So you got your dream job! As the newest journalist for The Weekly Chirp, the sole source of information in a booming boardwalk town, you expected a life of high-stakes stories and giving a voice to the voiceless. Instead, you’re drowning in fluff pieces and award ribbons.

Just when you think you've reached the limits of your yawn-inducing routine, you finally catch the scent of a story. From puff pieces to baptism by fire, you find yourself in the darker side of town filled with betrayal, death, and the unknown. Find out how far you're willing to go for the story, but ask yourself one thing, when the safety net of the mundane is gone, will you survive the fall?

Negative Exposure is a work in progress and is open to changing.

Play as male, female, or non-binary and customize your characters appearance, personality, hobby, and skillset.

Choose your path and decide exactly how far you’re willing to go to uncover the truth, and what you're willing to pay.

Romance, befriend or annoy four distinct characters and possibly even form an unlikely group of friends.

Pet a stray or two along the way! Maybe one will follow you home.

Felix Crane- Senior reporter and son to the boss, Felix is rarely spoken about without a side of gossip attached, and yet, he remains perpetually unfazed. What will it take to crack the stoic mask he's worn for years now?

Nora Garza- Friendly, welcoming, and your first ally in town, Nora is always ready to greet you with a smile. While she radiates warmth, it's not hard to spot just how secretive she can be about her own life.

Silas Thorne- Owner of one of the seediest bars in town, Silas is a man of infinite deals who is charming, vague, and dangerously well-informed. He's a beneficial man to know until you can no longer afford him.

Viv Thorne- Bartender at night, and debt collector when required, Viv is either feared or praised, depending on who you ask. While her brother is all charm and noise, she is reserved, focused, and dangerously efficient.

Negative Exposure is rated 18+

Such Happy Campers Update

Finally. At long last! Thank you guys very much for waiting. I really hope you enjoy Chapter 5. Please reblog if you enjoy my work!

Play it right here.

What's in store?

help the kids with their homework

mediate between Enola and Benny

bathe with your fave RO (Sawyer has their first official RO scene here)

play hide and seek

By the by, I took this opportunity to improve some stuff in Chapter 4 (George now lists male MC as "one of the guys" when talking about the cabins, and weak and non-agile MCs fall over when Basil uses them as a launch pad during his dreamcatcher scene). Also, I fixed a long-standing typo in Chapter 1.

Of Art & Augury: An Interactive Fiction WIP

Genre: Historical Fantasy Format: Text-based interactive fiction Tags: Text-based, historical fiction, romance, fantasy/magic, art and artists, late 19th century Paris Current Status: Drafting (NaNoWriMo 2023 Project)

Synopsis

As a writer for one of the top Parisian society gazettes, you've advised many readers about the up-and-coming artists of the Paris Salon. The best painters there know how to weave subtle enchantments into the likeness of their subject to make the image come to life but, recently, something had been going wrong with the magic. It's up to you to head to the academy and figure out to truth for yourself.

Setting

Set in Paris at the end of the 19th century, you will explore the city and the art exhibitions of the academy. This version of Paris has an undercurrent of magical power which artists use to create enchanted artwork for society.

ROs

Odette [F]

Occupation: Commercial Lithographer Artistic Inspiration: Alphonse Mucha Odette is an Austrian artist who moved to Paris to start her career as an artist. She has little formal training and started her career by taking any artistic work she could get her hands on. Now she does mostly lithography for product advertisements and theater posters.

Sainte [M]

Occupation: Journalist Artistic Inspiration: Édouard Manet Sainte was born in Paris and studied under a successful portrait artist from a young age, but left his studies to pursue journalism for reasons he doesn't like to talk about. Now, he works as an art critic for a Parisian newspaper, covering the Salon and other exhibitions.

Armand [M]

Occupation: Portrait Artist Artistic Inspiration: John Singer Sargent Armand has been passionate about art for most of his life and moved to Paris from New Orleans to start his studies when he was still young. He has been studying portraiture ever since and has already painted portraits for some very influential young socialites.

