The countdown has begun!

In just six months one month, we'll be celebrating another run of the I Will Remember You Marathon, an annual fanfiction marathon devoted to the relationship between Buffy and Angel.

And this year is extra special — it’s the marathon’s 20th anniversary!

Throughout November, we publish a new story every day in honor of the Angel episode “I Will Remember You,” which originally aired on November 23, 1999.

The marathon got its start in 2004 when it was created by Leni. The tradition has been kept alive since then by dedicated Buffy/Angel fans, including Chrislee, Dark Star, and Angelus2Hot. In 2023, the event was revamped by a group of authors and fandom artists and achieved its biggest turnout in more than a decade!

In addition to fics, the revamped marathon also welcomes artworks including fanart, fanvids, edits, and GIFs.

Sign-ups for the 2024 IWRY Fic Marathon in November are now open!

Authors sign up here.

Artists sign up here.

What kind of stories are accepted?

We will accept any piece of fanfiction, of any rating, that is 500 or more words long and focused on the relationship of Buffy/Angel (and/or Buffy/Angelus).

Where will the stories be posted?

The stories will be posted to a 2024 collection on the I Will Remember You Marathon Archive. We will provide clear instructions about how to post your story to AO3 collections closer to the event.

Can I help out?

We would love to have you join in whatever capacity is best for you. Some roles to consider include:

Beta reading

Supporting the writers with reviews & comments on fics

Promoting the marathon on your platform of choice

If you are interested in participating in another non-writing or non-artist role, email us at iwryficmarathon@gmail.com

Hey y’all! A couple updates from me 🤍

I am currently chatting with a friend to get a new pfp and header for this account so it’ll have an updated look for 2024! Super exciting, and he is so incredibly talented, I can’t wait for y’all to see it! We’re going for a sorta vintage Halloween look, it’s so cool!

As for the prompts, I’m 60% finished with the list and it includes plenty of kinks and themes and locations to choose from! You will be able to pick and choose or mix and match from these lists, and they are totally optional (you can use all three for one day or two or one), and this way we have options for both SFW and NSFW works to be included! At this time, it looks like I will be posting the prompts sometime next week, as I still need to make the list look pretty for y’all!

Also, as a bigger update, I’ve decided to do something a little different from the usual month-long kinktober event this year! Taking into consideration that people may want more time to create, or (like me) want to prevent burnout, I’ve decided to shorten the posting timeline and we will do 13 Days of Harringrove Kinktober this year! So, instead of posting for the entire month, we will start a little countdown to Halloween night starting on October 18th and ending on October 31st! 🎃

As usual, I will be reblogging any works that tag this account and/or use the tag #hgkinktober2024 for each of those thirteen days. I will also be opening up another AO3 collection for y’all to post there, too! I currently don’t have a fandom twitter/X account so I apologize, I won’t be active on that site/app, but if you do post there, please forward me the link and I can create a special post for y’all! I will be creating a Masterlist this year to keep everyone in the loop with new and all works!

Ahhh, I’m getting so excited!! Thank you for your continued excitement and if you have any questions at all regarding anything I’ve just mentioned, please don’t hesitate to reply to this post, DM me, or use the ask box!

Catch y’all later! 🤍

[splish--splash--minecraft]

what are everyone's reactions to scarian getting together in tiny apartment au

tysm for asking this <3 i have been Wanting to talk about it

so! don't think i've mentioned this but they get together during december, in winter break. grian goes with scar to visit his family (he usually spends the holiday breaks with jimmy, his cousin, but not this time for reasons i'll mention some other time) and it's sometime during then that The Confession happens (which will be in another post) (once i figure out How Exactly it happens)

so now they're dating! yay. scar's family find out pretty quickly, idk if they told them or maybe they walked in on them kissing, i dunno. but things are fine. and then they go back to where the college is for a new years eve celebration with friends.

they don't tell anyone they're together now but they also don't really...hide it. they're very affectionate, grian sits on scar's lap, they're touching a lot. absolutely sure they're making it very clear.

