    Coming Soon, Really

    I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.

    This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.

    Twilight's Enigmatic Clarification (AI ≠ LLM GAI)

    To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

    I will be at Trotcon. Still alive.

    I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.

    I will be at Trotcon.

    Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) :pinkiesad2:

    I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.

    I am still alive and also at AnthrOhio

    Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. :facehoof:

Ow and Request · 2:31am Aug 13th, 2021

My broken wrist is almost healed, but I just broke another rib by coughing. I'm OCD with allergies, constant cough and clearing throat. Popcorn shell in throat led to coughing fit, rib break. :fluttercry:

.

I'd pay a lot for a tool to search and replace all "Anon" on Fimfiction with any name. Thousands of awful stories would suddenly be readable! :yay:

Can't help on the anon front but sending you good vibes with hope you heal quickly.

Sending you as much healing as possible over electrons. Stay safe. Well, safer than you've been.

"So, Rudolph Hainesport Fenton III, how did this happn," asked twilight with a puzzled expression.

Rudolph Hainesport Fenton III shrugged. "Search and replace, I think."

1) Stop hurting self. That's just a really bad hobby to take up.

2) I find that "anon" stories come in many flavors just like everything else. I find them amusing when they work and ignorable when they don't.

3) Did mention get better soon? Please do.

Ow is right—I do hope you heal quickly, and stay that way.

Thousands of awful stories would suddenly be readable!

That is greatly... optimistic of you. I feel like your pain killers may be highly suspect.
I mean, the usual primer-gray veneer of Anon's character depth is a hard negative to overcome.

I'm OCD with allergies, constant cough and clearing throat.

Maybe some kind of air purification would be able to help?

I'd pay a lot for a tool to search and replace all "Anon" on Fimfiction with any name.

What's wrong with "Anon F. Aggot"? Sounds like pretty regular name :rainbowlaugh:

Sending you positive thoughts and hugs, Trixie. Blessed be.

Don't hug too tightly, her ribs are sensitive right now.

Seriously though, wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself, Trix.

Yeah, I got me a new one of those recently. It helps a little. I'm allergic to dust mite feces which is literally everywhere, especially in my room where dusting is difficult and I shed all my skin. Also mold spores. My immune system is kind of like a samurai screaming, "NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!" every five minutes when something harmless wanders by

I wouldn't know, I'd have to read a story with them in it first. :V

Thanks to all else for whom I have not responded yet. :heart:

This tool would work for replacing anon: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/word-replacer-ii/djakfbefalbkkdgnhkkdiihelkjdpbfh?hl=en

Not sure how much it would help with the rest of the story.

I hear that's how the kids these days say they like you. :V

Seriously, though, I'm just forever annoyed at the Anon trope. It's supposed to be an everyman, I think, but it's exactly the opposite, and writers WILL NOT STOP USING IT. :facehoof:

To solve the Anon problem, just run the text through the Smurf Translator, then sed ‘s/Anon/Handy Smurf/g’ the result. Would likely improve a majority of them.

Ow. I am sorry about that. Good luck, with your health, again.

As to your request, though, sorry; my ability to code is nowhere near whatever that might need, as far as I know.

...Oh, right, though as another commenter appears to have pointed out finding software someone else wrote would also be a potential option. I hope that that works for you! If not, I'm not thinking of any of those either, though, sorry.

Something like that box? In principle it should be able to catch everything that flies inside room.

... and I shed all my skin
