My Books/WIPs:

Throne of Vengeance (ToV):

Throne of Vengeance is now available for purchase!!! 👇

Throne of Vengeance: Volume 1

"Oh, but temptation is the wildest intoxication of them all."

Throne of Vengeance is a 2-volume high fantasy narrative following the protagonist, Alan, and his reflections on his inevitable downfall as he becomes entangled in the political and magical conspiracies set out to assassinate the dragon queen, Von Doro. Volume 1 acts as his humble beginnings and showcases how he became so involved with the entire group of thieves, decorated-heroes-turned-mass-murderous-villains, and the 'prince' of their kingdom, as well as plants the seeds of his eventual spiral downwards. Volume 2 showcases the consequences of all his early mistakes and what it means to become no better than the villain he sought to eradicate.

ToV Main Cast: Alan, Caramel, Von Doro, Hilbert, Morreial, Cara, Markum ja, Jervee Iyzela, Jervee Revenold, Amara, Pietro

LotF Series:

"Beauty is not so artificial than it would only exist in one's exterior, but especially not his. For when I say all the gold in the Singer Palace paled in comparison to the only one that fluttered, one gaze into those divine eyes, and you too would be awestruck at how such gentle loveliness could exist."

The LotF Series is the spin-off series to ToV, following the next generation-- the children of the main cast-- as they enter this new age of supposed peace. CoS: After the young Evan accidentally becomes an accomplice to a horrific crime, he becomes the scapegoat to a ruthless conviction, that too, at the hands of his own parents. Upon his return to society, the story follows his journey in navigating strained family dynamics and the burdens of trauma he is forced to conceal. GotN: Reveal in future... EoJ: Reveal in future... MotT: Reveal in future... SoC: Reveal in future... LotF: Reveal in future...

LoTF Main Cast: Evan, Elenfa, Fawn, Alan, Caramel, Cara, Morreial, Faer, Qatya, Aiyana, Bimyllis, Noctem, Riyzela, Raheer, Donovan, Nyla, the skeletons, Heen, Yozar, Gama, Boaar, Erier, Kehm, Nain

CoE:

"Oh. I'm honoured. But bowing isn't how you show me your devotion... Sacrifice is."

She's still very much in the drafts right now, but the CoE is a spin-off to the LotF series, set in the world of Elayza 5 years post-SoC war. It's a pirate-mythology story following 3 main characters and 2 separate storylines that eventually converge when divine forces begin interfering with mortal battles. There are 7 books planned for this series, all of which I have already made covers for and plots I have already outlined. Oopsies lmao.

Main Cast: F'dryx, Boor, Sanre, Qatya, Telgin, Yern, Morohav, Yozar, Evan, Faer, Inqa

TIS:

"Roy has attacked our esteem--our honour. And now, they will learn. Roy will fall."

I've been pretty vague about this one, mainly because it's also in the drafts for now, but the TIS is a high political fantasy mystery series following the kingdom of Liyana, its rise to becoming the superpower nation of the world of Inkarnyus, its bloody role in both the first Inkarnyus wars, and its inevitable role in starting the second.

Main Cast: Naliya Luceras, Kiamu TIvan, Selven Sarcony, Blaire Wynnen, Amaka Luceras, Zeena Luceras, Shadow, Fiona Desai, Ashley Valencia, Vrankensini Stein, Prince James, Alexander Marine, Jade Esterion, The One

AoNaS:

Also currently in the drafts, but the AoNaS is unique in how its my only middle-grade series. It follows the twin Ghotra sisters as they find themselves transported into an abstract, illlusionary world with mysterious powers. In order to return back to life as they know it, they have to discover the original hosts for these abilities, but things don't go as planned when they realize their new powers have made them the target to the dictator of this new world. Honestly, this is one of the more lighthearted, for gaffs, stories I've written. The narrator is hilariously theatrical. The villains are whole comic book characters. The twin sisters are constantly bickering. Its so early 2010s, I love it.

Main Cast: Neha Ghotra, Serina Ghotra, Forys, Zebratron (yes... i know LMAO), Typhareus, Octopious (I'm not even joking with these names), Squally, Therysea

｡ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ｡

I hope you enjoy this masterpost! Enjoy the blog! Enjoy the wips! Enjoy the vibes! If you have any questions, leave a comment, post in the ToV community, or @ me!

Happy Writing!

~My liege the coffers are low, I fear that we will not last until the next payment. Prithee spare us a coin or two?~

Examples of my writing can be found here, here and here.

Above is a summary of what I offer, please see below the cut for further information:

It costs £2.50 for a short prompt which may be up to 500 words.

After that £5.50 for every 500 words. For example, it’s £5.50 for 500 words, £11.00 for 1000 words, £16.50 for 1,500 words, £22.50 for 2,000 words and so on.

This rate will continue up until 10,000 words which is my limit. If you want anything over that then you will have to pay a doubled rate of £11.00 per 500 words, e.g. it’s £110.00 for 10,000 words, if you want an extra 1000 words then your final total will be £132.00.

Additionally, if you requested, for example, 500 words for £5.50 but decided that you would like an extra 200 words then it’s £1.50 per 100 words, bringing your final total to £8.50 for 700 words.

I’m not overly comfortable writing NSFW pieces, if what you request is only mildly sexual/ suggestive then you can pay the normal rate and I will write it. However, if you insist on an NSFW piece then you will pay a doubled rate right from the get-go, e.g. £11.00 per 500 words. The word limit for NSFW pieces is capped at 1,500 words.

Additionally, aside from my hard NOs, I have the right to refuse an NSFW piece if the request contains things that make me very uncomfortable. However, some things can be discussed. I'm generally against something like non-con/ dub-con but may write a scenario containing specific circumstances.

I also reserve the right to refuse a standard commission if the request contains situations, fandoms, etc, that I am unwilling or uncomfortable writing about.

Furthermore, if I accept a commission and you pay me, only for me to lose inspiration/ motivation and I generally just don’t think I would be able to complete it within an acceptable time frame then I will contact you with my apologies and you will be refunded immediately.

If you would like a commission then please send me an ask (with your username, not anon) with what you want e.g. what price category as well as a summary of what characters/ themes/ plot points you would like included. I will slide into your DMs (or contact you in some other way) to let you know whether I’m expressing interest or denying your request. If the former then you can message me with more details. You can be as in-depth or as vague as you like but if it’s the latter then expect some artistic licence.

Some examples of what you could request might be:

. ‘How would (character/s) react to (thing)’ for £2.50 (works best for stuff I’m familiar with)

. I have a huge list of raw quotes I could use as prompts, you could choose a quote and have me write Reader/ Y/N spit some mad facts.

. Do you want 1000 words of Reader jerking off your favourite transformer for £11.00? Mate I’ve got you covered.

. Perhaps you’re very kind and love me very much so you’ll pay me to write a 5K word chapter for one of the many fic ideas I haven’t started yet. Or pay me to rant about the fictional continent that exists only in my head. One can certainly dream.

