  1. Out With The Old, the latest sequel is complete :D

  2. Part 2 of Southwestern Wind and Epilogue is up :D

  3. People don’t really grow up they just get better at hiding it. Dear lord, having to explain to a construction worker having a temper tantrum that the only reason he can’t login into an app is because of a user error. When he’s at least 6’5 and over eighty pounds heavier is not a good time.

      Peter Pan syndrome, never wanting to grow up?  I sympathize… can I get a do over, reset my biological clock to 18?

  4. Pulled Lichlove and its surrounding stories. I’m not going to say much but I did find an editor :D

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      That sounds very promising! Hopefully this is the start of good things! :D

  5. Rationis update should be out by tomorrow night or the day after :D

      The Weight of Eternity is up

  6. Revising 100%

    Page Count :527

    Word Count: 76147

    Now I have to read through it.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Revising it into 761.4k?

    2. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      I mean if you want the mother of all doorstoppers. When a rock would do just as well?

  7. Rewrite is doing better.

    Felt like I had to separate it.

    Now for some reason I have a romance story prequeling/concurrent with the dark fantasy one.

    … No I don’t know how that happened.

  8. Rings of power can be summed as thus

    • Galadriel is pretty much the greater evil of the story and at this point only Sauron himself is capable of knocking her down a peg. No, I’m not joking. She has glimmers of self-awareness that flicker and fade just as quickly as the story itself won’t let her be wrong.( She’s pretty much the most empowered Mary Sue in recent history)
    • The Harfoots are evil to the core. Let’s leave them to die turned to lets steal their wheels so they’ll absolutely die. Forget orcs, the only reason anyone is alive is because they’re avoiding these murder monsters. Orcs are more sympathetic and they’re the minions of evil.
    • Exiling evil herself absolutely was the right call as even when she’s apologizing for manipulating someone. She’s still un-apologetically doing it. “Because I cannot stop”
    • Durin’s subplot is the best part of RoP. The actors are having fun with what they’re given.
    • The only reason sauron’s acolytes are about is they want to steal the Harfoot’s unabashed evil for themselves and for screen time.
    • The Mithril thing.

      My recommendation is to stop making these bets with these horrific, torturous outcomes.  Get into something safer, like skydiving.

      I’ve learned my lesson @Desiderius PriceBut to be fair against a mono-green squirrel spam token generator deck even my Black/White Zombie horde  life gain combo stood no chance whatsoever. So many Squirrels.

      I shall regale you with my tale of folly. For while Anointed Procession+ Endless Ranks Of The Dead+ Soul Warden= Equals a zombie apocalypse with a lifetotal of easily 100+ I had assumed I was going to win. So I made the bet.

      But oh… Oh, how naive I was. For while the combo above is good. It does not compete with Parallel Lives + Doubling Season+ Doubling Season= Eight times the tokens for every token spawned and the Coupe De Grace was Squirrel Mob the size of a death star.

      I implore you to hold this wisdom. You see a squirrel on the board. Be prepared to wipe the entire board with a nuke. Or at least something that can destroy enchantments.

       

  9. RoP should be used as a sleep aid. Episode 6 made me sleep. Apparently sacrificing the only fortified structure for miles if not days and managing not to kill anyone with it was a bad move. Who knew?

    Right when it started getting actiony suddenly NyQuil mode engaged.

    The good shot was evil herself watching as Mount Doom erupts.

      The whole episode sucked.  No dwarves, so no entertainment value.  I seriously am only now watching for the dwarves

    4. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      @DemonGoddessAbsolutely, The whole water will not make a volcano explode aside, weird time traveling they hope you’re not noticing. Hydrovolcanism while real wouldn’t work in an open chasm like that. I guess the lazy magic excuse works

      The Dwarf section really is the best part. They at least are having fun. Durin got a new table for his wife and everything. Your show is a failure if the audience identifies with the villain more than the “heroes” I use that term in the loosest sense possible.

  10. September 22 is the last day of summer.

    September 23 Is the first of Fall.

      And I’m rushing to see if I can reach 100k for the month before then!

