Current Lots of ideas, voices in your head? You may not be schizo, just need to find a plot and start writing.

Movie Studios don't use AI to generate scripts because they're not copywritable. My writing is mine, not the world's to play with.

I like that the Amish gives their kids a chance to decide if they want to stay in their parent's religion.

"Badgers?" he said, sweating as he heard gun hammers being cocked unseen behind him. "We ain’t got no badgers. We don’t need no badgers. I don’t have to show you any stinkin' badgers!"

Bio

I am a seven-foot tall minecraft-playing hindu guru drag-queen alien.

Possessor of an Ancient Deviceβ„’ Model 17. No, I don't know what it does. No, you can't play with it.

Pronouns: It. As in: "What is it? What does it want? Why is it here? Oh my god, it's got my... <insert random body part or object here>"

Likes: World Domination, Writing, Rpg, scifi/fantasy, anime, sketchup 3d models, and anime music videos.

Companions: a host of characters from other games, my personal muse Penny (as in Bad), and the Badger gang - Toothpick, Buttons, Shark, and Mongo. They grew up in the balcony of an old theatre that played a lot of gangster movies. Normally benign, but may invade the OOC forums.

Sorry for the delay.

Zeppelin #27, Gondola



Seeing Carter, Nikos put every last bit of strength he had left into his leap, his hands desperately reaching for Carter's...

...and managed to grab his wrist.

"Have mercy!" the bosun begged, his face twisted into a rictus of terror. "Don't let go!"

Nikos reached up with his free hand, managing to grab a handful of the net, then after a moment started pulling himself up.

Why had they released the water bladders before he could do the quick-release on the mooring? The zeppelin needed to be untied!

I tried looking for out of pocket resources to redownload wordpad though I couldn't find anything in my quick 30-minute search. I might look more in depth later. It's cool that they offer a free limited version of word once again but I appreciate wordpad more.


If you can find an Win10 or Win11 system that still has it, you have to navigate to the C:\\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories folder and copy wordpad.exe, WordpadFilter.dll, and the personalization folder (Mine says en-US). You then paste them into the same folder on your computer, then run wordpad.exe so you can pin it to start or taskbar.

I used wordpad for 90% of my writing shenanigans too. The update took everything, sadly, so I understand the pain. Wordpad was so good. I don't understand why they got rid of it.


latest windows plan offers a free (limited) version of word, so they removed it. I'm trying to reinstall Wordpad from another system.
No, the worse part is a windows update has taken Wordpad from me - which is what I use for most of my sheets.

At least I still have the important details.
sorry for the delay, I lost the character sheet I was working on.

We could have Qaymu meet Sam in the vents, and maybe help with capturing the gremlins.


He can shrink down, can he?

Nine sighs, waiting patiently at the rally point. Her dark uniform was going to soak up the sun when they left, but she didn't have anything else to wear. And the body armor underneath was just going to make it worse, but with this strange enemy out there, it made no sense to skip it. At least she had a good pair of boots that didn't fit anyone else.

She wondered just where Josiah was going to send them?

Hopefully somewhere where she could safely obtain the devices and materials she needed if she was going to survive in this surface world.

She glanced over at Maverick. At some point, she was going to need to start a family, How long before the contraceptives she ate daily all her life would wear out, she wondered?
Started on Kit.

I'm wondering what sort of enhancements would be forbidden?

Maximum of two characters, eight NPCs. hmmm.

How do you feel about this as inspiration?

Nikos spun the handwheel to unlock the mooring cone in its cup, afraid any moment he was going to be shot before it was free. When it suddenly fell off in his hand, he stares at it for a long moment in disbelief, then tossed it aside. Grabbing the quick release lever, he yanked it down, pushing the mooring cone up out of the cup.

"Wait for me!" he yelled, climbing frantically down the ladder and sprinting towards the gondola, his legs and arms pumping with adrenalin as the cool crisp air burned in his lungs.

"This is a stupid way to die!" he thought to himself as the gondola came closer and closer....
