Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Saturday, A Day of Rest?

I have motivation to make my offerings quickly, today, because Anthill Village has released a demo!

Of course I'm going to record my first play for Peertube. I might even use a few plays for B-roll on my story reads.

I'm still babying my ankle and swearing my way through my knee stretchies in the morning. Trust me folks, start your body maintenance when you're young. It's worse than a bitch to build it back up again.

At least there's some notable progress. One of my knee stretchies is making it easier to get up from and down to a seat. I am taking that win.

Onwards to the made-up stuff.

Challenge #04653-L269: Gold Turned to Dross

In the hilly forests of one of the more Tax-Happy Kingdoms a rogue has arisen who steals from the King’s Tax-Collectors and gives to the poor. Yet, more observant folks have noticed that this thief seems to be keeping most of the pilfered wealth. Perhaps Wraithvine (alone or with someone) can help set this would be Robin Hood straight? -- Deathshead419

The castle at the heart of Drichithia was a beautiful crown atop a small mountain, allowing those resident to see

Friday, Seeking Help

I'm looking for assistance from other authors with the secondary All Hallows' Read story that I've managed to produce. I'm trying not to feel the clock ticking at this point.

I don't have to release this thing this year. I can get it perfected, construct the cover, and have it all lined up for next year.

I've got today's Peertube video out. Yay. I've had my dosages. Hooray. I've done my stretchies and cooled off my ankle.

I'm struggling with all other

Challenge #04652-L268: Awakening

Oh my god some of you nasty [Canadian insult] are crazy af and into some nasty [doo doo]; where your dignity? Your self-respect? What’s your number? you free tonight? -- Anon Guest

[AN: I am unfamiliar with Canadian insults. I shall improvise]

One of the fundamental unwritten laws of the universe is this: There is always more to learn about it. Not merely about the stars, galaxies, and all the things therein. But also about the people you share it with.

Thursday, Payday and Prep

I have a video to prepare now so I don't have to rush tomorrow. I have half-hour breaks every two hours to get my dumb injured ankle to literally chill out.

I'm using that time for other creative things on my lappy.

I have the usual nonsense to create for the temple of notes. And the hope of having spare time to enjoy some things.

As for my knee stretchies, I am repeating, "Progress is not linear" like it's a mantra. Translation

Wednesday, Rants and Other Things

I just posted today's Peertube video, I think I might rant about technology this week. Old fool yells at cloud. Again. Maybe when remember-when-tech-was-good palaver.

Slop and mush and reheated rebooted, revamped retro nostalgia. New ideas are scary.

I could have a go at how relative "fire bad" attitudes are.

Just looked up the quote. It's "Technology bad, fire scary, Thomas Edison was a witch." So I'll paraphrase if I get there.

But first - the fiction.

Challenge #04650-L266: Not Fighting Words

"Hey there, you damn teuf!"/ Hey yourself filthy ape!

The two eyed each other, tension thick as treacle. Then a sudden laugh, the two hugged each other, the human grabbing his brothers head and giving the hellkin a noogie! "Stop being gone for so long and WRITE once in a while, you ass, I was worried!"/ Sorry, we were helping rebuild two temples the rockslide wrecked.

"C'mon, let's get a drink bro!" -- Anon Guest

As far as Hellkin went, Phil was

Tuesday, Patreon and Nonlinear Progress.

My right leg's doing much better than my left on my chosen knee stretches. In fact, my left leg is a lot worse today. I remind myself that progress is not linear and
I have months in which to improve my knees' ability to withstand bending and walking.

I will get there. It's just going to take a bit of a while.

Another concern is that I've started needing the bracer on my right knee again. I'll talk about it with my

Challenge #04649-L265: Freedom Isn't Free

This was how Deregs start... they had it as a neighborhood association. A way to help each other during emergencies, or when families needed a friend to lean on. But somehow, were tricked, at least some of them, into signing an HOA charter. Those that refused began being harassed, threatened, and then the vandalism began. However, in one house was a person you harass at your own peril. And this whole system was shut down before it really got going. No one

Monday, Ahead of Things?

I'm making progress on my knee exercises. Slow, nonlinear progress, but progress all the same.

Currently enjoying breakfast and waiting for Mayhem to stir himself for the drive towards work.

Soon, the backup reads, the daily shenanigans, and getting the video ready to post because my stupid ass forgot to make it yesterday.

Doing what I can how I can and hoping to heck I have the spoons in order to do it.

...yay

Challenge #04648-L264: You Expected Moonlight Serenade?

Kevin stands at the hotel lobby alone, he takes a deep breath the eerie quiet made him hear his own heartbeat. As he looks down at the polished marble he notices something red, bloody footprints. A shiver runs down his spine as he slowly backs away but more crimson footprints appear moving toward his location. Maybe the entity didn’t notice him as he moved around but wherever he goes the footprints follow. Suddenly Kevin begins to giggle and the footprints stopped

Sunday, Archive Reads, Motivation and Lack Thereof

I've been awake since 1AM but I haven't made anything unless I was icing my ankle.

On the plus side, I have been working on a potential Halloween story. Powers know what I'm going to do for a cover, but that's a problem for if it gets finished. For all I know, it might be out next year. September is dwindling away, after all.

I am reminding myself to be kind to me. If it gets done, it gets done. If not,

Challenge #04647-L263: Just One Won't Hurt

For decades Markus was a marketer for [BRAND] Cigarettes, telling himself lie after lie to justify his job. That was until his brother contracted lung cancer. Now Markus is desperate to use his riches to make amends for his ill deeds. But is there really anything he can do to make up for all the bodies he’s helped to poison? -- Deathshead419

[AN: Had to alter this prompt a little because there is an actual brand name involved. I can not

Saturday, Slow Movement

I'm in the midst of recording chapters for Adorable. I've allegedly begun work on the next entry for the Archive. I have yet to begin working on my daily offerings. And I have at least one cat getting literally in my face as I attempt to work.

And I have to break every two hours to cool my ankle off.

At least I get to noodle around with fiction other than the daily offerings while that's going on.

It's slow, but I'm
