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.

CYS Monthly Gazette - 17 December 2025 on 12/29/2025 1:07:24 AMIt's not just a you thing, Enter has brought it up before and so have I. The fancy Canva pages that look like a REAL newspaper (!!!!) are cool to look at and at this point their signature style, but a bunch of dense text in that format is not something I'm ever going to be willing to subject myself to on a phone.

They were probably just going off my post about the tie, didn't realize I'd skimmed past Avo's actually.
But don't let me get in the way of the internal bloodfeud, you kids have fun figuring out who will run the prison.

Yeah, being real, it was Fresh and Bezro and there was no "possibly" about it. Ben not having any knowledge is the surprising thing to me, I always assumed this was something everyone in her four servers was getting DMed about like it was a new shitty tattoo.

Well they used a VPN, there was a lot of anecdotal reasons to believe it was Fresh with the help of somebody else though, possibly Bezro. (A possibility that Fresh herself kept coyly suggesting, but there was also something a little funny about the timing of the account's abandonment.)
Y'all sure were eager to interview that guy though.

We are having a New Year's contest soon where Wardens can win a special prize. (Because of their advanced specialness.) You should enter, and do feel free to bet your account against beating any hated foes that might be on your mind.

I don't want to give out specific prompts, the format seems a good opportunity for showcasing examples of genre fiction boiled down to their core essentials though, like Chris just did with cinematic shootouts here.

ThatIndianGuy? Hmm, you mean the gimmick alt created by a Gazette member that Gazette members publicly argued with and then immediately devoted a massive interview to as if they were the most important thing to ever happen to the site? Do tell us more.

I must've missed this thread when it was posted. We've got a few flash fiction threads for 100 and even 50 word stories that reached 100+ contributions. Let's see if we can turn this one into a showcase for 200 word stories.
I actually love flash fiction, it really highlights the importance of every word in a sentence and the use of strong verbs when you're making them.

The edits are pretty good actually, but I would never dream of offending you by giving an additional commendation to W*rden-kind.

Well, no, creating a couple of storygames and putting a page of sloppy text into each one as kind of a masking effect proving "seriousness' on a new account before proceeding with plans to draw attention to it in dumbshit ways isn't actually all that unique a tactic.
