Up until today I've never had any trouble with my EUIV Japan games. Today I got stomped five times in a row before even uniting the country.

Bio

I'm a weeaboo communist. Are you surprised?

EDIT: You probably are now, but I'm not going to tell you why you wouldn't have been like two years ago. You get to agonize over that yourself.

FINALLY found some time to work on this. My God am I sorry it took me this long to get this little out, but school and NaNoWriMo makes for no free time ever.

Did I mention how much I want to read this? Because I really want to read this.

I just crossed over the day's target for the first time this year. 42k, theraboutsishly. My scene exploded and I'm happy about it, and also I spilled some bourbon on my keyboard but it's still working so I think I'm good.




Congrats on that! You've gotten further than I have (I'm at 41864 now). I'm now at the bit where I rant about nuclear weapons for a bit, but this time I'm being less anvilicious about it then normal. Instead of ranting about them being evil, I imply that they're not meant for puny little planet-bound civilizations like us to have. But hey, this time, the good guys get to use them, and only with a medium-sized amount of guilt.

At this rate, I might be able to watch The Avengers without feeling really bad about the fact that Iron Man basically just carried out nuclear genocide at the end!

EDIT: I should also probably mention the fact that the blue alien woman has started to play Homeworld. I was gonna go with Starcraft, but I got the feeling that a species exiled from their home planet by alien invaders attempting to reclaim it after being reduced to only a small number of people all living on a fleet of starships would be something she would enjoy a bit more. For the same reason you made a version of yourself in the Sims which was significantly more attractive than you are in real life, then proceeded to choose the career path of your dreams while also making another unreasonable attractive romantic partner.
But 37k words written by a guy whose longest story before that was 6k words long? That means NaNoWriMo's helped me improve my determination by around 600%!


Damn! That's a hell of an improvement, you're right to be proud!

@Keyguyperson
I'd read it too.

IF you'll note, the blue femalien can also be GREEN


No, blue. Only blue. Leiji Matsumoto has got my back on this one, blue is the best color for bland, human-looking aliens.
I'm at 40,159 now, and I'm definitely going with the parallels to the Refugee Crisis. You can't get much more blatant than having an MC say "We were forced out of our homeland because of power-lustful invaders" and having Earth on the verge of being overrun should they accept her people as refugees, with multiple politicians being quite outspoken about only letting ones who agree to denounce their own culture in or simply nuking them out of the sky. Now I've gotten to the point where I spend like ten pages discussing cultural differences and their affects on two societies completely alien to each other.

I'm literally the only person who would ever read this, aren't I?

Screw all of you, thanks to you derailing the thread, I almost posted a list of the most commonly prescribed drugs.
Well, we've got six days left now. Less than a week. I'm gonna have to start writing a bit more, since I won't be able to do that much on the 30th thanks to homework. Instead of the usual "Start at like 8 or 9 in the afternoon and go until you're done", I'll probably set myself a X to Y time to actually hold myself to. Shouldn't be hard, I have nigh-infinite time on my hands right now.
I'm going with The Bluebird of Uotsuri-shima. Because the island of Uotsuri-shima is important (like, WWIII-level important), and one of the main characters is a blue alien (shut up I was more creative with how that species expresses emotion I swear) whom has hollow bones for a damn good reason. Originally, it was going to be called On Fridays We Eat Curry, and be about the crew of a Japanese destroyer during a hypothetical war with China. But then I remembered the whole "Dude in Navy finds injured alien" story I came up with a year ago. So now I have something that reads like I'm soapboxing about the Syrian Refugee Crisis, while also kinda being an interspecies romance, while ALSO being about a brewing war in the Pacific.

So that's fun.

In other news, 38,547 words today! Woo! Now I've finally hit the point where I have to start skipping bits because I don't know what to do with them.

I know I haven't been pointing out my desire to read any of these novels despite the fact that I totally do, but yours just sounds like my kind of thing. I really love those classic, Indiana Jones-y type stories, as well as character interaction. The only way you could make me more interested would be to throw in something about nuclear weaponry.
