Just under the gun, but I got Melody’s character page up!

Writing excuses
I’ve been told I raise procrastination to an art form. Well, actually no, nobody’s ever said that, but I’ll get them to someday. More seriously, while I’ve been definitely doing more creation, I think a lot of it was getting some of the muscle back. And that’s not to say this is going to waste! […]
How hard is entering the realms?
Physically, not hard at all. The border between the three major realms vs the normal world (or “Scientific realm) can be walked across as easily as any state line or map border. Of course, there are defined border crossings and those are secured, and nominally the rest of it is monitored and secured. But as […]
Divine Marks: How they work, why they exist, and what the consequences are
Inside the realm areas, a lot of rules for physics and such are a bit different. But aside from various ‘passive’ things, there’s also what can be called ‘god magic’ (though there’s other terms in setting, often “Realm Psychoactive Energy” or “RPE” in a research context, because nobody likes using the word “Magic” in a […]
Thordani terms and sayings
One part that’s fun about writing is coming up with terms and sayings. Here’s a few from the Thordani.
Three Pantheons revamp timeline (2001-2011)
The one sentence summary is “Modern fantasy with cold war tensions, magic, and gods.” Here’s a modified high level timeline focusing on the world itself and less on Nathan. Will work on this further, but this is where we are now.
Breathtaking
In the past, I did a lot of research on US WWII submarines. One thing of particular interest to me was the procedures for keeping the air breathable during submersion, which was later used in the Apollo program. US subs were not equipped with snorkels in WWII, so they were entirely battery powered when under. […]
What do YOU want to see?
I’ve been in a loop over the character pages a bit. The first two are up, for Vershaft and Aikine, but they were the easier ones. Many of my chars have multiple canons, or such. I was thinking of doing a ‘base page’ with the explanation of the character, subpages for things like art galleries […]
Artwork Presentation, and the Plagiarism Machine
I have tried my hand at art a few times. Never really got good at it. Keeping focus on that was just…not where I could find fun. I was always more into building the stories! And then once I got into consistent RP, well, that was kinda that. That was more fun! Fortunately, there’s plenty […]
Raise the damn minimum wage
On July 25th, 2009, the minimum wage was raised to $7.25 an hour. I was at a tour guide job. I’d started at state minimum wage in 2007 of $6.50. One thing I’d do sometimes for meals at that job was walk down to the local Subway and get a Five Dollar Footlong. This would […]
