Tuesday Tickle: Absolute Write Fundraiser: Red
We had so much fun with the Absolute Write fundraising anthology last year, we’ve decided to do four of them this year. They’re themed around colours: Red, Blue, Green, and Black. If you’re a member of AW and would like to submit a story for one of the anthologies, please check out the thread in the Erotica forum for more information.
I’m probably setting myself up for a lot of stress, but this year I decided to do a set of linked stories and pray they all get in. So, tonight’s Tickle is from my story for the first colour, Red. And it’s called, appropriately enough, Garnet.
Note: The song they’re discussing is Mack the Knife, which comes from early in the 20th century. And Garnet is, indeed, a female impersonator. Oh, and this is so first draft it’s a wonder you can’t smell the pixels, so there will be changes. Once I figure out what they have to be.
She was beautiful. He knew it was a guy dressed up like a girl, but aesthetically, she was lovely. The amount of time it must have taken to put that whole look together boggled his mind. As he got closer, his eyes stuck on the flex of muscle in her calf as she played with her shoe, slipping it on and off her heel with nothing more than a curl of her toes. He felt his mouth go dry and his hand twitched with a surprising urge to run his hand up that leg and under the long skirt.
He stopped beside her, but wasn’t daring enough to climb up onto the barstool in front of him.
“Hello,” she said with a friendly smile. “I wanted to thank you for the standing O.”
“You deserved it. That was a great rendition. What made you include the last verse?”
She laughed and turned back to her drink, swirling the blue liquid gently with her straw. “Doesn’t it describe our lives perfectly?” She took a dainty sip through the straw. “I mean, the people who get attention, the ones who get help, aren’t they the ones that are already in the limelight?” She smiled at him again and patted the seat beside her. “Rest yourself, sweetie. Do you like the drink?”
“Yes.” He hitched his hip up onto the stool and wiggled himself into place. “I was surprised by the no alcohol, but it doesn’t need it.”
She pointed her straw at his glass. “I don’t drink. That’s one of my creations.”
“Oh.” He took another sip. It really was quite good. “Does it have a name?”
Her eyes narrowed in amusement, then, with the most innocent of smiles, she said, “Garnet’s Cherry.”

Flashing the Internet, Updated Status
So, this flash fiction thing has gotten a bit of attention. We’ve got quite a few people signed up, enough to have more than one story posted each day from Valentine’s to the 20th. No, it’s not all House of Manlove, but you have to wait to find out who’s in it.
I finished the rough draft of mine this evening. Never let anyone tell you that flash is easy–it is, for sure, much harder than biochemistry. I’m still sweating with the effort of prying words out of it to get down somewhere near the word limit. People who do this on a regular basis have my utmost admiration.
I’ll post the schedule a little closer to the date, so it’s easier to find once it starts. But right now, I think I’m going to go collapse in a shuddering ball and recover. *whimpers*

Lol. This reminds me that I haven't added any words to Nathan and Vince's story in a few days. I'm going to get chittered at soon, if I don't get my act together.
Dear heavens, why do I see this showing up in a story someday?
Note: Sorry, I'm trying to fix it--Wordpress is being weird tonight. It is an awesome video.

An earworm and a funny
I’m not feeling well today, so I’m just going to leave you with this:
Not only is it an earworm, but how much fun must that have been? I love…well, would this be a parody? Not sure.
Anyway, here’s hoping things are on the mend tomorrow.

Tuesday Tickle: Bite Me (Later)
This is for someone who knows who he or she is. You have to wait for the rest of it, my dear.
Levi shifted himself back into human form, so ecstatic at finally getting rid of Jerry, he honestly didn’t care about the pain as his body rearranged itself. He was grinning widely when he pulled himself to his feet. A glance down told him he was filthy from head to toe, blood and mud and odd bits of forest cast-offs clinging to his skin.
And he didn’t give a shit. Jerry was dead. And this meant Levi was moving up in the pack.
The other wolves pulled away from him, even Trevor, when he went to pick up his clothes. Brushing absently at the dirt on his chest, he walked toward the chairs.
“Where do you think you’re going, pup?” Zachary snarled.
Phew! Found the typo before I hit publish. That’s a first.
