Read about my normal and functional spaceship to absolutely destroy your sleep schedule
This happened to me with their (now finished) serial novel Curse Words, and then their (currently unfinished) story Charlie MacNamara, Galactic Ace when I caught up to Curse Words while it was still in progress.
Simply put, it’s just a thing that happens when it comes to reading Derin’s stories.
I’ve been reliably informed by many, many readers that these stories are specifically crack for ADHD people who usually have difficulty reading and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. That’s such a random demographic.
Congratulations, you did invent time travel after all! Unfortunately, instead of the Soviet moon conspiracy thing, all it’s good for is warping your readers several hours into the future.
Bed is overrated, grab a snack to munch while you read.
This is evil. I have to sleep before my exam, but I’m really curious now.
(I’m barely a few paragraphs in, I’ll be able to stop in time, right?)
of course it’ll be fine
oh hey this post is finally on my dash!
checking in to say i read the normal spaceship story all in one night last september & then immediately sent it to my mom like HI HELLO PLZ READ THIS SO I HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT IT PLZ.
Unfortunately I don’t trust myself so I don’t dare click that link. Yet. I can tell you’re gonna get me eventually
If you click it and read it now you’ll no longer have to resist and you can save energy later
I’m like 30 chapters in and it’s consuming my brain
reblogged this six days ago with something about being on chapter 9, I know I was on chapter 51 four days ago, it’s now 2:19am and I’ve been reading for two and a half hours straight, current on chapter 90. sharing this post again to tell everyone to please read the thing bc it’s been so long since something has kept me reading until I’m literally seeing the word art shadow effect behind every letter but that’s the current state of my vision (yes I am stopping for the night after I post this but):
emphasis on the fact that this is an approximation because I am making this with my compromised vision so that now looks tripled which makes me think I did the visual effect right to make you see what I see right now
anyway read the damn story
I love that you took the time to make this effect to show us instead of going to sleep
it is 2:20 a. of the m. and I have to arise at 7:4tyfucking5. I’m reblogging this for later. I WILL NOT click the link.
Might as well keep going then. It’s the only responsible way to make sure you don’t oversleep. If you run out of story, there’s another one in progress now.