except...no one bats an eye. they don't even look at them twice. it's as if this is something they always do.

it takes them a bit to realize that...yeah, it kind of is. they've been affectionate with each other for months, and grian is often sitting on scar's lap already.

so they give that up and decide to just...act normally. and when the countdown to new years hits the end, they kiss, and the room explodes into chaos

their friends are all looking at them and questioning when the Fuck did they get together, how long has this been a thing, i thought you guys were just being even more insufferable than usual

their friends are all shocked but also not really. once they get over the initial surprise, there's a lot of "fucking finally"'s. everyone is incredibly relieved they finally got their shit together because it was so obvious they liked each other

[userparamore]

I get that you don’t like Taylor but can you not see paramores growth as band because of the eras tour they seem so happy to be on that stage every night be grateful for that

first of all i don't really understand why you're coming for me over post that isn't even mine. second of all i'm allowed to be a fan of a band and be critical of them at the same time, and i've expressed my disappointment over this since the tour was announced. i'm not gonna beat a dead horse and bring up why i'm critical of this tour again in this answer, but the act of them being on this tour really says a lot about them for me in a negative way, and i think it's hypocritical of them after preaching about sustainability and equal rights for all.

paramore is also not some small indie band no one has heard of. they've been doing this for 20 years, they've sold out big venues, played madison square garden multiple times, they played their biggest show ever on the this is why aus&nz tour with 26,283 tickets sold in sydney. multiple of their biggest songs on spotify is close to a billion streams and they have 21 million monthly listeners. all this growth they've done, they've done on their own- sure it's nice that more people discover them, but they didn't need this tour to be successful. they already were.

also for me personally, this tour leaves a bad taste in my mouth. i come from a country where if i'm lucky they tour once every album cycle. i've been lucky to see them 2 times and the last time was in 2017. they played a festival so i didn't get to see a full set. they've been to my country four times total and 1 concert wasn't a festival. the eras tour didn't have a show in my country, and i wasn't about to fight swifties for tickets that are extremely expensive. in the end my friend ended up having a spare ticket to one of the vienna shows bc the person they were originally gonna go with ended up not being able to go, and i was asked if i wanted to go. me and this friend first became friends bc we both liked paramore, and they've never been able to see them live. travelling to vienna to have that experience together, i would sit through 3h of taylor swift for. i spent close to 2000 dollars on the whole trip including the ticket, for it to end up being cancelled. very happy we didn't die, but it still sucked to have spent all that money and the not be able to go. especially since this would've been my friend's first paramore live experience.

i'm happy they're having fun playing their greatest hits for 3 months. i'm happy for my mutuals who's been able to go and have had a good time. the money they earn will probably go to their new label, and hopefully we won't have to wait 5 years for new music. but don't tell me to be grateful.

i try my best to make this community a welcoming space. i try my best to contribute with gifs and edits, and post news when there are news. i've hosted countdown events, i've hosted/made zines, i've hosted gif challenges. i want to do all these things bc it's fun to be part of this community and i love the friends i've made here. but i can still do all those things, and not have to kiss paramore's ass. i can still express myself and speak on the things i don't agree with bc it's my blog. we've had "debates" in my inbox before, people have expressed their opinions on paramore before, and it's always respectful which i appreciate. we as a community can disagree on things and still be a community.

2023 Writing Round Up

Thank you for the tag @heartstringsduet @reasonandfaithinharmony @jesuisici33 @chicgeekgirl89 @thisbuildinghasfeelings @theghostofashton @orchidscript @welcometololaland @ladytessa74 @strandnreyes @reyesstrand @alrightbuckaroo

Rules: Share what you wrote this year! It can be works you posted to Ao3, Wattpad, Tumblr, or anywhere else! You can share everything you wrote or just the ones you're most excited about.

15 fics this year! I have loved writing and sharing every one of them. Thank you to everyone who has read or will at some point. Work is a lot busier these days, so I don’t anticipate writing the same volume in 2024���but we shall see! I just want whatever I share to be good quality, and it’s my New Year’s resolution to keep improving. I love Tarlos. I love writing Tarlos fic. I love this fandom.

