ZOE CHANT 40,000 GRIMDARK ROMANCE
As I threatened in my previous post, I have now trained a text-generating AI (learn about training your own here) on a dataset that contained BOTH Warhammer 40K novel descriptions and Zoe Chant shifter romance descriptions.
It took a while to get the thing up and running without errors (most of which, I eventually figured out, were due to me mis-capitalizing ONE LETTER in the filename of my dataset).
Was it worth the trouble?
DAMN STRAIGHT IT WAS WORTH THE TROUBLE
Some of the stuff it produces (well, ok, a lot of the stuff it produces) is pretty much incomprehensible. And then there are ones that alllmost make it...
As for this one...there are no words. I'm not even going to edit it, just give it to you in all its WTF glory:
And then it throws a perfect logline for a Zoe Chant novel:
That's it for now, mostly because I'll eventually hit the character limit on post or some such. MOAR LATER!

Care Bear
When you're a carebear, how can someone you love care for you?
The Last Outpost is a long-running steamy mobile story set in the grimy cafe of the Imperial State, covering the stands of the fabled Imperium.
On a distant planet, a newly-armoured elite regiment of Griffin shifters are sent into battle against monstrous alien invaders.
DAMN STRAIGHT IT WAS WORTH THE TROUBLE
Sexiness, dishonesty, hate, hate-filled passion are on the rise across the board. And that's bad news for your hot Marine veteran: He's getting a second chance.That was the first full description it produced, even! There was text before it, but it was a list of mostly-plausible W40K novel titles.
The Last Outpost
A BBW who’s new in town, Zoe comes to town on the losing end of one of society’s most isolating toxic romances.
Chaos grips the outpost, and the inhabitants are not always forgiving of it. Frenchwoman Anna is determined to prove herself worthy of all her efforts, but the people of the outpost despise her for being a member of a power other than the military, and she’ll do anything to avoid losing herself in their every move…
Josh has always trusted in his heart that he will do anything to protect the Emperor, and you’re not going to shove a lifetime of duty and love into a lifetime of work and family into a relationship that will never see the light of day?
The Last Outpost is a long-running steamy mobile story set in the grimy cafe of the Imperial State, covering the stands of the fabled Imperium. With only the most brutal of enemies standing in the way of their glory and the protection of the Emperor, can the soldiers and the mayor of The Last Outpost find time to talk about revenge?
The Last Outpost is a steamy standalone action/drama novel of the same name. All characters and events from the Warhammer 40,000 series are described, including some cliffhangers, and can be enjoyed in any order.
Some of the stuff it produces (well, ok, a lot of the stuff it produces) is pretty much incomprehensible. And then there are ones that alllmost make it...
Care BearOccasionally the AI latches on to a word or phrase and just repeats it. No, I have no idea where it got "Georgian" from, since neither of the two worlds in the dataset have anything to do with Georgian England. I suppose it managed to realize that part of the data was romance, and assumed romance=Georgian?
When you're a carebear, how can someone you love care for you?
When the bear of Saint Nick comes into his own as a caretaker at a bar, it's easy to understand why. But then he's introduced as a lonely soul struggling to live independently, and how can he?
A lonely soul struggling with his orchids, an authority figure turned authority figure who turns into a zombie–she-knows-what. Talk to her soon. Hearing what she's told would make a wonderful plot device, or outright murder.
But it's not difficult: he's become the caretaker's vanguard, unable to fathom the distinction between the beast he's been entrusted with and a wild animal that's been used to its point.

