I often worry that I have done the same thing that the MCU was recently guilty of- introducing way too many plots all at once and having far too many spinoffs and miniseries and whatnot. I really want to reach a point where I have a solid and cohesive story moving forward as opposed to several different ones occurring all at once. At the very least, I would like for them to start tying together more. I know that I've teased a lot of stories and I just feel overwhelmed by all of it at this point.

I find myself facing a moral quandary. I use an AI program to generate images of my characters so that I can design story covers and bring characters to life. But I feel less and less okay with using AI for so many reasons. Aside from environmental concerns, I also worry about what AI is doing for creatives. Knowing that AI is being used to generate stories is pretty bleak to me because I love to write and feel like it's a very emotional and very personal journey for myself. To think that someone can just give a prompt and let a computer do all of that is kind of dystopian to me. I understand that there is a lot of convenience where generating images is concerned but I don't want to rob an artist of their ability to create. If anyone knows of digital artists who fit the aesthetic that I like (photo-realism, I guess), please let me know.

I totally get that. I’m a writer myself. While I think AI is useful, creativity probably isn’t one of them. Maybe it could make an ok editing tool though.

@LuminousAvenger omg this!!!! I wanted to bring it up to u before so many times but found myself wondering if you'd feel offended or not. Also I really liked the previous covers you used in your stories back in 2020
            
            I see a lot of amazing artists on twitter every day if u have a twitter account maybe u can ask them there? They might want commission tho

@LuminousAvenger That's a very understandable concern. I also don't like how AI is being used to replace works that could be done by people. When a story is written by a real person, they put their emotions into it, and those emotions come across to the reader. I wouldn't be able to feel that in something made by a machine.

I love your stories. You're my favorite gay fanfiction writer. I've always preferred fanfiction with original characters to stories about character pairings. I love the Thor and Lumen stories. I loved your idea for a Leon Kennedy story, I've always wanted to read a gay story about him, and I think you'd do a great job.

@all2222244444 Thank you so much for saying this! Sometimes I get discouraged or feel like my work isn't really impacting people. It feels good to read this kind of feedback!

Okay. Because I can’t get it out of my head and Leon Scott Kennedy is one of my favorite RE daddies, I’m going to try to write a really gay retelling of Resident Evil 4. Drop your thoughts, ideas or wishes below please and thank you!

@Mukuro68 the story started to feel really intrusive for me to write. I may pick it up at some point but for now it just felt kind of weird for me to write.

I had a dream about Resident Evil 4 last night. Instead of searching for the president’s daughter, it’s his son. Leon gets to the church and finally secures him. It turns out that he and Leon had secretly been lovers. After making sure the president’s son is unharmed, Leon takes his chin and tilts his head back so he can look down into his eyes. Then Leon says “it’s going to be okay. You’re safe. Daddy’s here now”. SWWWOOOONNNN!

A huge surprise is coming to the Lumenverse soon. I haven’t been able to talk to anyone about it so the only person who knows is me. I am practically bursting at the seams to reveal it but I can’t yet. Just know that something special is coming and I can’t wait to read everyone’s reactions to it.

I’m so sorry for being absent so much. The holidays were busy and then I had to have surgery. I’m recovering now and doing much better today. I want to get back to writing more again. I want to tell stories again. I have so many plans for the Avengers that I want to explore. I would love some inspiration from everyone, whether it’s in the form of feedback or cool ideas you’d love to see be explored in the Lumenverse.

@LuminousAvenger I'm so glad to hear from you dear author. And please never feel obligated to write if you don't feel like it. Most of the authors I've made friends with lost inspiration because they felt obligated to write. I'm just happy to know you're here still.
