April 2025 Updates
Okay Kids,
On Navigating the Blog:
-Initial posts were backdated to preserve the order of the blog (in the style of Eternalism or Carlo Rovelli), but as content expands, temporal accuracy turns increasingly helpful/useful.
-As of July 2024, dates are real.
-All blog posts are considered drafts. Their status is noted at the top of the post under the heading "text iteration."
-Temporal metaphors are used to describe the maturity status of a draft. "Witching hour" is the earliest version of a draft; "midnight" is the latest version of a draft.
Fiction:
-The revised version of Force over Distance has been posted to AO3, if you'd like to say hi. Every so often, I comb its hair (aka fix a typo).
-Mathématique is in the spotlight, soaking up most of my writing/editing time with new chapters and simultaneous edits, which are also going up on AO3. It's a monster. It's sucking the marrow from my bones and the electrical potential from my brain. What a way to go.
-Ad Noctum is backstage, chewing on scenery and rattling sabers and I swear it's gonna break out of its cage again soon.
-Designations Congruent with Things really had to return to AO3 on January 12, 2025. Its Prequel-Sequel (Out of Many Scattered Things) and its Sequel/Prequel (Aftermath) will eventually make their way there as well.
-Light in Glass, a multi-chapter Star Wars story (god help me), is making a slow and low-key debut.