January

The Ruins of Wonderland – a reimagining of TK and Carlos getting back together after their breakup. I posted this on New Year’s Day, resolving to start 2023 off on the right fanfic foot.

Chasers – A coda for 3x13. TK talks to Cooper about his past, while Carlos goes for a swim and thinks about his own. When Carlos gets home, he and TK have an important chat. The rection to this fic spurred me on to continue writing in the flashback/vignette/timeline format.

February

Man to Man – A coda for 2x11 and 2x12, which also looks at Carlos coming out to his parents and where he is now with it all.

March

Afterglow of a Supernova – When fiancés TK and Carlos help Carlos’ high school crush and his wife during a call, they end up having a dinner with them that leads to jealousy in an unexpected way. The feedback I’ve had on this fic sent me to the moon on rainbows.

April

The Heart Behind the Shield – My first chaptered fic! I'd been wanting to write a 2x08 coda, but it was 4x04 that made it possible. This combines events from both episodes where there’s duality, and was an absolute blast to write and post.

The Light of Our Life – Listen, I wrote this during an extended lunch break and posted it the same day. For somehow it’s my fifth most kudos’d fic of the year…Thank you!!! We were all deep in our Lou II feelings at this time. Never forget.

Fire Island – TK and Carlos travel to Fire Island, where an older gay couple talks to them about their experience of the AIDS crisis in 1980s New York. This fic by far had the most emotional impact on me while writing it, and based on feedback it seems to be the same for readers(?) People have shared personal stories and memories with me since I posted this, and I just want to say I’m truly grateful for the response, given I wrote it in January but didn’t feel brave enough to post it for a few months.

May

With Infinity Folded Into It – Written for the @tarlosweeklyprompts Countdown to the Wedding event (prompt was: Love). After TK proposes, Carlos remembers the first time they said “I love you.” It’s fluff, it’s smut, it’s kinda angsty because Carlos is trying to bake and baking is stressful.

The Center of the Maze – Another written for Tarlos Weekly Prompts Countdown to the Wedding. (Prompt: "I Never Thought I Would Get This Day".) I thought this was going to be a 2k one-shot; it turned into 20k split into 4 chapters… Seven times they thought they would never get married, and one time when they actually did. I was super inspired and happy with the writing in this one.

June into July

When Soulmates Swim – The closest I’ll ever come to writing a sports AU (….or is it?👀…) Sparks and splashes fly when TK and Carlos each take up swimming while they recover from workplace injuries. I really pushed myself with smut and humour in this fic and the feedback I’ve had has been incredible. One of the most enjoyable writing experiences I’ve ever had, this fic holds a special place in heart.

Release The Hand to Relax the Animal – TK and Carlos explore the world of tantric massage in their own way. Written because Rafael Silva has madly attractive hands, and @heartstringsduet and I thought we should celebrate. You can read Michelle’s hands fic, Take My Hand, Take My Whole Life, Too, here. It is BEAUTIFUL.

(Nothing in August)

September

Sweet Dreams and Flying Machines – A 3x08 coda, which also gets into TK and Carlos’ childhood memories of 9/11, and the way that event went on to impact their lives (to the point where it set them on the path to meeting each other). It recieved the most amazing comments, with people sharing their memories of 9/11, so like Fire Island this fic feels deeper to me in a social way.

October

Suddenly in the Silence – I’d ‘joked’ about the show giving us Ghost Gabriel in season 5, but a conversation with thisbuildinghasfeelings led me to explore that concept myself. In this fic, it’s up to the reader to decide whether they think the spirit of Gabriel is around, which made writing it challenging but a lot of fun. It’s so interesting to see what side people fall on!

November

Where All This Love Comes From – This is my Tarlos novel at ~90k words, due to finish posting in February. I began writing it in March, when a hefty amount of plot relied on Gabriel being alive after season 4. Substantial rewrites happened after May, which was pretty gutting at the time, but ultimately I think this has ended up being the best thing I’ve written so far in my life.

