I picked up a prop pistol from a seller on ebay for fairly cheap. Dirt cheap when you consider that it’s actual metal and wood, not resin or plastic. The firing mechanism is horrid, the whole thing will need some hefty modifications before it’ll make a decent Darkened Heart prop, but hey, not a bad […]

Darkened Heart Discussion. Oct 10th, 13th, and 15th
I have to admit, I’m rather surprised that I almost forgot about these bottles. They’re rather the point of Lee’s box. If you’re wondering why I didn’t list the labels or put them in the transcript, it’s because each bottle will be showing up individually in the next thee posts. So there’s plenty of time […]
Photoblogging without annoying the crap out of everyone.
This is a work in progress, so please bear with me while I work out the details. I’ve set up a wordpress plugin called Twitter Tools to aggregate tweets here on Sunkenlibrary. After mucking about in the settings for a bit, I’ve set it to post a once-per-week aggregation. My various twitter one liners aren’t […]
Darkened Heart discussion, October 4th, 6th, and 8th.
Looks like Darkened Heart updated correctly, this begins two weeks of Monday-Wednesday-Friday updates. You can expect a fresh incentive behind the vote. That updated smoothly as well, going live at midnight Pacific. I really need to figure out how to change the incentive schedule to Eastern time, ah well. In other news, I’ve nearly finished […]
Comment post for Darkened Heart, October 1st
Well my face is red. In my mad dash to get posts lined up and updating on time, I completely neglected an entire subcategory of props from the first box. I’m scrambling to retcon my mistake, which means that several older entries are getting minor edits, and the final report for Box 1 is getting […]
Safe spaces, or why dickwolves are only sometimes hilarious.
Okay folks. It’s time to recenter and refocus this discussion. Let’s be blunt, my old article is long, rambling, and easy to misinterpret. I find that a lot of the comments focus not on my core point, but on some aside or small element that surrounds the main point of the article. So, let’s take […]
Discussion post for Darkened Heart, September 17th
The last page of Lee’s Journal is now up on thedarkenedheart.com. This marks the end of Lee’s box. I’ll be taking a few posts to wrap up the report on her personal effects and set the stage for the next box. The props and story for Artifact 2 are long-since finished. Now I need to […]
Discussion post for Darkened Heart, September 10th
The post for September 10th is now live. I have to admit, this is one of the weaker posts from this box. Obviously, these are nerf darts, repainted to look like metal. These bullets are an uncomfortable compromise between prop-making and effective toys. Each of these guns was also a present for a sibling. It […]
Discussion post for Darkened Heart, September 3rd
The latest page of Darkened Heart is now live: http://darkenedheart.sunkenlibrary.com/?p=101 Here we see the second half of Lee’s journal entry from two weeks ago. In the future, I’ll put split pages like this one back-to-back with the first page. I may even just double-post split pages like these, to avoid the disruption of a narrative […]
Discussion post for Darkened Heart, August 27th
The automated system brought the post online when it was supposed to, but I forgot to run all the other maintenance tasks, so it showed up without a proper title or commentary. In my defense, I was at work until midnight yesterday. I went home and crawled into bed with a lingering feeling that I’d […]
