Mood Stripes 269: Boss
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the decisive one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 269: Boss
The hellish butterflies were bothersome, but no competition, so Kagome knew the inu-brothers were thrilled when their master showed up. She almost felt bad for stealing the show.
The arrow streaked from her bow and purified the enemy in an exp...

Pokemon GO!
Let’s Be Friendly. From time to time (usually when a challenge demands it), I remind my followers that 1) I play Pokemon GO! and 2) I prefer to friend my readers (rather than random strangers). If “gotta catch ’em all” is also one of your goals, don’t be shy. Drop me an email with your friend code, and I’ll happily add you.

LMM 293: Unifying Palette
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 who likes to splurge.

Unifying Palette
Early morning found Jacques returning to Randolla’s. “You’ll understand clothes’ appeal if they’re properly fitted.”
“I have clothes.”

Traditional Gift
Book Pins. One of my friends makes a point of always getting me an enamel pin to match the books I’ve written. With Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate releasing in less than a month, I thought you might enjoy seeing their pick. It’s a phoenix, of course.
Release Day: October 22, 2021
Have you pre-ordered your digital edition of Fumiko? I’ll be opening up pre-orders for signed copies on October 1. The audio book, narrated by Travis Baldree, will release on November 9, 2021.

Chapter 268: Capable
Kagome woke to Sesshoumaru’s voice. “We must go.”
“Hmm? Oh… morning…?”
“Hnn. We have attracted trouble.”
That woke her up. “Are we under attack? Where’s my bow?”
Sesshoumaru helped her up, and she quickly craw...

Himself
“Argent does not miss much,” remarked Deece.
“Did he know about Minx?” challenged Jacques.
“Maybe…?”
“I mostly steer clear of Himself,” admitted Nonny.
“He’ll...

Fanniversary Totes
Two New Patterns. We’ve added two new patterns to the Twinkle Press shopfronts in honor of my fandom anniversary. One is ninja themed, to celebrate News Hound & Cub Reporter. The other borrows imagery from the cover of Cross & Crosser, which published last year [IY x Amaranthine Saga crossover]. Links to my shops on Threadless and TeePublic are on the SHOPS! page >>
LIVE Recording
Travis Baldree will begin soon. He’ll be creating the audio book for Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate (Amaranthine Saga, #5) LIVE on his Discord server: Cryptid Audio. I’m there. Join if you dare! ::twinkle::
Cub Reporter [Naruto]
Fanniversary Special. It’s been 15 YEARS since I posted my first fanfic! ::confetti toss:: During my 2020 milestone, just for fun, I posted the first two chapters of my first Naruto fanfic, and when that story wrapped up, I promised a sequel for this year’s fandom anniversary. So here we are! If you haven’t read News Hound, do that first, because Cub Reporter takes place close on its heels. This fanfic will update on Wednesdays.
Summary: Sequel to News Hound. Iruka reaches the meeting po...