December

There is a smutty one-shot coming with a scream very soon…And I hope you like it!

I'm not sure who has already done this - tagging with no pressure if you want to share/haven't already - and open tag!

Updates, Tiers, and Snapshots

Hello, Stardusts.

It has taken me a while to state this out and have been pacing back and forth when it comes to how to word things.

Ever fighting my laptop, DITO is ready to go outside of a few touchups. I cannot release any of it or do more for it until I get my laptop upgrade. Likewise, I cannot do much of anything as my laptop is currently fighting me on everything. It's hectic and hell for me, but I am still doing what I can when it lets me.

I am currently working on a dual 3 tier level giveaways where I will give back to two communities at once.

For the FFXIV community, I will offer a free TC and sticker of Wuk Lamat, Erenville, then Koana (Latter two can be interchanged once Lamatry'i is finished and put to vote). For my own DITO community, Pinups of Alec, Morogh, then Sidney will be offered, along with the older pinup of Morogh that I have extras of.

Both giveaways will also offer free art. This is something to help tide over the wait. Keep in mind that depending on what is going on in the background (printer likes to cause issues right now), physical prizes might take some time to be sent. News on current conditions will be announced when the tier is reached.

The three tiers are intended to help give myself a new laptop and improving my workspace. The tiers might come by faster once one could expect~

To help me reach my goals, one could commission me through the 'Quest to 100' even if they are not ffxiv based. Prices will not be this cheap once I achieve one or all of my goals as I am using this to experiment how to draw faces and to test art techniques as I go

Yandere LI's can be requested for free by anyone. Keep in mind that they must be from a existing project that has been around for more than a month, I know where they are from, and the creator is +18. If one wants to support me while having me draw the Yans, there is a $10 discount.

Lastly, For those excited to play the DITO Demo. As a bit of a countdown, I'll be launching four snapshots. First will be intro to the other three. I will launch each one within each tier. A small vote has decided on what the focus will be around (as well as what the pinup lineup would be)

Thank you for your patience. I will keep everyone posted on the progresses of everything as we truck along.

AAIC Logic Trailer

This is the 53rd post in the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Countdown: 28 days left until release!

Today's topic: the Logic Trailer for the Investigations Collection!

The official Ace Attorney account has released a short little trailer to present the Logic ability specifically and it's so precious! It's a wonderful little interaction between Miles and Gumshoe in Miles' office. The intro of Miles explaining how Logic works is pretty similar to how he does it in the game's tutorial (or even the exact same wording) but then follows a little demonstration that consists of completely new dialogue! How amazing is that?! Never expected them to do something like this, I love it!

The Logic menu is shown with two unique thought pieces: Gumshoe paying Miles a sudden visit shortly before pay day and Gumshoe only being able to afford instant noodles on his salary. Miles connects the two (there's even a truth bar appearing!) and deduces that Gumshoe wants him to treat him to lunch. Of course he's correct, as Gumshoe immediately confirms and asks him to treat him to some instant noodles to which Miles thinks that he ought to dream bigger.

Apart from this just being a neat little interaction to demonstrate how Logic works I love what it implies and adds to the characters' relationship (and I'm definitely gonna take that part as canon). It seems to be a regular occurence that Miles treats Gumshoe to lunch or that Gumshoe specifically asks him to when money is tight at the end of the month since Miles isn't at all surprised by the request. More than that, when Gumshoe asks him to just buy him instant noodles again Miles says "please dream bigger" in his thoughts, implying that he'd of course go for a more elaborate and expensive meal and wouldn't just buy him the cheapest option possible. This sounds like Miles already plans to treat Gumshoe to lunch, a "bigger" one than what Gumshoe is used to. Makes sense, since Miles himself probably gets his food from places that don't serve instant noodles, and I love how this seems to be a somewhat regular occurrence for them. Of course it's not so nice that Gumshoe has to rely on other people treating him to lunch to get through the month but I do like that Miles isn't at all reluctant to do so when Gumshoe asks him to. Probably also does it at other times or Gumshoe wouldn't so readily hope for it. And that despite how stingy Miles can be with other people. So wholesome!