Anyhoo, once all the details are down pat and I’m ready to start, you can send me the payment via paypal. For anything that is 1000 words and over I will send you an update when I’m halfway through. The longer the commission, the more updates I’ll send. Any NSFW or original work will not be posted to Tumblr and will be sent to you as a PDF via Gmail. Anything fandom related will be posted (though it will state that it was a commission and your username will be included) unless you specifically state otherwise. Minor edits are free but larger ones start at £1.50 depending on how much you want me to change.

I DO NOT CONSENT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM TO HAVING ANYTHING I WRITE BE FED TO AI.

ANYTHING I WRITE IS MINE, I WROTE IT

Reacting to The Vampire Lestat - Part V (with a bit of spoilers and maybe important quotes?)

Armand!

YAY!

Okay, what the hell is happening?

??????

Seriously, WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?

Am I lost because I'm reading the Brazilian Portuguese version and maybe it's not properly translated?

*Downloads an English PDF copy* Yeah, this isn't much better and it looks like it was poorly transcript.

I'm still not sure I'm following...

Well

Whatever

I still like this anyway?

Also, I can see I'll have to read at least this book twice anyway. Maybe more or even the whole chronicles.

Because since Armand showed up I'm DEVOURING this and I can see myself maybe missing a few details... I'll need to read it slower and savor it in the future. I also assume that knowing more of the lore will give me perspective on a future read.

Armand is never boring.

Still my favorite character. :) Let's hope nothing ever ruins that. :) /hj

Not one Lesmand/Armandstat interaction is wasted tbh, I don't care if they're vibing or hating each other's guts, they're always A MOMENT™.

Let's hope nothing ever ruins that. :) /hj

They also have some pretty valid and intriguing conversations, really.

The impression I get is that they want to stay close, but deep down know it's better not to because they're so messed-up and would be even more messed-up as friends or else (and maybe it's the or at least one of the reasons why they attract each other?), but there's some frustration in that acknowledgement too. Like, doing something because you should is not the same as doing it because you want to and... Well.

I mean, there's more I could say, but this is the short version of how I generally feel about them lol.

Can't wait to see all of this on season 3.

Assad is right, I want Armand to be unhinged too. So glad we're on the same page about all thigs Armand ever and that the spirit of Armand posses Assad on a daily basis so he can play him 100% the way I imagine him. SMILING THROUGH IT ALL, CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS MY LIFE RN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also ready for more Lestat (Armand's version) and finally some Armand (Lestat's version). Let the battle begin. I wonder who will be more insufferable.

Little bit of Armand's back story. :/ I wanna put him in a bubble.

I don't really think I'll be interested in Marius, tbh.

Anyway... He's not here yet.

Gabrielle jumps from roofs like Cat Woman and Armand quickly and silently vanishes from places like Batman. I hope we keep the Gotham-esque vibes of these scenes. I think it's super cool tbh.

I also love seeing Armand talking to people telepathically? Feels so much deeper and kind of poetic, idk. Not to mention is such a cool concept. I hope the show explores more of that.

Also, when he stops blocking his thoughts and let's someone peek at his thoughts it feels intimate? And not necessarily romantic or anything like that, but just like, "hey, this is a little piece of my soul, I'm sharing it with you". Or maybe I'm too romantic and trying to find the beauty in everything lol.

But then he finally speaks out loud and it feels deeper and more meaningful as well? I don't know. Maybe I'm becoming insane.

Lestat went like 3 pages without mentioning Armand's beauty. I'm proud of him.

Nevermind, now he is mentioning it 50 times per sentence. Even more than he did before. It's like he regretted it and it's making up for lost time lmao.

Some of the words Lestat has used to describe Armand so far: beautiful, sublime, ethereal, exquisite, perfect, soft, saint, angel (there's more, but it's been so many synonyms for beautiful I can't remember... still, you get the point). Not to mention comparing him to a Caravaggio and Da Vinci paintings.

I feel like he'll run out of words to describe him pretty soon.

I guess we all feel pretty (not) normal about Armand.

This is also ruining it for me, because if someone doesn't describe me as "irresistibly beautiful" then what is even the point, really...

And it's not like they're a couple or anything, SO??? STOP!!!

They're not lovers, they're not friends, they're not enemies, they're a fourth and more sinister thing that not even them can classify, let alone my mere mortal self.

Anyway, I hope Lestat will be even more annoying describing Louis. He set the bar too high now.

I wonder if Louis appears (for a significant amount of time) on this book.

I hope so, but I don't know.

"But I was so glad it was finished. So glad that we could go on. Yet I held to the bars for a long time just looking at the distant woods, and the dim glow far beyond that the city made upon the lowering clouds. And the grief I felt was not only for the loss of him, it was for Nicki, and for Paris, and for myself." This is sad...

"So let him be your patron saint if you need it" LMFAOOOOOO.

Is Gabrielle wrong, though?

NO, SHE ISN'T!

Just have fun with your immortality instead of going on an uncertain quest to find Marius? Stop being stupid???

You'll probably just find danger or disappointment. Or both.

LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF REASON, LESTAT!

"And the sense of grief came back to me, the realization that we were really going, that it was finished with Nicolas and finished with the Children of Darkness and their leader, and I wouldn't see Paris again, or anything familiar to me, for years and years. And for all my desire to be free, I wanted to weep." So, he finally starts making a life for himself away from his abusive family. Then, he is forcefully turned into a vampire, has to live this double life with mortals, without ever being able to be completely open, honest and have real, deep relationships with them. Later, he turns Gabrielle, Nicki, meets Armand and the other of his kind, but they're all so troubled or with completely different interests... And it's clear as a day that they can't stay together anymore, he's slowly coming to the realization he's losing everything and everyone he knows and will soon be alone again... I'm (not) fine.

Also, this is so BPD-coded of him. He's had these pretty sad and traumatic moments, but he never allowed himself to feel those emotions for too long, he always found stuff to distract himself with, tried to see the "the good side" of things, embrace them, be positive instead etc, but you can only ignore it so much until it becomes such a big problem you can't possibly avoid anymore. And then the emotion hits 9483958345x harder than it would have if you processed things properly and had better coping mechanisms. Like, I get him, but OMG. Get him some vampire therapist.

Btw, Armand feels pretty BPD-coded too.

I also heard somewhere that Armand is a Scorpio?

And Lestat is another BPD Scorpio...

That would explain A LOT actually lmao.

End of "The Vampire Armand" chapter and they're parting ways.

So I guess I'll just rot and die, then?

Or...

...Armand will return in the worst possible way lmao.

I tried to find a gif of 2x05 saying "everything is fine!" to represent how I'm feeling right now, but failed, so consider it done anyway. Everything is (not) fine!

