I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...

This thread. On heroic stories, and the intersection with real world problems. This is something I spent a *lot* of time thinking about when writing Fall, did setup in Skybreaker's Call, and the change the world stuff hits in Maker's Ark (currently still unfinished, but serialized)

I managed to miss one comic, one! (so there were two new to me comics today) and the first one has the single most epic entrance I ever remember seeing in a webcomic. This is the good stuff, folks 8-)

On my SWTOR stream today, chat suggested we give up the Sith Warrior lifestyle and become a tauntaun-riding Mountie in Space Alberta. So if you've had a rubbish day, enjoy this clip of the Star Wars show Disney is too chicken to let me write: Due Hoth.

Gemini: You will be driven mad by the insanity inducing music of the Blind, Idiot God Azathoth who spins in the center of all creation screeching into the emptiness of space. Wait. That's, uh... That's Rush. Huh. That explains a lot.

During AGAHF's short break, we've been running the story of Pat and Hope's wedding. It's a perfectly normal wedding with no cults, not a single one. Yes. A perfectly normal cult-free wedding with maybe twenty ghosts crashing the party and some bonus fire. theagahfstore.bigcartel.com/product/the-...

love to log on after a couple of hours and check if any brand new world-shattering crises have happened since the last time I checked or if we’re still freaking out about the last batch
