So.

As is pretty obvious, I’ve been on a bit of a writing spree lately. Ideas are forming, and being translated to words on a screen. I don’t know how long this bout of energy to churn out words will go on for, but make hay while the sun shines, right?

Morning all!

You know, these days I'm largely writing for myself. Which is to say, I'm no longer hugely concerned with getting as many views as possible. Story ideas occur in my head, and I write them out because I enjoy the satisfaction of them being transcribed into reality where other people may also read them.

Phew. It's been a minute, huh guys?

At this point, I'm not even especially sure how many people will read this. But there's some therapeutic gains to be had by getting thoughts written down, so here we go. An update. If you're reading, here, have a cookie.

What the title says. Sorry about the sudden unexplained hiatus, and obvious issue regarding the lack of a certain fic I was meant to upload. Something tantamount to an explanation this time next week, at the moment I'm still figuring things out and trying to find my feet.

So. On The Rocks. Out tomorrow.

So, I decided that for this blog, as a little celebration, I'd share for you a little bit of information about my OC! All enclosed for your convenience in this little guide:

Right, my contest story is done, just got approved by the Fimfiction deities. If you haven't heard yet, this contest to which I am referring is the UKofE Monthly Fimfiction Writing Contest, which, like most writing competitions, is the whole 'get a prompt, write the tale in X amount of words' kind of deals. This was supposed to be a way to give myself a great big boot up the arse, get my

Y'all know that GeodesicDragon fella? The Scottish legend? The Irn Bru chugger? The mustache twiddler? The merciless immobilizer?

He has some competition for his readings. This guy here!

Granted, he doesn't have Geo's luscious Scottish tones, but he has a lot of enthusiasm. And he did the voices too! Also, the less said about the American take on a British accent for Octavia's voice, the better...
