Long ago (back in 2013), I grabbed a website (originally dragonbound, then takosori, and finally paufler, at one point hosting all three, but eventually combining all of them into the one) for two purposes:
1) I was interested in programming and Real Programmers have their own websites.
2) I decided to give The Dragon Bound Quartet and Minataur Tails away.  For, if I died without sharing them, that would be a shame.  And giving them  away was the only viable option as Query Letters just aren't my thing.

Subsequently, I decided to post it all (and I mean everything, everything I care about) to the web.

This project (of posting it all; and I mean, it all) has been slow going:
1) I have a lot of content.  Writing was my life (and I mean, My Life) for a good decade.  So, we are talking about (10x365x2=7300) 7,500-15,000 hours worth of work.
2) It's not like I never wanted to monetize my writing, so I have been reluctant to post the good stuff... and in fact, still have several complete novels stowed away.
3) I'm headed straight into the pit of despair: i.e. I can't be bothered.

Essentially, having nothing else on which to hang my hat, I've decided to believe in:
1) Eternal Existence
2) A Self Correcting Moral Universe (call it Karma)
3) Yada!  Yada!

The specifics don't matter.

What is important is that as I fall into religion (or if you prefer, Psuedo-Religion), The Real World matters less-and-less:
A: If I am gone when I am gone and that is that, then I'm not going to bother trying anymore.
B: If I live on, my creations live on (without any additional effort required by yours truly).  So, that's pretty much settled, as well.

Long Story!
Who Cares?
I can't be bothered.

So, anyway, on this page, there are some of those hard to place scraps.  And this is the best I could come up with as to how to post them, given that:
1) I care less-and-less on a daily basis
2) My drive, motivation, and energy is at an all time low
3) But sometimes, when I fall into my head, rather than seeing the visions (sort of pathetic visions, really, but what do you want), I just grow bored... and for brief stints writing, posting, and doing the same old stuff is better than nothing.

But I expect as I go on, nothing (as in doing absolutely nothing) will continue to sound better-and-better... until it does not... or whatever.

Anyhow, post it if you got it, post it while you can.

Creating a new page was easier than trying to fit the stuff in elsewhere, which is probably how it will go next time (if there is a next time), as well.

I hope you enjoy.

The truth of the matter is that it could be fun to squeeze something out of the fall... into oblivion, into despair.  But as of yet, I haven't hit upon the low cost (eh, what am I talking about, I need a zero cost) solution to the problem.