OKAY. THEORIES.

(for those unaware, it seems that oli sykes of bring me the horizon fame was one of the people who put his address in the fall out boy machine over at this here webbed site and he got a little something in the mail.)

the package consists of a letter similar to the one that fans got on new year's day, but dated for January 19, 2023, and is a whole lot shorter. It simply says "Love from the Other Side" and came with a pink seashell, which has "1 of 13" written inside it.

so. like i said. THEORIES.

13 (assumed) seashells means there are 13 tracks on fob8. i find this very plausible. the use of "13" probably means sOMETHING and this seems the most likely.

1 of 13 means a single is coming 1/13 - friday the thirteenth. i also find this plausible, though that might just be overly optimistic on my part. i think releasing a single on friday the 13th, given their love of pop culture and the "spooky" aesthetic they were going for during hmt, would be something they'd do. plus fridays are optimal release dates for singles. the (now deleted) dcd2 instagram post claimed we'd see the single at the "end of the month" so if that info is legit, i'm not sure the 13th counts as an "end of the month" release date lol

1 of 13 seashells means we get a 13 day countdown from the new single. less plausible imo, but doing the math (and counting today), that gives us a date of 1/22, which is a sunday and not a super optimal time for a single release date.

the letter dated january 19th means a single is coming 1/19. less plausible, in my eyes. that's a thursday, so again, not as optimal a time for single release. but january 19th 2023 is the 5th anniversary of mania's release, and i'm not sure why they would date the letter as such unless it means something. this could very well mean an intentional link to mania, however. considering mania was initially teased with a lot of beach imagery ("mania beach resorts," the wave aesthetic), i find it interesting that we're getting a deliberate callback to that.

the new single name will be "love from the other side." possible. we've gotten a lot of little zingers to tease this whole era (if you build it, they will come; pink seashell beach; the beach was never real; welome to the other side of the apocalypse) so i'm not sure i'm ready to say that this is for sure going to be the Name. it's possible it's an important line that will show up in the single, whenever that drops (lyrics for "hold me tight or don't" were initially previewed in the credits of "the last of the real ones" mv so this would scan for fob)

there will be an oli sykes feature. i have no goddamn idea if this was a marketing thing or if oli sykes is just a big fall out boy fan and happened to receive the first seashell lmao. it's possible he might tour with them but i have no clue.

while packing apples, big as boulders.

TIMElines

the big apple ? new york TIME(s)

Was this her way of preparing us for the NYT article?

2/2 Okay building on this:

Name wrapped around her shoulders

- I think this is about her KELCE and chiefs jackets, being covered in his team, name and logo.

While packing apples, big as boulders

-New york times article (the big apple), the ‘while’ makes this sound contradictory- so two opposing actions. What’s more opposing than showing up to football games wearing your ‘boyfriends’ name while there’s major publications running articles about your use of queer flagging and that you might be queer

Liking nothing oh so sweet

-This one I think is about the Paul McCartney tweet that she liked, purposefully flipping the timelines to make people think about Joe in a more objective way (maybe he never was William Bowery - well if she’s lying about that what else is she hiding?)

Planting seeds, hints at deceit

-Also may relate to the above, might also relate to Jack’s instagram post about you’re losing me. Slowly poking holes in the reality most people believe about her.

TIMElines skewed, questions raised

-I think this ties into all the above points as well as TIME being it’s own hint (I think nyt article, I find these riddles are never as easy as they seem and never make sense for a few weeks or months and we already knew about the times poty article, could have been intentionally misleading)

Etched via boots, counting down days

-I’m not so sure on this one, I know there’s a few theories out there at the minute. (Based on my knowledge of short poems (literary degree) and also the format of these hints I think it’s a hint as to when). She’s definitely stepped out in a lot of boots lately, the ones that most stuck out to me were the tattoo leather jimmy choo ones, which had a whole trove of things etched into them. Most noticeable though the big snake on them. Makes me think that the countdown might end with rep taylor’s version? Still a working theory on this one though.

