@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialMel and me did a trade. I gave her the draft for Alice in Nuderland so she can improve the text and she sent me chapter fragments of our upcoming #naturist book so I can turn them into a full story.
I saw some of her content, and I can do something with it!
Meanwhile, Alice is being beta read.
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialI didn't even think about that. Thank you. It's a novel, and the main character has her best friend in a meltdown in the middle of the night. She searches for an answer to help her. I might make it more my own. When I cite books, I try to be exact, so I thought if I cite Gemini, I should be too.
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialStupid question to #authors. In my current story, the main character and her friend ask a question to Gemini because they want answers on something. I quote part of the answer, attributing it to Gemini. Is it considered #AI-content if it's explicitely quoted? The rest of the book is human-written.

In short, Julie reconnects with Mindy and goes visit her, after the geography quiz and dance practice, both with Mrs. Sanchez.

@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialCatherine Reynolds was my first popular series, back in 2009. I published cases, and I even had a producer who wanted to make a movie and a fan who translated some in French. Now, it's my newest book on Kindle: www.amazon.com/dp/B0HLQ6ZRKS
The first 9 stories... and the latest 2 exclusively for now
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialI just finished the Crooke and Loch books by @tedbun.bsky.social . It mostly occurs in the UK, where I never went, but I connected with the story, and I can see what these characters experience.
Books allow us a deep dive in an author's mind. Let's all read more books from #naturist authors! [4/4]
@naturist-fiction.bsky.social@naturist-fiction.bsky.social#naturism is a nature and freedom-oriented "culture". You don't need stories or history to swim nude at a beach. To join a non-landed club. You just have to be there.
But that also means that it's instant. In the present. There are no connections between events; no history is needed. [2/4]
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialSo why am I making naturist-books.com and why am I letting authors sign in and post their own books and their own blogs for free? What am I getting out of this?
I truly believe that a culture, survive through its stories. We know a culture by its literature, by its art. #naturism too. [1/4]
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialAre you a #naturist? Are you just interested in #nudism?
Why not read books about #naturism so you can see what other naturists write about?
"But many naturist books are actually exploitative, I don't know which ones are safe"
Well, go to naturist-books.com to find books from many great authors!
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialMy Life So Far #98 is up for free: mylifesofarnovel.com/read/My_life...
In short, the geography quiz with Mrs. Sanchez and a talk with Olivia about the date with Lyndon, after Olivia has some huge news of her own. 2 more before the recital!
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialok, it's what I thought the video was saying. The freedom of someone ends where the freedom of others start! Thank you for posting it!
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialOh sorry I meant that I didn't have time.. My son and his girlfriend are both adults ;-) I will check when j get the chance!
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialSorry, no... I am with part of my family...
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialOh, sure... The paradox isn't really one. My freedom ends where your start. And yours stops where mine starts. And my tolerance for you Is dependent on your tolerance for me. I would say more, but I don't have enough space in this format.
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialI might be wrong, but since naturism is a sort of synonym of freedom, won't ethical naturist mean ethical freedom as in, respect each other? Just asking...
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialnaturist-books.com now allows to login via Fluxer!
"But Eric, I already connected my Bluesky account" Well, you can connect both. I need to approve each of them, but both will lead to the same user account.
And yes, now I allow login for "bloggers and reviewers" (it's the same role)
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialIf Amanda in Love is too low quality for artists, why am I wasting energy with AI to make it? Why am I keeping it up for sale when no one buys it anyway? But if someone does make another naturist graphic for sale, won't this bad book compete with them? So, I removed it. It won't be missed. [3/3]
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialAnd my reply was "Because it sucks" So I thought, if it sucks too much to hire someone, why keep it alive via AI? I know why artists hate AI, it steals work from them. I knew that, but now, I see it another way. It also CHEAPENS their work. It allows bad graphics to be made easily. [2/3]
@naturist-fiction.bsky.socialI normally post new features or new books. Today, it's the opposite: I am removing one of my books. The AI "Graphic Novel" Amanda in Love. I now realize how hurtful AI graphics are for artists, and a person I respect a lot asked me: "Why don't you just hire an artist to redo it?" [1/3]
