《Indisposable Trash》Notice: Updates Restarting Soon
Advertisement
To those who are still reading this, though that is a bit doubtful given my long, long absence. I have some good news but first I should probably explain myself.
Since late last year, the whole ordeal has been disaster after disaster to the point that it's getting ridiculous. I kept getting sick in the one period of time where I have more freedom to write. Fever, pain and all that fun stuff. This basically drained all my energy to cross post. You see, cross-posting is quite draining as simple as it may seem. You have to make sure that the formatting is right for each site and all that fun jazz. That repeated bouts of getting sick over the Christmas holidays pulled me to a really bad spot physically and mentally. I just didn't have the motivation to continue posting on multiple sites.
When I stopped getting sick, I kept getting injured. I guess the stress of all that resulted me in getting a bad case of a supposed simple illness and I ended up going to hospital. Now I've finally recovered from the illness though I still have massive amounts of pain with the injuries. I am also in a better place mentally.
What does that mean for Indisposable Trash?
Well to be perfectly honest, I was quite tempted to delete all traces of the story on all other sites other than my main site. It is very obviously a first draft and I agonised whether it will be alright for readers to actually read it. Especially in a site like this one where polished works are the norm. However, my goal was never to be immensely popular though it would be nice (means my niche and weird ideas have made a lot of people happy). My works are not complete let alone polished (you can probably tell with this notice haha) but I do want to share stories that are trapped within my mind to people. I don't know. Something about storytelling appeals to me and cross-posting means that I have a broader range.

So, I guess I will continue to post here, despite it being a probably foolish endeavour. They say the fool never learns and so I might as well embrace it. I want to see the perspective of different people and compile a list of things to polish. I want to also just write. I know a very small number of people have read this and I'm immensely grateful for the little comments here are there. It means that there's someone out there that decided to scream back into the void whether it is in criticism or praise, someone decided that it was worth their time.
So yeah, my works will not be polished for a long time. I have a life and it's been a bit rough lately, let alone busy. I won't be able to have consistent, posts that some authors do. For me, this is a hobby, not a job and I want it to stay that way.
Anyways, long rant over. I will post content soon (tomorrow or the next day) and try to be somewhat regular though that is not a promise. At least my break has given me a small buffer so that should help.
That's all folks :)
TL;DR: I got sick. Lost motivation to post. I got injured then got sicker. Now I'm better and will continue posting.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
