20 questions for fic writers!

tagged by @chubsthehamster- thanks!

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

2. What’s your total ao3 word count?

487,170

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Whatever I get stuck on at any given moment. My most recent ones are 9-1-1, Inception, ATS and Hawkeye, but my repeat fandoms are Spn, X-Men, The Old Guard and Black Sails.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

I'm copying chubs and doing my personal favorites, because my top four kudos'd fic are all for the same fandom (The Old Guard) and written within like three weeks of each other.

The Scroll of Saint Barnabas (9-1-1, Buddie, 15k): recency bias, but I had a lot of fun with this one. I also probably drove my girlfriend*and cousin insane during the writing process. Sorry about that. The basic premise is: we all know how time loop fics go, but what if after the loop is broken the character has PTSD from all the things that nobody else remembers? And also what if you get a knotted dildo hooked onto your permanent retainer? *though we've now established consent and parameters for whether we can have sex if one of us is stuck in a time loop. It's always important to have these conversations in advance!!!

What The Moon Was Saying (Spn, destiel, 16k.) It's about Dean rescuing Cas from the Empty, technically, but it's also about Dean working through things he refuses to think about directly, and it's also about the perspective of dead characters who aren't all-knowing and have no clue what happened after they died, and it's also about Inanna's Descent into the Underworld and how many jokes about Sumerian mythology I could fit in there that probably nobody else is going to think are funny but I think are funny, and it's also about what issues Orpheus would have had if he'd succeeded. The central thesis statement is that Margaritaville is thee Dean Winchester Mental State song.

The Mixtape, Or: Six Things You Learn in Thursday School (Spn, destiel, 6k.) I always had this idea that I was going to write a fantasy book of some kind, where the first part would be about the founding of a religion and then the following parts would jump ahead a few hundred years and see how that religion and that original story change in the telling. Instead of writing that book I wrote 6,000 words about a post-apocalyptic religion whose foundational text was the Winchester Gospels, except they don't actually have the Winchester Gospels, so they're relying on collected ephemera and thirdhand accounts. It is also about both academic and online discourse.

The House on Graymalkin Lane (X-Men, background cherik, 92k.) My nice little outsider-POV x-men haunted house fic. It started out as "the x-mansion would be a bonkers haunted house" and then it turned into a love letter to the original timeline (we barely knew ye). It's about the mortifying ordeal of being in high school and also about how all my grandparents died at once and I had a lot of complicated feelings about that.

The Ill-Made Knight (X-Men, cherik, 1.5k) OK so you know that trope that's like "if anyone is going to kill me I want it to be you"?? it's that, but instead of being used as a statement of everlasting love and devotion, it's being used as psychological warfare. And also kind of a statement of everlasting love. But in a fucked up sort of way. Because Cherik.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! I didn't used to but I do now because I always like it when people reply to mine. Sometimes I miss them and respond years later but like... I got there eventually?

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

the whole estate of mortal man. (Black Sails, silverflint, 40k.) Silver is immortal but has a very impermanent self. Flint is mortal and has a very permanent self. There was only one way that was ever going to end and I stand by it.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Of recent ones, I guess The Most Fun A Girl Can Have? (Kate/Yelena, 8k.) They're having a pretty good time for most of it.

8. Do you get hate on fic?

Not since like, high school.

9. Do you write smut?

Nope. Hats off to smut writers, you're doing God's work. It's very difficult.

10. Do you write crossovers?

I haven't, unless you count every Marvel fic being a crossover. And Good Omens show/book. But that seems like a cop-out.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I know.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! Some very kind people translated The Punishment of Sisyphus (Black Sails crackfic) and Antebellum (Black Sails, Anne & Eleanor fic) into Russian, Stalefish (Old Guard, Nile-centric) into Polish, and Kidnapping for Dummies (Old Guard, Joe shenanigans) into Spanish. I can only read the Spanish one.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yessss. The #ImmortalHusbands Conspiracy (The Old Guard social media fic) with @phoenix-acid. That was very fun.

