《What's This Fiction ? A Very Incomplete Project.》Scheduling
Advertisement
Time has a tendency to flow, with people's consent, or not.
If time was to ever stop, then it wouldn't even be felt, because the passage of time is part of the very definition of the universe. Time paused ? So is everything else. Then it'd just move forward, once again, as if nothing happened. Or maybe it wouldn't and we would all be frozen. I dunno. I'm no expert in time manipulation and it's possible effects on the wide world.
In fact, time has such a tendency to flow, that some say it flies by.
While I don't believe in such hyperboles, it quite is a fact that how much time passes can take me by surprise.
Whether by how little it has passed, or how much.
As such, maybe thinking up of a schedule for when I should write'd be a good idea.
So, let's do just that :
When, exactly, would be an appropriate time for writing ? What would be a good amount per some random time-keeping unit ?
Such good questions !
And my answers to those would be : Whenever. Whatever.
But then, how will I possibly ever write anything of value, importance or relevance to the story ? How will I keep people interested ?
What bothersome questions, mesays !
But still I shall answer, and so, my answer's : However.
But then what was the purpose of all this likeness of planning, this acting of me thinking up some serious answers, this fake pondering, you ask ?
I was just writing whatever. That's what I do most of the time.
I think it's the most precious thing about of creation, too :
You can just create whatever, no one will hold it up to you if you create some abstract piece of work no one can understand, or if you do blatant 4th wall-breaking with no purpose except because you felt like doing it, neither will they if you write a shitty piece of work.

Except if it has errors in grammar, orthography and vocabulary all over the place. That tends to upset a good amount of people. Also politics. And unintentional or intentional antagonization of groups of people (Which includes the previous two things, you'll notice, but eh). That, is more or less all the exceptions.
But even then, these exceptions have exceptions within. Which I'll resume in one word : satire. Satires can bend the rules just fine, they'll get out of it more or less intact. Their goal isn't to be a good work anyway (although it's a bonus if they are). Their goal is to point out issues in other works while making fun of them.
Satire can be a mere comment, or a whole fictional work. Doesn't matter. They'll get out more or less intact.
Oh, people don't like nonsense too much, too, I heard.
It must be because it antagonizes people who don't have the time for shenanigans.
I wonder where's the bar between nonsense and fantasy ?
My best guess is it depends on people, and it's somewhere in between reality (excluded) and absolute chaos (included). Actually, no, reality is included, it is so much nonsensical sometimes too. Or is it absurd ? What's the difference ?
Anyway.
Where are the toilets when you need them ?

Necromancer's Knight: a Light in Death
It was dark, pitch black. Where am I? Where was I last? I died. Am I still dead? A light so dim, yet so blindingly bright to me appeared in a vertical line. The line grew wider and wider, all until the stone slab above my coffin was completely removed. I removed it, I lifted it, without even willing it. And my body continued to move until it was outside of the crypt. It was night, but there was a full moon. And a little girl in front of me. She clutched a black book to her chest as if it were the last thing she had left in this world. I've heard stories of this, I imagined the possibility, but I never thought it would happen to me. Tears streaked down her cheeks. She choked the words out. "Please, save my papa!"

The Adventures of Rat Damon
12/20/2021: we're back to work! Rat Damon reflects on his life of adventuring, both before and after meeting Jack Jensen of earth. He recounts many of his experiences, both happy and sad. He regales you with the tales of power found and love lost. This is a side-adventure based on our The Other Guys series. Rat Damon makes an appearance in Heroes of Last Resort but is much more than a simple rat. What I will post here is going to be a lot rougher than Heroes as I am writing and posting as I go along, so my apologies go out to you in advance! However, I will revise as needed as we go along. As writing isn't my full-time gig, the posting of new material here will likely be a bit irregular and as far as what length this book will be, it remains to be seen. This was originally envisioned to be a 30-40k word novella but one never knows where the story will take me. Do not fret, book 2 in the series is well on its way, in fact much farther along than this novel(la?). We will see where Rat Damon takes, I guess! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I had writing it.
