I am happy to say that my work on Spells of Magic did manage to make some minor progress, but I regret to report that the work has been put on hiatus due to having a life outside of internet shenanigans and looking over more pressing issues.
The wonderful people at Ebaumsword.com have started to fight against the bloated corporation Gaia Online , who has decided to appropriate Ebaumsword.com memes for profit (specifically Longcat, who is LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG). I found this worthy of attention so I joined in with all the people from Ebaumsword.com to defend the sanctity of free memes and (of course) the lulz. Hence, I have been a little distracted as of late as I and over 9000 other Ebaumsword.comamous members spam the hell out of the bloated, fandom soaked atrocity. (For legal purposes of this blog: I am not spamming Gaia at all and have no connection to the people who do. Such evil actions are perpetrated by my evil twin Achary-Zay Oss-Cray of the website All Fandoms are a Wonderful Joy to the Universe.)
As per my previous dark and sinister plot to unseat a past target, I can give out a general note and leave it at that for now. One of the most powerful things that the internet has to offer is the gift of no identity. Even with the best tools, no one can be 100% traced to their work unless they are terminally stupid enough to part with this information. So, being a complete jerk is acceptable online, assuming you never have to face the ramifications of your work. Now, I am sure that all of my previous sources of ire (maybe not JDR considering she is absolutely nutballs) would cling very tightly to this providence, as to face the consequences of their e-life would leave them in a very sad state indeed. Hence, when someone is foolish enough to leave this kind of information lying around, you can bet that someone (myself in this case) is going to use it.
Regarding some of my newer ideas, something that I have been considering recently is that for all my assertions of artistic standards and what have you, I have yet to match them in any way. Certainly I have written some slightly amusing reviews of complete garbage, but I have yet to produce anything that would warrant my own work being any better. I am willing to admit that I am not being original in this. Ebaumsword.com and John Solomon are both doing better jobs of this than I am anyway. Hence, I consider producing my own creative work to try to combat the sinking ship of standards. Of course, it would not be a Zachary Cross product if it did not unleash a dramabomb and lulz, so I will be trying to accomplish that as well. This is of course all speculation, but I'll see where it leads me. After all, if people like Yatzee can make hate fueled reviews and make creatve novels or whatever, I should be able to churn out something recognizable.
Until next time.
(Once again: DO NOT CLICK LINKS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHERE THEY LEAD.)

What's with all the nonsensical, dead links?
So they don't work, then? Ah, well I'll do some editing. The gist of them is that if you don't know who I'm talking about with the whole Ebaumsworld.com thing, then I'm pushing a subtle hint about who it really is. Never mind it.
unfunny
Imagine calling other people pants on head retarded when:
1# you were actually a fan of Your Webcomic Is Bad And You Should Feel Bad (unironically worse than being a ctrl alt delete fan in the late 2000s tbh)
2# you were actually one of the few people in the world to have the dubious quality of being an "ebaumsworld fan", perhaps one of the worst something awful/4chan ripoffs to ever grace the net
you couldn't even get being and edgy acerbic asshole right, jesus christ
you know, modern internet trends/ ideologies/ culture may be a vapid pit of vipers, simultaneously both devoid of actually artistic and emotional and spiritual integrity, all while championing itself as the one true way to view the world through, and as the one true source of entertainment, literally everything wrong with late 20th century/21st century humans beings and the zeitgeist as a whole, but then I look back into late/ mid/ early 2000's internet culture and realize that things where already basically just as vacuous and pathetic then. this chewed up bit of tadpole spawn you can scarcely call a blog proves that.RIP world wide web, you were good for about five years in the 90s since your inception, I think.