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Why would you ask me this. This is cruel. I can barely pick a top 5.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably won’t?

The Marvel pirate AU, probably. It's almost a complete story on its own as it stands. There's about half a next chapter written and I could probably us that to tie things up, if I cut out a bunch of things, but I'd have to reread all my research. I did way too much research for that.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Character voices? I hope it's character voices. I watch a lot of youtube compilations before writing anyone to try and get a handle on how they talk.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

The actual romance part of a romance. What do you mean they have to get together after I've set everything up so that they get together? Ridiculous.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I've never done it before, but I respect people who can pull it off. I do really hate that trope though where a multilingual character calls their love interest pet names in their mother-tongue, when they are never shown using it that way (or mixing that language and English in a conversation) in canon.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

....percy jackson and the olympians.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Since I listed five favorites up there I'm switching this with the kudos question. Fic with the most kudos is Kidnapping for Dummies (The Old Guard, 3.5k)

Tagging @monstrous-femme @thegeminisage @bomberqueen17 @ellelans @annerbhp @significanceofmoths and anyone else who wants to do it. say i tagged you. nobody will ever check to find out.

Hi! How do you make your gifs? Do you have any tips or tutorials for beginners?

Hello! <3

I am really just a beginner myself to be honest, I already knew how to use photoshop a bit and how to download the episodes but this is the amazing tutorial that I followed when starting out: THIS ONE

To download the episodes I use uTorrent (I advise you to search how to make it work faster online by copying the parameters to download faster) and get them in high quality 1080p from this site here and I can connect to that site because I'm using a VPN - mine is called browsec and it's a web extension for Firefox - if you don't know how to use torrent here is an explanation

after I have the files in my pc I downloaded the video player GOM and I use the option to take automatic screencaps and make folders in my pc with the frames I need to make the gif then I follow all the steps you can find in that tutorial

I use Adobe Photoshop cc2015 that I may have taken already cracked from a torrent too if you know what I mean lol search online how to download cracked programs for pc and follow what the internet says because I do not know how to explain this and I don't want to make you break your pc somehow with bad advice

you can find many many photoshop tutorials on youtube on how to make gifs and how to use it in general, after you learn the process it's faster if you learn how to create ''Actions'' on photoshop to do everything faster so that you don't have to repeat all the steps all the time but I just learned this yesterday so like, I'm not the best one to teach others yet lmao

this is one to learn how to blend two gifs in one

for the caption and to make colourful text

to have what they say in the gif faster you can find transcripts of the episodes here, sometimes it's wrong but not often, I usually check the dialogue in the video and see if it's the same before captioning and then make it fit with when they are saying that

hope this helps!! :)

Cricket genuinely thought that Ashton Kutcher had decided to make a Punk'd comeback when at the end of a long hiring process it was revealed that she was interviewing to be Bradley Banner's personal chef. She'd of course known that the Banner's had a hotel in Aurora Bay, and that Bradley had a house there, but she had still felt so far removed from even being possible that when the client had been listed as high profile, they'd actually meant the highest profile literally ever. At least as far as Cricket was concerned.

It wasn't the most freedom she's ever been given, following some of her certain health parameters and restrictions and all, but she did enjoy the (short lived) process of trying to come up with creative and nutritious meals to really impress Bradley. She had to reign herself in on several occasions to stop herself from asking if Bradley could repeat herself so she could record the praise to set as her ringtone.

What Are Automotive Core Tools - Importance Of Automotive Core Tools

Automotive Core Tools Overview

Today, Automobile Manufacturing organizations are working in a cut-throat market scenario where simultaneous improvement and an effective Quality Management System ensure success. Keeping this in mind, Automotive Core Tools were created.

These quality methods and tools were developed more than 30 years ago by the AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) and ASQ (American Society of Quality), in association with the automakers Ford, GM, and Chrysler (now FCA), to improve the efficiency of the IATF 16949-based QMS and deliver high-quality products on schedule.

