*groan* just as long as he/she e has good milage and is a comfortable ride, I don't think people are going to mind about his/her junk. :)

Bender in Futurama became a Werecar in one episode. That's close.
never have the words "honk honk" been more frightening. hehe
If you enjoyed the picture of Aquarius, I am pleased to inform you that a picture of his mate Comet will be arriving in the near future. :)
Another 568 words done. It was a tough scene to write, even though I have imagined it a thousand and one times :)-
“Hello Varron. Or should I say ‘Your Highness’.” Caleb’s voice sounded a little more resentful than he intended, but he didn’t feel in the mood to apologise.
Varron’s face dropped to the floor.
“I was going to tell you,” he said, his voice a faint whisper of its former volume.
“When?!” Caleb said bitterly. “When I visited your parents in their platinum encrusted holiday villa, or when I would be asked to attend a royal ball with no idea of how to behave?”
The genie raised his head, and looked at Caleb with his eyes flooded with tears.

I believe the politically correct term for all is Merson. ;P
Nice art, Calvin!
Thanks Christina. :) I'm very grateful to the artists to agreed to draw them. :)
It's fair to say I shattered my personal word count record today.2,342 words. :D
-
“I’m sorry father …. I’m sorry that I am not strong enough to be your son.”
Sensing the danger was no longer present, Ceispen placed his hand on his son’s shoulder once more.
“Varron Osiris Sevarine. You are my only son, and I couldn’t have wished for a stronger man to carry on the legacy of our family than you. You have burdened more than you should ever have had to endure, and I couldn’t be more proud of you than I am right at this moment.”
“I know that my Hiraeth would agree with every word I have spoken, and I know that someday, you will be one of the wisest kings the Northern Kingdom has ever known.”
Ceispen opened his arms, and pulled his son against his chest.

Another excellent day today :)2,211 words :D
-
“I wish that you would forgive me for breaking your heart.”
Varron looked up at his Hiraeth, and saw the man was smiling widely. Varron snapped his fingers, but released no magic with it.
“Your final wish has been granted.” Varron said, looking at Caleb as if he were the centre of his world.
Knowing he would have only seconds to spare, Caleb wrapped his arms around the genie, and brought their lips together with a passionate kiss. Varron opened his lips wide, allowing Caleb to enter his mouth with his wonderful tongue. Time seemed to be frozen for a moment, until they heard a gut wrenching scream shatter the silence of the room.

Wrote another 618 words tonight. :)-
“When all this is over, I hope that we can live happily ever after,” Caleb said, as they walked the remaining distance to the front door of the dormitory.
Varron turned to the witch, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“Even if we don’t, I will be happy as long as I can live with you.”
Blushing the colour of a rose in the middle of summer, Caleb opened the door to the dormitory, and followed by the two royal genies, he stepped inside to retrieve his belongings.

Great job!
C.B. wrote: "I can't be wait to be done editing so I can challenge you to a word off! :DGreat job!"
Thanks C.B. Got another 500 or so words done today. :)
Awesome progress Calvin!I'm in the same boat as CB... I'll do a work challenge too once I'm free! I think my best ever was ~6000, but that was well plotted and well rooted in my head. There was no stopping to think.
Ah, the dreaded editing phase!
Wow, I've done a hat trick this month by breaking my personal word count record once again!2,557 words :D
This sample is set before Caleb and Varron have learned each other's names.

“Maybe someday, I’ll get a place that will make me feel like I’m worth something,” he said in an ironic tone.
“Why would you need to feel more worthy than you already are?”
Caleb jumped at the voice that wasn’t his own, and almost fell out of the window because of his surprise. Standing over by the bed, was the very genie he had been dreaming about. He had a warm smile upon his face, and seemed to be outwardly shining because of his own inner happiness.
“Wha… What are you doing here?” Caleb asked, lifting himself out of the window.
The genie gave an even wider smile.
“I promised you that I would come and visit you again, don’t you remember?”
Caleb blushed in spite of himself.
“I do, but I didn’t think you were serious. You’ve probably got a million and one things to do now that you’re no longer locked in that bottle.”
“I could be doing many things, but right at this moment, I would rather be here with you.”
Not quite as impressive as yesterday, but I wrote 356 words today. :)
But you wrote, and that's awesome. Good to you to break your record!

Wow, I only meant to do a few paragraphs, and I wrote 1,444 words today. :) This brings my total up to 15,486 words. :)-
Now that he remembered the story of his father’s meeting, Varron’s confidence that he could build a life with Caleb was beginning to peak. He hoped that the witch would return his feelings of love, but as the lion shifter turned genie king had stated himself many times before, a wish made in vain, led to nothing but pain.

Caleb half considered calling security up to deal with Aquarius, but somehow he didn’t believe that the man was faking his lack of memory. Besides that, the witch had learned that it was far safer to believe the words of a lunatic, than to place the truth in his tortured vision.
Taking a breath, he explained everything that had happened and how the merman had been behaving. When Caleb had finished, Aquarius looked distinctly confused.
“I really did all of those things?”
Caleb nodded his head.
