Thank you so much for supporting this project, Encounterers!  We couldn't have afforded such adorable puppets or as elaborate a set without your help (nor could we have likely pulled off an entire Night 2 video for Mark's channel!)

You guys are awesome and we hope you've enjoyed the musical.  We also hope there may be a Night 3 in our future... ;)

I admit, this was one of the most fun musicals to make.  It was also one of the messiest.  I don't think the Octodad costume survived, but maybe a few more washings will get the "hot sauce" out...

Up next... another FNAF Night!

Okay so OH MY GOLLY, this month has been tons of fun! I went back to the doctor for a little brain-therapy that seems to be doing me good, spent a good hunk of time in Chicago (where I am currently) and went to a wonderful wedding of two souls who made me cry like a leaky faucet and smudged off all the makeup I had been so meticulous about.

Oh and also it was SDCC which was a blast, too.

You know what's funny?

I forgot to update. Huh-wha? So here's the first update of the month and likely another one shortly after (as this is you know, my primary means of getting paid nowadays) 

I'm pretty focused on restarting Wordplay with a quickness, because I miss it so much and getting paid to do something you love is an opportunity you shouldn't pass up or ignore. So I'm gonna STOP IGNORING THAT. Any input as to how I can make Wordplay even better (or get sponsorship, etc) is encouraged. Also there's a new FB page for it, should be http://facebook.com/ThisIsWordplay

But of course I am a sucker for only focusing on one thing at a time so I haven't written anything for a bit. THat's okay, I had this story hiding in the wings and I still think it's cute. Twilight Zone inspiration like whoa!

THanks all for bein' here, hope you like this tale. I shall polish up another one shortly!

Wrote this, inspired by the stories I heard of the American West. It was full of atrocities but I imagined some of the most devout and pious perspectives, so different than my own. This is more of a monologue, I read it aloud to my friends and vowed to keep it.

It's strange, but I enjoy it.

NEWWWW STUFFFF!

Well sort of. It's a story I wrote a while ago and looked back on, I'm a bit torn on it but it touches upon a lot of sadly realistic things in the internet world. There was a certain kind of life escape that many of us found, when we were young and awkward and never felt worthwhile unless we pretended to be someone else.

I remember those old vampire chat rooms, where every single person described their outfit to unerring detail and sulked in corners. You have to wonder how many corners this vampire tavern even had. Is it just a maze? A poorly-lit postage stamp of a room with cubicles for each mysterious, dangerous patron to haunt?

But anyway.

It's inspired by the Twilight Zone episode "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine" but the similarities are few. That's what inspiration does after all, creates artistic license.

Hope you like it!

A new guard, new song, and a new animatronic sent our FNAF series spinning in a new direction.  Three down, two to go...

But don't think we're passing up some other cool projects!  Watch our weekly REports for updates on some other neat things we're doing this fall!

And as always, thanks for your support! ^^

WOW! It was incredibly fun to talk about what inspires me and where I want to go, right now all I can do is hope I didn't say "um" too much. 

I'm at pax in Seattle, anxiously awaiting my bIrthday tomorrow when I turn 30. I can't wait to be old enough to be un - hip. Every day is another step towards eventual full time witchdom.

This isn't the story I promised to post, but I've been too busy playing card games with charming strangers and have not edited any tales yet. They are incoming. 

Thanks and love! Tell me your thoughts on the podcast! 

Mario helped us break up FNAF a little bit this month, and it's been a blast sharing some of the levels featured in this video with you guys!  Thanks for your support again this month and we have an exciting holiday season fast approaching, beginning with something spooky for Halloween next month...

Don't forget to share some levels with us if you own a copy of Super Mario Maker!  And watch out for impossible Bowser Castle levels -- the Miiverse is FULL of them... >_<

I've missed doing font stories. This is a new one! I wrote another tonight, but I was dying to post this right away. I see it really cut up, fable-like, as an illustrated children's book. That is, if anyone wants to draw for it (*cough cough meowza hakk*)

I think it is funny to see a cute small animal talk so big about the world, so naive and self-centered. The world hasn't repositioned for the little baby yet. Who knows if it ever will? It is the way of the foxes.

Hope you like it!
