True, and I do have sneaky clauses like that. Maybe I'm just overthinking all this. This is my world. If I want demons to be able to successfully argue that their decorative border clauses are valid, I can just do it, lol

I suspect what I'm asking may not be possible. I guess I just wondered if there was a way to make it technically fair in the eyes of the law, ya know? Like have a clause in there that implies that the signees is subject to all clauses -- hidden or otherwise. And perhaps that disclosure would...

That's exactly what I do. Won't post the video due to self-promo rules, but a hidden clause in a decorative border is exactly what I want to still be lawful (but plausibly).

Trying to write a fictional law that is legally sound and airtight, but doesn't take the fun out of demonic contract trickery. So, I'm curious: if demons existed in real life, what could they do to still trick people with stuff like what was mentioned in the title, but have a judge still fine it...

Originally wrote this for reddit, hence my use of the word redditors, lol

You often hear writers lament about the increasing use of AI slop in writing circles, and how you can tell immediately that something is generated by AI and it degrades the quality of writing. And I agree it’s a problem. It completely takes the human element out of storytelling – which is...

Welp, I hate the algorithm, lol. I'm now literally getting a handful of views on new posts. I dunno what I did wrong. I'm posting content that my audience likes, they just never see it.

I've considered this as well, and there's definitely some truth to it! I did get quite a bit of genuine engagement, though. Lots of DnD players, lawyers, accountants, etc. My audience, lol

Could be part of it, though I didn't even start my TikTok until after these changes came into effect. Just thought it was weird that the first did so well, that I finally had a niche people really enjoyed, and now it's all crickets. Posted two videos yesterday that each got under 50 views.

I write in a very niche genre (fantasy legalese), but a ton of people have expressed interest in my stuff, so I decided to create a TikTok. Initially, it went well, my first video getting 27k views! Was all super excited, and I was still getting 700-1k views in subsequent videos. But recently...

I've posted it a few places where there's a lot of DnD/TTRPG players, and they seemed to like it. Been really trying to find a place where actual lawyers can rip it apart, though. Every legal subreddit I've looked at won't allow it.

Gotcha, sorry about that. Didn't use the workshop because it's way too long to put in a post (the long document itself is 62 pages right now).

Understandable. Unfortunately, the code of regulations alone is 62 pages. If it makes you feel any better, here's a video of me clicking (link deleted)

Hopefully it's okay to post this here. But I'm a former IRS agent who fell in love with tax research. I'm also an aspiring fantasy writer. Somewhere along the way, I decided to combine the two, and begin to write in-depth magical legalese, including an entire code of regulations. I've posted it...

That's a good point. My story definitely focuses on the principles and belief behind these characters, but still wanted the character themselves to be satirical versions of real ones, ya know? And Vought refers to Russell Vought. He's the current head of the Office of Management and Budget in...
