I’M BACK HOME FINALLY TIME TO CATCH UP ON HORSE SHOW, SIXTH EDITION

Wow okay uh.

Stranger than Fan Fiction was pretty good. Cart Before the Ponies was meh. And 28 Pranks Later was just ugh.

Moving on from that ‘ 2’

Dang.

Tumblr is a rather heavy site and barely usable at the moment. Fortunately, I go home this weekend so I’ll catch up and all then.

One strange idea I’ve been developing in-house is the idea of “whitespace,” a medium that separates universes (or ask blogs, rather). Whitespace is a place that permeates the multiverse and provides access to other alternate worlds. It is my explanation for how asks appear in Diaries and PC, how crossovers happen, and also the entire point of a portal in PC.

A universe is represented by a door of relevant design, a name tag that is basically the URL of the blog, and a status light. Light on means the universe is accessable and active. Light flashing means it’s unaccessible or inactive. Light off means that it is dead.

There are also other spaces that describe lost ideas that were scrapped or forgotten (red), blogs that have been wiped with no trace (black), brainstorming and planning ideas (grey), and the non-canon stuff that happens in private conversations like roleplaying (blue).

As time goes on, I get more and more nervous about PC’s status as both a story and a blog. Will people like the new updates? Are they still interested? Am I refusing to accept the decline of the blog? Will I ever be able to advance to the next chapters?

The entire project is now approaching 5 years old and as that number keeps climbing, the more I feel like I’m running out of time.

But everything will work out. I know it will. And I hope it will.

How amazing that my laptop got bricked while on vacation.

Worst part is that I’m very sure that the cause was an update being pushed to the thing while it was suspended last night and was low on battery. You’d think there’d be a safeguard against that :V

And somehow, there’s no restore points to roll back to so my only option is to reset it.

Thanks Microsoft.

Hey all!

Busy busy week with variable wifi and power. Brought a sketchbook, though, so expect stuff.

By stuff, I mean a whopping eleven PC updates.
