New Fiction Today

It seemed that I had slipped deep into the world of serious posting and I wanted to step away from that for a little bit.  I've had some fiction writing projects I've been working on and other's developing.  I've also done tiny edits to the blogs format to hopefully make it read and look a bit smoother.

I've written a new short story featuring Bizz, the main character from "Jita".  This one is entitled "Wholesale" and its all about market PvP once again.  I thoroughly enjoy Bizz as a character and he is a smooth thrill to write.  It is not a long story but hopefully it will be enjoyable and satiate the appetite of those who liked Jita so much.  I expect to write about him fairly regularly from this point on as part of my at least one monthly fiction piece effort.

I also have a larger project that is slowly winding its way together   It is a very different track for me creatively and I am hopeful about the end once I can submit it for reader consumption.

On my right side bar I've added a few more subjects under writings.  The four topics are my Eve fiction writings, my gizoogled patch notes, my non-technical guides and the last is my new project, Origin of a Spaceship.

Origin of a Spaceship started on a idea that swirled around my head when they were discussing the Laser Raven on the splash page of the launcher announcing the Dust 514 merger with Eve.  It got called a Laven and my subconcious bubbled and gurgled until to my surprise my little observation of the Laven worked its way to the surface.

I was amused.  It may be sad or pathetic when I can amuse myself with the things I write but sometimes its happens.  I was very amused by the concept of the Laven as viewed through the eyes of a naturalist   I thought of a few other possibilities but nothing came to light until someone commented on a Discophoon.  It just worked for me and since that point a few other topics have wandered to the surface. I see it as a potential long term project that has endless possibilities to amuse me.  I hope others get a bit of a giggle as well.

I don't always want to serious post even when I have them written.  Its to easy to soak into the blogsphere and the metagame of thoughts and opinions and counter thoughts and arguments and move away from the relaxing stuff about the game.  I've never offered anything other then enthusiasm for Eve in the blog. I'm not a news writer.  I don't produce the things that get put on Eve News or the Mittiani.com.  The blog is a mixture of thoughts, daily game life, more thoughts, and whatever bubbles out of my creative mind. I try to keep it mixed up because I feel weird and ranty when I focus on one subject post after post.

I have a new corp mate helping me to try to tighten up the grammar in my stories as well as more eyes to catch the endless sea of typos.  Perhaps I can produce something that will not cause people to accuse me of having English as a fourth or fifth language and move me up to maybe a third. It is a goal.  Improvements a bit a ta time.

And to all my readers thank you for coming along on this ride.  The blog ticked over 100k hits for its lifetime.  Hopefully I will keep you amused even as I keep myself so.

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