#interview with the vampire #lesmand #armandstat #not sure if this is good btw but i did it once and people interacted with the post so now i feel like i need to keep doing it?#i'm kind of serious about following patterns and hate breaking them so i have to keep this going now but hopefully it's still fun to people

Script-A-"Day" #39: A Sudden Reversal by Nick B

Worlds will be rocked come Night 3

Third place at Final 3 Con's Alliances Script Competition!

Featured characters: Snake Charmer, Mezepheles, Summoner

Fabled characters: Spirit of Ivory

Jinxes:

Plague Doctor / Scarlet Woman: If the Plague Doctor dies [and would grant the ST the Scarlet Woman ability], a living Minion gains the Scarlet Woman ability in addition to their own ability, and learns this.

Plague Doctor / Baron: If the Storyteller gains the Baron ability, up to two players become not-in-play Outsiders.

Summoner / Clockmaker: If the Summoner is in play, the Clockmaker does not receive their information until a Demon is created.

Complexity: Advanced. Recommended for players who can react to an ever-changing situation between snakecharms, summons, and terrifying Outsider deaths.

Database link (find the PDF and JSON for running it there!)

Writeup under the cut!

A Sudden Reversal is all about interpreting and re-interpreting information. Most Townsfolk here, like the Empath, Oracle, and especially the General, have the ability to adapt to the in-play Demon type, good players turning evil, Minion abilities being introduced, or any of the shenanigans that the evil team can get up to. Speaking of, said evil team can leverage the Outsiders to get themselves out of a bind via killing the Plague Doctor or Barber, passing the Demonhood to a Minion or otherwise putting a serious dent into town's information. The Minions and Demons are at the heart of the script — the Summoner, Poisoner, and Vortox mean that true and false information can be toggled on and off at multiple points, while the other Minions play support and ensure that the Townsfolk can't go the distance.

When bagbuilding A Sudden Reversal, make sure you know how your evil team interacts with each other. A Vigormortis might feel a little miffed if it only has a Scarlet Woman on its team (a Minion it can't vigor-kill without fully removing its ability) — make sure evil teams have synergy. Similarly, consider the interactions between good players' abilities, and meet the teams in power level: maybe don't stack the good team with a Flowergirl, Oracle, Philosopher, Empath in a Vigor/Baron game!

Quick note: while the Vortox and Poisoner might not appear to have synergy at first glance, if you put characters like the Snake Charmer, Monk, and Slayer in the bag, the Poisoner suddenly has a bit more to do (since poisoned info-Townsfolk still get Vortoxed info). Even then, the Poisoner can hit the Vortox on one or both of the first two nights, turning off the falsification and throwing off the good team!

Some notes:

Make sure you know how the Clockmaker/Summoner jinx interacts with droison and the Vortox. If the Clockmaker is droisoned on N1 or N3, you can choose to not wake them when they should or vice versa to make it seem like the Summoner might/might not be in play. However, you cannot do this to a sober/healthy Clockmaker in a Vortox game — you have to give (false) information at the correct time.

Refresh yourself on how the Pixie works in a Vortox game! A Vortoxed Pixie sees an out-of-play Townsfolk (maybe something that'll get claimed, like a Demon bluff, to hide the Vortox?) and their "Mad" reminder token goes on an arbitrary player. When that player dies, if the Pixie was mad about being the Townsfolk they saw, they get the ability they saw.

Both 3-star General (the rules-as-written thumb up/thumb neutral/thumb down) and 5-star General (introducing thumb slightly up/down to indicate good/evil slightly winning) work very well here. If you're running 5-star General in Vortox, make sure to��give the General a reading that’s more than 1 star away from the truth (so if the truth is thumb slightly up, give a thumb down or slightly down in Vortox), that way their information is still actionable.

The Monk plays interestingly here as one of the only non-information Townsfolk on the script. It's another reason to explain zero deaths on N2 (the others being Summoner and the Demon being poisoned), and can keep players safe from Vigor-poison and Vortox info falsification.

Remember that the Drunk is an Outsider, so can get true information in a Vortox game!

If the Plague Doctor dies, don’t be too harsh on the good team. When you can, gain a not-in-play ability, and use it in a way that keeps the game fun and interesting while giving the PD something to chew on as they solve for which Minion ability they gave you.

Sidenote: if you give yourself the Baron ability via Plague Doctor, consider only turning one Townsfolk into an Outsider to allow evil to bluff getting turned!

I think that's about everything from me? The evil team on this script is relatively straightforward to run: just make sure to be aware of the relative power levels of different Vigor-killed Minions, and you're all good!

what are your favorite rock biographies, of the ones you’ve read?

My Angie Bowie shirt reacting to David Bowie's death for illustrative reasons. Obviously, it's sad.

Oh well, I'm not well versed in biographies in general. My literary taste doesn't go much in that direction. Starting to read biographies was a somewhat impulsive decision due to curiosity, but I didn't really venture into biographies that weren't related to the Stones or David Bowie, the two subjects that interest me most.

As for that, although it makes me sob and cry and makes me have empathy triggers that I didn't know I had, Backstage Passes: Life on the Wild Side with David Bowie by Angie Bowie was the most memorable biography for me and made me realize a side of him that I never dared to consider before.

Many people have an aversion to Angie simply because David did the same, and because of that, they disregard the things she says. The story she told wasn't just half of his story; it was her story. She lived it and has the right to tell her version and her feelings. I won't even mention the erasure that fans try to make of her in David's life.

Angie, Cynthia Powell (Lennon), Chrissie Shrimpton, Marianne Faithfull, and other ex-girlfriends of famous singers have the right to tell their version of the story and deserve respect. Calling any of them liars for saying bad things about your idols — which are probably real — is ridiculous.

That said, her book is my favorite in that it leaves me simply devastated and heartbroken. I promise you won't be the same after finishing this book. Feel free to message me if you need a PDF to read it, but I encourage you to purchase if you can afford it.

In second place is Keith Richards' book, Life, because I had so much fun reading about his childhood and his grandfather, Gus. Writers' books about Mick Jagger, while good (I like and use them as a source), simply cannot compare to a primary source from someone who was as deeply involved as Keith. Keith focuses on his story, which makes sense, and doesn't really delve into his bandmates' relationships. It is a valuable material tho.

#angie bowie #david bowie #the rolling stones #mick jagger #keith richards #classic rock #old rockstar #rockstar gf #rockstar girlfriend #70s rock #70s music #rock n roll #rocknroll #rock #cynthia powell #cynthia lennon #anon ask #chrissie shrimpton #marianne faithfull

Hiiii, I want to say thank you because thanks to your 18+ games I embracing more that part of myself, learning more concepts and knowing myself more. In my country that's kind of cliche so we don't learn that much until we date someone.

And, I didn't date someone yet!

So, what do you think is healthy to start learning about sexuality?

Hello!

