milesyWhoops, I forgot to post a chapter yesterday. I forgot to do it in the morning because I was busy putting a video together to go out by noon, and as soon as that went up, we went out to go do some shopping and other running around. And by the time we got home from that, I was in so much pain that I just went to bed. I'll post a chapter in a little bit.
Right now, I'm taking a break from spending an hour cutting apart about eight pounds of beef. I finally got better racks for the oven, so now there's four pounds (minus whatever fat got trimmed off) becoming jerky, and the other four pounds (same caveat) marinading in some teriyaki to become jerky tomorrow. I love these new racks so much. Last time I made jerky, I got so fed up with the ones that came with the oven that I tried to perforate tin foil and put that over the racks. All we wound up with was some very overcooked steak strips that way. Before, I had to do a single roast in two batches, because the racks are just standard oven racks with about an inch between the wires. Whole roast, all stripped up, fits in there all at once now. Before, it would have taken me four days to do what I'm doing in two. So yay! And while that's going, I've got all the fat trimmings on the stove, rendering down to go into the fryer.
Also, regarding Midgard Legends: I haven't been streaming much lately because I've been focusing on finishing up commissions. There are a lot to do, and I really want to get this done. The thing is, my outline says I have five chapters to go. But in writing a scene out, I realised that four of those chapters are absolutely pointless, because they went against some of Loki's motives. So there's only one left! It will probably be an extra long chapter, but with what I'm cutting out, it really only leaves two more plot points. They just happen to be a fairly small one, and a very large one, and I don't think I'll be able to split them apart without having a 2k chapter, and then a chapter that's still abnormally large.
Starting next week hopefully, I'll be able to get on a good Twitch schedule. I just want to make my YouTube schedule sink in better. I might do Twitch on Tuesdays and Thursdays, since those are the days I don't stream on YouTube.

fan_flashworks for Who Killed Markiplier fic. It's been really interesting to explore a completely different interpretation of the canon than what I'm used to. I play a few characters from this series in my RP, and take a very different approach to it, because when I started playing, WKM wasn't a thing yet, and my main was just in a bunch of loosely-related sketches. My choices were to retcon about two years of work, or just go AU. Going AU was the easier choice. So playing in a more serious, surreal environment has been a lot of fun. I don't think there's going to be much bleed between the two, both because the AU I've established is so far removed from canon, and because a lot of what I headcanon would get me modcalled by some pearl-clutcher every three days. So, nope. Not going there. I'll keep it confined to AO3.
