A comprehensive quiz + bonus fan faction about the the underrated cult classic show "Kelly Unicornstrider and Friends" (1982-1985). Questions range from really easy to really difficult.
I think putting this on "publish" makes it so only we can see this. It's just for us, sweetie. I made it to celebrate our anniversary and remember some special intimate moments together over the years in an interesting way as a present for you.
I hope you love it, Natalie, as much as I love you!
(Of course if there's any admin looking at this, or if I messed up, don't read this, because it's got private things in it.)
This is my required report to the full faculty in accordance with the rules noted in the Faculty Handbook (version 15.1, as of October 2017)
"Personally I can only read 16 words in one go before words stop working," wrote Mizal.
This game has sixteen words per path. Not counting "The End." So you can play quickly.
When reviewing, please use precisely sixteen words. That should be plenty for your suggestions and observations.

All right, Mizal. You have successfully shamed me into making an identical resolution. Done. And double agree on Ninja's games.
Thunderdome 10: Suranna vs Lux vs ??? on 11/5/2023 5:20:51 PM
This was really tough. I think I have to give the nod to C, because, even though the story itself was not super strong, I thought it made the most successful attempt to capture the theme of that last stanza, sort of. I'm not happy about it, though, because I was itching to take my blue pencil to C's prose. But there we are.
Well, good job Lux, and Suranna, and the AI.

I just want to say how pleased I am with this topic. I used to teach that poem all the time, but then I realized I liked it too much to teach it.
Thunderdome 7: Peng vs Fresh on 10/10/2023 3:43:46 PM
I liked Story A better. I thought the prose was more varied and interesting, and the story was reasonably coherent. This was probably one of the closest battles I've ever seen here though.

You really have a way with enjambed lines. I thought it was pretty clever how you mixed up and varied your rhythm and line length in the service of the tension of the story--it was a good example of your pretty free form working in tandem with the narrative. It's cool to see someone do something interesting with free verse.

Monday Night WRITING Questionnaire on 9/7/2023 7:21:49 AM
I do a very full and organized outline, with placeholder text, for the important choices, including all of the variables that are going to change based on the choices, and the various minor branches that stem off of those major choices.
Then I sit down to write and I almost immediately find myself ignoring the outline because I came up with something funnier, and then the whole thing ends up ten times longer than I originally thought.
It's not a very efficient system, but it works for me.
Is anyone NOT playing BG3? on 8/25/2023 8:40:35 PM
I started it, but I happened to be in the middle of Divinity Original Sin 2, so I paused until I finished that. Uh, and a lot of writing. Like, a lot.
