Uncle Doc Talks To You About Daily, Year Long Writing Assignments

…don’t, just don’t.
.

Well, Gentle Readers, here we are at the end of my third year long Doclopedia Deathmarch. Two posts a day for an entire Leap Year. Actually, I went two posts beyond the total, doing 734 posts total. I think I did well on what I wrote. I do wish two thirds of it had not been done in this shitty year of 2020.

I am ready for a rest from the Doclopedia, but look for it to make weekly appearances starting sometime in late October.

Note: The next big Doclopedia milestone will be hitting 2,500 posts, which is 265 posts away. I have no idea when that will happen. 2022?

Final Note: Yes, I am thinking of a Non-Doclopedia Year Long Deathmarch, but I will not start it until the world becomes a place with safe live conventions and hugging again.

Mixing Magical Potions: Invisibility and Flight

.

While all potion mixes can have wildly varying effects, this one tends to have a couple of the same effects pop up about 58% of the time, depending upon the ratios of the two potions involved.

If a touch more Flight is used, the potion will, 58% of the time, cause the user to turn invisible and zoom off in whatever direction they choose at a very high speed. Like, 2,000 miles per hour high speed. Turning is difficult, but not impossible. The potion effect lasts 1 hour, so be sure to land before then.

If a bit more Invisibility is used, you remain barely visible, but can fly short distances at a blinding speed. Certain rogues and scalawags have used thid mix in the “ghost eradication” scam. You cannot pass through solid objects while under the effects of this potion! Be careful. It wears off after an hour.

What’s In A Name?: Influenza Crockwash

.

Miss Influenza Crockwash lives in the city of Sheffield, England. She is quite wealthy and a well known philanthropist. She will never turn those in need away from her door. Despite, or perhaps because of her rather unfortunate name, the common working folk love her.

If they knew more about her other habits, they’d probably elect her Prime Minister. You see, Influenza hates evil and cruel people like gangsters and crooked businessmen, so she has a crew of “professional two legged pest removers” on her payroll, and sends them out to deal with such blackguards.

She’s also no fan of stupid weasely crooks, which is why several MPs have vanished over the years.

Her name aside, Influenza is a tall, good looking woman with many friends and male suitors.
