Hello. C J here. I’ve reduced my current list of products down to a very manageable five. Novels, Quantum Expansions, the video game Dragon Engine, Heart and Fur books and Food of the World. This ends my planning for the company’s long term goals forever. I have long format stories to show off setting concepts, cards to explain how to use them, a video game where they are playable, tabletop manuals and recipes on cards. Good. It works.
This means I’m probably going to be really bored today. Again, my current novel Heart of Glass becomes my life a day before that section is typed. Here’s my thought though. You can’t play video games full time, it just isn’t good for you. Sure you can marathon one but not for a year straight. Card games and reading or playing tabletop manuals is similar. It’s never a full time activity even on weekends. And you can only really eat so many meals in a day regardless of how many recipes you want to try that day.
This leaves novels. Reading a book full time is actually really doable. It takes practice to have the stamina needed but it’s a really good way of spending most of a day. I know from experience there’s an even more interesting version of this idea. Working together on a shared narrative or on individual narratives as a team can take up endless time and is probably what larger game companies spend their time doing, making up new things as a team that they can sell.
I don’t have a team but I do have Facebook. I’m going to go hang out on Facebook in some of the larger furry groups and see if anyone wants to brainstorm together. What do you want in a game, video game, or novel? What’s your dream project? I’ve already done most of mine. It’s time to go see what everyone else wants out of the project and the Astral. Find me on Furry Love and Club Furry for Furries for now. Hope to see some of you there.

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...
