Likes to sail the vastness of the deep, deep seas and deep, deep space in my mind's eye. But not a real sailor as, like Sir Francis Chichester's wife, I can't tolerate blue water sailing. Still, I have a strange fascination for maritime fiction.
I have several #interactiveFiction#parser#textAdventure#games works in progress, that I'm in various stages of developing. Suddenly had great idea last night for one of them, reframing the opening and overall structure. Making frantic notes now before I totally forget it all. Typing into comments in my #Inform7 source code. Feeling invigorated. Hoping that my #neuro#illness allows me enough good time to complete this #game and the others satisfactorily. #IndieGames#GameDev#creativeWriting
I never made an #introduction post, after all this time. My name is Ben, an airy man who tends to have my head in the clouds. I'm mainly a #gaymer but my other hobbies will be included in the hashtags. So far, my experience with Mastodon has been a good one. With luck, I'll continue to create a group of people to talk with. #Reading#creativewriting#anime#manga#art
For the creatives here on Mastodon I'd like to share a website that witnesses your work for the purposes of copyright protection. An important issue and perhaps a site that can provide some reassurance. Take a look.
I've long since been a follower of #McSweeney's since shortly after they showed up on the internet. They're a nonprofit publisher from #SanFrancisco. When I can afford it, I subscribe to their print efforts, McSweeney's #Quarterly and the bimonthly #TheBeliever. But their frequently updated #InternetTendency (of such nuggets as "Im Comic Sans, Asshole") still scratches that daily #creativewriting itch for me. Worth checking out:
