Single adjectives can be pretty encompassing.

If I have a whole bunch of soda-cans on a shelf, and I decide to sort them into two heaps; one for cans with brightly colored labels, and one for darkly colored labels, I will end up with just that, two heaps of soda-cans. If I, after that, decide the remove the sodas with sour taste from the heap with darkly colored labels, and move them to the heap with brightly colored labels, are the original description of the piles still accurate?

So chapter 13 is coming up, eh? It's in a sensitive stage right now... so let's double down on the triskaidekaphobia, with a 13th blog post

As always, cred to the usual parties, as well as a mystery-proofreader, who's insight helped me realize something.

Chapter 12 is... coming along. I've seen people post snippets of their unpublished chapters, this seems to me like a good time to do so. It's going slowly, and there's a holiday, so let's share some things. The first scene of MLAABQ: *chapter 12 placeholder-name*:

Edit: Oh, I should mention. Cred to Eckaji and Topaz Moon, as always.

(I tried coming up with some way to invoke an image of Willem Dafoe emptying a handgun into the air and shouting the blog-post title, but nothing worked )

So I just noticed that MLAABQ is now sitting in the The Good HiE List-group's submission-folder. This is a bit different to the other group-submissions that's been.

Let's get the second part of that out of the way first:

Sorry for not updating. I messed up some finals and I have to swot up some more for a retry. So while I expected to be able to relax with some writing for a few weeks, it turns out that the status of school is still in. So you can trust me when I say I'm sorry, because I really want my summer-break.

Twice a year, top-notch entertainment comes free to anyone with an internet-connection, and it's finally here!

People pour millions of dollars into flashy blockbuster-movies, and so few of them entertain me as much as five nerds with some dice, costumes and good comedic timing.

Also, Snuffy, have you blocked me? I'm having trouble answering your message

... And now I have posted a chapter! Feels great. I even started on the next one

I also got to meet John Rhys-Davies recently! He was really cool. He signed a DVD-box with Shogun, seeming happy that someone recognized him from something other than Lord Of The Rings. He even shouted 'Inglés!' on request

Many people have expressed their appreciation for my story. And I assume that there are some who haven't outright done so who still enjoy it, considering that they comment on things that happens after hours of reading.

So as previously mentioned, my story made a short appearance in the featured-box. But shortly afterwards, the amounts of dislikes had doubled, from an amount that had taken nine months to accumulate, making my story drop like a rock in the groups that featured it. I actually place some value on stuff like that.

As I am writing this, I have just recently spotted my story in the featured-box on FimFiction's front-page. Third place from the bottom.

I mentioned a few blog-posts back how I loved the fairly unrealistic idea of not partaking in any self-promoting activity and let quality be the only thing that would drag my product into the spotlight. Is this what's happening? Please let it be so.

This might not seem like much to a lot of you but it's something of a miracle for me. Thanks, everypony.
