Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Wednesday, Wordpress and Sundry

I did it again. I futzed around until it was too late to stream before the 10AM curse.

So my PLN now is to do a bit of shopping with my time. I need to get vegemite and cat food.

After I get back and stream, I think I'll focus my energies on footnote checking and at least one chapter summary.

Once the anthology is fully edited, I can get it out on the interwebs for your reading pleasure.

Once the novel is summarised, I have to work on the NEXT one. BLARGH.

I have over two hundred footnotes to check. Pity me.

At least I'm doing my best to not have to do it again.

I shall be giving my readers a piece of the fanficcy variant of A Devil's Tale so I can plausibly do other things.

I might even include mapwork into that "other things". We shall see.

Challenge #03662-J009: Gentle Corrections

Two travelers: a massive bugbear, and a small half-fae. The bugbear, a priest of the Church of Wraithvine, soothing, kind, soft-spoken; the half-fae, fierce, a warrior, and the bugbear's protector. Unfortunately, people get them mixed up all the time, much to their detriment. -- Fighting Fit

[AN: I have, in the world of Alfarell, fae-kin: people who came from, or are related to people who came from the Plane of Magic, also known as Nanogh. So that means I can make up

Tuesday, Catching Up, Patreon, and all that jazz

The cursed mower started working just after I got everything together to move it. Hooray, I guess. So my heavy lifting was hauling boxes of stuff off to lifeline with the full understanding that I have a zippy little TARDIS car that can move lots of stuff at once.

I now have a completely improvised phone holder for those fun occasions where I need my GPS. It still needs some tweaking, but that won't be happening today.

TODAY my focus is on:

Challenge #03661-J008: To Everything, Turn, Turn, Turn...

When is it appropriate to kill? And when is it appropriate to allow yourself to die? These are questions roiling through the head of the young adult who is on their first job as a ship's human, protecting these kind scientists who were treating him as if he was their own family. -- Anon Guest

Human Zan's first log entry on the first day of his first job as Ship's Human was, Sweet Powers, it's full of nerds.

Sunday, Beach Day

It's the last day of holidays for Friendo Awesome, so we're taking her and KIABIL up to Rainbow Beach for fun times in the sun times.

Expect me to look rather red for the next couple of streams.

Speaking of streams, I won't be online for some time. There's a high chance that I might not be able to stream at all today. If that happens, there will be a twofer tomorrow.

I will not be taking my "security blanket" - aka

Challenge #03660-J007: Save the Warrior

The ship blew apart, the last one aboard, the human. One last message as it rammed into the enemy flagship, causing the enemy forces to be completely crippled. "One Life for the saving of millions, I'll gladly pay it!" But... what happened to the human? No body was found. -- Anon Guest

This was the battle that stopped the Vorax from using their Dreadnaughts. The Humans - in their near-eternal battle with their traditional enemy, other Humans - had come up with

Saturday, Parkrun and PLNs

I did the 5K, enjoyed company and snackage. And then just about fell over thereafter.

That's why the stream happened closer to sunset. And there's another reason it won't be happening tomorrow.

The fam is heading out with Friendo Awesome to Rainbow beach and having some fun times in Meatspace.

I fully expect to not have the wherewithall to do much more than the daily tale.

NEXT week, I shall be getting on with getting on. Fingers crossed.

Working out where to

Challenge #03659-J006: Balm for a Shattered Heart

They care deeply for Wraithvine, and ask them out on a date. If rejected, they take it well and ask if they could at least sit and talk over tea. If accepted, they smile, and plan for a wonderful dinner. -- Anon Guest

Once an immortal has been an immortal for a few eras, the signs start to show. Not in wrinkles or grey hairs because immortality isn't worth spit without the associated eternal youth codicil. What gives an immortal away, after

Friday, Very Late Start

Beloved was not feeling very peachy keen this AM. Nasty cramps. Alas, an upgrade from the hot-water bottle is going to cost three figures and cost us a lot of time in waiting for the thing to arrive by post.

Bum.

I have called my dentist and reschedule my appointment because economical offsets. I have cleaned out the catio. I have yet to feed the Starters or create The Bikkie.

I'll be doing that after the stream.

Which should be happening very,

Challenge #03658-J005: Unskilled at Bargaining

A dragon "kidnaps" Wraithvine's friend, Gikka, and flew off with her. Though, oddly enough, seemed to be flying slow enough to let Wraithvine keep up. Only to gently put Gikka down by a pile of books, and ask Gikka to please teach them how to read, offering dragon's gold in return for the favor. -- Lessons

Kobolds and Dragons go way back. Some say that when the world was very new, Dragons allegedly created Kobolds to be their servants. You know, since

Thursday, Best-laid PLNs

I wuzgunna work on a summary of Beauties today. I wuzgunna tag another week of fics for the app. I wuzgunna ensure another fifty footnotes in the anthology.

...and then my wrists went kasplat.

I have the story done for today, and rubbish to put out for collection. Beyond that, I am resting my wrists and hoping I can get to the rest of it later.

I hurt and I'm tired and I would like to try getting better about doing all

Challenge #03657-J004: Lessons From Ozymandias

This was a Deregger world, as cold, as harsh, as they came. This....WAS... a Deregger world... so... why was the new, young owner of this empire holding out a hand to the lowly plebian child who was thin and crying in the street? Why was he... carrying the child and handing the child to the family... wait.. was he... helping them? Helping them???? And how in the he... was he making all those profits? This was a DEREG world! WAS. --

Wednesday, Wordpress and PLNs

I stayed in bed with my Beloved for a little too long today, and wound up streaming at 10AM.

Whoops.

BUT I also didn't have the 10AM curse happening to me.

We did not alter anything, but the compy failed to slow to tar and attempt to die. Huzzah. I am not going to fault it at all for surviving and defeating the curse.

I'm pretty much pointing to True Love's Kiss at this point because NOTHING ELSE DID ANYTHING.

BUT it

They sat Deathwatch as the entire polity's leaders refused the "evil" medicines that were desperately needed to cure the deadly virus sweeping their empire. The leadership died of the virus, the few people left, the sick and the very few immunes, reached out. The leaders are gone, please help us? -- Anon Guest
