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.

Hello! :3 on 12/11/2025 7:45:13 AMShe was asking RK questions and you replied to her instead with "lol idk". Flicking you away like a booger for jumping in for no explainable reason and bumping the thread to add literally nothing to anything being said is a perfectly valid response, but there are others you guys who just can't stop posting like this are going to like less.

Well somebody's got to cut all that papyrus.

He may honestly be the dumbest individual I've ever seen here that wasn't just immediately banned for their own good. (Assuming he's at least in middle school anyway, maybe he's like 9 or something though.)
In any case, he's lucky we place a lot of value on wholesomeness here, but he'd be better off just quietly reading storygames and rating awhile. That story is not going to make the cut for minimum standards, he's going to need a couple more years before he's at that level.
When a guy just offhandedly mentions that most of the stories on the site are BAD, it creates certain expectations that he's not going to produce poorly spelled drivel himself, and more importantly that he's going to rate some of those stories and explain why.
what do you prefer, as a reader? on 12/11/2025 12:49:25 AM
The item system exists, however it's no longer very popular and yes, many readers do find having to use items annoying. (The fact nobody was reading on a phone when it was first designed could be a factor.)
However since this seems to be an RPG you're trying to make, you've probably got a little more flexibility as far as adding more "game like" things that way.

You can access it through his exp page.
Fair warning that the font is pretty painful on the eyes, at least on mobile.

You have arrived in your room and turn on the news there has been reportings of a criminal named yul kim so you grab your pen. and as soon as your about to start righting his name you think "in the off chance someone dies, would that make me a murderer?" but you still right his name.
Sir, this is not a righting site.

The games are only visible (and accessible to people with the link) if the author has the Sneak Peek option on.
Anyway, looks like a fanfic. The account name is stringland and I've changed the password to the first part of the email it was registered with. (The part before the @)
Hey.. I've been gone. on 12/11/2025 12:17:15 AM
Welcome back! I'd wondered where you vanished too, I was hoping you weren't upset about the sleepover game being taken down.
Anyway, I see you've now entered your edgy phase.
The twist was a little predictable, but it's a complete story and it works. And while I think everyone has seen similar ideas done before, the pacing of setting up for the reveal with more than one scene was a good instinct, plus there's that extra twist on top of the twist; the last bit with the mirror implies something much sinister going on than just an insane or unreliable narrator.
Although, I had expected the actual cat to factor into the plot somehow given the amount of attention put on them though.
You really should read Gower's article on dialogue punctuation though. You've got a lot of dialogue here and that's nice to see, but that means the errors there repeat themselves throughout the whole thing.

Lol look at this kid. You don't make the rules here buddy.
And this is not a chat room by the way. You have created a thread, in a forum, a public place with an existing community with their own preferred way of doing things. You just walked into our house, said hi, and walked past everyone to squat over the litter box in the back of the closet basically.
