I enjoy Crossology.

The Fear Act, should put that in the "What Are You Afraid Of" thread, ha.

This.
I don't think I've ever completed anything that I've posted up on this forum.

Nice site though Seth.
EDIT:
Just wondering, did you get these books finished/published? From the ideas it sounds pretty interesting but there's nothing to read from D:

Nothing there is published except for one of the poems, Nightmare.

Corruption had a first draft manuscript finished, once upon a time... But I need to completely re-write it because I created so many plot holes and the dialogue was horrible, in my opinion. That and I lost touch of my timeline and the story took place over the course of like... 2 months when it should have been a couple of weeks or so.

That and as a series, I've overhauled so much of that, it's not even funny. I mean, I created entirely new characters and events across all five of the Stinda Saga books, it's incredible how much I DIDN'T originally think it out.

I think you should take 15 years to live your life before publishing. But I think you should keep writing, of course. Whatever happened to that blog?

Oh, I'm going to be doing more than that. At the very least, I plan on doing around 20 years in the military. I'll secure a pension for that much effort and then whether I succeed or fail at writing... Me and my family will be taken care of.

Ooh, I quite like these, albeit I seem to recall reading a lot of these years ago lmao
Still though, they're quite good ^^

Keep in mind if anyone is curious about anything with the writing or the poems to ask. I'm hoping releasing my writing "notebook" will secure us some new activity...

That much literature... One can only hope.

I like you a lot, Seth. Best of luck in everything. Contact me when you begin your writing career. I might be in the position to help you someday.

Well things are starting to get more active o3o and with that 100 Day writing prompt that Ninva's starting soon, I'm sure more activity will definitely come into circulation. I'm amazed with how much you've written though xD Most of it is rather good too.

It's really not that impressive when you remember I started when I was 16, as far as Poetry. 6 years of poetry writing means about 20 every year [less, really] meaning fewer than 2 or 3 a month... Not that much. If I had 1000 poems, then I'd expect people to be impressed but that's a number I don't think I'll ever reach in my lifetime. I just don't believe I have that much poetry left in me.

As far as writing, Corruption started when I was 13 and took me until I was 18 to finish the manuscript that I hate, but most of it was done between 16-18... Like chapters 6-18.

Kranin on the other hand really only started around when I was 15/16 and has been re-written so many times it's sad. I keep writing it down and then losing it or getting new ideas and having to change so much that I practically re-write the whole thing.

I have a recent version written down that I really need to type up soon before I lose it.

I use Tumblr now and it connects to my Facebook, actually.

Forgot I never mentioned that.

Oh, I never really cared much for Tumblr, but then again, I used it when it was still a little fledging. Hey, congrats on the baby. And also, if you're interested, I have a new blog.

You should make a thread for it :)

And thank you on the congratz.

Tumblr isn't a bad idea... They really need to add servers though because they're constantly having issues and I think a lot of them is how unprepared for activity they are.

Overall, I like the idea that it connects to my Facebook. It gets more exposure and I know more people have a chance to read it because they're not searching through obscurity to find it; it shows up on their news feeds.

Actually, I just blogged about my son last night/this morning :)

I've made so many threads already... Plus, I don't feel like sharing my blog with a bunch of strangers. This new blog is personal, where I just post wherever pops inside my head the moment I get home from school. I haven't shared it with anyone else...

Do you have Goodreads.com? If not, you should. I have no friends on it. :p

Unfortunately I'm centralizing everything I do. Hence the point of the ZetaBoards for ALL of my writing and only one thread here to display it.

Speaking thus of Crossology; I will be making a new thread in the "Bookcase" forum for a little children story for my son about a Monkey King XD

His nickname is "Silly Monkey" because his mother bought him all monkey-themed stuff.

Ha, you should try making it a picture book as well... or maybe you shouldn't (thinking back to Goth High). :p

Do you still have those comics anywhere?

I have the hard copies but the hard copies are black and white without any colors, shading or words

If I still had the color copies from online, I would actually add them to Crossology as a little archive. Maybe I'll even make a spot for my sketches there and just throw all of my work together.

Your comment about "maybe not, thinking back to GH", I'm assuming you didn't like the art in the comic? Feel free to be honest.

By the by, sooner rather than later, I have to start typing up the newest version of the Huramdrin (her-rah-drin) which is the recording of Kranin's history from the time of the Entity all the way up to now.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