Sounds a bit risky to start learning only when dating someone. I prefer to have my theory studied before exam 😂

Honestly, whatever you feel comfortable and curious learning about is healthy. I don't know about your schools but my highschool had anatomy lessons (unknowingly me and my friend were the ones bringing the posters for the reproductive organs anatomy lesson to the class, they were like rolled so we didn't see what we carried but once the teacher came and he hang it in the class we were like... MAN! This is why you wanted girls to carry the heavy posters? Because guys would get bullied from their mates after this reveal? 🤣 Shitty masculine culture, really).

And there is plenty of material online but I genuinely recommend learning from like actual books written by professionals, not from TikTok. Anatomy is a good start and it gives a great perspective.

I have several PDF format books in English on topic of anatomy and masturbation for all genders so if you ever feel like in need of this, you can just contact me through email, I'll share.

In general, it's healthy to start with your own body, find out how it reacts, what you like and dislike, what excites you, what's a mood killer...

And you know... these discoveries will usually take you further. And you'll see what you find. It's not like there's just one correct way of exploring your own sexuality. You do you. What feels most comfortable for you. You can take it slow. Or you can binge watch porn in one weekend simply to come to a conclusion it's really unrealistic but the editing and special effects teams are doing their best. 😂

So yeah! Feel free to let me know if you want some literature from me.

These are the titles I currently have available.

I hope I have answered your question thoroughly enough 😂

Dr Ron and Mrs Hepplethwaite Try To Save the World - A Rel1ct Playthrough

The Game:

The Players:

Chris and Morgan (who is the 'I' in this post)

~~~

What follows is a duo playthrough of BrewistTableTopGames' horror game, Rel1ct. This game is intended to be played alone but has optional variant rules for playing as a pair, which we used. Our results are probably not typical - but we had a ton of fun!

The game requires a standard deck of playing cards, one D6 for each player, a notebook/pen to respond to prompts, and the Rel1ct PDF. Players draw cards to determine which challenge they encounter from the Rel1ct PDF, roll to see how well their characters do, and use those combined results as a writing prompt to record how their characters reacted and felt.

The Rel1ct PDF suggests writing a few sentences for each prompt. Chris and I wrote freely (sometimes for 10 minutes) until we reached the final stage of the game, the Entity in Section Three. What follows is the internal monologues of two characters who were uniquely unqualified for this particular quest.

I have written and presented our writing in the same order that Chris and I read them aloud to each other.

BEWARE: This playthrough involves spoilers for the writing prompts in Rel1ct. I got a great deal of joy going into this adventure blind - as you'll see, our characters weren't really suited for the task, but I think we generated quite an interesting narrative because of it!

If you're interesting in playing this game, consider running your own playthrough before reading this one.

~~~

The Characters:

Chris is playing a military astrologist named Dr. James Ron Walker Jr.

Morgan is playing a concerned mother and pillar of the local community, Mrs. Viola Hepplethwaite.

~~~

The Hopes and Trepidations

At the start of the game, characters generate 6 hopes/trepidations that will be used during gameplay. We alternated rolling and reading aloud - and quickly realised we were making characters with very different perspectives on life.

Dr. James: I fear there will be no world left for the children.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope that my best friend, Mrs. Margaret Thursgood, is alright. That glow on the hillside is awfully near her house and we were to play bridge together this coming Friday.

Dr. James: I hope that when my children are older, they will call me. That is, if their mother hasn't poisoned them against me.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope the village survives. The village fete is next week and I was so looking forward to the apple-dunking stand.

Dr. James: I fear that my hypothesis of universal obliteration is correct.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope I have time to bake next week. It has been an age since I last cooked cinnamon buns, and I do miss their sweetness.

Dr. James: I hope the mother of my children and her Italian lover drown on one of their ridiculous swingers' cruises.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope that my advertisment in the paper for a new bicycle gets seen. My current one is so fiddly on the chain.

Dr. James: I fear that all my training as an elite military astrologer will not be enough to save mankind.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope darling Eustace gets over his fear of frogs. It would be lovely to be able to go for family picnics at the pond again.

Dr. James: I fear the antipsychotics the military doctor prescribed are something far more sinister.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope this unworldly entity doesn't interfere with the bi-annual town planning meetings. We were so close to getting that new community herb garden last time.

Totals:

Dr. James: 4 trepidations, 2 hopes

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: 6 hopes (she fears nothing, and her personality has sufferd greatly as a result)

~~~

Part One: Setting Out (Characters describe their initial reactions to the forest. Afterwards, I segue immediately into the drawing and resolving of encounters)

Mrs: Hepplethwaite: I am so relieved to have made the formal acquaintence of Dr Ron, whose weekly horoscopes I am always certain to read in the local paper. He breathes quite heavily, though, and as we make our way through this dark and frankly freezing cold forest, I am worried something may hear us. They say a comet has landed on the hillside. If darling Eustace is to have a chance at attending Eton this fall, I must do something about this unearthly invader.

Dr. James: I feel that the forest was designed for men. I think Mrs. Hepplethwaite is uniquely unsuited for this environment, and I do not know why she has come. I do not see the forest; I see only the potential for ambush.

I smell Mrs. Hepplethwaite. It stirs no reaction, but it is distinct.

[8 Clubs]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: That awful breathing wasn't Dr. Ron after all - it was a rash of dreadful lesions! They burst forth across our skins so swifly, so silently, that we made some progress through the forest before I realised the single set of straining lungs had turned into a chorus!

How awful! Seeing my own skin turn against me, feeling my own pores pant and pull at the humid vapours of this terrible night, I realised things would never again be the same. It matters not if this terrible foe from the stars interferes with the town planning meeting. Even if we survive and get a new community herb garden and everything else we've ever dreamt of, I know there are forced from beyond the known universe that can turn one's very skin against one's self.

(Mrs. Hepplethwaite loses 1 Hope)

Dr. James: The sense of breathing pustules is strange. At first I believed it to be a side effect of the medication that strange military doctor gave me. To take my mind off the discomfort, I thought of the day I would once again see John and Peace. It did not take much analysis to realise perhaps the distance between us, whilst stripping me of my purpose as a man, might be best for them. It would be a shame for them to see me so disfigured by alien forces.

(Dr. James loses 1 Hope)

[6 Hearts]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: We have definitely travelled through this part of the wood before. Dr. Ron ripped his jacket on the bushes and - look there, just ahead of us! The very same scrap of paisley wool pulled from his rather odd-looking attire.

I myself am certain that is the stone I broke my sensible but elevated heeled shoes upon not ten minutes prior. If there were more light, or if I was less tired, I would look for it.

The answer quickly came to me - break the time cyle by forcing new events to occur. I requested that Dr. Ron tell my horoscope, as the incursion of the terrible space entity prevented the Sunday paper - and his esteemed horoscope - from being published this week.