According to the current standards of the automotive sector, these quality methods, which are based on IATF 16949, aid employees in optimizing processes and are essential for an efficient quality management system.

What are the Automotive Core Tools?

The five primary approaches manufacturers and supply chains use to manage quality control are called automotive core tools. They help suppliers and manufacturers adhere to IATF 16949 Automotive Quality Management System. Despite the IATF 16949 compliance obligations, organizations can still benefit from automotive quality tools. Manufacturers’ use of quality tools facilitates the detection of flaws, efficient product planning, monitoring of the development processes, and application of product quality planning. Following are the five core tools.

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA)

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Product Part Approval Process (PPAP)

Let’s understand each tool in detail and understand how to use them.

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP): Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Control Plan aims to reduce the complexity of product quality plans. It is a structured method of signifying and establishing the process and steps required to ensure product quality standards and customer satisfaction. APQP allows customers to easily communicate their product quality planning requirements to their suppliers, thus reducing the complexity of product quality planning for both. With this, suppliers get a clear picture of the basic industry requirements for achieving part approval from their customers. Control Plans summarize the identified process and product parameters required to maintain product conformity. These tools are applicable throughout the supply base in all customer/supplier relationships. APQP defines the required inputs and outputs of each stage of the product development process.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA): Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) identifies and addresses failure modes in products and processes. It is an analytical methodology to ensure that issues are identified and addressed throughout the product and process development process. It is an essential part of automotive core tools that encompasses risk assessment as a part of its evaluation. The analysis is conducted regarding the designs (of either the product or process), and the functions are reviewed thoroughly. Eventually, it aims at reducing the risk of potential failure. It is used before developing a control plan for a new or modified process while improving goals planned over the existing process, product or service and when the failures are analyzed about the existing process.

Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA): MSA stands for Measurement System Analysis. It is the measurement data that monitors nearly every process. It is a collection of many statistical analysis methods for evaluating variability in the measurement process. This is a significant part of automotive core tools as it helps improve data quality and decision-making. It is a guide that helps organizations assess the quality of their measurement systems by identifying improvement areas. It eventually provides knowledge based on data that can be used to improve the measurement process, improving repeatable product quality.

Statistical Process Control (SPC): Statistical Process Control (SPC) describes several basic and advanced statistical methods to ensure your process improvements are more effective. Statistical techniques such as controlling charts are utilized to analyze a process or its output. It helps take appropriate actions to achieve and maintain a state of statistical control and improve the process capability. It helps in controlling quality by closely monitoring the manufacturing process. Further, it provides solid ground for organizations to move from detection based to prevention-based quality controls.

Product Part Approval Process (PPAP): The production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is the only industry standard that ensures engineering design and product specification requirements are met without hindrance. It provides a guideline through which suppliers and customers understand the requirements to obtain part approval for supplier-manufactured parts. It applies to all parts and commodities. Further, it reduces delays and non-conformances during part approval. It addresses details pertinent to design records to ensure traceability of part design status at origin, and controls the predict a process change process, thus providing an approval outlet for all changes to ensure conformance for the next level assembly.

What data can be deduced from Automotive Core Tools?

The New Product Introduction (NPI) phases of product and process development, as well as specific situations such as experienced failures or technical changes, involve the usage of the Quality Core Tools. An analyst can deduce the following after reviewing the Quality Core Tools:

APQP provides time and advice for all actions and tools involved in product and process prevention and control, including the remaining Quality Core Tools. It includes requirements, specifications, reliability/design goals, preliminary special features, and scheduling.

The design FMEA risk assessment provides fine-tuned specific characteristics, testing inputs, and design enhancements. Process FMEA Risk Assessment considers potential process flaws, enhanced process performance, and management techniques for unique characteristics.

MSA certifies the gauge systems used for unique characteristic measurements, which is essential for correctly identifying product quality defects.

