I write a lot. Some of this is because I like writing drabbles and short fic; 250 words isn't that hard to pop off.

Much of my writing is in established settings; those that don't have landing pages will soon.

These include:

Stranded World (LJ Link), modern fantasy seen through the eyes of 4 siblings who work the webs of the world, each in their own way.
Reiassan (LJ Link), high fantasy in a world just recovering from centuries of battle.
Tir na Cali (LJ Link); technically modern fantasy, alternate-history timeline, primarily lifestyle-kink erotica.
Faerie Apocalypse (LJ Link), a dystopic modern and post-modern fantasy/apoc world. Faeries and gods live among us, disguised as humans, their culture underground.
Vas' World (LJ Link): the team was sent to explore the planet for colonization. They could never have guessed what they'd find.
Dragons Next Door (LJ Link)is a fun high-fantasy-in-the-burbs setting with a few good-with-ketchup crunchy dark bits.
(without landing pages so far:)
Facets of Dusk (LJ Link) is a mystery waiting to be revealed; come along for the show!
The Planners (LJ Link): When the Apocalypse came, they were prepared. Very Prepared.
Unicorn/Factory (LJ) of the costs of progress.
The Aunt Family (LJ) - a mysterious family with some very strange magical artifacts.
Space Accountant (LJ) All Genique wanted was a nice vacation.
Shadow Rebellion (LJ) It all started with the shadows moving...
Science! (Lj) Why haven't Mad Scientists taken over the world yet?
Setting Nursery - these one-off stories may blossom into settings some day (incomplete)

All of my writing here is crowdfunded and crowdsourced; comments and suggestions keep the gears spinning and donations keep the power on.
My Donor landing page is here (and on LJ); you can tip (tips go in a general pool to sponsor longer stories, voted on monthly), sponsor an already-written story, or commission a story to be written.

Once a month I open up a call for prompts; the Giraffe Call's landing page is here and on LJ.

I hosted a 30-days of flash fiction meme: its landing page is here (LJ Link)

I have been published:
An Electric Tragedy
Addergoole, my ongoing webserial

Continuing flash series! I'm going to write one flash for every Icon I have, over 4 LJ accounts, 1 DW, and a whole bunch of not-currently-in-use, until I get bored or run out of icons.

Today's icon:

Shooting Star

Icon by later_tuesday

Yeah, the first one of the Asteroid-hits took us by surprise. I mean, shooting stars didn't hit the earth that hard very frequently, and when they did - crater, some rock, that was it.

Nobody expected there to be sentient life, not in that first one. And, because the government did a quick and thorough job of covering it up (I know, I was there), the rest of the world wasn't expecting the second one, either, or the third.

So... Last weekend was awesome.

I feel guilty about that, because I still miss Drake. It's hard to even look at his things without sniffling. But this weekend was still really good, and I think that's okay.

First: there was a small wine festival about 40 minutes out of town (At the local ski resort, which was clever of them). We drank lots of wine and had lots of fun and bought a couple bottles - and I may not be allergic to goat wool!

We stopped on the way home at our favorite bulk store, got roast beef and cheese and pasta, and stopped at two plant stores and the beer store for plants and olive oil, then came home to a dinner of shrimp with olive oil, blue cheese crumbles, tomato and pasta. Nom.

Between Saturday and Sunday, we planted acorn squash, leeks, leeks, leeks, flowers, and two raspberry bushes, worked on the dresser, weeded,... oh, yeah, planted peas... and generally spent a lot of time outdoors playing in the yard. Awesome weekend. Absolutely awesome.

So kuroseishin is doing an Icon sale (which go check out) and I realized I don't have a description for Ciara yet or her Change.

Anybody picture her at all?

I think she's petite, and I think she's of the family line (Fridmar) that turns colors with the Change.

All right. She's a daughter of Fridmar. She's short-by-my-standards, 5'4" or so, and resembles Miroslava Duma, especially in this set of pictures.

We don't know much about her except that she bakes, she's been training in combat, and she's polite and likes lists (sounds like someone I know).

I think her Change turns her into a deep nut-brown elf-girl. She gets a bit slenderer and a lot taller (8" taller), her ears go long and pointy, her eyes go tiger-eye, and her hair gets veins of lighter brown like a rock.

...She is Taro's half-sister maternally!

Addergoole is a school in the faerie apocalypse universe, as well as a subsetting and the name of the web-serial set there. Teenagers sent away to boarding school learn that, not only is the school not what they expected, but neither they nor their parents are either.

When Evangaline's Aunt Asta dies, Evangaline inherits the house, its mysterious artifacts, and the family mantle of Aunt.

Meanwhile and 4 decades earlier, Asta's Aunt Ruan is dealing with the mess left by another aunt, and struggling against taking on the Aunt title herself.

