Really, I enjoyed it very much. I approve of those sweaters. Just the humor in general was amazing. Oh, and, can I just say, I like Peregrinus a lot.

This is also the first MST I've ever read. I'm lucky. It's a good first-time. :)

...of stabbing Dark Lords with sporks. And the immense stupidity of that fic... ouch. I think I might need some Bleeprin.

I did really enjoy the MST, though, despite the mental agony.

[REDACTED] does not exist. You should not believe in [REDACTED]. There is no plan to take over the world using snow to [REDACTED].

That aside, welcome back and happy birthday, Snowy! Have a Generic Cake!

Two people with Snow in their names have birthdays so close together? It's a conspiracy, I tell you! Seriously, though. Welcome back. I've heard nothing but good things. Have a little glass bird! No reason, I just thought I'd offer you a little glass bird.

Nice to see you more active! The best to you in life and general stuff! Thanks for helping me with my writing.

The MST I did so much research for. Here's part 1 and Part 2

I realize I've been absent for about a year. The short version is that I left my old family and found a new, better one. I'm picking up the trappings of an old life. I really want this community to be a part of my new life too, so I'm back.

I'm turning 24 today! I celebrated yesterday by marathoning The Lord of the Rings movies, which was a lot of fun. On a tangentially related note, I am going to build a hobbit hole someday. Most of my new family each have their own idea for small, complimentary businesses, and we decided that we will eventually build a very large hobbit hole and run a bed & breakfast, small cafe, book and gift shop, and small farm together. Which is going to be fantastic.

Obviously I still write fanfic, though significantly less than I used to. I also pulled up the notes for my Mission and will probably be continuing that soon, too.

So, since I'm waiting for my new cowriter Aelit to finish catching up with what I've released so far, I've converted a "proof of concept" piece into an actual small chapter as what happens in there is actually in parallel to the main story as of now.

Featuring Keiko's grand entrance in the World iwthout Authors, and that of a new girl who already managed to weird her out and will weird out my main cast even more. And also a giant robot. Because everyone likes giant robots.

(Corolla, shut down the opening of Megas XLR. It's catchy, but the Mobile Suit we've got here is not from there.)

The chapter is available as usual on Wordpress... https://rc1587.wordpress.com/2020/03/23/the-world-without-authors-03-5/

But, on Aelit's suggestion, we've also set up a Tumblr for both Blank Sprite and World Without Authors, so you can read and comment on the platform you like best! https://world-without-authors.tumblr.com/post/612031788977651712/the-world-without-authors-chapter-35

Because we haven't had one of these half-hour writing challenge things in a while, and since we could use more excuses to congregate over the internet, I'll be prompting people at a slightly earlier time than usual.

The time is

• 5 PM Pacific
• 7 PM Central
• 8 PM Eastern
• midnight of the next day UK
• 1 AM Europe

on Tuesday (or what's technically Wednesday for the non-Americans)

"Which is surprising, since people keep talking about it a lot here."

"Especially the ramen. Argus has the best ramen."

Be warned that this is pretty much just self-indulgent smut, but I'm proud of it! This took ages to get into a state I was happy with and I need that sweet sweet validation really want to show it off.

"But there's always something to be said for good food."

Oops, pressed the wrong reply button. Sorry.

Have a hug, if you want it, and some cake!

My online D&D group just watched Onward together because it's now available for streaming (and also for free online, yar har mateys) since the film isn't being shown due to theatre shutdowns. And my final thoughts on the film: I am now full-on sobbing.

It was a brilliant film and they did not waste a single second of that movie setting things up—it was tightly paced, gorgeously animated, had a ton of in-jokes for fantasy and tabletop nerds, and it was just such a genuinely heartfelt story about two brothers who are outcasts from society and just want one last chance to meet their deceased father. And you know what?

It. Was. Amazing.

I was hyped from when I first saw the trailers—my two favourite Marvel actors (Tom Holland and Crisp Rat Chris Pratt, plus Pixar, plus one of my favourite settings (high fantasy with a modern era take)?

Sign me the hell up!

And it exceeded my expectations.

They didn't waste a single second of this film and it's just a big love letter to fans of high fantasy, urban fantasy, and tabletop RPG. It hits a lot of familiar story beats while putting its own fresh take on the genre, so while nothing in it is new, per se, it feels very original and you can tell a lot of love went into this movie.

As a film student I can honestly say that this is now my new favourite Pixar film.

If you're interested—or even just need a way to pass the time in lockdown—go watch it. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Her name's Julia Roberts, not Robert. =]

Also, in the supporting cast:-

Have a collection of shiny rocks!

Take this question mark shaped piece of snow as a birthday gift!

Not got much planned for obvious reasons, but still hoping for a good day.
