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.

Kudos to Wildblue, this thread has made me laugh, made me cry, and in a recent development apparently made me poop myself while that creepy bastard Milton watched. Mystic called it the most successful co authoring project the site had ever had. But take that with a grain of salt because everyone is in agreement that Mystic is the worst mod. Also ban mizal.

Damn, love the new pfp.
Almost unfortunate she had to keep it rated PG though lol. Can we get a big version in the other thread?

That's the one Mystic just linked to.

It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Tin Cans Dirty Mouth was a Dark Lord of the Fifth (of vodka), so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about (ban mizal) from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his cheese, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice stole his cheese, hid it under a nightstand, and killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
Mizal, also ban.

But welcome to the site! If you've been lurking and reading awhile you probably already know the basics. For whatever stories you have read, it'd be cool of you to rate them and leave at least a short comment, authors thrive on feedback and always like to know someone new is checking out their work.
You've probably already figured it out, but grimdark fantasy is kind of the specialty here. We've got plenty of other content too, the hand featured on the main storygames page are a good place to start...just not going to list out any specific recommendations without being sure we've you'd already read.
(please don't be another troll alt...)
