You harvest in the Arena.
Every machine needs a function, and that is yours.
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.

Bloodstained Ritual of the Night Is an Adventure on 1/22/2026 9:01:17 AM...would you be willing to record yourself doing your best imitation of the over the top voice acting? That would certainly give this thread a reason to exist.

I'd also like Cavus to read everyrhing written by Mara and WIBN please...oh. Well never mind then.

I'd like to request someone review Ninja's True Life, which hasn't had any new reviews but RK's for awhile now. It's one of his lesser read stories and not all that long, but it's one I really thought had a fascinatingly fucked up central character. (Edit: technically not the POV character though, brain blip)

I guess it was always fate that you'd inherit End's barrel of Ebola-ridden monkeys, much more on theme for you.

I still remember everyone thinking it would be Steve who would carry on the legacy of grimdark (but gayer). Of course that was back when Malk was his malleable sidekick who had too many emotions and didn't write.

Just add more to Erenel and make the new horde of minions read it before they wander off and get distracted.

I'll go with Flux.(Who would certainly have very different ideas on what ""the problems in America today" are then Milton, but unfortunately this take did not specify those.

Those are both terrible picks. Sherb wanted me to tell you he's absolutely disgusted at your ignorance too

Thanks guys for all that you do!

Well it's not Ace, he would've said a 5 gallon vat of neon yellow cheese snot.