And in the present, while Evangaline deals with her Aunts' legacy, her niece Beryl struggles with the idea that she will, in time, be the next Aunt.

"The Aunt Family" is contemporary fantasy; Ruan's story is taking on elements of steampunk as well.

Late Autumn, 315 Post-Conflict

For the entirety of my decade as a scholar in the Tower, I studied Ancient Cultures. The Ancients division of the Library is one of the largest, and it is an intensive field of study.

However, the problem with Ancient Cultures is that, almost to a one, they are Ancient and thus gone, lost in the Conflict or long before that. One can read about them endlessly, theorize, study, hypothesize, but one can not actually visit these cultures. In many cases, one cannot even visit their ruins.

After Rediscovering the City, from the January Giraffe Call.

It was the job of a lifetime. My lifetime. My apprentices' lifetimes. And the handsome scientist from SUNY Geneseo with the blue, blue eyes - his lifetime, too.

The City out of Nowhere was becoming the state project. More than that, it was a state revitalization. The Parks Service had, after a good deal of arm-wrestling with every other department and bureau in the state (as well as a bunch of three-letter-acronyms), claimed the city, set up a perimeter, and started regulating who could go in and out.

Lucky me, as a stonemason, I got to keep going in. The place was in pretty good shape, for its age, but it needed work, a lot of work, and my team had already surveyed most of it. So we stayed.

We stayed while the tourists came, while the photographers and the paper-writers and the linguists came. Us, and then the pipefitters, and the landscapers, and the bricklayers. And the brains. And the scientist from SUNY Geneseo with those stupid blue eyes.

Head Coverings:

I *like* head coverings. But I can't imagine the faith of the Callennan as I've been thinking of it having a head-covering modesty thing going on.
On the other hand, the North of Reiassan is *cold*

It had gotten to the point where Bobbie could barely remember home. Home that wasn't the tower, at least, home that had, if he closed his eyes and really, really, thought hard, four straight walls and a straight roof and, possibly most importantly, an exit. Several of them, including the bedroom window he'd snuck out of more than once... but maybe one time too many.

That, that, he remembered very vividly. Sneaking out his window, slinking along the fence line, down to his buddy Jack's place, and then, the grip like a hand holding him armpits to hips, the sudden sensation of being pulled off his feet.

And then... and then there was the tower. He wasn't very clear on how he'd gotten in here, but there was certainly no getting out. Not alive, at least.

When he'd first woken up, Bobbie had looked out the window and thought dumbest kidnapper ever. This is a giant tower- later he'd learn it was one of five giant towers -out in the middle of a field. My folks will find me in no time.

He didn't know how long ago that had been, but it had been quite a while, and, for some reason, nobody seemed to find the giant towers in the middle of a field. Maybe they weren't looking. Maybe they'd set him up.

Somebody knew he was here. Food came up by basket three times a day. (He'd tried escaping that way, only to discover that he didn't fit in the basket chute, and that trying meant he didn't get food for two days), and books, and learning materials, books, games, anything he asked for. Anything except an exit.

Somebody was keeping him here for a reason. Bobby paced the confines of his cell once again, and wondered - not what the reason was, not this time. This time, he wondered if he was going to regret knowing, when he finally found out.

"So what are you going to do about it?" Summer had stolen away from her boyfriend and girlfriend for a few minutes; she liked having them, liked them a lot, but she missed Basil. And, as it turned out, Basil had missed her, too.

"I don't know." He threw his show into his laundry hamper, the second one following soon afterward, and huffed out air. "I didn't think this was going to be the hard part of dating."

"Yeah. It always is."

Tír na Cali

The Tír na Cali setting features high fantasy and erotica in a modern, alternate-history, North America.

In this world, the West Coast seceded from the United States in the midst of the Civil War, in a move set in place almost a century before by an extended family of witches.

These witches, who had spent almost a millennium in hiding, had immigrated to the United States en masse, and from the East Coast to the West, to set up a new empire. They recreated their new nation, Tír na Cali, as a hereditary monarchy with themselves at the helm.

In this world, the US never lost its puritanical sheen, in direct response to the licentious nature of their enemy to the West, the Californians. And the Californians, who hold power in part due to the royal family’s psychic powers, continue to steal young adults from the US to serve as their slaves.

Hello!

Addergoole, my webserial of three-plus years, is coming to an end by mid-June, and I am beginning to contemplate ideas for a new serial.

The plan is for an episodic, season-based one-year run, with an option for renewal for a second year, and one long episode a week for 52 weeks.

My current ideas include:

* Steam-Reiassan, set in the world of Rin & Girey but several centuries in the future.
* Addergoole Year 9, set 4 years after the current serial
* Facets of Dusk
* Something Space Opera
* Something involving someone f-to-m genderswapped
