Tomorrow!
Fandom Forray. I’ve set aside tomorrow as a day for fandom writing. I’ll be working on Vassal again. (Drop off prompts for me over on Ko-fi! Umm… if you click on an image, it’ll let you leave comments.) And Unexpected will update before the day’s done. ::twinkle::
LMM 234: Once a Mother
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the newest Starmark.

Once a Mother
Sonnet blinked. “You don’t mean that.”
“I don’t mean it in the way you need it meant,” Jacques admitted. “But I love you in my way.”
His gaze dropped to his tea, but his ta...

ART: Unbraided
Quen & Kimi. Once I made the executive decision to leave Eloquence’s hair unbraided for this near-kiss, it became increasingly obvious that with his hair loose around his shoulders, Quen looks even more like his father. They’re both charmers in their own way. ::twinkle::

Mood Stripes 245: Curious
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the inquisitive one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 245: Curious
“So it’s my fault that your hand is in intimate territory?”
“Is it?” Sesshoumaru circled his fingers, exploring the texture of her scar.
Kagome wriggled and whispered, “That tickles.”
“Touch and taste are interesting. You are inter...

Fandom Foray
Friday, April 23. Go figure. As soon as I establish the 4th Saturday of the month for forays into fandom, I have to make an exception. There’s a Pokemon GO! event this coming Saturday, April 24. (Yay for Friendship Day!) So I’ve decided to host my Ko-fi event a day early. Look forward to new installments of Vassal throughout the day (11am – 5pm), and a finale in the form of an Unexpected chapter. Drop by early with prompt suggestions as I try to decide where Vassal will go next! ::twinkle:: ...
LMM 233: In Essence
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one with a story.

In Essence
“Old habit.” Sonnet fiddled with his teacup. “Are you an orphan? I have some experience raising orphans.”
“I’m afraid it’s far too late to bring me up properly.” Jacques sipped....

Chapter 244: Enhanced
When he remembered, she grew solemn. When he was pleased, her cheerfulness seemed to spring from his. Even his annoyance raised her ire. No matter how stony his gaze, she saw the truth.
On some level, Sesshoumaru was perturbed that Kagom...

Tea and Sympathy
Churlish muttered, “Welcome to Moonglade Tearoom.”
And walked out.
“He’s shy of newcomers,” Paltry said apologetically. “Especially those who come through the back do...

Goodreads Policy
New Policy. Goodreads librarians have just been given the go-ahead to cull titles from their archives if they are NAB (not a book). One of the prerequisites for being a book is having an ISBN or ASIN assigned. According to this new policy, any title that’s 1) not a book and 2) missing an ISBN/ASIN… can and will be deleted from their system. Unless it has reviews. Then, they’ll leave them in the system in order to preserve those reviews (although those titles will be swept off into a new NAB sect...
