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.

The Review Club on 3/14/2026 6:00:20 PMWell we'd been trying to figure some things out since he just suddenly ghosted the Discord and had been avoiding mod discussions for a bit before that. (Stuff that was suggested by users such as establishing guidelines on certain things.)
He's apparently still talking to Mystic though and she's reported that he'll still be updating this thread, just isn't interested in involving himself with the rest of the community at the moment.

I am hoping Will still intends to run this and that things are generally okay. His stories are still up at least though lol which is a good sign.

Wow, Chris, such an asshole.

Mr favorite part was when I greeted him by telling him to put a gun in his mouth, and he had absolutely no reaction, almost like he'd heard that one a few times before

I don't get the reference but I do hope it means this one is real.

Wish I'd seen this when it was posted, I always get sniped on the actually easy ones. Only other person would've been Cavus but he's more generally articulate in how he phrases things.
I would love to see a review that talks about the "plot holes and lack of scope" in detail rather than another collection of numbers that conveys very little to anyone else of course.

Doesn't look like him.
But look, if it's necessary for you and Eire to suffer brutal and repeated anal violation and live the rest of your lives in a feudal system unprotected by rule of law, that may just be what's necessary to protect me, a law abiding American citizen, from the tiny old lady that makes my breakfast tacos. And that's a sacrifice I'm willing to have you make.

"Get to work, piggy," was what End said to his mom last night too.

Okay I'm really going to have to jump in on this one. A book was directly referenced (by you!) and somebody posts a quote from it that's arguably the most famous (and topical!) passage in dystopic literature, in reply to another post that references it. You don't need to memorize text word for word to recognize it the scene, that has as much to do with the topic as how many books you read in a week.
Sheesh kid, just take the L here, I don't think you can save this one and it's getting a little painful to watch you try. (lol)
