    I Miss This

    I do. I just wanted to say. I'm trying to get back in, but focus is hard and time is limited.

    Probably best to post things when I finish them, anyway.

    Conlang Ponish

    Has anyone ever done a conlang workup of Ponish? It doesn't have to be GOOD but I could really use some idea what it might sound like to a non-Ponish speaker. I'm a novice conlanger and I COULD go down that rabbit hole, but it's probably not an effective use of my time.

    It's an effective use of someone else's time, tho. :ajsmug:

    Any help is appreciated.

    Getting Some of My Mojo Back

    Not sure what I'm going to do with it. Doing a lot of furry art and comics right now on Furaffinity, and my normie erotica is still what keeps the lights on.

    Miss horse butts and horse drama tho. And I have SO many unfinished fanfics.

    This Past Year Has Sucked

    And it's still ongoing. There are some things you want to do, something things you have to do for loyalty, and some things you have to do for survival. If there's an afterlife, I hope I can just write and draw and put things in a library when I'm done with them. It doesn't matter if anyone but God sees them. I want to make things forever without being interrupted by the needs of life.

God this chapter is horribly [edit: Emotionally] painful.

Like. I've read worse. But I don't think I've written worse.

Your writing can't be worse than mine. From what I've read of your stories, you're a much better author than me.

Hehe I meant horrible/bad in terms of emotional pain and graphic suffering.

While recognizing I am a long way from Ursua Le Quin I rather like my writing. :twilightblush:

Also have I complimented you on your King in Yellow icon? That's a pretty neat icon.

No you haven't. But you're the first to recognize it.

No one reads the classics any more.

I'm actually more a fan of Derleth's writings in cosmic horror than I am Lovecraft's, a little less racism. Don't get me wrong, I like Lovecraft's work, especially his ability to make you feel the character's paranoia, of course it helped that he was a complete and total emotional trainwreck.

Quite agreed on Lovecraft.

If you haven't read the King in Yellow by Robert Chambers I highly recommend it. Not exactly Hastur's origin -- I think he comes originally from 'ominous hints' in a Ambose Beirce story? Thus some of the fascination. I also like Laird Barron and Thomas Ligotti for a modern take on cosmic horror.

I haven't read a ton of Derleth's mythos stuff. I should fix that.

Lovecraft got his idea for Hastur the unspeakable from that story. He also heavily referenced the works of Howard in his stories, seeing that the two were correspondence friends.
