It was… not the best month, creatively. Had to push through a few times. Hopefully July will be better.
Anyway, enough whining!
Sorry, but ‘Almost Spoiled For Choice’ speaks sooth: Prohibition might have cut down on how much individuals drank, but it had pretty much no effect on how many individuals drank. Although I suppose cutting down our per-capita consumption had its points. Lord knows our ancestors routinely drank at levels that would alarm college seniors.
‘Almost cracked’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in ‘Silent Running.’ A lot of heavy lifting. Putting individual humans in solitary orbit for five years will result in a lot of psychological pressure. Depending on who you ask, it’s either fortunate or unfortunate that most of those volunteers managed to sustain themselves on a diet of pure rage…
The humans in ‘MYOB’ instinctively distrust any suggestions that they, well, MYOB. It feels unnatural. Besides, what if the war suddenly becomes their business. Best to be prepared, right?
For some reason, it always strikes people as odd that bookkeeping can seduce a certain sort of mind away from magic. Magic can blow up, man. Nobody ever got eaten by a demon for being to unable to reconcile a three-copper shortfall. …And, yes: “They Get Dental, Too.”
That story didn’t want to gel, for the longest time. Finally did, though.
‘Patch Update 3.13.04’ is, among other things, a major reason why I don’t think we’re living in a video game simulation. If we were, we’d know. Very, very quickly.

PS: If we do live in a video game simulation, it isn’t a very exciting one by our standards. Or at least not very well-balanced when it comes to gameplay.
“Just Somewhere That’s Green, Okay?” is my eclipse microfiction! Could you tell? …Okay, fine, it mentions an eclipse, so yeah.
And getting this done was ‘heroic effort’ territory. My eldest needed my help this afternoon, you see. Something he ordered turned out to have ‘some assembly required,’ which meant trips to get things like epoxy — and debonding agents. I’m lucky that I got anything done today.
Anyway: the latest installment of THE BOLD MARAUDER. Enjoy!
Yeah, the captain in ‘Fireship’ is a bit of a romantic. Unsurprisingly, really: he’s a sea captain in a fantasy world. It’s practically a class feature.
