	A Question that comes to mind while editing the next Entry. Which is Long, very long.(cause I love showing off lewd stuff *cough*)  I'm now on 142 panels and still need to make a few more for the Chapter Ending.
</p>

<p>
	So, simple Question, when do you think a Chapter is too long? <span class="ipsEmoji">?</span>

	I'm sorry if this topic has already been thought up before, but has anyone ever wanted to turn their story into a mod?
</p>

<p>
	I've thought about it and I might create a companion mod with one of my characters, I'm just not good at creating pretty presets, I usually use presets I found on the nexus,so there's that. 
</p>

<p>
	Anyone already did this for fallout 4? I'd love downloading a character with extended lore on this site 🩵

	So I have an idea for say a combat or any kind of scene where damage is taken incrementally over the course of events. Wounds get added from attacks and they should stack and not disappear screen to screen.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I could do this in clipstudio/photoshop ect painstakingly adding some (probably ultimately trash looking) wounds just as photoshop edits.<br />
	<br />
	I could also use body dds files..say I already have one that has the wounds placed on it...maybe from a really good wound texture mod on nexus or something (so it looks good)
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	So the body DDS file will just look better...being subject to skyrims existing mesh and lighting ect. I can make this DDS but its just for one single "wound state". But I want wounds to progress as scene goes...so I can make many DDs files...all showing an increasing progression of wounds.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I can make any one of them the "official" body texture file by just renaming it to the main sourced file name...
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	But doing that mid game...it doesnt matter the game will stick with whatever body texture was there when it first loaded.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	So I think the answer may ultimately be just "use photoshop it's easier" but I am still going to ask as if theres a way around it I think using pre-loaded textures is better looking.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Is there a way to reset and have skyrim reload the texture files used for the body...mid game? That way I can make a scene progress without closing the game and just rename files as I need to make the wounds show up...
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Is that possible?
</p>

	I was thinking that some people may be interested in this one, seeing as it is erotica.
</p>

<p>
	It is from an LL club centered around its own fictional universe, and it stars a female orc in the lead role.

<p>
	We started an interesting discussion this weekend on the storytelling Discord server without a satisfying conclusion. In fact everybody seemed puzzled about the topic. 
</p>

<p>
	The question was how important are written moans and screams during sex and combat scenes when telling a visual story via screenshots.
</p>

<p>
	All the "uuhs" and "aahhhs", both of pleasure and of pain during combat.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Does it actually add something or do most people just write something because they feel the have to?
</p>

<p>
	It'd be great to get some opinions on that topic!
</p>

<p>
	Does it add anything?
</p>

<p>

	I have another case of awkward memory loss, where I have read a few stories here from an LL-author and simply failed to bookmark it and can't find it again by browsing. <span><img alt=":classic_blush:" data-emoticon="" src="https://www.loverslab.com/resources/emoticons/default_blush.png" title=":classic_blush:" /></span>
</p>

<p>
	And since our own older posts are cut away with the new software, I can't search there anymore.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	So please, if my memory snippets ring a bell, please post me a hint where to find that story again.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		A female mage as the main character
	</li>
	<li>
		a male companion
	</li>
	<li>
		She has more than one life and uses them up frequently, because she keeps losing battles
	</li>
	<li>
		Last story I remember was a fight in a cave with an undead draugr. The male companion lost his life in that fight.
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	And of course, anybody with a similar lack of bookmarks may add her/his own search here.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Edit: [solved] <span class="ipsEmoji">✅</span> But all, please feel welcome to continue using this thread for your own lost+found queries.

<p>
	There are some questions every story creator may wonder about. Before the club, asking a more experienced author was the way to go. But now, as a community, we have the possibility to share both questions and answers among us.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	So here we go, feel free to ask questions, and feel free to answer as well ! <img alt="Rainbow-dash-megaphone-gif-Derpicdn.gif" class="ipsImage" data-ratio="55.04" height="470" style="width:128px;height:auto;" width="854" src="https://i.postimg.cc/tJst757B/Rainbow-dash-megaphone-gif-Derpicdn.gif" /></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	Salutations fellow storytellers;
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	I'm currently using Halo's Poser, Puppet Master, Kinoko Poser and a large amount of SLAL packs for the animations in my story pictures. However; I know there are more pose mods out there and thus; I wish to expand on the amount of animations available so what other pose mods would you recommend and very briefly; why? I'll go ahead and start off:
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	I use Halo Poser for the sheer amount of poses available as well as it's user-friendliness; there's a colossal amount of animations to be found from pinups to objects, pairs and many animations which can be utilized for many different purposes. It also has it's fair share of combat related poses and it also includes a section for male specific poses. As an added bonus; Halo's Poser mod allows you to also use the poses on NPCs which in my opinion makes it a must-have for storytellers who rely on images to help convey and/or support their stories.
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	I use puppet master to quickly access a small selection of bondage related poses for my player character. NPCs can also be setup to use the poses once you recruit them via the spell; "Puppet".
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	I use Kinoko Poser as well; Kinoko Poser doesn't boast a huge amount of poses however they're cute, charming and well worth a shot; it's mostly geared for screenshots IMO but some of the animations are more than usable for stories; e.g. holding up a potion in a hand; observing it; holding up a skull (a trophy from a fallen foe perhaps?), etc.
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	As for SLAL I pretty much installed most of the packs available on LL which gives me a great variety of animations for the erotic scenes - (No idea how to paste the installed animation list from FNIS.)
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	Looking forward to see your recommendations. <span class="ipsEmoji">?</span></p>

<p>
	so far this group has helped me quite a bit with blog recommendations and tutorials (how I found it)
</p>

<p>
	would it be weird to request another thread featuring the non story blogs? there are probably some good ones out there I can't find <span><img alt=":(" data-emoticon="" src="https://www.loverslab.com/resources/emoticons/frown.png" title=":("></span>

<p>
	In the title I guess, main idea is because sometimes LL is quite slow, and I think in a Discord we could more quickly respond to each other. We could also give feedback on each others work quickly. It could also just be a sort of social hub for us.
</p>

<p>
	What are your thoughts?
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	P.S I know this isn't exactly in the right section, but I needed to post it somewhere.
