So, this is a weird post. I never actually confirmed the fate of Odd & Ends, mostly because it was very hard to come to terms with. I fell out of love with a very difficult project I wrote for free, so I laid it to rest. And yet, I still think of Donovan, Karessa, and Nestor quite often, and have high hopes that it will one day return.
If you’re a new reader and find this post discouraging, I would still encourage you to read Odd & Ends if you’re interested. It was often more episodic than serialized, and I wrote a ton of stuff that I am proud of.
For now, I have a new project, and if you enjoy the strange humor and pleasant world of Solkin, I think there is a good chance you will like this, too.
Slice and Dice is a podcast where my friends and I play Dungeons and Dragons. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, think of it like this: it’s an interactive fiction podcast where my friends play the protagonists and I make up the world around them and occasionally try to kill them. It’s funny, it’s cute, and it’s about delivering pizza.
Much like how Odd & Ends is about the life of a hero after he’s done heroing, Slice and Dice is about a world of adventurers but we focus not on them, but on the two cats and a gnome who deliver them pizza while they’re off on quests.
If you’re interested, the website is here and you can find all the ways to listen here.
I hope you like it, and I hope we all go back to Skymoore someday. As always, thank you for reading, and for listening!
Odd & Ends 
Hello! I originally heard about Oddnends from the MBMBaM podcast and even briefly spoke to you in that episode’s discussion thread on reddit. I would just like to say that I AM enjoying your stories very much, I read them before bed sometimes and find them very relaxing, and you SHOULD be proud of what you have accomplished. More than anything I feel like you have really made manifest a coherent vision across different stories. By that I mean that the tone and feel of the project is very consistent, which I think is tough to do and you did a good job at it anyway. I remember you saying that Skymoore and its inhabitants don’t quite feel real to you any more (is that correct or a dream I had?). However, as a reader I feel very immersed during the time I spend in Solkin and I really appreciate that something as fun and charming as Oddsnends is available for me to browse for free. So thank you!
I will definitely be checking in on your podcast and look forward to any project you do in the future. Cheers!

Thank you so so much for saying so! When I say they feel less real to me, what I meant is that it has been harder for myself to step into these characters, which was heartbreaking
But this comment means the world to me and has really brightened up my morning. I hope you enjoy my podcast and I hope that Odd & Ends returns one day! This comment definitely has me considering it
