Hello everybody!
(*shoves a bunch of bots inside a closet*)
Welcome to my blog!
(*sweeps a bunch of bots under a rug*)
I wasn't expecting company.
(*crams a bunch of bots inside the garbage disposal and turns it on, then remembers there isn't a garbage disposal, then realizes that plumbers are expensive and those bots are really jammed in there, aren't they?*)
Okay, look, I'll level with you. If you're seeing this blog update within the first 24 hours of me posting it, there's a 95% chance you're here because of Creepcast. I wish I could say this place was usually a bit tidier, but let's face it. You know that's a lie. I know it's a lie. And the bots... well, it's an infestation that I've mostly managed to keep contained to the forums. (Oh, the forums... what fun we used to have on that side of the blog... there was that whole AU thing where we all played games and solved puzzles and cooperatively wrote the long-story that turned into Bedside Manor. Now it's no man's land. Dead Internet incarnate. I just haven't been able to bring myself to amputate it yet.)
If you're not from Creepcast, let me explain. A big podcast series called Creep Cast released an episode a few hours ago where they read the Diego-version of my very earliest blog posts. And now my blog traffic has jumped up by approximately 20,000% over yesterday. It was a pretty cool episode. I think I heard one of the hosts say he sorta liked it. Although they were quite dissatisfied with the Dark God.
Okay, sorry for the tangents (I wasn't expecting to communicate today). If you're here because you're curious about the series, let me point you towards a few good starting points:
-Click here to begin reading the original blogposts. There are a TON of these available here on my blog. This story is an ever-expanding work in progress. The newest story post was a few weeks ago, with more on the way "soon."
(If you're interested and able, please consider buying a copy. This is my sole source of income right now, and those bot-exterminator payments ain't gonna cover themselves)
Of course, if you don't feel like committing a whole lot of time or mental energy into a new universe, but you enjoyed the Creepcast's take on my story and want to support me, I am always appreciative when people buy me a coffee.
No matter how you arrived at my weird little blog, though, I do want to say--from the bottom of my heart--thanks for being here. Now please go say something nice about the dark god in the comments so I'll know that you're not a bot.
Love y'all,
-Jack
Loved the Dark God, but would like to see him finally come back in his non-sleepy form. Also, I like that bots are your digital version of the gnomes from the gas station.
congrats on all the attention!!! love to see the gas station get a new wave of folks interested in it. dark god had a great fashion sense, i suppose
I liked his hair at least.
The Dark God is still my favorite of the series.
The dark god gets 12 thumbs up from me, see what I did there?
