With GW being rather prudish these days I don't think they would want to explore Slaaneshi Mechanicus much, lmfao.

My second book's prologue and first chapter have released. You do not need to have read the first book to understand it. It has a rather different theme and vibe from the first, but is set in the same universe. Updates will be weekly! https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/74149/stardust-marathon
The second chapter is now out!
Third chapter is out. Surprised I can keep on schedule heh.
In the interests of not clogging this thread I'll announce updates in that thread. Anyways, the fourth chapter is out!
Fifth chapter is out and it's a larger one.
6th chapter is out, I started a romance subplot.

Will there be a love triangle?
Honestly, very likely.

Forgor to announce the fifth chapter here. Anyways the sixth one is out and it includes the start of a romance plot.

I think the best advice I've ever seen on that front, is "When in doubt, don't. You don't actually need a romance subplot."

There's also just keeping it offscreen as much as possible. If you can't write it, don't write it, just make some kind of oblique mention or have characters stand closer to each other than they used to or something. Folks in a relationship can be pretty private, so lean on that and don't force yourself to write something awkward :P
Well part of why I'm doing it is to learn because I never really wrote one before, and I learn by practice.

Trying to get a romance subplot started in writing is hard. Especially without making it sound like the characters are sock puppets.

I mean in my case, one of them is an alien with a culture with different attitudes towards love so that can help cover up the awkwardness but it's still clunky.

Do I smell a thread lock?

The fifth chapter is a bit longer than the previous ones and has more descriptions and worldbuilding.

Best of wishes to him!

lol

I think I'm keeping my current rotation of PFPs. They're really old, and I have different ones everywhere else, but these are iconic.

Remembered another chaos xenos race, there's a Khornate daemon world that goes through cycles. Powerful champion arrives, turns the world into a massive gladiatorial world dedicated to themself, rules for ages, maybe gets overthrown and replaced a few times, eventually tensions boil up and everyone dies in a combined slave revolt and attempted coups. All the while a race of alien beetle-men serve as slaves, prodding things along to keep the cycle going, because it is their world and they are farming the offworlders for a grand sacrifice to Khorne. At the end of each cycle they arm up, ensure everyone else on the planet is completely destroyed, then the powerful ones go back into hiding and wait for the next cycle. Can't remember their name at the moment, they were in a novel I read about a decade ago.
Wow, this is such a cool idea. I love the space WH has for things like that.
I wish GW gave more spotlight to minor xenos.

I like the Hrud in particular. They're basically 40K Skaven! Except they literally age everything around them to death.

I have no issue with independent use of AI, or crawling of works by AI, because let's be honest I have a very lax view of intellectual property. After all, nothing is lost in training, so I simply cannot consider scraping to be theft. I use art AI for PFPs in places and text AI for RP.

However, commercial use of AI should be regulated as it can put writers out of a job. I don't think it should be completely banned but pure AI work should not be copyrightable. Which the strike did good enough so I'm happy.

I won't care if someone scraped my work into an AI model. Saying this as an author btw.

Also PTW I like Warhammer.