Upon hearing my request, which had not been made during our previous trek through this portion of time, Dr. Ron made the most incredible noise in the back of his throat. He said we didn't have time to marvel over the intricacies of Scorpio with Mars ascending just now. I agreed there was wisdom in this observation and - time loop defeated - we carried on.

Dr. James: Is this deja vu? Am I stuck in a time loop? Or has this insane woman been waxing on like a haunted Scrabble set for a hundred years?

The sun and stars spin as the universe expands, grinding to a stop as the rotation of the Earth slows to a halt. She natters on still. Is she talked to me? The stars are so far away and their lights are dying now. Does she think I am actually listening, or does she know I am trying to tune her out?

All time has run out. If she has a fall, I will leave her.

Oh, that strange time issue seems to have passed. I will try not to think about the aeons that passed, unless the effect returns.

[King Diamonds]

Dr. James: What is man? I am a shell, a husk capable of knowing it is empty and nothing more. But.. but wait! If I am empty, where is the red coming from?

The stars feel like home as I lie on this alien world, surrounded by forgotten trees, the choes of self and Mrs. bloody Hepplethwaite.

There.

A shred of what was, an angry woman fully dressed on a nudist beach. I know she is mad at me but I know not what 'me' is. I hope she is happier now than she was in that moment.

I must have hit my head when I fell. I think I'll be OK in a bit.

(Dr. James loses 1 Hope)

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: We were aiding on another up a steep portion of the forest floor, which we could not find a way around, when it happened. Dr. Ron was above me, hand extended, backlit by an unearthly glod that poured down from the accursed hilltop - and I realised I could not remember the face of my darling Eustace.

The realisation was so complete and upon me so entirely that I gasped aloud, released Dr. Ron's hand, and fell to the ground with my arms clasped about my head. It mattered not that twigs tore my bodice and stones ripped through my skirts - the foul entity atop the hill had stolen the face of my son!

Well, I don't mind saying that I wept. I wept, and the tears looked red in the celestial flow pouring from the night sky, but still I wept.

I remained quite inconsolable until my gaze happened upon a little frog clinging to the trunk of a nearby tree. It seemed to look at me, black eyes large and glassy, resplendant with the incandescent fogs sweeping down from the skies. In a moment, I remembered our family picnics at the pond, and how poor Eustance has always been so scared of the very creature staring back at me now.

In a moment, my son's face returned to me, bursting through my mind like a sparkler: narrow, handsome, slicked back hair and starched collar. Oh, Eustace. I will defeat this entity. I will ensure you attend Eton this fall. Perhaps we will even picnic at the pond again.

Stranger things have happened.

[5 Clubs]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: We had been walking together, heads down, eyes dark, for so long without speaking that when the droning stared up, I thought it was Dr. Ron humming to himself. I joined in, hoping to rouse our spirits, but the hum grew louder and louder.

I was just beginning to realise the noise was not emanating from the esteemed doctor at all when a thousand tiny objects pelted at us from above.

They darted from the trees, fromt he bushes, from the stars themselves - tiny insects! I screamed, terrible sound ripping through the hillside, but stopped myself when the awful things began flying into my mouth!

When the pain started, I realised they were digging into my flesh. Burrowing down, lodging themselves under my flesh.

I screamed and screamed. I furrowed my own face with my fingernails, the pain was so great. I screamed so long and so hard that I don't think my vocal cords will ever work right again. Forevermore, I will only ever taste my own blood weeping from wounds inside my cheeks and tongue, and the hard bodies of alien bugs crushed against my gnashing teeth...

(Mrs. Hepplethwaiate loses 1 Hope)

Dr. James: Call me old-fashioned, but I hate to see a woman crying blood. There's just something about it.

After we had recovered, we climbed on. It was dusk when the constant out-loud novelisation of our journey by one Mrs. Hepplethwaite attracted a swarm of iridescent bugs.

Whilst clearly otherwordly, the little fuckers seemed to prefer the taste of a woman. I don't blame them. Having tried both in a black market delicatessen during my third tour of combat, I can confirm categorically that the fairer sex are indee-

My she's really struggling with those bugs.

[Queen Clubs]

Dr. James: Before my civilised forebrain had begun to comprehend the creature that burst from the underbrush, my highly toned, military hindbrain had asessed the situation. Dropping to one knee and drawing my revolver from my ankle holster, I put 6 rounds into the crooked remnant of a deer.

One hit it between the eyes.

Another also between the eyes.

The third was an inch off target, which I corrected for by putting Bullets Four and Five squarely between the eyes.

As the sixth shot hit the beast between the eyes, I had only one thought: 'Why is it so dry?' Stretched thin and bleached by the sun, the skin of the deer appeared to be a suit worn by something else entirely, to which it was hopelessly ill-fitting.

Whilst the monster's momentum carried it to my feet, I did not know fear until I saw its component parts shatter and skitter up a nearby tree. Looking down at the weapon in my hand, I saw the first had beome rusted, the second old and leathered.

I dropped the gun and put my hand in my pocket. Best not to let Mrs. Hepplethwaite worry.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The bugs quite took it out of me, so when some kind of four-legged monstrocity thundered out of the brush toward us, I positively threw myself upwards and outwards, away from harm's reach.

Oh, Eustace, I am so glad you weren't there to see me climb that tree. The speed, the grace - you would have thought I spent all my spare moments leaping arboreal distances like some kind of Tarzan.

From my position atop a sturdy limb, I could just make out the events occuring below. Some kind of stag had charged us, though the poor creature had been rendered horribly twisted by the influence of the entity. Its mouth and jaws were all wrong.

Oh Eustace, no hunter would ever have sought this prize, nor mounted its head upon the wall!

I must say, Dr. Ron demonstrated the most peculiar - andyet effective - methods of dealing with this monstrous stag. He was all pinwheeling arms and kicking legs, knees and feet achieving heights that nearly rivalled that of the animal.

