I used to think it was depressing having no-one read my writing, but at least the occasional comments were from real people.
It's a million times worse to see the occasional trickle of hits and know they're all just bots, feeding your work into the slop machine.

"Big Mouth, Big Heart"
Certain zeroids have a big mouth, asking questions Hiro isn't quite sure he wants to face, yet? But they are usually forgiven for it, too.
(Hiro was given such a fascinating backstory! But then it seems to have never been used in ANY official media...)

Just a silly Halloween-y short featuring an out-of-place worried little round boy trying his best to scare the Martians away from Egypt, and save his humans, too - helped out by a mysterious little temple cat.

Will always be amazed by how some people STILL seek out fan pages for 40-year-old TV shows, just to say how much they DIDN'T enjoy it. What’s even the point? Pissing on it in front of the people who love it isn’t going to un-exist the thing. Just go enjoy the stuff you DO like. (You'll live longer!)

Noodling around with a Halloween-esque story involving my best boys, plus Ancient Egyptian cat goddesses.
It does mean I get to play innuendo bingo!
"Of course Owun would be the one to need to be rescued by a pussy."

Having been kidnapped by the martians, poor 101 is in a little bit of a pickle.
Of course, Zero thinks he's just fainted, the poor lamb. At least, at first...

Adobe apparently now thinks I'm so incompetent at humaning, I need its "AI assistant" to help me read a nine page long bus timetable, because nine pages is a "long document".

Thanks for being a total waste of time as usual, Yodel.
I spotted the van outside my building, and sit there for five minutes, before the driver walked away, threw a parcel onto their passenger seat, and drove away again.
THIS IS NOT MISSING ME.
This is making AN INTENTIONAL CHOICE TO NOT GAF.

The boys are out on the moon, looking for Martians, getting into trouble.
None in more trouble than the secretary, though, because of course 101 gets all the fun* jobs in these.

"Black-headed gulls are the worst" says the idiot talking about something that is clearly NOT a black-headed gull (the clue is in the name?), while holding out custard creams to tempt it in for a photo-op in a story bitching about how aggressive they are about stealing food. 🤦♀️
Gulls labelled 'air rats' in seaside cull campaign
John Greenshields, who goes by his campaign name Cliff Head, visited Felixstowe from London and has hit out at black-headed gulls (seagulls).

That's how you can tell human authors from AI.
AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off.
Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.

Em dashes, like anything, should be used in moderation. Check first with your editor if em dashes are right for you. 😉

This took a lot of passes to figure out where it was going. I had an idea but not a clear vision, and so it had to be discovered bit by bit as I painted. I changed my mind a few times and there was a lot of "what if I tried this", but I'm very happy with it :)

I keep forgetting that I'm writing Terrahawks fanfic so I can sometimes get away with writing stuff that's not entirely scientific.
But then plotholes appear, and I go and science it up while I'm trying to fix them.
Like, two zeroids having very long conversations because one is stuck on Mars...

Oh look!
"Square Pegs", chapter one!
Poor 101 is struggling with a newfound fear of heights since London. Certain other zeroids are gearing up to "help" him, mostly by kicking him off the ship.
Maybe not the best plan.
(Spoilers: I does love me a bit of body snatching.)
