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.

What happened to Ford and 3J? on 3/19/2026 6:12:01 AMHe was on a plane that crashed in a South American jungle. After being taken in and having his injuries treated by a tribe of friendly natives, he shit in their water supply, stole their sacred idols, and gave them smallpox "for the meme", before fleeing into the jungle. Reports indicate that while trying to cross a river he had his legs and genitals eaten off by piranhas before being dragged out and cannibalized by another tribe, but by then nobody here was talking to him anymore so it's hard to say for sure.

She no longer wishes to go by that title, she's just The Shrimp now.

You're right, maybe they should check out Flight Rising instead.

Welcome to the site!
If you like Endmaster's stories you'd likely also like stories by ninjapitka and hetero_malk. Grimdark fantasy is a popular genre here. (Shadow of a God-King by Fluxion is also pretty great.)

Maybe this is the time for Malk to try again with the Iliad book club.
(Can't go any worse than the informal Crime and Punishment book club currently is...)

Lol, who knew "In exchange for pointless points and red text and a powerful feeling of surpassing your rivals" was the key. On the whole though users kind of sadly don't seem to do a lot of reading just for its own sake anymore, there are more efficient ways to get dopamine in everyone's more limited amounts of time, but then that's a trend reflected everywhere.

Of course the median age of users is going to be a big factor in activity levels as well. Sent made a meme once that went like this:
Could probably just swap the years out in the last section lol.

Before implementing the Final Solution, JJJ originally put hard rules on FG to try and curb the cat children and shitty freeform RP in general. And from the backlash there was a big schism because many users were only here for the RP. A lot of them went off with a user called DerpBacon in a furry exodus to a forum called "Realm of the Wolf God" or something like that. (Malk and Sent would have clearer memories, I was only lurking sporadically until 2015 or so.)
Creative Corner was what replaced Forum Games, but took awhile to see any real activity, and even now didn't compare in post volume. FG had something like 10x the activity of the Lounge.
