December 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. It's found a hairpin and is picking the lock to its cage.

-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 and complete as well. I've begun to post and organize the coda on this blog; eventually it will make it to AO3, but there should be at least *some* perks for you dedicated blog checkers!

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

Latest Releases:

Pacific Rim: Eldritch Horror: Lightcap as List

Star Wars: LiG Chapter 1

Narrative Updates:

Everything takes longer than you I think. The Destinations Coda has taken on form. It will include everything you might remember but don't yet have, plus a few more things (outtakes, song lyrics, short stories, flash fiction pieces). It's a monstrous pastiche, but when it's done I can finally rest cross the Pacific Rim restoration project off my list.

Current Vibe:

Stoppin' drills.

Wishing you the best,

CWR
