I got a nice 6 hour time slot on Thursday this week for Do All The Things, so why not fill it with some awesome Mario Sports completionist speedruns! I love these games myself, and my runners are very very passionate about them too, so this might be an episode to remember :>
The speedruns don't stop!!
Cool down after #AGDQ2026 with GDQ Hotfix everyday this week!

All finished with my submission for the Mechsplo December 2025 Microjam, which is a continuation of my submission to the Fall 2025 jam. This piece further explores the question: 'What if, Hounds... but also, clowns? Hmm? Hmmmmmm?'
Enjoy!

In addition to the other daily obligations I've recently assigned myself or had assigned to me, I made a firm personal commitment to add 100 words to the draft of a work that will be published every day. Notes and outlines don't count.
Since then, I've been *flying*. Highly recommend this practice.

Alright, it occurs to me that Mechsplo is an ero-horror genre, so 'farcical comedic Mechsplo that isn't even all that horny' might actually be a bit of a hard sell. That said, I worked very hard on "Send in the Hounds!" and I'm very, very proud of the results. Come enjoy what I've cooked!
Come one, come all, come forth, come down: the **Mechsplo Expo** is in town!

Draft is done, only a few more editing passes left before it's ready.
Y'all have *absolutely no idea what you're in for.* September 19 can't come soon enough. 😌

In the meantime, I've finally figured out what I'm doing for the Mechsplo Writer's Jam, and without giving too much away my sincere hope is that it will leave people thinking: "Wait hold on, isn't she the one who did that tense, serious Cold War thriller piece two weeks ago? What the fuck? Huh???"

Actually publishing my shit has had the wonderful side effect of putting me in closer contact with other mechsploitation writers.
Witnessing some of the fun they're getting up to drives home how lucky I am that Miss and Mistress haven't obliged me to divulge any details about our dynamics (yet). 😶

I'm blown away by the positive response to [Homo Caninus]. It got a lot more attention than I was expecting, honestly. It's encouraging. Here's hoping my emphatically overambitious solo project gets a similar reception, once I finish it. Still only a third of the way done atm, but I'll get there.

Please enjoy my first published mechsploitation work: PEREKHODNAYA FORMA ★ [Homo Caninus]. Fair warning: it's a rather intense piece.