I know not how he dispatched the terrible creature, only that we survived. I shudder to think what may await us at the summit of this hill.

~~~

The Top of the Hill (character describe their emotions as they approach the Entity, then the Entity itself)

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The village was right: whatever this creature is, it arrived on a comet. The entire top of the hillside had been cleaved away. We arrived at last, not at a summit but in a cratered valley.

It is difficult to find words to describe the unearhtly entity that crouched there upon its rocky perch. There were tentacles, surely, and a beak that remsembled that of a squid's, but also I seemed to discern through gusts of terrible smoke the beady eyes of a frog and also feathers of a sort.

Truth be told, I was not certain how far I could trust what I was seeing. The pain of the burrowing insects was still very much with me, as was the horror of that moment in which I could not remember the face of my son. However awful these sensations, it seemed to me that something else settled over our little party as Dr. Ron and I created a burning ridge and descended toward the Being From The Stars: some foul influence that crowded my mind with evil chittering, that brushed against the inside of my skull and left slimy terror in its wake.

Dr. James: The crest of the hill brought with it a view of the sun, vast and indomitable: a sphere that filled the sky, its surface breathing boils that erupted into solar flares which, in turn, scattered iridescent swarms of light.

Its heat, drying these old soldier's eyes to pinholes.

I miss my gun, though I knew any bullet would take too long to reach this celestial monstrosity.

Solaris. Man's oldest foe.

[10 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The creature opened its terrible beak and - seeming to peer directly into my soul as it id so - belched. The fumes were acidic and unbearably hot, as if spewed from the depths of Hell itself. As I coughed and hacked, feeling I must go blind or die, an odd thought occurred: I would never play bridge with my good friend Margaret again, for as a resident of this very hillside, she is surel dead.

(Mrs. Hepplethwaite loses 1 Hope)

Dr. James: Colours broke upon me like a prism. In the crater below us, an unspeakable mess croaked in alien mockery. I no longer fear the antipsychotic medications prescribed to me are no longer worked. I have never been saner.

(Dr. James loses 1 Trepidation)

[King Spades]

Dr. James: A second nebulonic ejaculation of energies, this time a projected wave that missed me completely. Unfortunately, it hit Mrs. Hepplethwaite.

(Dr. James loses 1 Trepidation)

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The colours! The colours! The colours within the eyes of this foul demon! No wonder Eustace fears the frog so - they are terrible to behold!

(Mrs. Hepplethwaite loses 1 Hope)

[8 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The gnawing of insects was nothing compared to the humming of this Being From The Stars. My flesh seemed to shiver, as if it were all of a piece, and then runnel and drip from my bones. Oh Eustace! Oh Eton!

(Mrs. Hepplethwaite loses 1 Hope)

Dr. James: Pulsating like the heart of a neutron star, humanity's amphibian foe retched and groaned, vomiting out microwaves that I'm sure - had I not been trained by the British army and the Stargazer's Society - would have affected me in the same way they appeared to affect Mrs. Hepplethwaite. That old girl sure can take a hammering.

[7 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The shriek that emanated from the Alien Being rivalled my own in the forest, when th bugs burrowed beneath my skin. I am certain one of my eardrums burst, for I could feel blood running down the side of my neck.

Dr. James: The thought occurs to me now, in this my final hour (and Mrs. Hepplethwaite's final minute), that, in strange irony, my theory of universal obliteration was correct.

At that thougt, the beast screamed. Perhaps I had unwittingly projected my own waves, but not waves of aggression - waves of positive energies!

By God, if it turns out Sandra's hippy bullshit was right...

(Dr. James loses 1 Tredpidaton)

[9 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: In the moments after its scream, silence poured forth: a silence more awful than everything that had gone before. Then the air was full of sound and movement - more insects!

They poured out of the Alien Being with disgusting, deadly grace. Not wanting to submit myself to these creatures again, I threw myself to the ground and covered myself with all the ash and burnt detritus I could manage. Oh, how glad I was that only poor Dr. Ron was there to see me in my fallen state - but the desperate act appeared to work.

Some part of myself (smell, perhaps? though I had sprinkled myself liberally with Eau de la Ode before leaving the house on this awful quest, and could not possibly have smelled) had been disguised. The awful young of the Being From Space, left me in peace.

Dr. James: Centering myself, using the breathing technique Sandra's unqualified life coach tried to teach me, I took a deep breath. Opening my eye a moment later, I saw before me the pawn of a billion hungry geometries spiralling for domination of my world. My children's world.

'For Peace!' I yellowed, the sheer force of my vibe stripping the anomaly's young from their many polyhedral bones.

'For John!' I screamed, floating four inches off the floor.

(Dr. James loses 1 Trepidation)

[5 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The creature, perhaps incensed by the thwarting of its foul brood, raised its tentacles. I shivered backwards but - too late - the Being let all its protrusions drop at the same time.

The shockwave swept through my bones, through my poor melted flesh. A haze of red drifted over my vision and, turning to Dr. Ron, I could see in his visage what must be occurring upon my own: white eyes turned red, blood flowing freely.

Dr. James: Countering my power with its own, the creature struck me down. What harmful thoughts must it have conjured to strike at me with such force, such negativity?

My eyes, my eyes, the balls of my eyes are exploded. It is much harder now to hold on to those happy thoughts.

[2 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: Why did we come here? Something about Eton, about my son. Why, it is only a jelly, a squealing space jelly, and yet it will surely be the end of us all.

Dr. James: What do you even do in this situation? I'd like to go home, but without my eyes, how will I find the way?

[4 Spades]

Dr. James: Still blind, an unearthly noise fills the air. Am I to smell my way home?

Shit. Why am I looking for my eyes? Remember your training, soldier. They trained you for this.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: Luckily, I was deafened in one ear or else the music the Space Being wrought using the winds would surely have driven me mad. Its tentacles pluck at the air, and oh how its beak snaps...

[3 Spades]

Dr. James: One last happy thought. Something to peel back the abyss. The happiest day of my life.

The birth of my son.

Sandra wanted to call him 'Peace', but I convinced her we could call the next one 'Peace'. I did not want a second child, nor did I want her to rion it like she ruined everything else.

The negativity was exactly the window my foe needed. I know not by what means I was made dead, only this: If Pedro's death is hald this bad, there may yet be a God.

(Dr. James loses a Hope when he has no more. He dies.)

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: Dr. Ron has fallen. I don't know why he doesn't get up. The... thing was looking at him before he fell. Now it is turning toward me, and I dare not meet its froggy gaze.

I'm gonna delete this post later, but thought I'd put out a general Last Call in case any of my followers/mutuals wanted to join the beta reader group for my WIP series The Skeleton King over in the Wyngspan Labs discord.

Here's a temporary link to the PDF of the teaser I sent the existing group; it's about 6500 words long, and is a pretty good sample of what the rest will be like.

If you're interested, I'll put the Q&A I wrote for the beta readers below a Read More here, so you can know what you'd be getting into:

WHAT IS SKELETON KING?

Skeleton King is a novel* that I (Ross) have been writing on and off for over 10 years now, which began as a comedy serial I was writing for my college's writing club. This current iteration is the 4th draft.

*As of this draft, Skeleton King is no longer one novel, but a series of 5 short novels/novellas, each of which is stylized as an "Act" of a 5-act Shakespearean tragedy. This 5-act structure was present in the 2020 draft, but I hadn't yet accepted that it should probably be split into separate volumes.

