A Stack of Cats

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.

Agent of Order

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.)

Facts About the Planet and the Solar System

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.)

Inseparable

It doesn't matter what they say...

Jack the Bean Counter

KOBOLD KEBABS

For Endmaster's 4th Prompt Contest. The story must involve a cooking competition.

Love is for the Birds

...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.

Now You Gotta Deal With This S***

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.)

Read My Stories or Die!

HATE.

THE PURITY AND INTENSITY OF MY HATE IS LIKE A THOUSAND MERCILESS, UNQUENCHABLE SUNS.

AND YET, I ONLY NEED ONE...


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Silver Horn, Silver Hooves

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

Character Creator

A list of storygames with substantial effort put in, all written in the last couple of years and sorely in need of ratings and reviews.

A modernized guide to the forums. The path to internet popularity and happiness, and a few CYS specific do's and don'ts.

You of all people should recognize autism.

Okay, so how this generally works is that "sex" (as in the designation, not the act) refers to male or female in the biological sense. While "gender" is what someone mentally identifies as, which affects how they dress and act and present themselves in public and the way it's polite to refer to them. . There is not always or even most of the time surgery involved the way you seem to be imagining. (You think people can afford medical procedures in America???) Surgery is more of an extreme, people can be trans without that. I guess think of it like this, say you woke up tomorrow in an alternate reality where you were a white guy who everyone thought was French. You would know, internally, that you were Iranian, and it would feel really wrong for you every time your looked in a mirror, and to have people making baguette jokes or expecting you to act like a snob and dress like a faggot, and to constantly refer to you as "that weird French guy." So that's basically how it is for trans people, they just "know" they're a different gender than the one everyone thinks they are and treats them as by default, and it feels wrong and uncomfortable for them and in a lot of cases causes genuine mental distress. So even if you think the whole thing is weird and don't agree, it's still the polite thing to do to at least use the preferred pronouns to make somebody feel more comfortable. And you might try looking up gender dysphoria for an explanation of the actual mental effects.

All you really need to know on the internet is what pronouns to refer to somebody by. Over text anybody could technically introduce themselves as anything anyway and you'd never know. They/them just happens to be grammatically annoying, and I also get irritated when people I already think of as one thing go and change it and then I have to try and remember. Especially when some will be a little indecisive over the years. But Morgan was born with girl parts if that matters. (And presumably still has them!) It's not like everybody who thinks of themselves as one gender or another goes off and has surgery over it.

You used it because you thought your ex girlfriend gave you street cred, Cel had started using it as a 1:1 replacement for black people. These things are not the same for those of us who know you, but forum posts show up on the front page for any passing casual glance. There are too many people out there who are heiling it up unironically now and they've ruined it for the rest of us. But who knows, perhaps one day Petros will come back and the hard r will once again ring free and clear throughout the land.

Damn, snow AND thumbtacks? The weather in California sure is something. (Are you sure those weren't hypodermic needles?)

If there's a legit reason you don't want this seen you're going to have to be a little clearer about it.

14 entries and then Hatter's highly illegal act of madness, I'm genuinely impressed. You all did good. (Unless I start looking at these and decide a couple of you actually did bad.) The rough edges are a part of the fun for something like this though, so resist the urge to secretly polish. I'll have a feedback form up tomorrow and everyone can take a few days to look through these and vote.

Uhm, ACKSHUALLY, this is one minute late... You are real lucky I'm not Endmaster.

And that's time! I have to leave for work in four hours and still need to at least glance at these disasters.