SPC illustrates process capability and stability for unique characteristics derived by DFMEA and PFMEA in the first place.

The PPAP shows that all special features have developed unique controls or reached a degree of stability and capability (Cpk) that is acceptable.

Why Automotive Core Tools are important?

The cost of poor quality (COPQ), measured in the manufacturing sector, is the expense related to processing and product failures. Compared to the industry leaders, subpar manufacturers are 5X more likely to incur expenditures related to scrap, rework, defects, retesting, and recalls.

The best manufacturers have COPQ scores of under 1%, while subpar manufacturers have scores of 5% or more. Therefore, by addressing issues, particularly fatal errors, before they become significant problems after a product has been published, the 5 Core Quality tools preventively minimize COPQ. Improved consumer and supplier communication and comprehension help achieve this.

How to Accurately Measure Capacitance Using A Capacitor Tester

Capacitance refers to the ability to hold a charge. It is a medium for realizing the storage and release of static charges, with the characteristic of permanent charge storage. Capacitor components are widely used in power supply filtering, signal filtering, signal coupling, resonance, filtering, compensation, charging and discharging, energy storage, and power separation in circuits. According to its ability to accommodate charges, it is generally measured in Farads, and the international unit is Farads. Therefore, capacitors are essential components for electronics and power. The role of capacitors: Bypass capacitors and decoupling capacitors are two devices that provide energy storage for local devices. Bypass capacitors can reduce load demand, make the output of the voltage regulator smooth, similar to a small rechargeable battery, and can be discharged and charged. The decoupling capacitor can smooth the edge signals of the device, so as to prevent the input signal from being too large and causing noise, and filter out interference in the output signal. Large capacitors filter low frequencies, small capacitors filter high frequencies, filter out interference in the input signal, and the smaller the impedance, the higher the frequency passed through. Energy storage capacitors can collect charges and transfer them to the output end of the power supply. They can be units, parallel or series, to meet different power requirements. Therefore, measure capacitance is very important. Capacitor meter is an important test instrument for detecting the parameters of capacitors in power supply engineering. It can accurately detect the capacitance of capacitors, test their characteristic parameters and accuracy, and ensure the normal operation of circuits. It uses an adjustable bridge circuit to measure the capacitance of the capacitor, and can better adjust the capacitor according to the test results to reach the best working state. Working principle of capacitor meter: The capacitor meter is a test instrument that uses synchronous sampling technology of standard and test capacitors, fault diagnosis procedure and fully automatic measurement process. It is not affected by the fluctuation of the power supply voltage, and can accurately and reliably measure resistors and capacitors, with high stability and repeatability. Features of capacitor meter: Capacitor meter can conveniently and quickly measure a single capacitor on site, without removing the connecting wire, thus avoiding a lot of time consuming work and damaging the capacitor. In addition, the capacitor meter will output a higher voltage than the capacitive table, which can improve the fault detection efficiency. In addition, the capacitor meter can not only measure capacitance, but also measure the inductance value of resistors. LS6515EN Capacitor meter A deeper understanding of the working principle of capacitor meter: The capacitor meter directly measures the capacitive current from the secondary side of the power distribution PT, which makes the test safe, simple and fast, so that the instrument does not need to communicate with the primary side and can accurately and reliably monitoring data, and without making complicated safety measures and waiting for lengthy dispatch command. In addition, the capacitor meter injects the harmonic test signal at the PT’s open triangular junction, not only will not cause any influence to the relay protection and PT itself, but also avoids the 50Hz power frequency interference signal, the output end withstands the AC voltage of 100V, the system has single-phase grounding fault, and will not damage the PT and tester, making the test results more accurate and reliable. Measurement method of capacitor meter: This introduces the measure capacitance method of fixed capacitors from 10pf to 001uF. First of all, check the capacitors below 10pf, which can be qualitatively checked using the R * 10k gear of the universal meter, to determine whether there is leakage, internal short circuit or breakdown phenomenon of the capacitor; secondly, 10pf to 001uF fixed capacitors, universal meter should select R*1k gear, using two transistors (passing current should be small, type such as 3DG6, β value greater than 100), and red, black pens of multi-functional meter, respectively Connected to the emitter and collector of the bi-directional tube, to determine whether there is a charging phenomenon, and then determine its quality.

