I poked around here a bit back in March of 2014. That stuff has since been abandoned.

More recently, I began posting Zootopia fics. Maybe one of these days I'll go back to StarFox? Who knows.

And now for a quote from someone I agree with:

Back in the day, stories were distributed in hard copy. You put them out in the world and relinquished control. They were mailed to others, photocopied, and passed around. You don't get to take them back once you put them out there. If you find one at a garage sale, you are totally free to buy it and burn it. It won't change the fact your stories are in Mable's closet, Joann's nightstand, and John's backseat of his car. You gave up control the day you sent the hard copies out into the world. Right or wrong, it's an undeniable fact that you cannot physically take back all of the copies out there, nor can you prevent the photocopy machine from generating more..

When people share deleted electronic works amongst themselves, they're doing much the same thing. The only practical difference is that you are aware of it. How you feel is personal and unique. You are entitled to your feelings. But, the mindset of having eternal control of something you sent out into the world is unrealistic. Right or wrong, it ain't gonna happen.

Anyway, God is dead, and fandom is anarchy. So go ahead, do whatever the hell you want to my stories. Maybe a little credit to the author would be appreciated, but it's not like I can stop you from using printouts of my fics to summon the Krampus. But whatever you do, please, for the love of all that is holy, unholy, or any combination thereof, keep circulating the tapes!

TIME FOR UPDATES:

I've finished writing Chapter 23 (technically chapter 22) of A Rather Wonderous Journey! All I have to do now is edit, proofread, and post! It'll be up soon! I've been leading up to the showdown with the big bad for two years now, and it's close. Like, "close" as in, it'll be over in 2 chapters, unless I can find more bullshit filler "amusing tangents" to stuff in to the story.

Now, since multiple people have asked, no, agent Raymond isn't an expy of Rick Sanchez, and there is no Morty. Raymond and Rick are similar in many ways, since both fall firmly within the "well traveled fountain of exposition know it all" archetype: Dr. House, The Doctor, Doc Brown, Rick Sanchez, etc. Am I planning on doing some horrible things to my characters? Oh you have no idea, but don't worry folks, he's gonna' speak his mind one last time before the end. I'm thinking that I really put myself to it, I could finally begin act III sometime this summer. But will I?

I had a new idea for Zystopian Gods just today, though I still have no idea when it, or the next chapter will show up. I mean, I decided to include a joke in A Rather Wonderous Journey in February of 2018, and the chapter in which I included it finally saw the light of day in December of that year...we'll see how it goes.

I have an Ao3 account, and one of these days I'll get around to posting my stories there. One of these days...

I've been working on a new story, Contact, for months now, and it's finally out! Contact is the story of Fox McCloud paying TAME collar Zystopia a visit, the [REDACTED] that follows him back to Corneria, and how his severely autistic son with scary mind powers factors into all of this.

Contact is both my return to the StarFox franchise, an expression of some ideas I've had floating around for ages, my first fic to really tie into the SCP Foundation mythos, and a bit of a self-imposed writing challenge. I'm trying to keep it T rated so people don't have to opt in to seeing it. Crossovers are niche enough as is, and I'd like to broaden my reader base. If it goes well (and so far, it kinda is), I might start writing more StarFox stuff. I've had an idea kicking around since literally summer of 2017, and it might finally see the light of day this year.

Anyway, It's 5:20 PM, and I'm outta' here.
