“Where exactly are we going?” I asked, pushing open the classroom door and holding it for everyone else. Even though Olivia and Amelia only took a second to slip through, Hairy took his time, leaving me standing there waiting for him. Once he stepped out I had to rush to catch up.
I felt slightly inspired by the previous chapter, and didn't want to immediately jump to the next destination, so we get this. It's both a good reminder of why Alan can act like a dumbass, but also another nice family piece. Hope you enjoy.
After enjoying a casual...
Soooo.... I'm not sure about this chapter yet. I kind of had an idea going in, and I'm still not sure how well it worked. I'll have to read through it, and think about it some more. What do you all think?
It took us a while to get back to the citadel. Not only wer...
Didn't expect this chapter to go the direction it did, but I'm not disapointed. Lot of personality and growth in the end. I liked it.
Also: It was pointed out to me yesterday that St. Louis isn't south of Ohio. I apparently can't read maps and was looking at Iowa instead... Yea...
“We’re going back to B-213? Don’t we have to move classrooms?” I asked once I caught up to my friends.
“That might be how they do things in other schools, but not here. Since there aren’t enough students for multiple classes in each grade we stay in the same room, and the teache...
2025-09-03 18:29:29 +0000 UTC View PostIt done!...? I like this as an endpoint, but I'll MAYBE add a short section with Teddy appearing back on earth. I dun think it's necessary though. I really liked how this chapter kind of mirrored the first two or three and how Teddy dealt with a similar shock when she arrived. What do...
2025-09-03 14:59:26 +0000 UTC View PostSo... I tried to come up with some interesting places for the family to stop, but was stopped by my terrible knowledge of American geography, and the fact I kind of made Teddy unwelcome in a large area. I think the current plan is good enough, but I'd like to hear what everyone thinks...
2025-09-02 20:36:12 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday was rough, but we're back! I always hate missing posts, it stresses me out and I always seem to lose followers after a single missed post. Maybe that just my anxiety talking, but that's what it feels like.
Thanks for putting up with my unexpected absence. We're b...
Sorry all... I just spent the last four and a half hours trying to write today's Unexpected Guests, the time it usually takes me to write an entire chappy, and only managed to do half a page.
I realized about half way through that I'd forgotten to take my ADHD meds today, and probably over...
It all over! Chappy slightly shorter than usual, but seemed like a good place to end. Hope you all enjoyed. Only need a couple more chapters to wrap things up... I'll try and finish next week!
If it was difficult to maneuver around the arena before, it was a compl...
Not the end of this arc, but I don't want it to go as long as the last one so we're moving it along... still have some travel chapters then the second big stop to go and we're almost half way through the book already!

“Okkkaaayyyy… this is new. Where is everyone?” I asked as we stepped out of the safe room and into the parlor.
I’d expected a couple comfy couches, a plush carpet, and maybe even a large stone fireplace to heat the place up. Instead I found what appeared to be a small gambling...
2025-08-25 20:37:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe elevator opened onto a large, open, atrium area decorated with brushed metal, and fake wood panelling. I knew that the place normally catered to a higher class clientele, not many people came here for the view anymore, but I was surprised at how few people there actually were wandering around...

That's another week down, see you monday!
“Facinating,” Siegward muttered as he swirled a vial of water around, using the bright sunlight in the clearing to inspect the crystal clear water. “It’s obvious that the wellspring is purifying the waters in the area, but there’s something else too…”

2025-08-22 19:45:17 +0000 UTC View Post“What’s this thing?” Eddie asked.
“It’s called the Space Needle,” Alan explained, as he inspected the strangely shaped building. “It was apparently a famous landmark from old Seattle. Once they finished building the megacity the government apparently salvaged the structure, an...
2025-08-22 15:35:26 +0000 UTC View PostI cooperate with another FF author when it comes to the Cascadia region, and he hasn't had a chance to review this yet, so there might be changes later. If it's anything big, I'll let you know.

Still trying to figure out what chapter to do next. I know TBoB is scheduled, but I'm not quite sure who/where Teddy would visit first. Gotta think about it. Might do SS if I can't think of something during my break... we'll see.
Since we were the last ones ...

Pam gently pulled open the door and stuck her head inside. “Mr. Palmer, I’ve brought your two newest Students...

2025-08-19 20:30:54 +0000 UTC View PostThis chapter took much longer than usual, and it feels a little rough. We spent far longer in Vancouver than I originally expected, and I still have two more stops to make, so we need to move things along! It's not terrible, I just had trouble stringing it together... hope it reads ok...
2025-08-19 17:01:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe floor took significantly longer than I expected. Bob ended up going through the floor four times until he found a way across.
I couldn’t exactly blame him for that. Well, I could blame him for wrecking the floor in the first place, but not for his pathfinding. Each attempt seemed to b...
2025-08-18 18:56:00 +0000 UTC View PostI added a tiny bit to 22, so Nimbletainment left some stuff for them. It's only land, but I'll add it to the previous post if you want to see it.
I lost track of the number of times that Issi forced me to ride the ‘teacups’ while we were waiting for the others...
I remembered this week! Almost all the stories have a new file too!

So, I've been thinking about the story and I really like it, for the most part. I did come to a realization though... Selena is such a non-character right now. I had long term plans for her, as a character that shook things up then slowly engratiated herself with the main group, but t...

2025-08-14 20:19:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt took us close to half an hour to order food for everyone. The food court had so many different stalls, and types of food, that no one could agree on what to try. I briefly considered just ordering some food through Nyx to break the stalemate, but Jane quickly quashed that idea. Apparently this...

“Are you sure you’re okay boss?” Spooky asked as we stepped out of the rest area.
