David RevoyGenerated Lessons
VANTABlack@davidrevoy Great Comic as always. It's fun to see the world grow with other characters also getting Avian Intelligences.
KewlCat@davidrevoy " … really using yours?!" (with an s)

(sorry)
@KewlCat Don't be sorry! Thank you for finding and reporting a typo! I'll update it later on the main website.
Daniel, aka. CactiChameleon9@davidrevoy @KewlCat I just assumed she could bring herself to finish the sentence your ___

I didn't see a typo. I thought the other character, eager to reply, had just interrupted the young witch's question.

Ygor@MurrayWindripper @davidrevoy @KewlCat But then there would have to be an em dash— which is kind of apropos when talking about AI.
@ygor
I've not heard of the em dash being used in that context before. I tend to use an ellipsis ... although I'm not sure if that is even grammatically correct. Is the em dash country specific?

@davidrevoy @KewlCat
@MurrayWindripper @ygor @davidrevoy in that context (interrupting another character) I'd imagine that the second speech bubble would overlap on the first one
@KewlCat @MurrayWindripper @ygor True, the three em dash, three dots, and overlap (and probably more) are techniques to show interruption.
On my latest episode of Pepper&Carrot, I used the em dash one in English, and many translation choose to keep it this way. That's because I feel ... marks a pause or the tone going done, and my borderless speechbubbles don't allow me easy overlaps.
I'll fix your → yours :)
@KewlCat @MurrayWindripper @ygor A follow up: after reading the FR translation who assumed it was an interruption with '...' I felt it sounded pretty good. I went this way ( fixed in https://framagit.org/peppercarrot/webcomics/-/merge_requests/1198/diffs?commit_id=dc8d0767b34dcb4caac8caa739fa260f5e9ce80a ) and the result is here: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/037.html 🙂
gramAvian Intelligence, what's the magic rune for a sea horse?

perry@davidrevoy I'd love to read all the mini fantasy theater as a book

Magic runic alphabet! 〰️💩😆

I love these!
I can imagine writing short stories about that character

If you don't know it, you should read the main comics Pepper&Carrot https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/
It's licensed under CC-by and there is a wiki to help with using the world and characters for your own stories https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/wiki/
Now, I wonder what kind of chaos *you* could unleash with your stories 🤭
@koalou
I have seen the odd one pop up here, and really like the style and topics. But I had not really looked further than that.
What did you have in mind? Were you thinking I would expand on one of David's characters and take it down a grimmer path, or were you thinking David could use some of my story themes or characters? Or maybe a bit of both?
Also, were you mainly thinking the short story stuff, or the Princess of Darkness?
Having skimmed over the website, I am intrigued.
@screwturn
I do love your Princesses of Darkness :3
It would be funny to have one cross Pepper’s path, get targeted by a spell like the one in Spell of War (ep 33), and have to work around it, for instance 🤭
Switching topics slightly.
Thanks for the edits and suggestions.
To answer your question, yes, Joy and Colette had a child, Adèle. I started her story, but switched to May and Deirdre. I will get back to Adèle.
One of the hurdles was that I needed the timeline to evolve first. Joy is probably in her thirties when May comes on the scene, and May is in her early twenties with Deirdre.
That makes Joy about right to have Adèle.
The other hurdle was doing Adèle as first person
@screwturn
You're welcome! Ngl, I was afraid you'd be mad at me for that one overall impression 🙈
Thanks for the timeline! Would be great if you could work it into the stories themselves. Maybe in the descriptions when they meet each other? Or in the descriptions of Alice and Kat (unless enby magic makes them young forever, like comics characters? 😛)
Although… If I understand it right, that makes Joy 40-ish¹ when she has Adèle? You might want to look into regulations on assisted pregnancies². I know there is an age limit at 45 in France and the procedure takes over a year³ (a Friend is currently going through that and it's actually easier for her because she's single).
Obviously, Joy has the means to do it anywhere, and the US might not be as limiting in the first place 🤷 But maybe she needs to "push things along" and Adèle learns about it in her book? 😇
Yes, I remember a snippet in the first person, that was fun. I understand it's harder to write, I was simply afraid I missed you posting it as a short story or something. Take your time.
1: and some cool enbies over 50?
2: don't know the proper term, sorry
3: most of it is admin work and waiting, and waiting some more to get medical exams at the right time in the cycle.

Woah, will future archaeologists puzzle over our emojis as we do ancient sumerian, and wonder how we lost the ability to use the phonetic alphabet?

@davidrevoy Oh yeah, looks like it tapped into some quality data. 😆
I just love the Avian's designs. All smooth, but kinda huggable, too.
Paolo Redaelli@davidrevoy silly me for not boosting it here instead of on the notorious #proprietary #SocialNetwork
四@davidrevoy That stereotypical elf is weirdly funny to me. Feels like it could have been inspired by many other works :)
(Also realized that you post the English comic and not the French. Do you write both yourself? I don’t know French myself I’m afraid, but I assume it’s the origin language:))
@yon For MiniFantasyTheater, I write them directly in English (leading to some biohazard mistakes sometimes ^^ like in this one "your→yours").
The French version is fully maintained by @Nartance (a big thank you again!) , I merged and rendered the MR this morning https://www.peppercarrot.com/fr/miniFantasyTheater/037.html

Tricks you can incorporate into your comic (has potential)
1) Use the paid Pro model (depending on the provider, a few applications per time unit may be free)
2) Use the think function; AI will think about the answer for several seconds to minutes. (may be limited in free mode, depending on the provider)
3) Give the AI explicit instructions instead of giving it complete free rein.
PS: Generally speaking, with AI providers, unregistered users receive significantly poorer results than registered users, who in turn receive poorer results than paying users.
Cheaper users are given cheaper but weaker models, and expensive thinking (reasoning) is restricted .
@sam4000 Thank you for the leads; I have a brainstorming paragraph at the top of my scenario.md file; I'll copy/paste them on the top for future exploration.
Paul McManus@davidrevoy Fabulous. I love it. 🤣
@paulmc 
Thank you!
Thank you!@davidrevoy He's got the BS all wrong! It stands for Belief System; the exact opposite of disbelief.

Khaleer@davidrevoy em, akszually, the first one, water is called "TELO" in toki pona 🤓
@khaleer 
Oh nice, I invented it but a part of me was almost sure a simple and cute glyph like that was used somewhere. Good to know it's Toki Pona 💜

Markus Redeker 🐘@davidrevoy @khaleer And it is almost an “n” hieroglyph 𓈖 (Symbol N35 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Egyptian_hieroglyphs#N). If a symbol is simple enough, it appears everywhere!
MKSC@davidrevoy Finally, a chapter that shows the positive stuff of AI!
