PaperCamm said...

Some days. Some nights. Some live, some die in the way of the samurai

The elements of gaming description can't help but remind me of an H.P. Lovecraft short story.

karrotline said...

Tyranoman said...

Still waiting on My little hangover and Transcendence ;_;

Travis Smith said...

@Tyranoman
I liked it until it started hinting at Dash shipping

Bubblegum Pie said...

I've been waiting in agony for either it takes a village or that one about caramel n twilight

Travis Smith said...

I still need Rain without Rainbows, fallout already came out, Pony space, oh God if they made a sequel to My Little Dashie. Now I'm sad.

Hivemind said...

Everytime I look on EQD, and see that there is a story update with nothing I read, I just wanna punch the authors :l

MONSTERheart said...

@Hivemind

I'm pretty sure the idea is that you try out new stories.

Cottonmouth said...

@Hivemind

And everytime I look into these story updates I see idiots like you bitching about how your story didn't update.

Please, we don't care if your favorite story didn't update.

Just don't talk.

archiveit said...

I like the way My Sweetie is going. It's a major improvement over the original, which I also liked. The conflict feels a lot more believable in the revised version, exploring the main character's feelings more and slowly building up to what is coming, instead of just suddenly coming to a head over something that seems somewhat trivial.

Cottonmouth said...

@archiveit

Oh my god.

Holy shit.

I...

This comment is so beautiful. It's actually talking about one of the fics, discussing what they found enjoyable about said fic and the strengths it has within it.

Notice how he isn't whining about how 'XXX' didn't update? How his comment actually makes you want to read the fic?

I'm shocked.

Archiveit, you surely are a god among insects.

Thank you so much.

shadowfalcon76 said...

AWWWWWWWWWW shit, bra! More Elements of Gaming? Hell yeah! Time to get down with this!

Unknown said...

Upheaval is pretty damn good. Not as grimdark as expected, which is a good thing.

DPV111 said...
