QT Contest Rule Change, Stories, and Ribs · 3:18am Dec 9th, 2021
To give people a better chance at getting points from the Quotable Trick Contest, winners will now need to skip the following contest. This way somepony besides mishun will be able to get points. 
funfunfun has 'unf' in it twice, tiny man-horse 
(...and I'll get maybe three more weeks of respite before mishun can force me to do custom insert disturbing thing here for them by making me put yay yay up into the highly ohmygoshohmygosh with you didn't really think this would be pornographic (gasp for breath), and but seriously while on digital camera with a wide range of them available.) 
In the future, I might extend this to skipping two or three contests; however, if I do, I will probably run more than one contest per week so people skilled at QTC can still accrue points at a decent rate! Because much like Ford Prefect, I play to lose. 
I have some plans for moving forward with stories. Everything has been slow because working and having ME/CFS does not allow wolf time for anything else. I'll be in the Hearth's Warming (Jinglemas) exchange again (story will be posted on the 24th) and I'm in the Gen 5 bingo contest with an amazing story that I'm hopeful will place because it is perfect (will probably be posted around the 30th).
I'm considering moving a few stories from here to a different account. I'll mention it when it happens. I might be doing a full rewrite of the BigMcLargeHuge story again. I need to get my ducks in a row with the staff once I make some decisions, and I can't concentrate on that until after finals week.
I broke my ribs again and ow. This time I didn't do anything. We have no idea what is going on. Maybe it's not broken ribs, maybe my liver explodes every few months or something. It feels like ribs but this is weird and they never actually confirmed ribs the previous two times. I see the doctor next week.
Don't break your ribs or do something that feels like breaking your ribs, especially by doing nothing that would cause any of that. This is my advice to you.
Still no idea whether I'll finally recognize a quote, but the change does at least make it more likely I get it in time if I get one at all! :D
Glad the QT Contest seems to have been going well, by the way.
"Because much like Ford Prefect, I play to lose.
"
A reference I actually get. :D
Good luck in the contest!
Oh, huh. And good luck with whatever's going on with the potential account splitting and duck-arranging thing.
And with finals week.
Oof. And sorry about the health difficulties; good luck with those, too, certainly.
Oh dear. Here's hoping it just feels like your ribs broke.
Maybe it's more time-related: original time was 03:00AM for me (being at UTC+3:00), but for other folks it seemed more convenient. To randomize schedule may be an option.
Same place?

Maybe! I don't know if something other than ribbreak would be a better possibility. If it's ribs and there's a way to fix it, I'm all for it. Maybe there's something wrong with my bone density or there's a drug I can take or something; no idea. Of all the medical specialties, bones are one of the few where I don't know too much to be dangerous (yet). Unless it pertains to hormones that affect bone growth, I do know too much about that already.
(Protip! Place a parathyroid gland on one side of a bone for fun times.)
I just want it to stop happening, but I'm optimistic, because I'm insane and Thorax forces me to be optimistic.
No complaints.

It's two places, both near the zenith of the ribcage (which is cartilaginous), dexter. One spot is right there between (I think) ribs 9 and 10, or maybe 10 and 11, and then I get pain in the back too near the right kidney. I suspect hairline fractures in rib 10 in two places. If this is from something mundane, I might need medication for OCD so I can sniff and cough and clear my throat less frequently.
We'll figure it out.
I hope you are all right. My aunt supposedly had bruised ribs, but it turned out to be heart trouble (again). Get real serious about investigating this with the doctor and ask for a referral if necessary! Get a stress-test or whatever it is they need to do!
Also, BigMcLargeHuge makes me think of MST3k. I would assume you're a fan, which is an illustrious thing to be and places your taste in shows high in my esteem, but if you're not already an MST3k fan, seek out their riffing of Space Mutiny.
Happy holidays!

Yep, that is the reference.
That gif is giving me "Nice cock, bro." vibes.
