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

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.

So icky it is, thank you for the honesty.
And yet you said most of your friends are girls. You should just have one of them make an account tbh.

I wonder if that could be because you're dogsh1t at explaining them and them like to dodge any counterpoints when people do make the mistake of trying to engage you seriously.

You know you're really starting to get a reputation as a guy who says breathtakingly stupid things and then won't explain them.
If you feel strongly about a thing you should be able to articulate why. Opinions don't form in a vacuum. If you said you hated oranges, or carbonated soda, or a book or movie for any other reason, there's a reason for that.
Or is this more of a primal kneejerk revulsion from the depths of the grey matter that doesn't make any kind of logical sense even to you?
That in itself is at least a kind of explanation. But are you really going to volunteer details like this as a part of a public discussion and then act all bewildered when people pretty naturally want to know why?

I don't see Chris whining.
And I did not imagine you'd be making excuses to avoid putting the guy that's been following you around telling you to kill yourself in his place. Sure hope people don't start getting the idea you like that sort of attention now.

Girls are icky.
And Blister has to sidestep and run off for a stimming session any time he's asked a question he doesn't have a good answer to. I am questioning more and more the idea this kid is in high school.

When the six moons rise over Ch'zx'ttk IV, the Z'rk sharpen their six scything appendages before the sacred Wkka stone in preparation for the Great Harvest..
Warrior Four Sixteen of the N'zzgaga Hive rips a bloody swath through an unsuspecting Softling village, in triumph hauling back bundles of bloody appendages and the Softlings' still mewling young.
The Laborer Caste by now has prepared the Octogonal Chambers, each one with a layer of fresh soil and soft and fragrant dried grasses collected last summer. Gently onto each of them is set a pile of flesh about the size of the abdomen of an adult Z'rk, then more soil and grass is heaped over it, except for a hollowed out depression.
The time comes upon Warrior Four Sixteen; into each of the hollows, one by one she begins to lay her translucent eggs, and this is the point where Blister tabs out in disgust at the realization he's been following the story of a female. It's just too weird now, man.

What is specifically the problem with books then?
