This was such a good find for me! A great experiment for sure. And I hope you continue! It's perfectly readable, but it's making sure it hand holds you through every single image and scene, then explains that scene or image to you, then makes sure we absolutely did understand, so explains it again. This is AI trying to be perfect and not trusting the reader. It's also very bland and generic, especially the safe wording throughout the sex, as others have said. Please let it write some more and maybe add in a curveball and see whether it knows what to do with it or just ignores it.

I’ve got a lifetime of personal research on men who don’t know what they want. 😂

Empathy's never been the villain.

Love your writing! Look forward to reading more Taggart / Taggert 😉

@Mikiesboy you’re right, it’s a shame we don’t have a worm to fix us. Although @weinerdog has already found the first practical problem: world peace would be shit for the job market. 😂 Really enjoyed this one.

I think Taggart knows perfectly well he’s being played. I’m just not sure he cares anymore. Years of discipline and then these two turn up looking like that... good luck, General.

@CincyKris I hate that you’ve got me rooting for the worms now. 🐛

I liked how uncomplicated this was. Sometimes it’s nice to read two people who know what they want. Unlike my writing. 😂

Leonard in the Prada suit and Elijah suddenly forgetting how phones work... yeah, Jenny saw that correctly. Really enjoying the way this is written.

OK, you've got my attention.

I’m with @Gary L here. I didn’t find it especially sad by the end, more like relief after years of polishing the lie. And @Jeff Burton may have nailed it: if we’re going to live with regrets, they should at least be honest ones.

I’m not sure leaving is the brave choice here. Kent calls it protecting them both, but it also lets him avoid finding out whether they could have built a life beside each other without crossing the line.

@centexhairysub @Daddydavek @Cane23 I might be wrong, but I'm side-eyeing the bank more than the Yoders at this point. Pushing the auction before all the lenders are lined up doesn't sit right with me.

"Go put ice on that, you fucking idiot." That's annoyingly adorable.

"That person is funny." Four years late, but Riley finally got the compliment.

Margot breathing internally made me laugh. And I’m already looking forward to seeing what Ryder considers “something nice.”

Poor Levi. He finally starts feeling attraction and it's attached to exactly the wrong surname.

Isaac quietly sitting on a pile of photographs feels far too convenient. I don’t trust anyone in this town now.

I only went camping once, with the Scouts, and I hated it. I don’t remember sleeping at all. I just lay there for most of the night, staring at my mate in the sleeping bag next to me and wondering how anyone could look so cute while being comfortable sleeping on the ground. He was straight, of course. They always seemed to be back then, and you couldn’t exactly ask. I also managed to lose my grandad’s penknife while I was there. My mum had given it to me to use, and I remember searching everywhere for it, getting more and more desperate as it became obvious I wasn’t going to find it. I felt awful having to tell her. It probably wasn’t worth much, but it had belonged to him, and that made it feel irreplaceable. Forty years later, I still feel guilty whenever I think about it. So perhaps that one camping trip explains more than I realised. A lot of my writing seems to come back to the same things: longing for straight men, wanting what I can’t have, and carrying unresolved guilt around for decades. At least I’ve finally found a use for it all. 😂🤣😩

Same. For a second I thought it was one of the VBS kids. I think Beth is a star.

That bothered me too. His mother controls the story, the pills and even the appointments. Caleb barely gets a voice in any of it.

Well, that was one dramatic road trip. Enjoyed it.

This feels like the point where patience stops being kindness and starts becoming self-punishment. Neil’s fear is understandable, but Alex cannot keep paying the price for it.

I’m really enjoying how naturally this is developing. Great writing.

“Just a mate,” says Alex, while Neil quietly moves into every corner of his life. Hmm.
