Gentle rain sopping
a princess waiting on a vertical log
twisted fiber binding the wrists
to a backwards hug.

O'er the post of forced waiting
a single shadow
of bat and reptile
catching the rain on a v-shaped tongue.

"I apologize that you waited."
And there was a chuckle in the slithering voice.
"I don'g begrudge you."
And there was the brave smile.

"But perhaps in your infinite time
ans sense of this being your place
you could, please, undo this yarn

I... got featured. For the latest chapter.

I'm stunned and confused, like a duck hit on the head.

As anyone who watches the comments section of Game of Worlds knows, I recently got myself a professional critical review of the work from The Equestrian Critics Society. Because their format, schedule, and workload don't allow for a dialogue between author and reviewer, I have to turn to the greater mass of users on FimFiction.net to help me implement changes designed to address the criticisms made by arandompenguin, including helping me locate some of the erroneous or flawed material.

Dammit... why the fuck do these idiotic admins feel the compulsion to "fix" what's not broken... and then FUCK IT UP? First they do the site update where they blew up the feature box and did this weird arrangement of everything along the top, and now, they've ELIMINATED THE NOTIFICATION/MESSAGE ICONS? And is there an option for sometime to use the old version? Nope! Why can't admins ever make a site BETTER when they pull this bullshit?

No, I'm not Roman Catholic but I'm still very happy for them. By all accounts, Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a good and moral man and will be a fine exemplar and leader to the billion or more worldwide Catholics. He'll be the very first South American pope, the first to come from the Jesuit order, and the first to chose the papal name of Francis, very possibly in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi, one of the most venerated of Catholic saints. The quick write-up I read on him indicates that he's also

I really, really wish they hadn't inserted this bullshit downvoting-comments system... before, you actually had to get your backbone out of your gym bag and tell someone when you thought their comment was stupid or you disagreed wtih it or were offended. Now, you can just press a button and hide in a corner. This is inspired by my listing off things that I thought were wrong with out "The Magical Mystery Cure" episode did the Twilicorn transformation in response to someone's review of

...and his name is Jim Butcher.

For the tiny number of people who even slightly cared, I feel obligated to put "Five Weeks Till Midnight" on hiatus for the foreseeable future. "Game of Worlds" is consuming my focus and is proving a vastly more popular project that I'm finding easier to write because of a superior foundation ("The Empty Room") and better choices about format, length, and characterization. Ultimately, it's also more fun because Spite is a vastly more beloved (to me) and developed OC than the collection I
