See, it’s even scarier!  

Nah, scary is the time of year when my company demands my annual self-evaluation. 

Well I’m sure you’re totes fine as long as you keep NSFW off the company’s comps.

It’s not like the first one was a bad idea, it simply had enough moving parts that a oneshot wouldn’t do it justice.  Even my hairbrained idea to “reformat” a multi-chapter story into a single one-shot wasn’t going to cut it anywhere under 45k.  So, the MC gets a reprieve and his sentence won’t be carried out immediately.

I’m just shuddering at the thought of a stealth pregnancy. It’s bad enough when you know about it.  

Giving you a spook even BEFORE I post the story, that’s cool

I got to learn how to wire money today as well, so there’s that.  (Cause I figure mortgage firms have been burned taking anything less than a cashier’s check or money wire.)  Now waiting for the paperwork to clear.

Many congratulations! I loved my mortgage freedoms days immensely!  

And confirmed it deposited via the mortgager.  This dark period is ending…. and a small shopping spree might happen.

One of my all time favourite “resumé credits” belongs to Henry Cavill… Although his character does have a name in the movie, and is listed as such, he can still put on his acting resumé: “Gay flirted with Robert DeNiro. 

I can totally see some casting director saying, “I need a good puker for this movie. I’m talking someone who can really blow chunks.” And this actor’s agent says, “Have I got the guy for you.”

All foodstuff goes bad eventually and legally most foodstuff has to include at least a best by or an expiration date.

Lifespan of the frozen pizza once I get it home?  Maybe an hour.

And it turns out the local library’s free wifi blocks AFF (labels it as pornography).  Ditto at work, so was considering getting a VPN to work around the blockage.

Yep, because we are an age-restricted site. 

Not that I was particularly disagreeing, especially at work.  Though we’re not the visual graphic image type, so it should be alright (IMO) to browse (quietly) in a library setting.  (Obviously, a text-to-speech feature might not go over as well...)  However, crisis was averted, so now I can be a pervert in my own damn house! 

Lol, thats what the desert is for

SO many questions…   

as shultz used to say: i know nothing...NOTHING!!! 

‘Bout time.  Vernal Equinox is moving even slower than Vernon Dursley with Petunia’s 14” by 7 “ circumference clitoris up his keister.

Yeah, sterile white sounds good, especially when the nefarious group thinks/believes they’re doing the right thing.  Even in my case, the canary yellow group thinks they’re doing the right thing too.  As I re-read the material (rewriting), I did notice a lot of black, however, I think the switch to canary yellow is a *WAY* better decision.

For villains, I like to use colors that seem unnatural or out of place. I once wrote a Steven Universe fanfic about a nefarious collective intelligence called the Splinter, which could infect people and control their minds. Infected persons had swirling orange specks in their eyes. I chose orange because it's not a color you ever see in human eyes, or a color that was normally associated with any of the main characters.

I really make my plots complicated.  In my case, it’s not the intention of the canary yellow group to be evil, the canary yellow simply being a close proximity to the Hufflepuff colors around the martyr that’s been chosen, and this group is being tricked/fooled into being evil toward Harry.  Bottle green is by the next group is to (incorrectly) affiliate themselves with Harry, reinforcing the fears at the core of the slander/smear campaign being waged against him.

In prior drafts, I had both groups in black (ie “dark”).  However, this pass through (of what I hope to be the FINAL draft), the canary yellow simply evolved, and I realized it was more effective than the black had been.  I applied the same logic to the next group, and so they’re going to be in robes of bottle green, to match Harry’s eyes.

Better late than never.

The game’s been distracting, so haven’t been sinking quite as much time as I’d like into the story, it was otherwise a semi-reasonable goal.  This is also where having a daily morning writing habit helps, because I hadn’t really abandoned that (simply because it’s too unsafe to delve into the game before work), means I’m still plodding along at hundreds if not a 1K per work day.

Dear gods… I’m sorry!

Luckily, it’s come back (for now), so I made sure to heat up some dinner!

The inverse is also true.

World Domination can be used for good

Good vs evil can be in the eye of the beholder too.  Ends justify the means sort of thing.  Aside from Halloween fics, I tend to write my originals like this, where both sides believe they’re doing good even though it’s interpreted as evil by the other side..
