September 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). As content expands, temporal accuracy turns increasingly helpful/useful, so as of July 2024, dates are real.

-All blog posts are drafts. Their status is noted at the top of the post under the heading "text iteration." Temporal metaphors describe the maturity status of a draft. "Witching hour" is the earliest version of a draft; "midnight" implies edits are complete.

Fiction:

-The 2022 Director's Cut of Force over Distance is archived on AO3 if you'd like to say hi. Every so often, I comb its hair (i.e., fix a typo).

-Mathématique is also up on AO3. It's fully restored with new additions, but it remains a work in progress because it's a Guillermo del Toro monster living in my closet and draining my life force as I complete it.

-Ad Noctum is backstage, chewing on scenery and rattling sabers. I swear it's gonna break out of its cage again soon.

-Designations Congruent with Things returned to AO3 on January 12, 2025. Its sequel/prequel (Aftermath), and its prequel sequel (Out of Many Scattered Things) are there as well.

-Light in Glass, a multi-chapter Star Wars story (may the Force be with me), is making a slow and low-key debut.

Star Wars: LiG Chapter 1

Narrative Updates:

It's been a summer of revisions. My editing skills leveled up about 3X, so it was time to deploy them maximally. I think we're like...1,325,000 words down; ~250,000 to go? The summer's been busy and I've been enjoying the stroll down memory lane.

Current Vibe:

There's a real Stargate Project, kids. Look it up! We're in the wild times now.

Wishing you the best,

CWR