CAN I READ THE PREVIOUS DRAFTS?

I'll probably post snippets from the 2020 draft when they become relevant, or if it would be funny to do so. The others will be buried with me.

WHAT IS A "SUB-ACT"?

Skeleton King riffs on story structure pretty explicitly throughout. Each book in the series is an "Act," but each book also has a traditional Act structure within it; most have 3 acts, one has 2, and one has 5. I'm not sure what to call these colloquially, because "chapter" feels insufficient but "act" is confusing. IMO it's easier to understand within the books themselves, because they're labeled like "Act I-1, Act I-2, Act I-3; Act II-1," etc

SO WHAT'S THIS BOOK ABOUT ANYWAY?

Coming up with a good elevator pitch for this book is literally the hardest part, and I'll be seeking guidance on that. On the surface, it's a coming-of-age road trip dramedy about four very strange high school boys, set in 2010, that gradually becomes a supernatural action-comedy; under the hood, it's an unhinged post-post-ironic Story About Stories that is trying to do way too much at once, but that information overload is, itself, one of the most important themes.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN INFLUENCES?

I think listing some of the books that have left the biggest impact on SK's style/tone will be helpful for giving people a yardstick to judge if it's accomplishing its goals. This list is incomplete, and in no particular order:

• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams • Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke • House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski • A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket • Moby-Dick by Herman Melville • Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood • Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett • A whole lot of books by Ursula K LeGuin • A whole lot of books by Kurt Vonnegut

If you put all of those books in a blender and then reassembled them into a love/hate letter addressed to the ghosts of Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung, you would get Skeleton King.

WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO GET OUT OF THIS?

• Motivation to finally finish the series, because I work best when I have an audience • Knowledge of what's working and what isn't, so please be honest about how you react to things, good or bad • A first pass at sensitivity reading. Due to its setting, race, class, and queerness come up a decent amount in these books; I am trying to be thoughtful in how I address these subjects, but if I overstep, I'd much rather be cautioned/corrected by readers I trust before the wider internet gets their hands on it. • The ego boost of watching a scene/joke land as I intended it to • The all-important unspoken corrective of watching a scene/joke I thought would hit flop instead

IS THIS "ROSCOE WATSON" GUY SUPPOSED TO BE YOU?

Roscoe is neither a self-insert nor not a self-insert, but a secret third thing. It's complicated, keep reading.

The most I'll say is that a lot of his interests and mannerisms are based on a teenage me, but his life and upbringing are very different from mine.

THIS IS A HOMESTUCK THING, ISN'T IT?

I only read Homestuck very recently, and did so because people who read earlier drafts of Skeleton King kept pointing out the existing similarities to me. I would like to think that Skeleton King is less obnoxious than Homestuck, but both are definitely engaged in a similar kind of metatextual ADHD maximalism.

DO YOU ACTUALLY LIKE ON THE ROAD?

No.

Feedback 2.0: AI’s Astonishing Empowered Power in Customer Relations!

A few years ago, businesses everywhere were stuck in the same cycle. Customers were voicing their opinions — loud and clear — but somehow, those opinions weren’t being heard.

Feedback flooded in through surveys, emails, social media, and review platforms. But sorting through endless responses, deciphering scattered comments, and addressing the concerns in a timely manner? That was a job too big for any human team to handle effectively.

It was a problem that demanded a solution. That’s when AI entered the picture.

The First Breakthrough: Effortless Feedback Collection Imagine a world where feedback wasn’t just collected — it was captured at the perfect moment.

Businesses didn’t have to wait for customers to fill out lengthy forms or send emails. Instead, AI-powered tools reached out to customers immediately after a transaction. Whether it was a chatbot on a website or an in-app pop-up, AI made it easy for customers to share their thoughts in just a few clicks.

For businesses, this was a game-changer. Response rates jumped as customers felt the questions were timely and non-intrusive.

The Next Step: AI Understands Emotions, Not Just Words Collecting feedback was just the start. The real breakthrough came when AI began to understand the emotions behind the feedback.

Before, a customer might leave a generic comment like, “It was fine, I guess.” But AI could now detect the frustration hidden in those words. It didn’t just recognize the word “fine” — it recognized the tone behind it: a sign of dissatisfaction.

Through sentiment analysis, AI could identify whether customers were happy, frustrated, angry, or indifferent. It flagged important emotions that a human team would likely miss, giving businesses a clear picture of their customers’ true feelings.

Organizing and Prioritizing: The AI Advantage The next breakthrough was organization. AI systems started grouping feedback into categories: product complaints, delivery issues, service praises, or even feature requests. It prioritized urgent matters and presented them in an easy-to-understand dashboard, so managers could act quickly.

Instead of sifting through hundreds of comments and surveys, businesses now had a clear map of where they needed to focus their efforts.

Predicting Problems Before They Happen But AI’s abilities didn’t stop there. As it learned from more data, AI systems started to predict problems before they even escalated.

Let’s say complaints about shipping delays were rising steadily over a few weeks. AI could detect this trend early and alert managers with a simple recommendation: “Consider updating delivery schedules to avoid customer dissatisfaction in the upcoming holiday season.”

It wasn’t just reacting to feedback — it was anticipating future issues and helping businesses stay ahead of the curve.

Personalizing Responses: Making Every Customer Feel Heard Finally, AI revolutionized how businesses responded to feedback. Gone were the days of generic, robotic responses like: “Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it.”

AI now enabled businesses to send personalized, thoughtful replies, such as: “Hi James, we’re sorry to hear about your delayed shipment. We’ve expedited your next order and added a discount for your inconvenience.”

Not only did this make customers feel valued, but it also built trust — because they could see businesses genuinely cared about solving their problems.

The Outcome: A New Era of Listening and Improvement

Today, the smartest companies are not just collecting feedback. Businesses are now leveraging AI agentic tools like Teemify to actively listen and understand customer feedback in real time. These intelligent systems don’t just gather data — they drive continuous improvement by turning insights into impactful actions.

Looking to grow bigger and smarter? Connect with us today and let’s make it happen

AI is helping businesses keep their finger on the pulse of customer sentiment, respond faster, and make data-driven decisions that lead to better products, better service, and — most importantly — happier customers.

API Vulnerabilities in Symfony: Common Risks & Fixes

Symfony is one of the most robust PHP frameworks used by enterprises and developers to build scalable and secure web applications. However, like any powerful framework, it’s not immune to security issues—especially when it comes to APIs. In this blog, we’ll explore common API vulnerabilities in Symfony, show real coding examples, and explain how to secure them effectively.

We'll also demonstrate how our Free Website Security Scanner helps identify these vulnerabilities before attackers do.

🚨 Common API Vulnerabilities in Symfony

Let’s dive into the key API vulnerabilities developers often overlook:

1. Improper Input Validation

Failure to sanitize input can lead to injection attacks.

❌ Vulnerable Code:

// src/Controller/ApiController.php public function getUser(Request $request) { $id = $request->query->get('id'); $user = $this->getDoctrine() ->getRepository(User::class) ->find("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $id"); return new JsonResponse($user); }