Since 2010, we have been making cnc machining parts everyday diligently and reliably.

We support our customer’s manufacturing needs with a broad range of abilities, from mass production technologies perfected over the years to single pieces of difficult to process parts.

The raw material we can process as following: Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel , Carbon Steel,Titanium and ect.

CNC (computer numerical control) machining is an automated manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled machine tools to perform cutting, engraving, milling, drilling, etc. operations on materials according to pre-programmed instructions to create precise parts or product.

CNC machined parts are defined as various workpieces, components or assemblies that are cut, processed and formed from raw materials through the use of CNC technology and equipment. These parts can include different kinds of materials such as metal, plastic, wood, etc., and can have complex shapes, precise dimensions and surface features.

The definition of CNC machined parts can also cover the following aspects:

CAD/CAM programming: Before CNC machining, you need to use computer-aided design (CAD) software to model and design the parts, and use computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software to generate the processing program for the machine tool. These programs will contain information such as tool paths, cutting parameters and sequence of operations.

Automated processing: The CNC processing process is automated. Through pre-written programs and control systems, the machine tool can accurately perform various operations, such as cutting, milling, drilling, etc. This eliminates the uncertainty of manual operations and improves production efficiency and processing accuracy.

Accuracy and Consistency: CNC machined parts are produced with high accuracy and consistency. Because the operation is computer-controlled, very fine cutting and machining can be achieved, ensuring that each part meets predetermined specifications and requirements. This is especially important for batch production where a high degree of consistency is required.

Neural networks for creating 3D models⁠⁠

A year ago I watched a video on YouTube “Picture into a 3D object using a neural network,” which makes 3D models from images. Link to video https://youtu.be/vHYxAMVFOb4?si=Q5vIlqkqz-7TAUxC The disadvantages of this neural network were the long wait for the generation of a 3D model (1 day) and the amount for a finished 3D model, which is comparable to the cost of ordering a 3D model on a freelance basis. Under this video there was a comment of the following nature: “Rather, this is not a neuron, but just cheap labor.” At that time, I also thought that most likely people do and model for money. Over time, my opinion changed. Recently, neural networks have been developing rapidly. And today several neural networks are available that generate a 3D model from an image or text description

Neural networks for creating 3D models

Large Gaussian Model

At its core, a Large Gaussian Model is a type of neural network that can learn and generate complex 3D shapes based on simple input parameters. Essentially, she acts as a kind of digital sculptor or artist, using probabilities and statistics to fill in the gaps between known data points and create a coherent, seamless whole. In one recent demonstration, researchers used a Large Gaussian Model to create detailed reconstructions of entire buildings from just a few photographs taken from different angles. By analyzing patterns and features common to multiple images, the model was able to fill in missing details and create a complete and accurate representation of the building's exterior.

Pifu HD neural network

The PIFU neural network is a machine learning algorithm that allows you to create 3D models of a person based on a single photograph. It was developed in 2019 by a team of scientists from the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

The process of creating a 3D model using PIFU begins with loading a photograph of a person into a special image processing program. The program then uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the shape and proportions of the face in the photo. Based on this data, a geometric model is created, which is then converted into a 3D model.

One of the features of PIFU is that it can create 3D models of people with different types of skin, hair and eyes. This allows the creation of more realistic models that can be used in various fields such as medicine, cinema and video games.

However, it should be noted that PIFU is not an ideal algorithm for creating 3D models of people. It may have some limitations and errors, especially if the photo is not of very good quality or if the person in the photo has an unusual face type or hairstyle. In addition, creating a 3D model requires a photo of high enough quality so that the algorithms can accurately analyze the shape and proportions of the face.

