Not the best week.
Tomorrow a new chapter of Weaver's Web goes up. I'm also going to start putting out chapters of an origional story, as well as another fanfic, LOTR/Trollhunters. The last is mainly because I love trollhunters, and it's a challenge to fit Tolkien in with other sett...
2024-11-07 05:05:32 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday, my goddaughter, who is autistic, was twirling, lost her balance, fell and slammed her head into the side of the table. She's currently at the children's hospital after some frankly terrifying seizures and other events. I'm putting the chapter up early, because I don't know when I'll be...

I hear: Ha. hah, no way are we dealing with a school full of kids on sugar highs and/or withdrawals, and oh look, it's friday, so we can justify it.!) There will ...

Bad news... I walked ten miles.

2024-10-23 05:46:05 +0000 UTC View PostTattletale, thinker. I’d never seen her in her skintight black-and-lavender outfit, which indicated she was very confident in her appearance, but I’d seen her once before, and she had either not noticed who I was, or was keeping it secret. Far beneath me, bugs started t...
2024-10-20 03:08:19 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I left the hospital, I let Dad know I’d be late. The sun wasn’t going down yet, so there was time, I quickly changed in a bathroom, using my bugs to ensure nobody saw me go in or leave. Granted, everyone who counted knew my identity, but there was no reason to slack off. 2024-10-12 04:51:51 +0000 UTC View Post
Sorry I'm late, there has just been a ton of stuff happening, and the chapter wasn't cooperatihng, but now I've beaten it into shape--groveled before the writing gods--and it'll be ready tomorrow.
2024-10-11 07:25:56 +0000 UTC View PostNormally, the PRT wouldn’t lead with Madison’s identity. But the E88 had already put it out. And Madison’s parents were in a safe house outside the city. She had no other close friends, in fact, many of the school students mentioned how they never agreed with what the three did.

2024-09-19 01:27:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe alarm hit just after I got notification via one of my buried “bug phones” outside of school. I’d been whiling away the math period, since I would be going half day relatively soon, training some rats in an underground arena. Just sending them out as a mob would lead anyone who was obser...
2024-09-12 21:19:55 +0000 UTC View PostOne is going on the spacebattles forum. If you want to post, you can post there, or here. Patreon posters will, absent something that makes it impossible to put up, get put into the final PHO thread.

She was also not a brave woman, and now, even the best thinker would learn only that Orb Weaver and Th...

The most likely way to detect her would be through the school. A student suffering headaches would go to the nurse, and the school system was not… high priority.
Or to put it differently, a school official talking in the Bay was less likely to suffer consequences than say, a doctor violat...
