The third time Bereth regained consciousness, he was able to assess his situation: he — and everyone else imprisoned in this room — was chained to some hellish contraption that was siphoning his life force. Probably.

When her free time is not taken up by things like reading, procrastination, video games, watching series or more procrastination, she mainly writes sci-fi fanfiction and original flash fiction of various genres. While she dabbles in a lot of things ranging from digital art to jewelry to plants to whatever catches her interest, writing is her persistent forte.
You should not give her yet another crazy flash fiction challenge to take part in because she simply cannot say "no" to it.

FFM 2023 3: Imprisonment – Take II
"Kh…" Bereth forced his eyes open. His limbs were still as good as nonexistent, but at least his eyes worked… and his brains worked at least somewhat.
FFM 2023 2: Imprisonment
Cold. That was all that Bereth felt when he came to. He could somewhat feel his own presence but none of his limbs. His body altogether felt as good as nonexistent.

Currently on my art: Q1 stats and work
Hi everyone! The first quarter of this year has ended, so it's time for a Currently on my art update. If you haven't read my recent post on the libraries' digital rights being at risk, please do read it. It would mean a lot to me if you did.
Libraries are at risk!
Today, I want to spotlight the Internet Archive and its fight for the libraries' right for digital lending, something that is at risk right now. In a nutshell, as the Fight for the Future's page on the situation says, major publishers don't allow libraries to purchase permanent digital copies of their books - the given only option being renting the digital copies for high fees, meaning that things like censorship are veritable risks - forcing libraries to instead scan physical books so they can be loaned digitally while the physical copy is kept in storage and the digital copy's loaning is limited to just one file per book - a practice known as Controlled Digital Lending. The nonprofit Internet Archive and more traditional libraries like the Boston Public Library preserve their books digitally this way. The publishers sued the Internet Archive for doing this and on March 24th, a lower court judge ruled in the publishers' favor, which puts not just the Internet Archive but libraries like the aforementioned Boston Public Library at risk as well.
Currently on my art: Happenstances
The first quarter of 2023 has reached its midpoint, so it's time for a new post - although this time, it's with a minor announcement: namely, the fact that I've finally decided to bite the bullet and rename these updates from Currently on art to Currently on my art. A bit wordier but I figured that a bit more specificity would probably be nice.
