The State of Gibberish
Keepin’ this one brief today everyone, I feel like I just wrote the September update so IDK how this keeps happening. Blackpage is done, I’ve got some exciting new ideas I’m looking forward to bring you!
What You Missed
Let’s dive right in!
LIVESTREAMS
Find the Blackpage Debrief - This was a great stream, I enjoyed it at least. If you read Find the Blackpage, and especially if you read it and found yourself scratching your head at the end, its a good companion to the story. The story took twists and turns I wasn’t prepared for, as serials tend to do. I’m very proud of it and I’m also very happy it’s done!
FLASH FICTION FRIDAY
Weekly prompts keep on dropping, we’re steaming strong into Q4! Check the prompts out at the Prompt Index page here and the stories shared every week!
🔒DEV DIARY
My weekly Dev Diary posts and occasional Interstitials continue, and especially they continue to help me. Plans are forming for 2026, so if you’d like to see them, consider a Paid Subscription (paid or earned by referrals!) will give you access to the Dev Diary if you’d like to see what’s coming!
FICTION
Find The Blackpage has concluded! Check out the index linked here!
What Is Coming?
As promised, now that Blackpage is done work is continuing with
to go deeper into a story we are devising!I’ve promised to get an installment out in my alt history series, Wolves of the Great War, the first installment of which you can check out HERE.
Just last night I was struck by a flash fiction idea I might try to write for Halloween but I’m making no promises on that. Most of my effort now will be focused on bringing 2025 in for landing and getting ready for 2026!
The Paywallening
The inexorable icewall of paid content marches forward through time at it’s new accelerated pace! Everything from February 2024 and earlier has already gone behind a paywall as of publication of this post. Check out the previous update to see the stories that have gone behind the wall!

Fiction
Dust To Dust - This is a Surveyor Corps Story set in the Sandbox Earth Universe. We follow the Survey Ship Interpolator as it explores the third planet of the Rouge system to check in on a research expedition that has yielded some troubling results.
