    Red flags in a fic: firts impressions

    OP mentioned multicross, so I’ll take it a step further. I usually just drop any story that crosses DC and Marvel. Look, I like both worlds, they are both interesting. You know what else they both are? Chock full of characters. Usually the only thing you get out of crossing those worlds...

    Looks like it’s another stare at my keyboard for hours without typing day. Grrr. Probably doesn’t help that I’m constantly trying to decide between more of my DC story, my Fire Emblem story, or a Marvel story that I really don’t need to start. Screw it, I’m just gonna play Pokemon and watch...

    Apologies for a relative lack of activity, I watched The Pitt over the weekend, and all my ideas are currently leaning towards medical dramas, which I definitely should not write, because I’m not a doctor, and the writers of House MD are probably more knowledgeable than I am about medicine...

    Is it just me, or does interaction on quests seem lower than average for anyone else? I mean, I'm not the most popular writer out there, but 2 votes in over 4 hours, especially on the first proper chapter is…really low, by my estimation.

    Sat down to write, and just when I started to get my momentum going, I get a call from my mother telling me the dogs have killed a skunk and I have to help her get it away from them, and get the smell out. So much for a productive day of writing.

    Been a little while since I updated any of my stories here. Sorry about that. I’ve been reading books, watching TV, and playing video games when I haven’t been doing work around the house. Trying to recharge my creative batteries, so to speak. Hopefully, I’ll have time to do some writing next...

    Ugh. Set aside time to work on Octavia’s interlude stories for Vampire Quest today. I got a whopping two sentences written in 8 hours. Hate it when this happens.

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Honestly, we need to start making bingo cards for rule change threads. Blatant misunderstanding of the original post, excessively inane hypotheticals, odd derails into legal issues, extremely bad faith interpretations of the rule, endless whataboutisms. Definitely could put together a card for...

    For Christmas this year, I made my very first beef wellington, and it turned out really well! Probably could have done with the crepes to protect the pastry, the bottom was a bit soggy, but it tasted great! Happy Holidays everyone!

    Alright, if anyone comes to check on progress updates on my works, I’m a little exhausted from being best man at my friend’s wedding. I probably won’t get back to my normal schedule until later this week. In the meantime, the Legend of Zelda mind control story I promised is almost through with...

    Just quit my job. This was probably not a financially sound decision, but the constant stress of being on call 24/7 was slowly killing me. Here’s hoping it all works out.

    I won’t say it’ll never return, but it’s very unlikely right now. I still love the characters of Sam and Aoibheann, but ultimately, I burned myself out trying to write that along with other stuff, and the dice rolling parts were barely thought out. Sorry, I know this wasn’t the answer you were...

    I promise, updates to things are coming, I’ve just been working this weekend. Hopefully, I’ll finally be able to finish the next chapter of Capes and Curses, then Vampire Quest, soon.
