Thanks for the tag, @zmlorenz. I haven’t given an update in a while, so I feel like I owe y’all something.

I have quite a few projects. I’m going to group them by series and then medium. Works marked with an asterisk are tentatively titled.

The Inverted World*

The Marked Child*

The World Mirror* (Series)

Status: Ideation Phase | Genre: Epic Fantasy

I’m still worldbuilding this thing. There’s magic, multiple POV characters. Political conflicts. Climate change. It’s a whole thing. I haven’t decided on the structure yet. There may be a duology of novellas proceeding a series. There may not, but here’s a taste:

Sound split a wood both dark and light. Silence swept a wood both black and white. I found her there. I remember the sound of all the flies buzzing.

Standalone Fiction

Topiary Black

Status: Outlining | Word Count: 4K | Genre: Cyberpunk Thriller

A cryptic post on a deep-web forum leads an agoraphobic computer specialist into a web of intrigue, crime, and terror. Before long, she’s put on the shortlist for a mysterious game referred to as Topiary Black, the nature of which begins to unravel her understanding of the world as she knows it.

The Call of the World or: A Godless Man in Purgatory

Status: Serial Release (Drafting Part 5) | Genre: Weird Fiction

Somewhere, there is an island. On it, there is a man. And he cannot leave.

Deerfield Run

Status: Ideation Phase | Genre: Dystopian Sci-Fi

No one wanders into the barrens where once we grew corn and wheat, and the suburban sprawl stretched from one horizon to the next. Excepting the runners. No sensible souls cross the cordons, anyhow. There’s a quiet out there. You can hear it in the steady weaving of trumpet vines up the siding of a hundred empty houses. In the patter of windswept leaves across deserted baseball diamonds, bursting with wild grass and sunken with cottontail warrens. It’s the quiet of the steady progression of nature, reclaiming order from chaos. It’s the sound of humanity in retrograde.

And—there’s something else. The runners say it’s old. They say it’s been sleeping, alone out there, before all the clapboards and eaves of our derelict homes went to rot. Before the trees so kindly fell before the axes of the men who built them. Before any of them sprouted, they say. When night falls, and the antediluvian dark smothers the barrens, they say you can hear it in the quiet of Cascadia. The hum. The stirring of a primordial mind beginning to wake.

Hunters of Salt Station

Status: Ideation Phase | Genre: Historical Fiction, Western

A western-style piece that takes place in Canada.

Compilations, Short Stories, Podcasts, and Screenplays

Somnambulant Directives: Dreams from the Outer Dark (an experimental dream journal)

You Have Until Dawn* (Feature Screenplay - Western/Action/Comedy)

Ball Guy’s 90% Catch Rate

I wanted to make this into a fun, IC tutorial of how to Catch Like a Baller™ but that was taking eons and I worried that it was getting to be weighed down too much with unnecessary details, so. Instead, have something kind of bland but that gets to the juicy details way faster. (JK, this meta still turned out long as fuck, my too-much-gene strikes again!)

Ball Guy is a person with many talents, and most of those have pretty much nothing to do with Pokemon or battling. He’s a really good barkeep, amazing at drums, pretty good at bass, and a really great cheerleader. But there is one talent that serves him well in the world of battling, and that’s his uncanny ability to catch just about anything he sets his sights on.

Now, obviously there are exceptions to every rule. Ball Guy’s ability doesn’t translate well or at all to trying to capture Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed Pokemon due to the size disparity, and Legendaries are basically another breed altogether. But for any other Monster, if he wants you, you’re basically his. And though it’s tempting to think that it’s entirely due to his litany of specialized Pokeballs that only he seems to have access to, it’s also due to one simple rule.

His crit ball is INSANE. And he can hit it every time without fail whenever he wants to. 

Whatever your opinion of Pokemon Go, I think we can all agree that the catching mechanic is golden. Landing an Excellent Curveball and catching a Pokemon first try is an amazing feeling, and gives you an idea of the real skill it probably takes to catch Pokemon in-universe. So I’ll be borrowing a lot of those mechanics. 

Having the best chance at catching Pokemon depends on three variables. Speed, Timing, and Curvature. You want to be able to take the Pokemon off guard so that it’s in the ball before it properly knows what’s going on, and that takes skill because most Pokemon are just as smart as humans, if not more.

Speed is the one that most trainers nail first, and it’s the one we see from Gen 6 onward in the main series. Those crits resemble fastballs in baseball, and are usually accompanied by a high pitched whistle. It’s straightforward enough, but not easy and takes a lot of practice to pull off. That’s why in a lot of games, you don’t start seeing it until you’ve caught a few dozen Pokemon already. Your trainer’s skill is improving as time goes on and their pitches get faster.

Next up is timing. A lot like a boxing match, knowing when is the best time to throw a Pokeball comes down to head games a lot of the time. If you do it straight away as soon as a Pokemon appears, it will still be on edge from encountering you. If you wait too late, it’ll successfully size you up and be able to anticipate a pitch before you throw it. (While in P:GO the timing resets every few seconds, I hc that you really only get one shot at it in-universe.) 

Ball Guy usually finds that the perfect moment to throw a Pokeball goes by his pattern of breathing. In, out, in, out, in, throw. It’s just long enough that the Pokemon has time to settle down a bit, but quick enough that they’re not super wary about what he’s scheming. 

Last, and perhaps most fun of all, is dem CURVES! And boy is he great at dishing them out. I won’t get into the specifics, but there’s tutorials about throwing curveballs in baseball all over the internet, and I feel like a lot of that could probably carry over to throwing Pokeballs. He’s ambidextrous and can curve balls horizontally in both directions and also from the top down. 

You want the Pokemon to assume that you missed them because, “Kek, silly human, that’s like 45 degrees to my left, wait what--�� and they’re sucked in just like that. This technique is so advanced, he actually won’t teach it to kids under the age of 15 because it can legitimately ruin their developing muscles for life. It puts that much stress on your wrist.

Because he’s been practicing these throws since he was a child, throwing out crit balls of this magnitude is basically just muscle memory for him now. Not only does he have access to basically every specialized ball in every region, he also can throw out crits on every try, and his personal brand of “crit ball” is three times as potent as the kids you play as in game.

So yeah, as I said, if you’re a Pokemon and he wants you, you’re basically as good as his.

Can we add you on P:GO?

You could, but it already takes all of my mental capacity to remember to send back gifts to my close friends, and even then I forget and they get after me
