Writing Stuff #3 and #4

My proof readers are off having real lives. I'll have to have them proof stories 3 and 4 for all my wondrous typos and other such issues. However, I put them up anyway because I'm excited sometimes. I also wanted to say, to a point, this is what I am doing. Here has been my time. Docked up in station, my ship bobbing in the background as a word document covers most of my screen.

I decided to add a little 'update' notification to the Eve Stories link in a hope that it will be a bit more noticeable. Another reason I am dropping a post is because a lot of people (including myself) read blogs on cell phones. The mobile version of blogger does not display the links and other goodies that we add to the blogs.

The stories are all linked here, on my new Eve Stories page.

As I write these words I let my imagination take control and then wrap it into a bundle of Eve. I often ask myself, what is going on? Who is it going on with? What reflects the real life and times of a player.

And then I've been running with it.

I don't have a set goal or number of things to write for this contest. I'm not trying to spam it. I'm just using the momentum to see what I can produce. I guess it looks like some type of attention whorement. For me, its been a very fun process so far. Sometimes I get rather excited as I write and the scenes start to flow.

I'm happy that people are putting up with me. I have these random bursts of excitement and odd questions in chat all the time. My boys and my gankers have been good about working through the technical detail and funneling my creativity into enough realism that hopefully not to many eyes will roll.

So I've finished up Sleeper Dreams and If Bullets Were Kisses. Both have been submitted to the contest. Both need a comb through with the proof readers but I've been well known to toss things out on the internet anyway with the hopes that someone will enjoy it regardless.

Maybe one day!

It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their bio

Memoirs - Part Seven: The Taste of Scandal

Virtual Realities: Memoirs of an internet spaceship politician by Sugar Kyle CSM9, CSMX Viewers get some drama Is there any election that is scandal free? Virtual space politics are not excluded. Sometimes the scandals come from the people ruining. Sometimes they come from outside of that. “I can’t wait to enjoy the drama!” someone had said to me about the election. Those words would haunt me later as I fought not to be caught up and defined by the decisions another person had made. While I played the game and tried to convince people of my worthiness a dark drama was sweeping across the game. The CSM does not dictate game policy. CCP does that. It does not stop many from seeing the members as vocal representatives. It was a public post made by one member of the CSM that started a fire that would take years to go out. Eve Online is an interactive video game with few social rules. It is one of the games charmes. If you can trick another player into making a po

And back again

My very slow wormhole adventure continues almost as slowly as I am terminating my island in Animal Crossing.  My class 3 wormhole was not where I wanted to be. I was looking for a class 1 or 2 wormhole. I dropped my probes and with much less confusion scanned another wormhole. I remembered to dscan and collect my probes as I warped to the wormhole. I even remembered to drop a bookmark, wormholes being such good bookmark locations later. My wormhole told me it was a route into low sec. I tilted my head. How circular do our adventures go. Today might be the day to die and that too is okay. That mantra dances in the back of my head these days. Even if someone mocks me, what does that matter? Fattening someone's killboard is their issue not mine. So I jumped through and found myself in Efa in Khanid, tucked on the edge of high sec and null sec. What an interesting little system.  Several connections to high sec. A connection to null sec. This must be quite the traffic system.    I am f
