Enjoy the savagery in Part VII of The Year Without a Pandaskunk, now posted!
Also, don’t forget to vote in Round 1 of the Story Tournament, brought to you by quarantine boredom. You have until Sunday night to get your votes in, assuming Opinion Stage doesn’t close the polls early. Apparently I’m over the limit of views they allow for free accounts. Looks like I’ll be using a different poll service for Round 2, which will start Monday. Click on the thumbnail below to see the tournament brackets.
I wish everyone a happy and healthy Easter!
You may have seen the BSB song tournament brackets floating around social media over the past couple of weeks. I filled out two different versions last week for a fun way to pass a few minutes of boredom while in quarantine. Click the thumbnails below to enlarge them. I posted a blank copy next to my completed brackets in case you want to fill them out yourself. The second one was definitely more challenging, as far as decision-making goes.

In honor of Dreamer’s Sanctuary’s upcoming twentieth anniversary, I thought it would be fun to make a fanfic tournament for my readers to vote on… so I did! Click the thumbnail below to view a full-size version of the tournament bracket. If you want, you can save a copy to fill out with your personal picks, then tweet me a picture @RokofAges75!
The actual tournament will run for the rest of this month. This week will be Round 1, which starts with 32 stories from Dreamer’s Sanctuary. I included a variety of stories – old and new, short and long, all different genres – and tried to match them up in a way that made sense. I’ll post a poll for each head to head match-up, and you’ll be able to vote for your favorites.
That’s right, I actually have an update for you and not just another blog about an old story! Blogging may have gotten in the way of fiction writing these last few weeks, but there’s nothing like being quarantined by a deadly virus to get me back on track. I finally finished The Year Without a Pandaskunk! Yes, the Christmas story I started writing in December and haven’t updated since January. Fail. But hopefully it’s worth the wait – I’m quite happy with how it turned out! I’m posting Part VI tonight. Please check it out, if only to see the hilarious photoshop I spent hours making on a whim in the middle of updating. I’ll continue to update weekly until I’ve posted the rest of Pandaskunk. I’m hoping by then I’ll have another new story that’s far enough to start posting. That may be wishful thinking on my part, but hey… one of the few perks of quarantine is lots of extra time to devote to fanfic. So it’s certainly possible!
Stay well, everyone!
Part V of The Year Without a Pandaskunk has been posted, and with that I’m officially caught up to myself. This is all I have written. Hopefully I’ll be able to write Part VI this weekend so I have something to post next weekend. It may not matter because I don’t think many of you are reading this, but that’s okay. I’m writing this for my own amusement. After my last story, it’s nice to write something relatively light-hearted and silly for a change. I’ll be ready for some more drama when this one is done.
For anyone who is actually reading this, I hope you enjoy the update!
