Have a mini leffant!

Currently on Year Three now. Some notable changes include turning Sirius Black from an alleged murderer into an alleged terrorist and making Bellatrix and Voldemort Marvolo Gaunt have a political marriage.

Hoping to update Year One on AO3 this weekend, too!

HAP BIRF! And here's to many more years of telling life to go shpx itself. :)

Here is your official Old Grump badge. It looks like grumpiness; you can ask one of the Time Lords if you want more details (they've all got them, though I think Dis and the Agent share theirs).

Happy birthday, Spacegrape. ^_~

I can honestly say I did not expect to make it this far ten years ago.

I can say with equal honesty that the friends I've made here made me look forward to reaching thirty rather than expect to never see it.

Thanks gang.

Aside from slowly poking at my next book, I've been deep down the rabbit hole of Final Fantasy XIV fanfic writing. It's a world ripe with angst (as can attest the other poor PPC souls I've sucked into the story) so you know I absolutely eat that up, haha.

I enjoy reading the Doktor's missions too, especially the cuppa one.

...I'm tossing around some ideas for a fic about a defunct MMO. It's a bit rough figuring out what technology should be present in the setting, mainly because the game had a general lack of cohesion about how advanced the setting was. We're talking about a setting that seemed to be in medieval stasis, but the currency system was called likes (as in social media) and one of the NPC races came from another planet.

Not a NaNoWriMo project, but I had been trying to rewrite/redesigning one of my agents since she didn't feel right to me and didn't make much sense the way I had her before. Though, she may as well be a new character. Right now, I'm stalling on doing the next step, which I don't know what I want to do. I might write a rough draft of a mission with her in it.

Hello there! I'm Winsela. This is actually the second time I've gone through the introduction process; the first time was something like five years ago on the old board. I've been reading various missions off-and-on since that time, including the Original Series, and have found Doktor Trollenfisch's general demeanor to be highly entertaining. I've been in a variety of fandoms over the years, but the ones I'm currently a part of include Pokemon, Undertale/Deltarune, Transformers, and Doctor Who.

I'm looking forward to getting to know the community better!

Although I'm not doing the 50,000 words in one story thing, instead (like previous years) I'm doing 50,000 words spread across five different stories that I'm working on simultaneously. Currently sitting pretty at just under 40,000 words although I'm hoping to reach that target by midnight (so I've got just over an hour to do it and I'm sitting here typing this instead of one of my stories, go figure).

Really trying to push myself to actually write something every day, and I'm doing it so far. Whether it's any good or not, I don't know. Hoping to actually proofread everything I've written for NaNoWriMo (both this year and in previous years) in the new year and actually tighten it up as I know I've made some mistakes (like giving a character in one story two different first names, oops).

Outside of NaNoWriMo I am slowly working on my first mission, but that's taking a long time, but someday it'll be ready (I hope)

Oh and while it's not technically writing I have been made my company's unofficial proofreader, which is needed much more than one might think. I swear half of the management at work don't use spellcheck and could do with learning some basic SPaG.

P.S. I keep thinking about re-starting the Monthly Writing Prompts on the Board, not sure if anyone would be interested though. If anyone really is let me know I guess and I can start them up again.

I've been working on some non-PPC poetry here and ther. I could definitely share some of it here. I am also working on a MST for Minh's Asylum. The first part of it is up already, and I am writing the next part. I think that this kind of sporking works better for me than PPC mission style. Don't worry, I'm not leaving, and I may write some more interludes or something if I get the inspiration.

But they are horrendously expensive. I am not enough of a Tolkien nerd for all that. They look awesome.

The short length really helps, and the kids' conversation whirlwinding into words that sound like "distraction" feels like Classic Kid Stuff. I got a strong sense of everyone's personalities, and I like it!

I am not doing 50 000 words on one project, but I am currently on track for producing over 25 000 words in at least two different projects. One (new mission) is finished and in beta. The second project is my bestie's Christmas present. We tend to give each other prompts and a lot of freedom, either with fanfic or something original. Her prompts this year were very gothic and spooky, so that's the vibe currently. I am approaching 5K words there, but a thousand or so of them is synopsis and like... planning it out. (We are also writing a novel together and I've been keen on continuing that lately, so Adorable Werewolf YA Thing is a third project that's dancing through my head.)

If people are on the NaNo website, I am very open to being buddies! I am Ekwy there too, come find me if you want.

I’ve written only two chapters.

I've got a good amount of writings on the WIP rack at the moment - three missions, two interludes, and a DIA piece for PPC things. I've also been working on a spork for Minh's Asylum thing.

In non-spork related things, I've been batting around some original story concepts in my head, though I haven't gotten to actually writing any of them down yet. I... probably should eventually, come to think of it. Oh well.

Cute and clever! I love how each child shows some tell that they participated. Also, amused that Constance definitely knew beforehand and clearly didn't care that much in the first place! Also, kids emulating the canons they're learning is peak PPC—and peak real life, come to think of it!

The first chapter of a ... prequel plus reboot? of the very fanfiction my characters come from. I'm involving Mai Dire Fine stuff a lot in TWWA, so a way to have a decent read of the happenings from back then is now necessary.