The Changeling
Shifter Burden 2018
Whether it's taking a break to take a look through a portal, walking into a small town haunted by a frightened child's soul, cutting a tie or just wanting to chat doesn't seem to matter much to the shifter woman who drives him through a hole in the ground, Mahesh, the curvy prima nocturne shifter Mahesh has ever created.
Even if she's trying hard to hide her apprehension at the thought of meeting the man who lost his mother
Marcus Beter's greatest triumph came in the form of his second marriage, to naturally effeminate Elizabeth Redmayne. The two had a wonderful time together, Elizabeth in her fine blouse and skirts, Marcus in his thoughtful small town shirt and jeans, Elizabeth at the lavish Georgian ball, Georgian ball, Georgian queen, Georgian society, Georgian aristocracy, Georgian coffee houses, Georgian greens and Georgian greens wine hall, Georgian fairs, Georgian ball and Georgian ball here to stay, Georgian ball with its gorgeous queen, Georgian ball to clean and Georgian ball to laugh with, Georgian ball at its glittering, famous end, forthcoming Georgian ball with its lavish hosts, Georgian ball at its lavish patrons, Georgian ball at its lavish memories, Georgian ball with its sprawling libraries and Georgian ball at its glittering monuments, Georgian ball at its glittering patrons. A Georgian ball, an end to Elizabeth's second marriage and a peerless successor should have been arranged once and for all, as the end result should have been seen as a considerable victory for the Georgian people and should have prevented another Elizabeth Redmayne from winning the Georgian ball again.NOW WE HAVE FINALLY ACHIEVED PROPER W40K SHIFTER ROMANCE!
The Panther's MateAnd even an adventure book whose title takes inspiration from Zoe.
An Adepta Sororitas story
When the sun sets on the corruption-and-destruction-of-Space-1911, the human race is made vulnerable. We hear of young people stuck in filthy, destitute shelters, where their souls have no future, like orphans. But when the psychic powers of the Adepta Sororitas start to shine, everyone is making an effort. Some of them even join forces to teach the orphans how to fight. Only one problem…The Panther's Mate is the villainous alpha, himself corrupted by the plague in a system he fears has been mending itself.
The Adepta Sororitas, which was originally designated for the Adepta Sororitas of the Imperium, have been linked to humanity for millennia. One of the key features of the organisation is the training of the orphans–what children, what skills do they have?
The Panther's Mate – 20 such stories–explore this great human crisis.
The Mad King Big Bad’s MateI can see this one working in the W40K universe...
Ragnar Blackmane's first novel, Mad King Big Bad’s Mate, was a wild ride across the galaxy. As the greatest galactic conflict on record, the armies of the Old Gods clash with an army of Space Marines–the Armageddon Marauders! Determined to defeat their greatest nemesis, the Beast Pariahs, the Marauders unleash their most potent weapons against their foes–the Mad King Big Bad’s Mate!
Raven Septon: The Seer's BoxAnd then there's this lighthearted (for W40K) novel that can't decide on its title:
Shifter Dads, Book 4
A curvy, confident recovering lawyer + a billionaire ballerina + a tragic accident = one glittery love!
Curvy Kristin Anderson is devastated to learn that her ex-boyfriend left her a broken record. He never showed up. She's sure he meant something to her family. He never returned.
Pia also wants nothing to do but have a happy and successful life—and marshal the forces of the Indomitus Regime to stop her father's dishonour.
Alpha Lion is a novel by Fabrice Coffey.And a slightly less lighthearted novel...
On a peaceful and tranquil hunting ground, the Alpha Legionnaires have just returned from a mission to liberate a sector world from a massing of Chaos aliens. The noble huntress and human servant, Alpha Chiara, is seeking the tau, the rarest of all life-form mutations, for whom widespread cure has long been an after-product. She seeks the defective necrons in the form of mankind's first genetically engineered Alpha Lion, but his genetic flaws threaten to derail the hunt beyond the barren world they are about to capture. Alpha Chiara and all Alpha Legionnaires must make amends, or the world they capture… will be forever changed forever.
The Alpha Lion is the most feared and mutated human being to ever roam the galaxy. Still beset by a persistent and deadly foe, his is a fear that has lasted a million years as he seeks a cure for a disease that threatens to radically reshape the social, political and military landscape of a dying galaxy. As arcane mutations seep into the very fabric of his being, and his hunt becomes impossible to escape, Alpha Chiara becomes entangled in a conspiracy that could expand into the entire wide galaxy and end all life on this planet.
The Hunting Ground is a light-hearted, standalone novel. No cliffhangers!
Killor Carlos: Shadow of the Betrayer Book 6This one came without a title.
Tor Books
Honour, if you can handle the heat, this is the beginning of your road back to Wraeclast… Safe to say, we're not expecting a single pegasus to remain for so long. Heh. We all know shifters have their family, but what if there were a god? What if one of us were to accidentally get burned by a tormented dragon? Such things are unimaginable…
All we have to do is take a moment and imagine Honour and kneel before the blazing cross of the benediction, and witness one of mankind's greatest heroes's sacrifice in the name of a better world.
Killor Carlos follows the journey of one of the greatest heroes of Warhammer 40,000 as he travels the galaxy as a monstrous shadow of a beast.
Griffin's rise to power has come at a terrible price. On a distant planet, a newly-armoured elite regiment of Griffin shifters are sent into battle against monstrous alien invaders.Insert clever caption here.
But when the aliens' war machines unleash a deadly plasma pulse that kills a single human in one hit, the squad begins to question their place in the Imperium. As the war rages, Griffin's brother Cassius is raised by his brotherheads to fight beside himself and pursuing his brotherheads by the dozen. He’ll have to fight beside himself to understand that the galaxy is full of fantastic creatures… and that they’re all brothers. Written by Chris Wraight.

Steel TigerI just want to emphasize...laugh-out-loudly hilarious collection of friendly fire adventures.
Fire & Rescue Shifters, Book 3
He's a firefighter, after all. He has his own special healing staff…
The fire truck driver who lost his arm in a freak accident. The firefighter who keeps an eye on the nearby paceman base, but can't get out until he can’t give a damn, ork soldier–or the thousands of other animals–when he calls himself "Tiger." He's not seeking out sacrifice; he’ll find it in him.
Gunfire warriors from the 101st Airborne–a collection of volunteer firefighters, each with their own unique history, personalities, and abilities–will be on the battlefields across the galaxy in the next two and a half novels.
READ IT BECAUSE: Heroic proportions come into focus in this fast-paced and laugh-out-loudly hilarious collection of friendly fire adventures. Each is relentless in their scourging of the beast–even gruff lion shifter Salem–even touchingly so.
As for this one...there are no words. I'm not even going to edit it, just give it to you in all its WTF glory:
Panther ShiftersANTEATER DRAGONS

The panther is a art form. A tiny animal which can literally be an entire human family. It can even fly. It can carry a mother and a father, and yet it burns brightly, running its wings in a flame of mystery, and acting as if it were breathing life into any question it might be being asked.
Matthew Wilson is the figurehead of the panther, and he will protect Camila, the last person she knows, or risk losing both of them, if she can only give the Anteater Dragons an audience. Can they let go of their fears and let the dragon
And then it throws a perfect logline for a Zoe Chant novel:
Charged: Book XXITo wind up this post...oh there's so much gold in this giant file of generated text that there will be more...here's a couple of Zoe Chant books that were probably published in the W40K universe.
