Okay let's do an actual intro post
I'm Zoe. Or Hupfen. Or Zyrm, if you happen to know me as that linguistic curiosity.
I write stuff. Professionally, it's software you probably haven't heard of, though lately I've been lucky that it's stuff that also probably hasn't been harming anyone. It could even be helping! Shock!
This ain't about that, though. This is more about me as a lapsed novelist, getting back into the swing of things with an RPG-inspired adventure, VAPORMAGE. (I don't know why every book title is posted in all caps everywhere that publishers talk about it but if it gives me an excuse to Post Obnoxiously then I am here for it.) A lot of my content here will be about that, in one form or another. You've been warned.
I do intend to post other egregiously niche content here: I've gotten way too into examining where the names of things in video games (predominantly Final Fantasy XIV, which is gushing with examples) came from. Since cohost makes it really easy to have, essentially, alts, I've claimed Karnak Academy as a place to post about that.
I'm also a musician. (Well, drummer. Close enough.) I did an EP with my old band The Mighty Missoula, which you can listen to below, and I'm working on new recordings with my new group Pinch Runner.
