If you guys are wondering if I died. I did not. I just feel weirdly ashamed whenever I post on the forums when my story has gone without an update for awhile.

Only time I used foot notes was in my Interwar inspired fictional dogfighting aerial combat short story, because there was a ton of aviation terms like AGL, altimeter, etc, that I don’t expect the average reader to know

Re Monster. The MC is a hypocrite who constantly goes back on their word, which isn’t inherently a bad thing, but when the ’words they back on’ are ‘I’m not gonna rape people’ and ’I’m not gonna own slaves’ its off putting to say the least. Don’t know if I’ve ever hated an mc more. Honorable...

Yes, I read way more translated novels then I do novels on SH. The reason is, for a product to receive a translation it either A: Has enough success to which a publishers thinks it warrants an official translation, or B: Has enough success in its country of origin that a fan translator decides...

The Dark Watchers (Wikipedia link) Genuinely terrifying bit of NA folklore that is almost completely forgotten. Excerpt form John Steinbeck’s short story Flight, probably the most famous of the references to the legend

This a monster concept I made for a story that was never released. It’s basically like a hydra snail abomination thing
