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.

They do really love to push that stuff in your face. I saw one years ago where the camera abruptly cut out before the cat concluded their fumbled seeming jump to "safety", and there were enough people in the comments explaining the details of the scam that I've avoided them like the plague ever since, but can't get them out of my recommendations if I watch anything animal related at all.
Papaya's reddit rant reminds me too of the time I accidentally watched a murder the algorithm recommended to me that was labeled completely deceptively, after a lifetime of mostly successfully avoiding that kind of shit. I uninstalled for a long time after that too and pretty much only have crafting and cooking subs now.

It's still too soon for me to enjoy that one like I used to. (Not sure if it's ever not going to remind me now of how much the world sucked in 2025 unfortunately, with the way a certain president had to go and involve himself on top of the rest .)

I love everything Wes Anderson has ever done.

It was always an extremely strange movie to me, I can't say I exactly liked it, but it was mandatory every Christmas and certain parts are just etched in my brain now.
In hindsight it may have been the stopmotion that gave it that sort of off kilter feel, I didn't know wtf I was looking at and don't think I saw a whole lot of other examples until much later.

Dude I actually laughed out loud when I saw you'd even posted on the dead ass Adrift forum awhile back, that is some dedication to self marketing few can match.

The Wild Robot is pretty up there though, it's just way too recent for any nostalgia factor

What is everyone's favorite feelgood family friendly movie?
There are a few for me but if I picked just one it would be Mary Poppins, on the grounds I've found it infinitely rewatchable since I was 5.
