The second writing challenge from Project Exodus happened to fall in the middle of the Guardian Games event within the game. Despite the server’s overall middling feelings for the event, I decided I could cook up some interesting prompts to work with the theme of the Guardian Games. They ended up being: Rivalry Prize Ceremony […]
For the past year, I’ve been joining Discord communities during Covid times for… obvious reasons of supplemental socialization. Of these communities, I’ve had the most fun and success in writing and RP servers, and now have one of my own that I like to call home. As an admin, I’ve been organizing writing challenges, and […]
r/DestinyJournals AO3 “Look, you know I’m game for anything you want to do. But I think people expected you to get back to your old projects. This new thing of yours—” “—Of Didi’s.” “It feels like it’s taking over your life, Marcus.” “Didi’s life.” “Fine,” Bast snaps. If this is what it takes to get […]
Author’s Note I’m obsessed with the vanilla D2 strikes. Don’t ask me why. Let’s just call this second in the series, with Further Observation being the first. Yes, I’m working on Savathun’s Song. Yes, I’m obsessed with that strike. No, it’s not going to be done anytime soon. My favorite comment from r/DestinyJournals was from […]
Author’s Note I originally wanted to write this as taking place over the course of the entire raid, but it depressed me too much. Also, writing second person POV gets tiresome quick.

I wrote this little in-character story as a kind of meta jab at all the complaints about how her dialogue never changes. But how often do people really […]
The Results Delighted to see that I placed third in my heat overall for horror, hide and seek, and a tax collector. The original story in full can be found on my previous post, here. Feedback WHAT THE JUDGES LIKED ABOUT YOUR STORY {1909} The dialogue in this story sets a great hectic, fast pace. The premise itself […]
Taking another swing at the competition that changed my life last year: NYC Midnight Short Story Competition. Counting myself as fortunate that I got assigned a horror heat. I read a good amount of horror last year, and have been looking to finally cut my teeth on writing it. The original idea for the story […]
When the Dawning launched this year, I wrote this as a sort of sequel/what-if scenario in response to the D2 lore tab for Amnestia S-2. The kindest Redditor over on r/DestinyJournals read this and told me “I thought this was a legit lore piece.” !!!!! Thank you. I can retire now. (I won’t, but I […]
Preamble Every year around December, when the sun starts setting at 11am and I feel, sincerely, like I’m dying, some piece of media becomes my unfortunate crutch to consume with wild abandon and wring out every drop of serotonin that can be spared by playing it. This year’s crutch was Stardew Valley. (The other crutch is/was […]
