@emanate This. I have this. It is awesome. 🐺 📖
Made a new synopsis for my webserial, Midnight's Shadow
City kid Jason Brisby was just about to get used to life in a small mountain town. He made new friends, joined the baseball team, and met a strangely interesting, teenage girl.
However, a series of horrific events will lead him into a hidden world, which will tie his fate to that of a strange teenage girl on a quest to find her sister.

How to hax a vending machine to give you large-size coins instead of small ones
My grandma gave me a roll of 10 cent coins and I've been using them to buy snacks.
Today, I wanted to buy a bottle of iced tea ($1.50!?), but then I remembered I had an extra 5 cents from when I bought a candy bar (85c) and I wanted to get rid of it.
First, I tried inserting 25c then pressing the return button, but it didn't work. So, I inserted $1.75, bought my drink, and it gave me a 25c coin.
*victory awoo*

The Leaked Fyre Festival Pitch Deck Is Beyond Parody. But it’s also the latest chapter in the battle between consumers and advertisers in the digital age. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/05/fyre-festival-pitch-deck

As a storyteller, I don't like "broken" worlds.
In "The Walking Dead", for example; all conflicts in that show are caused directly, or indirectly, by zombies. In "Attack on Titan", it's the giants.
What cheap drama, filled with barbaric characters and contrived plots with no sense of the mundane.
Big money, though...
