• Doubling Down on Power Creep

  • Goo Alien Design Guidelines

    Originally: https://toyhou.se/~literature/27937.a-study-of-hummus-goo-alien-design-guidelinesCurrent designs: https://toyhou.se/Sudrien/characters/tagged:Goo%20Alien/folder:745652 Goo aliens are obligate shapeshifters.

  • Alarmingly Frequent Incedents

    ♪It’s eight – oh -three and the clock did not go off,♪ Jasprosesprite^2 did not need to let another line of the ditty pound through her head to decide it was horrible, infantile – but it was the voices that declared it that made her pause before thinking to examine anything else.

  • Intermission: Interview with a Crocker

    Chapter 1: Preamble It was the first time in the however many sweeps Her Imperious Condescension’s time on ‘Earth’ that she realized a window might be closing.