Neural network ICON

ICON is a revolutionary neural network that changes traditional methods of creating 3D avatars. Unlike existing methods, which require either staged 3D scans or carefully controlled 2D images, ICON can create realistic 3D avatars from an unlimited number of real-life human positions using only standard photographs.

Creation of a 3D model based on a text request (description)

We told you how neural networks can create 3D models from an image. But neural networks are capable of not only creating 3D models from images, but also from text descriptions. Creating 3D models based on text descriptions was only a matter of time. OpenAI has created a generative neural network that is capable of converting text messages into 3D models.

The Shap E neural network consists of two models: the first generates a simple image based on a text query, and the second converts it into a 3D model. To do this, it creates clouds of points in space that repeat the three-dimensional shape of the object.

OpenAI specialists trained the Point-E neural network to create 3D models on a data array consisting of several million 3D objects. The company will continue to train algorithms and will also work to improve the quality of detail of the generated models.

The Shap-E neural network easily generates objects, sculptures, and architecture. And after improving the quality of the generated 3D models, this may be useful for 3D printing in the future. Or 3D models created by a neural network will appear in virtual worlds,

Currently, many 3D models created by a neural network look very simple and even primitive, but the potential of this neural network is very significant.

TripoSR neural network

TripoSR AI is a unique platform from Stability AI and Tripo AI that uses artificial intelligence to create premium, easy-to-use 3D models in seconds! Using advanced synthesis methods and machine learning algorithms, the TripoSR AI neural network allows users to instantly transform text or visual images into complex 3D designs, significantly reducing the time and resources required for artistic creation.

Neural network for creating a 3D model using a depth map

A neural network called a generative adversarial network (GAN) can be trained to transform 2D images into 3D models. In this case, the neural network uses an image depth mask to determine the depth of each pixel in the image. This information is then used to create a 3D model that includes textures and colors that match the original image.

To train a neural network, a large data set consisting of image pairs is required: a two-dimensional image and a corresponding three-dimensional model. This data can be obtained using special 3D scanners or through manual work.

Once trained, the generative adversarial network can be used to transform any 2D image into a 3D model. However, be aware that the results may not be very accurate, especially if the original image is low resolution or contains complex details.

One of the main advantages of creating 3D neural models is that it eliminates many of the limitations associated with other methods. For example, photorealistic 3D models created using traditional methods require extensive resources, including expensive equipment, specialized software, and skilled operators. Moreover, creating these models manually requires significant time and effort, especially for complex scenes. In contrast, the new approach allows you to quickly and cost-effectively create incredibly detailed models from basic images. It also makes it easier to create dynamic animations featuring virtual characters that move and behave convincingly.

This technology has many practical applications in various industries. For example, in the entertainment industry, filmmakers and game designers can use Neural 3D Model Generation to bring fictional worlds and characters to life with more ease and efficiency than before. Meanwhile, educators can use it to provide students with an interactive and engaging learning environment that goes far beyond simple textbooks and slideshows. Architects and engineers can use it to virtually test designs before creating physical prototypes, thereby saving valuable resources and minimizing errors. Healthcare professionals could potentially use it to simulate surgeries, helping them prepare for procedures and reducing risks during real-life surgeries. In addition, retailers can benefit from this by offering customers personalized product demonstrations remotely through augmented reality applications.

Despite the enormous promise, there are a number of challenges that must be overcome before neural 3D model generation can become widespread. Some experts argue that the current level of accuracy may still not meet certain standards in specific areas. Moreover, the computational requirements for running the algorithms can significantly impact system performance and power consumption, requiring powerful hardware tuning. However, researchers continue to make progress in solving these problems, so it is likely that further improvements will be in store in the near future.

In conclusion, the creation of 3D neural models is an innovative and transformative technology that promises to change many aspects of our lives. As this technology matures, we expect to see increasingly complex and versatile implementations that will open up many new applications.
