The title is meaningless. And, for the most part, so is this thread. I'm mostly making this as a way to keep track of my stuff. I frequently find myself going looking for something I've written and having a mildly tricky time finding it (still worlds better than the mothership, though!) So anyway, below is a sortable table of everything I've written here, except for the weird stuff I've buried in other threads and mostly forgotten about.

ahaha we should probably edit breaking form and put it up for vote one of these decades eh eh [cries]

Oh, this reminds me. For the collab pieces, (Breaking Form, Between Two Worlds, and Here, There Be Monsters) I included only my own word count. However, as I just noticed, I've apparently taken credit for all of Ravnica: Chain of Events, something I should rectify. At some point...

I have to ask whether Deker, Spectre, and Hobbs is really that long or whether you've piggybacked that word count off of Dead Man 'Walking (which I believe is the story they watched?)?

It's the word count of both combined. I had no easy way to only count their comments (and the host segments, of course.)

Name | Word Count
Deker, Spectre, and Hob|5178
Dead Man 'Walking|3053
Total after subtraction|2125

Seems pretty straightforward to me

Math was never my strong suit...

That's quite the bibliography, Raven! I hope that seeing all that great work compiled into a list gives you a real sense of pride -- it ought to.

So here's an interesting and potentially disturbing thing: I can't find "Mel Odrum's Attic" in the forum. I have a direct link to it above that works, and I can find it via a search, but unless I've just missed it several times, it does not appear to be in the list of past threads. I posted the story on June 7th, and the last post was apparently made on July 16th, but I can't find it by looking down the list of threads.

This makes me wonder what else might be missing...

Also, I just caught a mistake in my table. "The Butcher's Cleaver" was posted on May 11th, 2013, not May 5th. I am deeply regretful of my error. Had I not caught and rectified this, you may never have known that the poem "Tainted Sigil" was written between "Allo's Fortnight" and "The Butcher's Cleaver," rather than after them both.

Whew, that was a close one!

That is very odd indeed.

I bumped the thread, and, suddenly, it reappeared.

Very, very odd...

Thanks, though I'm less concerned about poor Mel than I am what other threads might simply vanish. But like I said, it was still "there," it had just gone all Claude Rains on us.

Yeah someone should probably report this as a bug actually.

It might be too late at this point.

Also I have no idea how soft-deleted posts effect a thread's listing in the forums.

I had considered that, that maybe someone had posted a final post, then soft-deleted it. But I literally looked through every thread and didn't see it. If a soft delete were to somehow make a thread invisible...that has some pretty bad connotations...