Happy October! Autumn is here! \o/

Which isn't super happy to me, Romancing SaGaRS announced EoS and I've been playing for about 4 years, 3 and something ;u; I'm so very heartbroken as a SaGa fan this was my source of delicious lore.

As a last hurrah I will probably clear the 2 pending super difficulty fights now that they gave access to all styles and just going to take screenshots of my favorite pixel people. While I kept referring to myself as casual player (and my RS friends bonk me on the head - no, Denny you are not!) I did always clear the hard content on release - safe for the last couple of months when the powercreep became too much for me too.

I have such fond memories of clearing World Tower... :') it was a big event at the time and it required so many characters and I got to use some I never thought I'd use before.

I remember clearing Spiral Tower every time new floor got released except the more recent ones. I always pulled for my faves and occasionally for the recommended. I got so many new SaGa characters as favorites and I will treasure the moments and the memeires I posted on Reddit. Best treasure was the friends I made on the way really! :D I do hope we'll get a new SaGa gatcha game some day and Global isn't shafted :D;;; but... all things come to an end. This was my first and only gatcha game and I don't plan on playing anything on my phone. I only played RS because I'm a SaGa fan.

But Romacing SaGa 2 Remake is coming out at the end of the month!! I've slapped preorder as soon as it was available so that's something I'm looking forward to!! RS2 has my favorite lore so I'm super looking forward to it :> I was thinking to do some countdown illustrations... but I don't think I'll have the spoons for that.

Especially because... FanFyria comic books have arrived!! \o/ (sorry for potato phone quality, the books are not potato quality haha)

I'll be making a better/proper post about it soon to grab info on whoever is interested in purchasing a copy! :> I look forward to the watercolor pieces that I'll be adding as bonus! They're always so much fun to do. The idea of my friends having a little something from me sparks joy!

And until then... I'm slowly but surely Dawning the Trail... :D;;; Oh gosh, this expac hasn't been clicking with me but I'm also at level 94 quests so maybe it will over time. I have nothing to vent or rant or anything really, it just haven't been clicking with me :D;;;; which I think is okay, we all have different vibes! I do hope I finish DT before RS2R though. I appreciate that mama Hydaelyn taught us well though!

Other than that? I've been feeling in a bit of a writing mood, funny enough :D;; and I've been sketching a lot of fluffy arts lately so more may pop on the dash from me... maybe!

Whew! Long post xD Thank you for stopping by and reading this far! I hope you have great rest of the day, dear web traveler!

Hi I'm Foone Turing. I've been here a while but never really did an introduction post, so...

Hi. Yes, that's my name. I'm an asexual trans enby (they/them pronouns), I'm married, and I'm both older than you expect and younger than you expect, depending on what you know me from. I'm a writer and programmer. I'm better known on Twitter, at the moment. I'm well known for being severely ADHD and I'm also on the autism spectrum, somewhere near ultraviolet. I live near Oakland, California, USA, but I grew up on a farm in the south. I'm a furry, but I don't have a fursona yet.

I'm big into retrotech stuff, especially floppy disks. 80s and 90s PC stuff mainly, but I have a passing interest in everything else. I loves me some weird tech that you have no idea ever existed. I'm also big into analog media. VHS tapes, laserdiscs, that sort of thing.

Fandom wise, I'm a Trekie from way back, primarily in the TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT era. I haven't yet gotten into the new stuff, and I have only a passing knowledge of the original series. I'm also a big fan of Babylon 5, Red Dwarf, and Doctor Who (4th doctor, and new who doctors 9,10,11). I watch a bunch of British panel shows: HIGNFY, Mock the Week, Nevermind the Buzzcocks, 8 out of 10 cats (primarily the countdown spinoff).

