I think all the carapaces would interpret the book in rather odd ways. I don't know what they were thinking when they assigned it.

Did you know this is the only perfect drabble under the drabble tag in the Homestuck category? People are stupid.
Edit: huh. that was popular.

Chapter Three of Dammerung is up and absolutely nothing in it is ominous to people familiar with Exalted canon. At all.
It has been about a year since I updated the damn thing and I've had 90% of the chapter written the entire time. This is why I have to do a NaNo that's just based on actually posting things.
Actually, letting it sit was sort of a good idea. I ended up editing the conversation around from how things went in the game just to make it more natural. There's an anvil of a clue that got dropped originally that I'll introduce more subtly later. It's also easier to work out what a character would consistently say when you're not doing it on the fly.
Edit: also it's on Aoooooooo. Must infect all fandoms with my OCs.

Oct. 15th, 2011 09:49 pmA chapter regarding coffee and the merits of not standing up is up on the Archive and FFN. Did you know there's 611 fics over on FFN?
Taikyoku and SPerl
Jun. 30th, 2011 09:52 pmThe ninth FFN chapter of Taikyoku is up.
The third chapter of SPerl, Ascending, is done and posted on AOOOOOOOO and FFN.
I'm wondering if I could get away with making it a single-player session. The plan was three players, but I know people have done singleplayer sburb versions.

Also, the FFN version of Taikyoku Ch8 is up. It's the single conversation that is AOOO's Ch8, and half of Ch9. Still no real idea for things to happen during the dance. Dances are very boring things, people. You need to suggest things or you'll be bored.
Also cat, cat why are you sleeping you slept all day, you need to go hunt the bugs what else do we keep you for. If a mosquito bites me I will judge you so hard cat.

Jun. 25th, 2011 11:46 pmRereading the earlier comic to remind myself of the opening game bits and how sprites talk. I'm surprised by how early on John learns about, well, basically everything. I didn't remember that he learns about the whole Derse/Prospit thing in the first conversation. Nannasprite explains to him that there's an epic battle between good and evil and he just goes "well it's not really important though right? to me i mean." and that's it, he pretty much ignores it for the rest of the comic to the point I forgot he even knew.
Trying to decide what Spotsprite's info will be.

Ch7 of Taikyoku on FFN. You know, I haven't decided what their school trip should involve, beyond that it's going to be several days in length and needs to be at the end of a relatively long drive. Anime tradition is hot springs, but that's more of a visual trope and I'm pretty sure the only justifiable split would be Derse/Prospit (Although one can just barely justify a four way split by both color and gender). And while Droog spending the whole time trying to sneak into the opposite side's baths has its appeal, I'm pretty sure he's not that stupid. Slick is the one who should be involved, but I really can't see how.
The next chapter is probably going to be about the dance. What should happen during the dance besides spiked punch related shenanigans, which I believe were mandated back in 1995?
Fox Games is also posted there now. Deleted the other Creatures fic to keep my pretty 111. I need to stop doing one shots, or at least ones that can be posted on FFN.
It suddenly occurred to me that SPerl isn't an ensemble fic and I've been thinking about it all wrong. I've been stressing over how to balance it when the way I think about it is mostly centered around the main character, and the obvious answer is that there's no reason it can't be.

Taikyoku Ch6 up on FFN. With this, I've posted over 400,000 words there in total! In unrelated milestones, Homestuck fandom on AOOOOOOOOOOOO has passed the point where the archive works properly, although not yet the point where you have to jump through too many hoops to see all the fic. (That'll be at 2000+, when it's no longer possibly to set it to oldest first to see all the stories hidden in the default setting.)
SPerl Ch2 similarly uploaded. I have the beginning of the next chapter, but I really need to reread the early comic to get a better grasp of how things go.
Fox Games Not particularly satisfied with it - the branch point happens with virtually everyone dead, which makes things too simple, but I was trying to make the minimum changes. Even still it's not a true alternate timeline since it requires two changes rather than one. And there's the inevitable issue of trying to write for a character who I perceive as terribly inconsistent. It leads to the awkward feel that I'm writing her both too nicely and too harshly.
I may have to give up my pretty 111. The Homestuck category has irked me enough I was thinking of posting the Eridan/Feferi thing anyway.

Talk of Talking, the second chapter of SPerl, is up as bad decision theater continues merrily. Poor Maka continues to be unsuited for the game in almost but not every possible way.
I'll stick it on FFN tomorrow, after I answer PMs and review people and stuff.

Taikyoku update. Also, MSPA update.
Jun. 13th, 2011 12:42 amChapter Nine of my ongoing offense against the fanfic gods is up! Soooooooo read that I guess?
Speaking of fanfic I am tempted to write sympathetic Eridan fic just so there is sympathetic Eridan fic in existence that isn't creepy apologism. Or more sympathetic Vriska fic just because Vriskaaaaaaaa D::::
And I am terrified new updates will change Snowman's character and people won't write fic I want about her. Because I rely on others to write about Snowman. I am terribly dependent. It's not like Vriska, where people can think whatever they like about Vriska and I will write ALL OF THE FIC about how they're wrong if I must.
(Although if this is really her just death I will not be happy. I was just barely accepting it until I saw other people and how it'd get interpreted as proof Vriska's stupid, selfish, and to blame for absolutely everything.)

Ghetsis-chan is definitely trolling.
Jun. 1st, 2011 06:52 pmFFN forums are like watching a trainwreak, and then the track crumbles and it falls of a cliff, and then it lands on another train, and then a third one crashes into them, and then they fall off another cliff, and it's onto another train.
Also, more Taikyoku. Why is this not getting flamed? It's a high school AU, people, the only way this could be an easier target is if I had an OC hooking up with someone.

Category in review
May. 29th, 2011 10:30 pmCurrent reviews 1968. Wow, approaching recent history now. 111 reviews given on FFN, 182 total Homestuck reviews. Category continues to have a terrible review culture, with Fed having three times as many favorites as it does reviews. And I've netted no flames, though in fairness I think that's in part due to the fact I gave fewer harsh reviews to rage at.
Speaking of such lovely sanity, we have Creative Professor, Raye_nbow, eliasbloodmoon, shikaandshiro, and Super_Volcano.
( And now to complete our listing of characters. )
Doing a bit better on the girls' front. Not really that great, though. It makes me feel bad about Taikyoku. But not so bad I won't keep updating with existing chapters.
Also, it seemed like the girls' relationships were most likely to be ignored. I regularly complained about that with the Tavros fic and it's kind of there with a lot of the others. The web of connections among the girls and between the girls and everyone else has so much to do with everything that happens. I'm not sure if this is a direct thing or indirect - in general, people seemed to prefer to minimize relationships and emphasize a single one, so if most are about male characters, the female character fall by the wayside.
Also so much plotless shipfic, which seems like a general fandom issue.

My ongoing mental breakdown will be posted right after this, don't worry.
