TRYING TO GET BACK INTO THE HABIT OF POSTING, I GUESS.
not that anyone is really going to read this in real-time, but, you know, that's kind of the appeal.
I've been working on HELL GAME for a... while, I guess. my work cycle has kind of stabilized as something like "throw myself at the description generator for long enough to get frustrated; write some sex scenes; maybe edit some existing sex scenes to be more polymorphic or well stitched-together; sometimes work on something entirely different just to get myself in the code groove", which as work cycles go is pretty good. the description generator is... i mean, it's coming together, but it's in a perpetual state of around 90% of the time spent on it being a series of missteps, and it's increasingly annoying that i'm still working on it as Code rather than being able to add to it as Data. hence doing other work where i actually feel like i'm accomplishing something to boost morale.
Also I'd really like to transfer my tumblr layout over, or at least mess with my layout sufficiently that it has the whole, black and neon rainbows thing going on. But the S2 layout engine is... like blogger and tumblr use this fairly basic templating engine, right, where you write chunks of html attached to certain labels, and the templater lays all those labels down and expands them into html. S2 is, as far as I know, an actual scripting language. It is way complicated and also really weird. Maybe I'll have to find some layout comms. Or read the docs.

- sex scenes w/ the clay-men. well, "clay-men" it is more like it is a sentient mess of clay that sometimes decides to be shaped like a guy. half of the scenes end with them decohering into a mass of clay for a while.
- also in "writing the other sex scenes has lead me to this conclusion" news, the weird upset for this encounter has been: given that they are described as continually falling apart and made of soft enough clay that it's difficult to like, touch them, uh, it absolutely makes sense to write a popping scene. you know where you have a huge dick and STUFF THEM SO FULL OF YR LOAD that they rupture. which... like absolutly devoid of its usual snuff connotations i can see the appeal. "this would be hot if it didn't involve MURDERING SOMEONE" is a line i have sadly had to say a lot. but thankfully now nobody's getting murdered. yay.
- sex scenes w/ the sons of hamar-tabal. mostly editing the existing ones.
- i had fleshed some of them out to account for DICK SIZE but then realized i had been drastically underestimating just how big dicks would get. like, there's a fairly discrete set of sizes things can be, based on how many [SIZE] nodes there are attached to your body + your dick, and i realized that given the descriptions you get the largest size is basically having a person-sized dick, when i had written it in the sex scene as... much smaller. so i had to do some other branching and also write a completely separate sex scene for the biggest class of dick, since that's like... big. and this is just one specific bodytype sex scene (it's snakes. yr a giant snake.) so like, this is gonna get long. it's a good thing i'm aiming for short overall sex scenes b/c otherwise this would be completely impossible to write