I am a Big Hater on crytypocurrentseas and AI art. I used to be famously mad at the JWST, but now that it's in space and functional, I've calmed down. They just need to rename it and I'm golden.

I'm currently splitting my social media presence across three sites:

* Tumblr, obviously. Shitposting, jokes, queer stuff, and queer joke shitposts are all going here.

* mastodon: I'm putting my tech stuff here. Teardowns, building new death generators, fun historical weirdness.

* Twitter: formerly my primary platform, but now I just use it to keep in touch with people and make fun of the impending collapse of Twitter.

Stuff I do and have done after the readmore.

(I'm on mobile now but I'll get back to this on the desktop and add more links)

* I run lettuce.wtf, a webcam showing a lettuce to see if it will outlast Twitter. (My money is literally on the lettuce)

* my long running site The Death Generator: a tool for making fake video game screenshots, with user supplied dialogue.

* I run some Twitter bots, one of which is more popular than me, and all of which will need to be migrated soon: Gay Cats, WinIcons, Print Shop Deluxe, and Every Clue Line.

* I got Microsoft 3D Movie Maker open sourced

* I got rickrolled so hard that it ended up on national TV

* I ran doom on a pregnancy test

* I have made many horrible and weird keyboards. Keyboards with hair, keyboards which write poetry, keyboards that take 5 hours to say "hello world", keyboards with randomly placed keys, keyboards with 7 toggle switches instead of buttons, and many more.

* I tear down random electronics and try to figure out and explain how they work. (originally on Twitter, but moving over to mastodon now)

* I pissed off the FBI on more than one occasion. They tried to get me fired, they delayed my wedding by over a month, and they mentioned my 4chan nickname in a federal trial.

* I used to work for 4chan. I was a moderator and coder, I created /rs/ and /r9k/, and I convinced moot to destroy the original politics board (for obvious reasons). Things went further to shit after I left, but I am still glad I left. Oh and I also inadvertently prevented the creation of the 4chan dating/meet up site by being too ADHD to actually complete development of it. You're welcome.

* I ran a windows 95 machine for the maximum amount of time. There's a bug where it crashes after 49.7 days of uptime, so I let it happen. I livestreamed the end on YouTube.

* I've done exhibits at the Vintage Computer Festival on the history of floppy disks and optical discs.

* I've worked with the Video Game History Foundation (and others) to preserve old games and game development resources (source code and such). I'm big into archival!

* I wrote a really famous Twitter thread about the surprising way our vision works, which is still circulating in screenshots (including on Tumblr!) something like 5-6 years later.

* I made my old apartment play the Zelda Ocarina of Time shop music when you walked I the door.

* I run the Tumblr animefloppies, collecting screenshots and GIFs of floppy disks in anime.

* I run several other sub-tumblrs for collecting weird things, but I'll have to link them later.

* I am technically a speedrunner. I did the TAS of Duke Nukem 1, episode 1, and a joke speedrun of Solar Winds, where I beat the game by ignoring every single possible objective and just flying to the end, which takes over an hour.

* I used to make games. Some of them are available for download.

* but it still do, too: I'm working on a (currently unnamed) game about managing a dairy farm. Both the developers have ADHD. This is going to take forever before it comes out, if it ever does.

* I'm currently working on three books. Two are compilations of stuff previously twitterized, one is a novel:

- Always Screaming Forever: non-fiction, stories about my career in the tech industry and various other tech/science/history stuff I love ranting about.

- The Other Side of Screaming: fiction. My short stories.

- Mundane Kaya Sona (placeholder title): a linguist gets pulled into an FBI investigation into a car crash. An unknown language leads to the discovery of a wizard living in a forest in Oregon, and an interdimensional plot to smuggle nuclear weapons to another world, and break a cold war stalemate we (the planet earth) didn't realize we were in. I've been working on the setting for this story since I was about 7 years old, and I'm excited to finally get it out of my head and into yours.

* I'm probably forgetting like 5-10 major things I've done but ADHD is a hell of a drug. I'll add more as they come to me.
