Edgy!

1. I've discovered that if you look at the tag "ratbones" on tumblr, aside from one thing that is actually me, there are just a ton of skateboards and one gun. Edgy. There's also a Ramones tribute band called Ratbones, which I honestly think is clever.

 2. I finished drafting chapter 8 of All-Consuming and it's slightly under 7k. My chapters are meant to land between 5k and 6k words, but that is not what has been happening. It should be up tomorrow unless something comes up. I'm pretty excited about this one! It contains DNA testing, secret files, and fresh fruit.

3. Guardian Fandom Bingo is happening, probably everyone knows by now but just in case?, and I am EXCITED. I am also constitutionally incapable of taking part in structured group activities. The first time I tried to attend university, I dropped out during orientation week. (This is not a joke; it's funny, but it actually happened.) So I think I'm not even gonna try, but if it looks like fun to you and you haven't gotten a card, please do! I'm cheering on everyone who's participating, I love this idea! Also yay for the fandom growing!

4. In continuing "Rat lives in a creepypasta" news, I drive down an unpaved country lane on my way to and from work, and it's got a little wooden bridge over a stream. Lately, when I drive there at night, there is something with glowing red eyes hanging out at the bridge. It's always gone before the direct beam of my headlights reaches it, even when I speed up. ...Okay, it's definitely an opossum. But like. Still.

Oooooooohhhh this is exciting! And fast! So fast I'm still behind but this just means more to look forward to. \o/

This is honestly so very relatable and I'm so glad it's not just me. The bingo looks fun but...! It's very organized. And bingo-y. Which... I signed up for h/c bingo months and months ago and I've done *checks square* ... *squints*... is "soliciting ideas from Dreamwidth comments" on there anywhere? No? Uh well then I've done nothing. (Of the bingo! I'm still managing copious quantities of feral, unboxed h/c.)

Reading this made me want to never drive at night again.

You are a brave soul.

Good to know I'm not alone in this! It's not like I don't appreciate the concept of a close-knit group of like-minded people doing fun activities together, and I do love spectating or even helping out if needed, but as for myself, I gotta go my own way, or else I get, I dunno, performance anxiety or something? XD

I did not, however, drop out of medical college... A choice I regret bitterly to this day ^^

I love that creepypasta! I love wild things living in wild places. <3

Congratulations on the writing! How many total chapters do you anticipate?

I'm hopeless with bingos, but it's so nice to see other people excited about it and adding to the fandom activity! The only structured group activities I can do these days are exchanges, and that's still... primarily solo? I just enjoy taking prompts from people and writing to a deadline.

Glowing red eyes at a bridge... have you paid the troll toll?
