Can we take a moment to just appreciate how good foxes are?

Done for now~

Heck with it, gonna do a writing stream. Open to multistream requests or voice chat on discord if folks want. Have a server link if so. https://picarto.tv/makyo

Actually, I was reminded that Picarto does multi-streaming, if others want to join in ^^

Anyone interested in some writing stream? Also considering making it a chat over discord. If so, I can get set up in a little bit here!

@packbat Thank you so much for playing, and for taking the time to reply. It honestly means a lot to me that something like this has touched others. Meant a lot to be able to write this!

Best time to catch a plot hole is I guess while writing???

(There's a version of the game on itch if you would like to support it there, but it has been de-furried rather clumsily. If you would still like to play it, that's okay, but that is also a place to support it! https://makyo.itch.io/youre-gone )

I wrote a story about processing grief over the death of a loved one as told through texts to them. I...don't know if I'm glad of the responses, per se, but I am proud of them, in a way.

"Be prepared to cry when reading this one. I know I did."

"I found myself crying with Markus and getting infuriated at his mother-in-law"

"I too will admit that I cried over "You're Gone", an epistolary short story over texts."

"There were a lot of times where I’d just notice I was crying as I was reading along"

"[Madison] is to blame for this, and for making me sob like a pup and worrying my dog."

You can read it in Restless Town: https://makyo.ink/publications/restless-town

It was originally a piece of interactive fiction, and:

"This was good, made me cry harder that any "game" before."

You can play it here: https://makyo.ink/youre-gone

Someone buy mew.tube and make a peertube site dedicated to cats.

ally is up for preorder now! Ships June 1. If you're in the US and interested, consider ordering direct, as that helps me out the most ^^ You won't be charged until release date, and you cancel before then if you need.

Advance review of ally:

"I feel as though when I was reading this, I was chasing down sparkling fractions of the author’s soul. Chasing them not because I got this to read and review, but because I deeply wanted to. So I could put all those fractions together and solve an ultimate puzzle whose picture would contain some incomprehensible beauty." -Linnea on Goodreads
