Yeah, on the old version when I zoom in to the point that the comic page is about twice the width of my screen I can see a faint line that might be pink.

Anyone who thinks that's suggestive is trying too hard.

Honestly yeah that little pink line being suggestive is a bit of a stretch.

I mean, as long as we're talking about when the comic is being implicitly lewd, here's a dragon obviously watching Trace and Flora having sex: http://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/342/
Here's evidence that dragons, in general, are not blasé about sex, indicating that Nora is enjoying the sight for lewd reasons: http://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/958/
And to top if off, here's a hint that Nora might have gone futher with Trace than just watching: http://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/402/

Machine translation isn't good enough to tell me whether this is a negative or positive connotation :grin:

Well, others did. I was still four years out from even reading Twokinds, and more from joining the forums or making noise. I just have some familiarity with the archives owing to various projects. (This particular thing I found when I was doing my analysis of visual changes in the comic after the archive update.)

One half of it going completely off the rails over an obviously irrelevant detail, and the other half going off the rails arguing with the first half over going off the rails. So not anything particularly susceptible to a numerical analysis, I'm afraid :grin:

I have never thought of using google translate on that phrase. And let me tell you: the results it is way off. However artificial intelligence has a lot of problems dealing with context and in this case it would need a priori knowledge of what I am actually referencing. So I am not surprised.

On the contrary Mr Agamemnon. Anything is suceptible to numerical analysis if you pay enough attention. Like in this case information like that can help me profile the fandom and perhaps even figure out just why is this thing so appealing for some people!
On that matter this correlates to my previous experiences in other fandoms i have been a part of. People obsess over little details especially if there is something even remotely sexy or inappropriate about it.

That sound a bit too harsh don't you think? Reading the whole panel shuffle I mean. The perv box is manageable.

Earlier tonight I tried an online grammar-checker, Grammarly, on a sample of my writing. It found a bunch of things to complain about... mostly names that it thought were misspelled, or that it didn't recognize as names. (I have a character named Wing in the scene in question.) I was kind of surprised that it wanted me to change "Tell Al so he can..." to "Tell also he can..." - so I did it and resubmitted, and there was no complaint about it. Then I put it back, because telling Al something so he could deal with it was actually what I intended. Aside from names, it thought I had too many commas except where I had too few.

(ProWritingAid, even the free version, does much better analysis... but I find its output confusing and hard to work with.)

I haven't found anything computer-based that appropriately recognizes names - mostly, imo, because names are the one thing in English that have no rules whatsoever to guide how they look. I did the majority of my early writing (and current writing, now that I think about it) in MS Word, so I'm fairly used to writing in such a way that Word's grammar checker doesn't yell at me. I assume other online resources operate similar to Word's setup.
I do have a tendency to use commas more than most, though, which I've been trying to figure out if I needed to work on it or not

For me, that was "turn it off" - it was worse than useless.

It's not that bad. IMO, it's one of the better grammar checkers out there. I don't always listen to it, mind you, but it does better than most others I've seen. Especially its spellcheck function

Oh, MSWord's SPELLING checker is a completely different matter. It's good. The only gripe I have with that is that I need a set of custom dictionaries for THIS world and story, and an entirely different set of custom dictionaries for THAT world and story - and changing custom dictionaries is not a smooth and easy process.

I had - may still have somewhere around here - a Word2007 template which, among other things, manages custom dictionaries, keeping a list of them as custom properties of the document, and automatically switching when focus changed from one document to another or when a document is opened or closed. If I remember correctly, I allowed for five custom dictionaries - mostly because more than that didn't fit conveniently on the form.

It's the GRAMMAR checker that I found worse than useless.

But I don't do most of my writing in Word anymore. I use oStorybook - or sometimes Manuskript.