      Please don’t remind me – I don’t like colder weather.  But, that’s also astronomical  autumn.  Meteorological autumn started at the first of the month.

      Cheers!

  11. Sequel to Immunda is almost ready :D

    1. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      Rationis posted :D most likely a once a monthly thing.

  12. So uh first time I’ve been hired then released within the first day. So either it was a fluke or the economy might not be doing well.:pissed:

      Seriously, that is exceedingly unprofessional to make you come in to be told you were let go. What industry is this in?

    3. InvidiaRed
    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Well, shit. If it’s a hotel chain, let me know, because I won’t stay with them in future. Same thing if it’s a restaurant. 

  13. So uh, manager got axed but she decided to deadman’s switch and nuke alot of other...enjoyers of group extracurricular activities by sending evidence to HQ directly….

    And I knew none of this and walked straight into the aftermath of the hidenburg.

    There’s burning bridges… And then there’s nuking the thing.

    So the fallout has yet to be determined but on the other hand kinda have to respect going out on your own terms via nuclear fission.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Reaction to manager’s response… hope you’re able to either keep your job or find a good replacement.

    2. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Which is exactly why I follow the sage advice of my father: “Never shit where you eat.”  :lol: 

       

  14. So utter chaos at work the scheduler just walked off one day and we’re preparing for 24/5 in Feb. So its like one hell of a drama bomb.

     

  15. Spent a coupled days in Williams. Its touristy place celebrating route 66 but it feels like a small town pearled in time. The gateway to the grand canyon lol.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Grand Canyon eh?  Should fit a bunch of bodies in time for Halloween.  :devil:

      Don’t forget Winona.  And here’s a link for “six degrees of separation” with a degree or two left out.

      “Bonus Points” if you can list the degrees I’ve left out.  Cheers!

       

  16. Still revising, its a good thing I’m going through chapter by chapter and have an outline cause I can tell there’s this weird tone shift I have to solve.

    Anyone else ever look at your own writing go be confused of a weird tone shift?

      Desiderius Price

      Usually an unwanted tone shift is caused by putting the project down and coming back to it months/years later.

      Or it was that damned midnight snack of peanut butter and bananas on toast…  :lol:

      :jaw: I legit had that last night.

  17. Strange dream I had. To take a death that was not yours. Cause the option is apparently there to die in another’s stead. All I know it was of the utmost importance that they live.

    1. JayDee

      JayDee

      I’m up for it. It doesn’t even have to be important for them to live tbh.

    2. InvidiaRed

      When at last you begin to tred that crossroad that edge of known between here and hereafter where the psychopomps dwell thine life already ebbing the question remains. The chance to save another also dying will push you beyond life’s ending.

  18. The deli I work for went full grocer. Life is strangely interesting.

  19. The goodnews 90% done with the revamp. Tying the loose threads into a serviceable plot. Trying so hard everything will be ready soon!

     

    The Badnews, Having to deal with the fact my 90 year old grandma is a hoarder.

      I can laugh at it now.

       

      The bruises are gone but I don’t think I’m going to step into that house for a long time nomatter how much I love my grandparent.

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Oh, good, you survived.  Did you need search & rescue to pull you out?  :)

    4. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      Well between getting conked in the head by 1970’s ads in boxes , three outdated encyclopedias and essentially covered in every single issue of 1981’s readers digest surprisingly not.

  20. The silenced ebbed now the word fly ten

     

  21. The winds of change have come

    Embrace it or resist it is the question.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Throw up a windmill and harness the power!  :)

    2. DemonGoddess

      What winds of change??

    3. Melrick

      Melrick

      I wish the winds of change would arrive here, because these current ones are hot and humid, and I’d like them to fuck off now, please.

      And trust me, I’d mangle your native language far worse, Neko-baby! :lol:

      Word order seems to vary substantially among languages. According to linguist John McWhorter, there are even a few languages in which the order of words is meaningless; they have other mechanisms for identifying subject vs object, etc.

       

    4. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      If I remember correctly, Japanese is one of those languages where the word order isn’t fixed. It’s not meaningless, but the word order isn’t nearly as fixed as it is in English :D
