Tabenings - Plague Edition

So, the good news is the first of them stories based on my stories that I'd mentioned a while ago has made its appearance: Incubated by the marvelous Half Shim. If you like 'Pierced', you'll like Incubated! Beaches! Hot babes! Alien crawlers suckling on heads and mucking around with brains!

Speaking of mucking... the bad news is I spent all of last weekend about a hair's breadth from death, or so it felt. Some flu-like malady really kicked the spit out of me; I couldn't even manage to rise from bed to make a proper supper for myself and the Subsidiary Unit either Saturday or Sunday, and I had to get someone to cover for me at work both yesterday and today.

No fun!

But I'm not dead, so that's good, and am in fact a bit on the mend. As mentioned I do have a trip coming up in the near future, one which will put me in a hotel with not a lot to do but eat Cheetos and watch porn (old joke reference) so I will do my best to get some writing done and ready for you scurvy dogs.

(The joke is: man goes in to see the doctor. "What seems to be the problem?" the doctor asks. "Well, doc, it's my penis. It's turned orange." "Orange?" the doctor asks. "Okay, let's see it."

Man pulls down his drawers and sure enough his schwanz is bright orange, the color of marine rescue equipment. "Huh," the doctor says, examining it. "How strange. Hmm. Could be an allergy - have you changed your habits recently? Eating new foods, wearing new clothes?"

"Naw, doc, I can't afford none of that. I got laid off a couple months back so now I just sit at home eating Cheetos and watching porn."

Ba-dum-tsss!)

  3. Get well soon!

    I think that old joke would be funnier if "watching porn" was replaced by "feeling lonely", making the implication more subtle.

  4. *Face reddens from compliments* - Why thank you!

    I'm glad to hear you're starting to feel better! Flus are nasty business. I avoid them by the simple expedient of avoiding people by spending too much time online. :D

    I bestow the wishes of productivity upon you for your trip and hope we get to see more of 'Pierced' soon!

  5. That must have been the worst joke I've heard, this week, but if you're in the mood to joke around, it means you're out of the woods.
    Thanks for the update. And get well soon.
    Oh, and Shim's story is badass. (from what I've read so far, so I hope it won't turn into a fairy tale-ish happpy end).
    It's great that your gifted followers make the wait for Pierced finale mor than bearable for us, mundane.

    1. Thanks! Don't worry, it has an appropriate Tabiconic ending. You won't be left in the lurch!

    2. "Tabiconic ending", I like that.
      Could also be a Taboo ending for anything scary.

    3. Tabironic ending for the ones where the controller ends up controlled! Tabionic ending for the ones with robots!

    4. Oh dear, it appears we've been pulled into a Tabinomenon. The Tabining has come!

      Clearly someone's read deep from the pages of the Tabinomicon to discover the ending of "Pierced". XP

    5. Klaatu. .. Verada. .. Necktie...Nectar...
      Tabinomicon would be a cool addition to the Dark Queen's toolset in the Descent universe. Heroine unwittingly unleashes legions upon a village. Men become slaves and the women are corrupted.

      GASP! The Tabinomicon is a dictionary?! The real magic is articulacy?

  6. I hope you are feeling better!

    Half Shim's story is a proper tribute if the first two chapters are any indication. A great way to enjoy more Pierced until the finale.
