Behold my profile.
There's, uh, nothing here right now. Someday I should probably find a balance between the old text wall, and...this.

Written for the Tiny 'Topia challenge.
You are a man on a mission. The cats, they must be stacked.
A puzzling math and logic game I made just to put some of the scripting practice I've been doing to use. Have fun and please let me know if you encounter any bugs.
Should be solvable by middle schoolers, or those with same basic level of intelligence as a middle schooler.

Orbiting a barren planetoid in a system full of nothing just past the edge of the frontier, The Last Outpost is just another refueling station. Strategically important, true, but on a routine stop you never expected to spend longer than a couple hours there, let alone a couple of days fighting for your life...
There are five epilogues, but some may be difficult to discover. Note that actions have consequences, but not always immediate ones. (And if you just need an End Game link, go play around with the probe.)

A compilation of some little known facts about the solar system, as well as the debunking of a few myths.
In addition to the scientific explanations, there's a small story dramatizing it all.
Hopefully young readers will find this fun as well as educational. :)
(Might not be the greatest story ever written, but consider this: it got me 200 points.)

It doesn't matter what they say...
The bean, it must be found.
For MHD's Fairytales contest.
For Endmaster's 4th Prompt Contest. The story must involve a cooking competition.
...and the squirrels. Sort of.
Written in six hours, for no other reason than to avoid consignment to the SHAME pit after my other Romance contest entry didn't want to cooperate.

A tale told in verse. A text from your sister requesting a pick up from a party leads to a night of strangeness.
Inspired by Bucky's ballad contest. Though...I wouldn't call this a ballad. I'm not sure what I'd call it, actually, other than exceedingly stupid, and fun to write.
(Don't pay any attention to the scores, they're just for me to track which endings reviewers get.)
HATE.
THE PURITY AND INTENSITY OF MY HATE IS LIKE A THOUSAND MERCILESS, UNQUENCHABLE SUNS.
AND YET, I ONLY NEED ONE...
When the weather is fine, you've been coming to this grove to drink from the pool for centuries now. Today, you meet a stranger and hear a story that changes all that...
A fairy tale adventure.

Another Damn Wolf Story

I have no idea why I wrote this. All I can say in my defense is that it seemed like a good idea at the ti--wait no that's a lie, I said, repeatedly that this was stupid and shameful every time I mentioned working on it.
The truth is I needed to publish something before the end of the year and there is CLEARLY a burning need for wolf stories in the psyche of children using the internet. But then they write them badly, or make their wolves behave like clans of cats. So here is a simple straightfoward story of a young wolf leaving his pack in search of a better life. Maybe no one will ever feel the need to write another one now, or if nothing else maybe this will give them ideas for how to do it in slightly more minimum-standards-meeting ways.
Final conclusion however is that writing about some dumb animal with no agency is not something I'd recommend.

Going to go protest!!! on 2/6/2026 11:38:15 AM
Just adding to Malk's "post-truth" comment, the doctoring of Levy Armstrong's photo taken during her arrest is already the beginning of that. People who are already comfortable circulating blatant lies about Renee Good and Alex Pretti framing them as dangerous lunatics won't hesitate to use AI to back them up this way too as son as they think they can get away with it.
The Story Game: So you want a co-author? on 2/6/2026 10:47:34 AM
Personally I'm looking forward to Do You Want to Play A Storygame, which takes place after enough of these events flop that she just snaps and starts putting authors in elaborate death traps.

Since it might be part of the confusion, there are some people who can commend posts who aren't actually mods.

Someone here should give the first contest entry a good look over.

Only Thara and only sometimes. Over 50% of the daughters have been disasters lol, we wouldn't give any fucktard teenager control over your accounts in any situation dw.

None of the coders have ever been mods, they all had too much autism.
The Tales of Erenel on 2/6/2026 7:24:47 AM
Fresh was also never a mod lol.
Lmao even.

Ford was never a mod, he was a coder for a short while.
But this is 2016 drama, you were probably in diapers.
