"-you know perfectly well why! Or if you forgot, how about taking another look at that calendar with the big circled date on it!"
"Look, stop blaming me for that, I work best under pressure! We still have enough time to put it through its paces first, is all I'm saying. Imagine if it forms a corrupted processing. We could end up with a course full of flying fish!"
"That only happened once. Statistically, it's more likely to just shut down catastrophically."
"Right, much better. So you admit we've been lucky so far. Do you know what it's like to have to rely on YOUR assumptions?
"No easier than having to pick up your slack! Look, I think its going to be fine. We saw the last model, it only had a 2% divergence, and that was allowing it to run without correction. Hold on a sec, just got a prompt on the system starting.... Ok, just going to skip that, its a redundancy anyways."

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw

Symbiosis
Earth is the only home humanity has. It is where everyone we have ever loved, ever known, and ever heard of has lived and died. Oceans of blood have been spilled by men and women who would be its momentary masters. After a long history of bloodshed, humanity has finally united under a single flag. A world government to lead us into a new age of prosperity, the Hegemony. Under its firm, guiding hand, humanity has flourished. We are stronger, smarter and live longer than ever before. But when our own star threatens our place in the only home we have ever known, our wise leaders turn their eyes to the vast cosmic dark. The world's best and brightest are chosen to be the first to depart and herald our species' great migration. While our best hope for survival is put to sleep and sent off into the stars, we remain to wonder what beauties and horrors they will find. Left behind, all the rest can do is hope they return to save us before it is too late.

Author's Rant
Just a disclaimer, this is not and never will be a story. I just, noticed I have a bad habit of wanting to rant in my author's notes, and have decided that, instead of accidentally doubling the length of each chapter with the author's note alone, I will shove those long-ass rants here. It might contain spoilers for my stories, as I usually wind up ranting about different parts I'm writing. So, if you actually enjoy my rants...well, firstly, what is wrong with you? Secondly, welcome! Time to figure out what tags to stick on this. Also, as of the second chapter, I have decided to shove some of my story ideas here. So if you enjoy half-baked, unfinished stories, then I got those too. I think that adds that short story tag?
