I always hoped there was some kind of front end I could edit my blog from instead of manually creating text files and then pushing them to Gitlab. Today I found out about Sveltia CMS and have integrated it into the backend of pent.blog. I’m writing this post from it right now, so hopefully it works!
So far, the UI looks pretty good. I still need to configure a bunch of things. I can’t figure out how to get cover images to work because of the way they work in Hugo, but I’ll figure it out eventually.
Life Updates
After completing a 30 day writing challenge for Final Fantasy XIV in September, I was very eager to get back to working on my Honkai: Star Rail fan fiction.
On the night of October 12, I finally finished and published chapter five of Phantom Eye Syndrome. The chapter follows Aventurine’s near death experience and ends in the same way as the canon, with him choosing to live when confronted with death.
This September, I participated in the #FFXIVwrite2024 challenge, where participants publish a Final Fantasy XIV fan fiction every single day based on a given prompt. The prompts were not set in advance, so participants truly only had 24 hours to write and publish their works.
Unfortunately, I found out about the challenge after it had already started. Still, I managed to post a fan work every day, ending the challenge with 25 works.
Welcome to the brand new pent.blog!
When I tried to install Hugo (the software powering this website) on Windows a couple of months ago, I couldn’t get it to work. On Linux? No problems. First try. It just works! ™️ Unsurprising, I know.
I created this website because I was starting to accumulate up a bunch of tiny, unused static websites that could have been merged into one. From now on, I’ll just put my public writing projects here and organize them with tags.
About Me
Hi! I’m Tango (or Pent) and I’ve been writing and longform roleplaying for about 20 years now! I like doing shortform roleplay as well, but mostly enjoy elaborate story planning and the inclusion of multiple characters.
I tend to gravitate towards dark topics, but will avoid bringing them up with no warning or consensual planning. I enjoy writing adventure and found family bonding stories too, but am open to pretty much any genre.
Listen to mine verse as I recite a poem about the rising walls of Sharlayan whilst I cleanse thy body of corruption. The poem hath nothing to do with thine injuries, but is good to hear nonetheless.
