My book is done! The next few days will mostly be spent making various fixes and collecting feedback for last minute edits. I have crossed the finish ribbon, and now all is left is checking if my shoelaces are tied and posing on the podium.

Expect a Royal Road link to be dropped here very soon. I'm so happy!!!!

Aaaaand uh, actually naming the stupid thing. It's still "Placeholder Title".

Yeah wooo!!  Excited for it, it was interesting to hear you talk about it from time to time!
The lack of title made me laugh XD but makes sense.

Whoo, congrats!

What *is* the book, out of curiosity? Like genre, blurb, that sorta thing.

It's a book of forbidden knowledge

Oh, forbidden knowledge. Dime-a-dozen nowadays.

EDIT: I'm in a random good mood right now. Any real cause? Nope. Still gonna enjoy it.

[pisskop]

It's actually a meta-commentary on the nature of the forbidden knowledge literary category.

On the cover is a picture of a bipedal fox and book with a face.  The fox is stabbing the book.  The book is screaming violently.

Congratulations! I hear finishing is the hardest part

Nah I blasted out the end and people say I stuck the landing.

So the year is 2230. Humanity has spread out into space thanks to the invention of FTL and torchdrives.

There's this human who has a bunch of alien friends and lives on a boring and unremarkable frontier planet. One day he scrounges up enough money for a trip to Earth-- the shining capital of human civilization. Takes his friends (2 aliens) along. Early on they stumble into a conspiracy and generally hijinks ensue. After that they pick up more travelers. A lot of it is kind of interpersonal interaction and it's fairly chill as far as modern sci-fi goes.

But at what point in the book do we get to find out about the forbidden knowledge I was told about?

[Frumple]

Oh, right from the start. You just have to figure out which letter cypher is being used in order the parse the message hidden in the rest of the text. It's not a particularly complex one, though, so you should be able to get it eventually. Good luck!

Set up family sharing on Steam so I'm able to play Baldur's Gate 3 once it's downloaded since my brother has it.

My book (about the space road trip) is RELEASED!!!! Check it out! https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/73240/stardust

I had hoped you would go with "Working Title"

Tried to remove a cranefly from my room. Almost got it to the window and it escaped up the side of the shutter, straight into a spider's web. With a spider.

Now, being endlessly fascinated by the natural world (And hating daddy long legs, they're just way too gangly for me to like them), I'm kinda pleased at having a mini nature documentary play out in front of my eyes.

[Egan_BW]

I'd heard that some people call craneflies daddy long legs, but this is the first I've encountered. Doesn't make sense though cuz craneflies can fly and clearly a daddy long legs has no wings!

[Frumple]

It's extra weird because they don't even look like a granddaddy long leg's kid. Body's way too large, et al.

Valid!  You tried to do the gentle thing.  There's no harm in beholding nature, red in tooth and claw.  It's probably even wise to acknowledge it.

It's also good to be gentle like you did.  I've been discussing morality with a friend, and I think we agree that performing kindness for lesser creatures is a good habit that builds a healthier psyche.
