Prophecy Scroll: Ghost Peppers

The Grav-Van slid to a stop, and the team pulled out. Seven hobbgrots clad in beige protective suits, each uniform and identical other than the nametag appended to the lapels, a line of buttons going down to the bottom of their jumpsuits, a black utility belt appended to each of their waists, black rubber boots and gloves covering their extremit...

Marbles Chapter 3

Things get easier and easier as you establish a groove. By chapter three, you should have most of the parts necessary to focus on narrative, and at that point its just a matter of momentum.

See, writers will complain all the time about writers block, but you wanna know the best way to actually get work done writing? Fucking write! Write as...

Marbles Chapter 3 Pt 2

After that, I shuffled my way back into the building, Ollie waiting for me by the stairwell to his office. "Oh no, you're done for the night: hit the bricks, I'll have one of the other guys cover for you," He said.

"Thanks boss," I said, actually somewhat grateful. Christ, I needed to detox. Ollie frowned. 

"Don't thank me: Ace ...

Marbles Chapter 2 (DC SI)

Chapter two. Typically in a story, these are both a little easier and a little harder. At this point, you've established, typically, the premise, setting, and at least some of the principal characters. Preferably a little of all three but at least two of them. If you're a bit hackish you usually only have one.

That lets you focus a little ...

Marbles Chapter Two Part Two

After I had gotten the location of the place I was expected to clock in and out yet, a small wall panel in the offices that ran Kronos. 

Like all other times I had used Kronos since crossing over, it was the same number: 67495. I have no concrete evidence for why this was, but my prevailing theory is that the way your universe works i...

Marbles (DI SI)

Back when I used to write fiction, beginnings were always the part I struggled with. Y'see, once you get going, once you get past the awkwardness and build up a proper narrative, writing isn't so hard, especially if its something you're invested in. But the beginning, well, the beginning doesn't have a narrative: it exists to set up a cast of ch...

Prophecy Scroll: Water

In a potential future…

On a train Erichtheo, there existed a Tau. Por'Vre Hul'aan Al B'kak of the Water Caste, or as he was known casually, Al B’kak. He was a diplomat: in his lifetime of thirty one years he had negotiated mercenary contracts with band of Kroot Hunters, had mediated territorial dispute between Demiurg ...

Batay Vètyè Pt 3

TRIGGER WARNING: from this point on this event is gonna involve some disturbing imagery, especially towards the end. 

The Old Machine took control of our sensory equipment, our networking. Even then, we could not fully comprehend them. They are magnitudes above us. A single thought was immense, overwhelming, unknowable. 2023-08-16 19:29:03 +0000 UTC View Post
