good news, everyone! eliezer is writing fiction again
So if you read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, and thought... …
"glowfic" apparently. written in a roleplay forum format.
This is not a story for kids, even less so than HPMOR. There is romance, there is sex, there are deliberately bad kink practices whose explicit purpose is to get people to actually hurt somebody else so that they'll end up damned to Hell, and also there's math.
start here. or don't, of course.
You're viewing a single thread.
Ok, I tried giving it a fair shake, and I guess it's got the same problem as every other forum roleplay: it's fun to roleplay, not fun to read someone else's roleplay.
Yeah, that's where I'm at. I don't think this is Yud doing HPMOR and trying to rope randos into rationality. Well, maybe he's trying to rope the non-rat glowfic enjoyers, idk. In any case, this is Yud playing with a pal and having fun, I guess? Take that as you will.
As long as he's writing collab forum pr0n and not hindering the creation of the Acausal Robot God, it's all good.
Edit Yud is living disproof of the thesis that spending a large number of hours doing something makes one good at it.
I kind of wish there was a space in awful.systems to dunk on malcolm gladwell et al but it’s probably a little too far removed from stem fuckery.
If you haven’t listened to the “outliers” episode of the “if books could kill” podcast, i recommend it!
If books could kill is so much fun.
glowfic enjoyers
A real category?
Seems like a write-only medium.
But then, LitRPG also exists, much to my confusion and dismay.
Dawg, I wish it weren't real, but here we are.
