There's, uh, nothing here right now. Someday I should probably find a balance between the old text wall, and...this.

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.)

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.)

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...

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.

She'll wait for the Butcher to lead, noting he seems a bit more spritely even with his parts falling off.

Sentence Structure Workshop on 11/20/2024 1:11:06 PM
Love the dialogue, it's really just the last line that feels clunky to me compared to the snappy back and forth of the rest of it.
Perhaps to tighten it up just something like:
'I had placed myself in front of the doorway, but she shouldered past me in a no nonsense manner and I went pinwheeling down the steps.'
'I blocked the doorway as I spoke, but she shoved me aside with an impatient hand and...'
'With embarassingly little effort she shoved past my attempt to block the door, and...'
"I had intended" seemed unnecessary when he WAS blocking the door, otherwise she wouldn't have needed to shove him aside. "Practically" is such an imprecise term it just feels like padfing for the sentence, and shortening the first half leaves you room to get a little more creative with the second.
I'm also assuming that this is an alien, otherwise "pinwheeling down the steps" would be bringing to mind some kind of grevious harm.
