“A Christmas Carol” has been added to the Codex — in part to test how the format might look for an entire book, but mostly just because it’s a lovely little read at any time of year. :-)

New year, new me, new site name. Welcome, one and all, to The Satyrs’ Forest! (Presence of satyrs not guaranteed.)

Thanks for the follow and hello! Funnily, I also live in the north of England and just last night had a conversation along the lines of "should we move somewhere else like the Netherlands" : )

HAPPY [Gregorian] NEW YEAR!!! 2021 was better than 2020, so let’s all hope 2022 doesn’t totally fuck up that positive trend, eh?

The magic of *video*! The audio seems to be borked on browsers other than Firefox for.. some reason, but hey, that’s why subtitles were invented.

i love the inclusion of the little transcript dropdown tab! out of curiosity, did you host the vid thru neocities or elsewhere?

My site isn’t hosted on Neocities anymore — it’s actually with the UK-based hosting provider Krystal, but a quirk of Neocities’ slightly broken unsubscribe function lets me keep updating here and having it automatically redirect to marijn.uk :-)

Funnily enough, though I've tried every text editor or "distraction-free" writing app in town, I’ve found that the best way to get a blog post or wall of text down is to just crack open a notebook, get out the black pen, and start writing, copying it down onto The Computer Box later.

I suspect it's because there's no backspace button; every time i write on a computer i just revise and revise over and over again until the paragraph is completely devoid of personality

Added a funky little map to the family heritage section, to help orientate the Americans

It’s amazing how people's about pages can list their every single minute demographic detail and yet still tell me absolutely nothing about the person who wrote it

When i made this website i swore to myself that i would never use the stereotypical starry Geocities background. I would like to apologise to my past self, and hope that she might find this somewhat tasteful

This isn't really in any kind of playable state yet; i just wanted to show that i’d gotten the basic “engine” (read: javascript spaghetti) to work

I have decided not to badger my artist friend until my character is more fleshed-out, and as such, will instead be doing my fursona page in the style of a choose-your-own-adventure(™) interactive-fiction thing. Have I ever programmed anything of the sort before in my life? No. Am I too stubborn to learn how to use a third-party thing like Twine? Yes. Will this stop me? No. >:)

Protip: You can take three routes with this. Twine works best for you probably because it has built in HTML support. Inklewriter would probably be a good place to get it organized & compiled in a draft, though it has excruciatingly limited options for decor. RenPy gives you the most freedoms but also requires you get familiar with some Python and throws you in the crowd of 'dating sim writers'.

If you do take the RenPy route, though, there is a channel with easy to digest tutorials I found a bit ago that might be of help. I know all this because I myself have been trying to write a work of 'interactive fiction' (with very little success, as I tend to stay in development hell).

Turns out I actually got one more entry in my inbox than I thought I did — my apologies to our forthcoming concerned conservationist for missing them out in the first count!

This has the side effect of bumping our final submission up to the winter solstice, which is nice
