    Ot No, It's WriteOff Time

    The sun, moon, stars, and hearts of all WriteOffTopia have aligned in a never before seen triple helix shape, finally allowing the Dread Prompt "Ot" to escape its prison beneath the long forgotten dreadwaves. So, if you want a chance to write some silly or serious or

    Happy New Year!

    And more importantly to me because calendar breakpoints are functionally arbitrary: new story going up soon. Soon-ish, it's in queue, however long that takes. Nothing too fancy or too long, just a mildly expanded version of one of my recent WriteOff entries.

    Fin

    I self banned myself from FimFic until I could get around to watching the finale. Of course, I had to watch all of season 9 first, so it took me a while. I had nearly 60 notification to go through and, full disclosure, I kind of skimmed them because...

    My heart hurts. I physically ache.

    WriteOff Shill: Redux: Artlectic Bugaboo

    So, it's about that time again. Figure I'd plug the WriteOff event before it actually got started this time. Seems helpful. Anyway, this is one of our odd rounds, called "pic2fic." Instead of writing a story based on a prompt, we'll be having art submissions based on the chosen prompt and then writing our stories based on one (or more) pieces of the submitted art.

Sleepless in Philomena · 11:05am Jan 29th, 2013

I had something resembling a decent sleep schedule going for a couple of weeks. It was a valiant effort. Truly, it was. But here we are - or I am - at nearly four in the morning with naught but the sound of keystrokes and pen drops to keep the quiet away.

I'm not actually using a pen. I don't like how they feel. But, "keystrokes" is two syllables and "pencil" is already two without a verb implication and I wanted to keep things even.

There's not much else to be said here. Oh, I lied. I've been replaying Final Fantasy X this week (oh look, found the cause of my insomnia!) and I've noticed some pretty harsh tones in the game I didn't catch the first time around. As a whole, it seems to carry a very anti-religious theme. If you're familiar with the plot and the truth behind Yevon, I'm sure you understand what I mean. Couple that with one character's rampant and open hatred of the race of non-believers, along with their near global persecution, and you have a recipe for pissing off somebody, somewhere. If you're not familiar, I don't do spoilers so it's up to you to find out! Ha.

Have fun guys.

And not that it's terribly relevant, but I think I've figured out how to reconcile the latest Discord episode with my head canon surrounding my not quite stillborn story, In the Mind of Chaos. There's a plan now, which is more than I've had for a long time. Whether it goes anywhere is anyone's guess.
