    The Tentative Chapter Display Post

    So, I made a statement that I would finally post up some tentative chapters seeing as it has been so long since I've displayed anything. This would be that post. I've spent many hours before writing this post reading my work and doing an intensive edit (since my Editor was kind enough to dedicate the past two days to helping me with the push to get some chapters remotely presentable), and I am

    Have you ever woken up and...

    ... been down a vehicle due to it being melded into the engine block of a Honda CRV?

    I'm still trying to ascertain what fault of mine there was in this scenario, considering that it being declared a "total loss" basically only pays for the down-payment on another vehicle to replace it.

    It was just paid off at the end of September 2013 too. Ain't that a kick in the head.

    I forgot to title this first time because I'm a complete amature

    So, 26 days since I've written anything at all. Beyond just not having the ability to seek out the words I need to put together this second novel, I've not written a blog post, a short one-shot, a caption for a picture/photo I've seen... I don't even know if I've even written an email.

    A Disappointing Observation (The Morning Store Run)

    Today was going to be a day like any other, I thought as I stepped into the deli/convenient store this morning. Planned to order some breakfast, pick up an energy drink for the dual-purpose of waking myself up and shortening my life a little, and then head into work to question what I'm busy doing with my life and wondering if I will come up with good ideas during the eight hour grind that I may

Want to be a Development Coordinator? Well, this might be your chance! · 9:13pm Jul 20th, 2013

I have spent a good portion of today wrist-deep in RAW files trying to make heads or tails of how to make dwarves into ponies again in the newest build of Dwarf Fortress (since the mod version I was using previously is not compatible anymore), and I ran across something really neat!

Valikdu here looks to be a wizard of sorts, and with great mystic knowledge, has released a new mod version to place ponies in a world of magma and sadism coding!

Check out this blog post by the mod author!

So, if you've ever had an interest in learning what "FUN" is all about or perhaps just want to live a day in the shoes of The Development Coordinator, yet had a phobia or general dislike of beards, maybe placing in the creatures of Equestria instead will give you enough reason to check the game out and give it a chance!

In addition, for those who have been interested, but just cannot bring themselves to toil through the experimentation and keybinding menus, this nifty quick-start guide is quite similar to the one I learned how to play from. Just wanting to give some help for new players if they don't have the time to wade through all the guides available.

I remember downloading Dwarf Fortress, and I literally had no idea what to do, so I might have another crack at it later on.

...It is good to stumble upon another Dwarf Fortress fan on here, even if I don't know exactly how I found you. Was going through my feed, and links happened, and now... I'm here.

Ah well, I'll have to take a look at your story now. I'll try and post some comments when I do that. :P

1345234 Well, glad you dropped in! If you're a fan of the game, you're sure to be able to spot the dwarfiness that's been masked within this story. I can't say to expect it to be as focused on the game like a succession game (like Boatmurdered), but hopefully it'll still entertain.