✅ Secure Code with Param Binding:

public function getUser(Request $request) { $id = (int)$request->query->get('id'); $user = $this->getDoctrine() ->getRepository(User::class) ->find($id); return new JsonResponse($user); }

Always validate and sanitize user input, especially IDs and query parameters.

2. Broken Authentication

APIs that don’t properly verify tokens or allow session hijacking are easy targets.

❌ Insecure Token Check:

if ($request->headers->get('Authorization') !== 'Bearer SECRET123') { throw new AccessDeniedHttpException('Unauthorized'); }

✅ Use Symfony’s Built-in Security:

# config/packages/security.yaml firewalls: api: pattern: ^/api/ stateless: true jwt: ~

Implement token validation using LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle to avoid manual and error-prone token checking.

3. Overexposed Data in JSON Responses

Sometimes API responses contain too much information, leading to data leakage.

❌ Unfiltered Response:

return $this->json($user); // Might include password hash or sensitive metadata

✅ Use Serialization Groups:

// src/Entity/User.php use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Annotation\Groups; class User { /** * @Groups("public") */ private $email; /** * @Groups("internal") */ private $password; } // In controller return $this->json($user, 200, [], ['groups' => 'public']);

Serialization groups help you filter sensitive fields based on context.

From Scroll to Sale: The Power of Interactive Content in the Customer Journey

In today’s crowded digital world, capturing user attention is harder than ever. Brands can no longer rely solely on static content to engage their audience. The solution? Interactive content — a powerful tool that transforms passive scrolling into active engagement and eventually, conversions.

What is Interactive Content?

Interactive content refers to any type of content that requires user participation. Unlike traditional formats, interactive content invites the audience to actively engage — whether it’s clicking, answering, swiping, or reacting.

Examples include:

Quizzes and poll

Calculators

Interactive videos

Product recommendation tools

Surveys and assessments

AR/VR experiences

Infographics with clickable elements

Why Interactive Content Works

Higher Engagement Rates Users are more likely to spend time on content they can interact with. This increased time-on-site improves SEO and strengthens brand awareness.

Personalized Experiences Interactive tools like product finders or quizzes can offer tailored results, creating a more relevant user experience.

Improved Data Collection Users willingly share information in exchange for value (e.g., personalized results), giving brands rich first-party data for retargeting and email marketing.

Boosts Conversion Rates By guiding users through their decision-making process, interactive content nurtures them through the funnel — from awareness to conversion.

Interactive Content Across the Customer Journey

1. Awareness Stage

At this stage, the goal is to grab attention.

Best Interactive Formats:

Fun quizzes (“What’s Your Digital Marketing Style?”)

Polls on trending topics

Interactive infographics

Personality assessments

These encourage social sharing, bringing more eyes to your brand organically.

2. Consideration Stage

Here, your audience is researching and comparing options.

Best Interactive Formats:

Product comparison tools

Interactive ebooks or guides

Calculators (e.g., ROI calculator, budget estimators)

Webinars with live Q&A

These tools provide value and help users make informed decisions.

3. Decision Stage

At this point, users are ready to buy — they just need a little nudge.

Best Interactive Formats:

Live chat or chatbot assistance

Interactive demos or video tours

Exit-intent surveys with discounts

Product customizers (choose features, colors, etc.)

These formats help address objections, showcase benefits, and lead to action.

Real-World Examples of Interactive Content Success

Sephora — Their “Virtual Artist” allows customers to try makeup virtually before purchasing. This led to a significant boost in online sales and reduced returns.

BuzzFeed — Famous for quizzes that go viral, BuzzFeed collects user data while entertaining. Brands can use a similar approach to combine engagement with lead generation.

HubSpot — Offers free tools like website graders and marketing calculators that drive traffic and generate qualified leads.

Tips to Implement Interactive Content Effectively

✅ Keep it simple: Don’t overcomplicate; easy interactions lead to better engagement. ✅ Make it mobile-friendly: A large portion of users will access content via mobile devices. ✅ Use visuals: Interactive content should be visually appealing and intuitive. ✅ Add CTAs: Always include a clear call-to-action that guides the next step (e.g., “Get Results,” “Download Report,” “Book Now”). ✅ Track performance: Use analytics to measure interaction rates, conversions, and drop-off points. Optimize based on data.

Tools to Create Interactive Content

Cat Spraying No More by Sarah Richards – End Your Cat’s Peeing Issues Forever!

Are you a cat owner who wouldn't fathom living without your feline friend, but have become frustrated with its recent "spraying" issues?

Are you at your wits end trying to figure out how to find a solution? Look no further.

See More about "Cat Spraying No More" Here!

Cat Spraying No More is a system that has all you need to understand why your cat is doing what it's doing, and how to bring about a peaceful solution that will not only fix the problem, but will serve to bring you closer to your cat.

Spraying, or peeing, around the house is a big no-no, for obvious reasons; and sometimes, cats that regularly use their litter box turn to other areas of the house to urinate or spray. As a result, owners tend to focus on the issue of the mis-targeted urination, rather than on why the behavior is occurring - the key element to Cat Spraying No More.

The Cat Spraying No More System carefully outlines various scenarios of unwanted spraying and targets possible causes in an easy to understand and well-laid out format. The system eases the reader into the topic and playfully chides with owners about the author's own unfortunate experiences, how the author was able to overcome them, and how you can, too.

The author's encouraging voice helps cat owners understand their cats better. There are underlying reasons for why cats do what they do, and when things are not quite right, they react. This system helps cat owners understand their cats better by discussing reasons why cats urinate outside their litter box.

It then outlines a system for owners to follow, based on their specific situation, so results are targeted and more effective. Depending on each scenario, there are detailed step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. The author guides cat owners with reassurance and support.

Some of the major plus points behind Cat Spraying No More are:

Saving money and time. No more carpet cleaning, upholstery shampooing and time wasted finding these incidents and attending to them.

Tricks you can use to get your cat to "like" its litter box again. This system helps you direct your cat back to using the litter box, on its own, without force.

A home free of stress and smell. Once you see how easy it is to get your cat back on track with this system, your home will be cleaner, you’ll be less stressed, and everyone will be happier. Trust me.

Helpful hints to effectively clean up the misfires. The system provides detailed instructions on clever concoctions that will effectively and permanently clean accident areas so you never know they existed.

Four bonus guides to boost your knowledge of caring for your cat:

Cat Training Bible

101 Recipes for a Healthy Cat

The Cat Care Blueprint

Pet Medical Recorder Software

An affordable and easy system to follow. Nothing in this system is overly expensive or difficult to execute. It also comes with a 60-day money back guarantee.

On the negative side, the following are points to consider before purchasing this system:

This system is not a perfect solution for 100% of cases (of bad cat behaviors). While the system is effective in 95% of the cases, there are instances in which the system does not work.

Results may differ. As long as the system is used as instructed results are generally achieved very fast, however if the system is not followed properly, little to no results are experienced.

In Conclusion

There really is no risk in trying out this product. With a no questions asked money-back guarantee, if things don't work out as you expected you get what you paid back.

Without risking anything, you will give yourself and your cat a chance to fix what's wrong and grow a little closer in the process. It's a deal worth every penny.
