Bits and Pieces

Been working on a lot of stuff lately, but haven’t deemed it necessary to post it here yet. Of course, now I have. Because I’m posting it.

First: I have downloaded Battle For Wesnoth, and now I’m pretty much addicted. It’s a fairly simple turn-based strategy game, so I expect the appeal will wear down until my friends get it, and I can start playing online with them. I’m playing as the Loyalists, who use a lot of versatile cavalry and heavy troops, and I like ‘em a lot. I’m not going to write fanfiction about them, because I basically hate it in all its forms, but I thought I’d give you an imaginary heads-up about all the stuff that’s been keeping me.

Second: I am writing a new story, probably pretty short. I’ve had it in my “queue” for a while, and it’s post-apocalyptic. My idea is that it takes place a really long time in the future, after the Oil Wars have escalated and mankind has mostly nuked itself away, leaving a few isolated tribes in the desert that suffices for land now. I’m not sure where I’ll take it, but there’s no more technology or civilization, and no one remembers what the human race used to be.

I have a plot-bunny for a humor story about a kindergarted child who can manipulate the forces of space and time and create things like four-sided triangles at will. Kind of like The Twilight Zone, except funny.

That’s about it. I know it’s a bit shallow, but you know what they say about shallow lakes… actually, you probably don’t, because I don’t think they do say anything about shallow lakes.

And with that cheap shot, everyone had a good night’s rest.
But what if they didn’t?
