a crowd.

An example is in chapter 31, I wanted a line of high school students waiting behind the booth. I have a lora that added that. It tells the AI "Here are some extra resources to use in this picture"

Then I have to use a model. Not every site has the same models. The model is sort of the basic operating system the AI uses to make the picture. Some models will make it photo realistic, some will make it look like anime, or some art style.

Many of my earlier AI pictures were limited to artist style, but increasingly I am making them more and more photo realistic, or at least high quality art.

I don't just take the first picture. I make many, sometimes 30-40 pictures before I am satisfied.

You have to fidget with two dials:

CFG is a value from 1-15. You can go over 15 but it's not recommended and I never have. 1 means AI should be as creative as it wants. 15 means "follow my prompt" as closely as possible.

It may seem like you are just typing in what you want to see, but Prompting is it's own art form/kung fu sort of like coding. You can get the same results with different prompts, but learning how to get those results takes practice. The prompt language is natural "Imagine a red headed mature woman who is naked standing in front of an ice cream stand." for instance.

However, you can also use something like (1girl), (red hair), (big boobs), (nude), ((naked)), daytime, standing in front of an ice cream stand, suburbs.

And that's where the creativity comes in. I'll try variations, and combinations.

I'll usually keep the other dial low at first. That's called "Cycles". At a minimum you want 20. It's what tells the AI how hard to work on giving what you want. You eat up points or tokens when you are working on these, and those cost money (or you can earn them free but it's worth it to just subscribe. It's really not that expensive for a basic tier).

The AI will try to evolve the picture 20 times to give you what you want.

When I am ready for the final product, I'll crank it to 40-50 to get what I want. Originaly, I left this value alone.

There are other nobs and dials you can use, such as the VAE. This is the "Encoder". I really couldn't tell you too much about it. I keep that basically the default. However, different ones act as a regulator for the model.

Then there is "face fix" or "adetailer" or whatever the site calls something that goes in and tries to check things like hands. For whatever reason, AI is really stupid when it comes to hands. It's a known issue. Using those burns more points, but it's sometimes worth it to turn it on.

Anyway, I have about 30-40 pictures that I might have used for every picture I post, some of which are bad ass, but they just don't work. A great example is in NIS Breeder, there is a point where I am showing the NIS Program in Japan. I went with everyone's butts facing the camera, and the teacher standing on a pedestal teaching.

Some of the pictures were great, but ultimately I chose that one. It sucks, because there are so many I want to share with you. However, I also don't want to bomb my story with nothing but illustrations so I try to keep it to usually one picture per chapter, and no more than 3 per chapter.

Once I have that selected, I usually upscale it and start inpainting. That's where you tell the AI to make it look better. In the early days, I didn't know how to do it, so the background will be much fuzzier.

The AI will go through and make everything look more detailed.

Unfortunately, sometimes TOO detailed, and over produced. I have to play with settings there as well. It may make the woman's butt look too dimpled and wrinkled, for instance as it makes real skin instead of the more idealized smooth skin. It'll put freckles, moles, etc.

So, then once I have the upscaled picture, still not done. I start "in painting". Let's say it added pubic hair where I didn't want the character to have any. I may circle that area and tell it to get rid of it. I have to adjust the strength of the AI and inpainting to how subtle the change needs to be and check it. I may have to do that a few times. It will sometimes draw a dick where a pussy should be, or make two heads instead of one.

After a few inpaintings, then I go in and shrink the picture down to a smaller resolution so it doesn't dominate the screen.

I start adding my own touches. Usually, it's so subtle you won't notice, and that's the point. However, if you look closely you may see an NIS logo added to a sticker, or the actual name of the high school. I put Japanese words on the chalk board, and made it look like chalk writing.

The chances someone speaks Japanese looking at my picture is probably not high, but it's an easter egg just for them, I guess.

In one picture, I tried to add a Rottweiler chasing the big titty woman down the road as she jogged in the nude.

However, the AI only gave me cute, fuzzy, lovable dogs. I changed the story a little to account for her THINKING the dog was going to bite her ass, when in reality it wasn't.

I also try to give every picture a caption that summarizes the action.

I don't bother with logos or watermarks and stuff to claim the picture as my own. If it gets shared on a porn site or something, that's awesome. I don't care if I get credit. However, I DO NOT SHARE THESE ELSEWHERE.

The only place you'll see this work (if I post it) is on SOL. I haven't found a site better than this one. I've posted some of my stuff on Literotica, and other sites. Fan Fiction is often looked down upon here, but other sites are DEDICATED to fan fiction, so I put it there.

However, I have found no site that is as responsive, or makes it as easy for an author as SOL. I feel appreciated here by the admins, and I like it. I am almost 100% exclusively on this site.

I wanted to share all that with you, because I thought you may be interested in how the sausage is made. It's not just "Go to site and magic".

As I learn more and more, you'll see better and better quality in my stories. I'd imagine there are some people who don't even bother with my writing and just look at the dirty pictures.

To them I say "I don't give a fuck, do whatever you enjoy."


However, I like to think that if the sizzle of the pictures pulls you in and you'd like to understand the context of the scenario behind them, then you'll stay for the story.

I won't provide the links to these sites in my blog. I don't think Lajeez wants us linking other sites. However, if you are truly interested in farting around with AI I can help you get started just like I did by suggesting a site that I found made the process super easy.

It's also very affordable, around 10 bucks a month (USD) for a subscription, so it's worth the price of a cheese burger just to see if you like it and not have to be stingy with points.

What story do you like most?

I am closing in 1,000 followers. A great milestone to hit on here. This is the only site I post on.

I have a few regular friends that email me here regularly, act as sounding boards, help me with finding mistakes in my work, etc and share ideas.

However, most of the time it's fairly solitary work in a vacuum.

I've some questions to ask.

I have recently become much better with AI art, and have been including it a lot in my stories to enhance and add to the story.

I recently posted a "Three Hole Golf Tournament" story as part of my anthology with some pictures that took the better part of an evening to produce.

https://storiesonline.net/s/31531/proper-women-an-anthology-of/12

I am not a fan of short stories, because once I fall in love with a character I want to keep living through them. However, I felt this was a good one. Short stories also have a pacing that only allows for the "Good stuff" and are written differently than long stories.

What I learned with my anthology though, is that most people won't read the last stories. I am not sure why. I guess they read the first story and maybe don't like that one, and so they give up after a few stories.

However, each one is different. The first few stories weren't the absolute best ones. What happened was readership dramatically dropped, which is unfortunate because I feel that the Golf story probably should have been it's own separate story and maybe would have been read more.

It's not that I care about "stats" of votes and readers. What I care about is sharing stories that potentially inspire people to write stories I enjoy.

If hardly anybody except a few determined perverts make it to chapter 12, then I failed.

So, I closed the anthology and from now on if I post a short story it will be standalone.

Thoughts?

My second question is about pacing for NIS: Breeder Program and visiting Aunt Scarlet.

NIS has 75 chapters, and I am on chapter 28. I've been posting about one chapter per day as I finish editing.

However, I usually throw in a Visiting Aunt Scarlet, which is currently up to chapter 24. I've only posted chapter 10.

The questions that I have is which one do you like best, and why?

Would you rather I focus on editing only one?

Readership is about even on them, but I think more people prefer the NIS story. The problem is that it will be ages before I can share Visiting Scarlet if I wait that long. (well about 60 days to be fair).

This story sat unloved for years and I vowed to finish it. I finally found a way forward with the story and have been inspired to do just that.

I'd like to know what people prefer? is the pacing good on posting? are you enjoying one over the other?

Give me some constructive feedback.
