iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Saw The Amazing Digital Circus finale today. Somehow very surprising yet also feels like the show was always leading her. I may have cried a little at the end. Wonderful conclusion to a really special series.

“I grew up without a dad, so it was important to me that the girls had the best one I could give them and that was Tom.” Craig McCracken has posted a touching tribute to Tom Kane along with an illustration of Professor Utonium and Mr. Harriman: www.instagram.com/p/DYgCr0SCftF/

A black and white drawing of Mr. Harriman from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends and Professor Utonium from The Powerpuff Girls reading:

Thank you Tom.
Your warmth, heart and humor resonated through your astounding voice and brought so much joy to so many lives.
…especially mine…
Love to you and your family my friend.

Jessica Fisher Riches - is Querying and Drafting @prahajess.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

New Agent's Guide: Early Magic Querying now. *With a lot of help from a friend: @kjsilver.bsky.social

EARLY MAGIC: YA contemporary fantasy by Jessica Fisher Riches, Dual POV, 93K words

The Pitch: When a cocksure witch loses her magic to a cunning daemon, she hatches a ruthless plan to steal it back -- even if it means betraying a grieving classmate who's only just discovered the world of magic

The Mood: Frenemies to Enemies, Angry Girl Energy, California Vibes, Romantic Debacles, Opening Night Nerves; For readers of: A wicked Magic, Wild is the Witch, Dark and Secret Magic, Practical Magic

Opening LInes: The witches wore black veils in the moonlight.
How dramatic.
Rowan, waiting alone at the edge of the clearing, attempted to distract herself from the cold by mentally improving the aesthetic of their ceremonial robes. Maybe a subtle charcoal trim and bespoke throat clasps?
Still, she wanted one of those veils. Badly.

I love video games, but I've decided to not buy any new ones for 2026. Got way too many in my backlog as is. Currently playing through PYRE. Very different sort of gameplay from the rest of Supergiant's work and TONS of dialogue. I think this'll click after a while.

The setting for the story, the Cygnus Junction, has been rattling about in my head for probably close to two decades now. Essentially depicting a gigantic traffic jam of spaceships. Coming up with a cast of rogues and heroes really helped solidify the finer details of the world.

The hero of THE ATOMIC ALL-IN is Keroux LaTour, a detective on a mission to bring down a very dangerous criminal. I went for a classical antihero archetype for him; someone with a noble goal, but prone to biases and unscrupulous methods I loved writing him, and I hope others enjoy reading him!

Everything is horrible and this website is definitely a distillation of that horribleness -- which is probably good in some way because we need a place where we can talk about and show what's happening! Still, some deep breath break is needed, so, what can I do? I can post DOGS. Here there be dogs.

Landscape-oriented photo of the dog SNOOBUG, who is a Corgi head screwed onto a Shepherd body. Here she is blinking and closing her eyes in a kind of meditation as snow falls around her. You may wonder what is going on behind those eyes and I assure you, it is nothing. Her mind is a blank movie screen. She is the ultimate in meditation because she can truly, truly achieve No-Mind. She forgets how doors work. How stairs work. Sometimes she just regards her own butt as if it is the OMPHALOS, the CENTER OF ALL THE UNIVERSE. Anyway. Snoobug gonna Snoobug. Behind her is some house siding. Beige. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

Landscape orientation. Two dogs fighting in the snow. Facing away on the right is SNOOBUG, the Frankencorgi dog. On the left, facing the viewer, is the RED DOG known as Loa -- she's in the midst of like, I dunno, trying to bite slash growl slash attack with her mouth, but really she just has this one-eye-squinty Popeye look. It's all very friendly, even though Snoobug -- with her ears back -- is mostly not into it, but she will be goaded into it, because that is the way of things with these two precious dipshits. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

You're gonna ask what happened here with this photo and I have no idea. I assume Snoobug is on drugs and the camera just chose to depict her implosive hallucinogenic trip. That or she's somehow time traveling. I don't know. I cannot speak to her ways. Anyway this is Snoobug, by the way, the FrankenCorgi shepherd, her head large and also her head small, the photo blurring them together with the eye as the focus, it's really weird, but she's kind of weird, so it's fine. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

SHUT UP AND LOOK AT THE PRECIOUS BABY okay sorry that is bad alt-text -- landscape oriented photo with a red houndy rescue dog curled up in her gray fabric dog bed, her front paws all T-Rexy. SHE IS A PRECIOUS BABY. Even though she's getting pretty old now, she is still baby. Somehow her back legs are thrust forward in this photo, proving that she is at least in part mutant giraffe. But all precious baby. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

I'm getting back into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Theres so, so much to love about this game's story and style... but man the combat is really not gelling with me. It's one of the best turn-based combat systems I've experienced *on paper,* but I feel like I rarely get to use it's best features.

Like most technology, generative AI *can* do good things, if only we collectively ask ourselves how to use it to better our world. The problem is that the people who can afford to fund it can only ask how it will make themselves even wealthier.

I've been playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It's one of the most indulgent and stuffed games I've played in a while, but it mostly feels pretty fun? Kinda reminds me of Yakuza. Combat is FIRE. I actually haven't played the OG FF7, which is a sin, but I do know the broad strokes at least.

I recommend writers watch The Amazing Digital Circus to get a better grasp on how "show don't tell" is supposed to work. I see some young writers who seem to think that they're supposed to avoid characters talking. What the advice should do is encourage following through on what you set up.

I really need to finish CO: Expedition 33. It's a stunning and creative experience but I just haven't had the spoons to finish a big RPG these past couple months. From what I've played it's been very deserving of the Game of the Year nomination.

I've been slowly reading Steel Ball Run (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7) and it really feels like the mangaka needed this continuity reset. I liked Part 6 a lot, but it felt like creativity overload at points. Part 7 feels both more restrained and more freed at the same time.

Finally caught up with the latest chapter of Deltarune. This game is shaping up to be one of the strongest examples of the impact of writing and storytelling in video games as a medium. I am utterly riveted by the characters and world Toby Fox has wrought. Also, it's UNBELIEVABLY funny.