Helene [F]

Occupation: Socialite Artistic Inspiration: Berthe Morisot Helene is a Parisian socialite who fell in love with painting during her private art education growing up. Although her family encouraged her to keep painting, they refused to let her receive any education in enchantment, a requirement for being taken seriously in artistic society. Ever since, she has been trying to teach herself magic in secret.

Romantic options

Aden/Adina [M/F]

A brunette with a knack for decisive and violent response. Aden/Adina is one of the strongest rebel in your generation, with no serious flaws. You often wonder what your childhood friend hides behind those striking green eyes. Calm on the surface but a wreck inside, only you know of the tempest brewing.

*self esteem issues, may be manipulative depending on choices. Aden(distant, yet caring and respects you), Adina (Capricious, yet secretly caring)

Ronnie [M]

A blue eyed red head, Ronnie is charismatic oriented person yet actually a laid back guy who befriends everybody instead of a heart robber. You often wondered how he was so uncaringly positive until you noticed not everything is as it seems.

*Laidback yet protective (bro vibes)

Elias/Liana [M/F]

As mysterious as Elias’s/Liana’s mismatched eyes and as tantalizing as his/her sculpted olive build. Change how you meet this RO and explore three different dynamics with this character. And decide the flow of your relationship. (No spoiler).

*enemy to lovers/ friends to enemies/ lovers to enemies/ enemies to friends

(Elias- stoic|Liana- flirty)

[If you play female pc, Liana would exist as Elias’s siblings and vice versa]

Feiyu [F]

Doe eyes and a cute twin bun hairstyle. Feiyu is Innocent… or is she really? Tied to an organization that still brings goosebumps when you think of it. Deal with the complexity of the game when her allegiance to the rebellion surpasses yours.

*Just a really nice girl

Shanon [F]

Strong headed and a body honed for combat. She is a student part timing as a blacksmith, and partaking the tournament where the winner will be recruited into the empire. Dangerous sense of morals and those amber eyes which hides no emotions.

*strong personality

Zion [M]

The tyrant who started all the tragedy. Loving him would be everything wrong, yet there is something about him that pulls you under. Be it his immoral love and unchecked obsession.

*???

Mark

Potentially more to come.

Prove that black hair does not equal to a calm personality. Mark is dash of energy ready to irk the heck out of you. Mark is an adventurous agent of the Chatoyant who does everything exciting and often desires to drag you into his “marvelous” schemes.

???

An RO that I might scrap.

The Anachron, Mark 1x29.

The first working time travel prototype, and the pride and joy of Nikola Park, which...now lies crushed in your usually capable hands.

In a world of superpowers — and everyone’s favorite: heroes, villains, vigilantes — your classmate Park was the first to actually make time travel a reality.

During these final stages, you’ve been Park’s right hand: Park’s beta tester, of sorts. Tech might not be your forte like it is theirs (your abilities lie with sound manipulation), but you couldn’t resist the potential for adventure.

After several successful trips into the past, only trips into the future remained untested.

Until earlier today.

You guys got cocky. You set your target for 20 years forward. Sure, Mark 1x29 got you there in one piece, but the future you find yourself in is…gnarly.

You’re not the hero you thought you would be — in fact, you’re the exact opposite. You’re a villain. A supervillain. The scourge of Telos City.

Where did you go wrong? And more importantly, how do you fix…everything?

Anachron story features:

Play as male or female, with 5 4 (😉) love interests to choose from, 3 2 of which are gender-variable.

Or go single! God knows you have a lot on your plate anyway!

Customize (most of) Menlo, your character from an era much like the 1990s/early 2000s. Determine Menlo’s names, appearance, character relationships, and more.

Discover why your future took a turn for the worse, and decide what you wanna do about it.

In the meantime, fight against the forces of evil and gain ✨valuable on-the-job experience!✨

Catch you on the flip side! Prologue (and then some) out now.
