Camp Nano & alpha readers?

Jul2

I’ve started on what will be my next Addergoole story for Camp Nano:

Fernley sh’Kendra and the Case of the Missing Orders

As if Fernley’s first year at the Addergoole School wasn’t going badly enough, suddenly his orders are going missing. Which would be fine, if that meant he didn’t still have to follow him. Or that his Master – and how had he ended up with a Master, anyway? – wouldn’t still get angry at him.

It’s going to be a long year if he doesn’t figure this out.

~~

My last line last night:

“Don’t worry.” The voice cooed over the chanting. “You won’t feel a thing. At least, not for long.”

~~

I’m not sure about the names. Current Kept/Keeper are Fernley/Fishel. I’m a lot less sure about Fishel than Fernley, but I’m not totally set on Fernley, either, esp. for a title character. Thoughts?

~~

And I could use ~3 alpha readers for this as well. Volunteers?

Ummmm so (flightrising)

Soar stared at the hatchlings. “Are they old enough yet?”

Serenade was no good at this mothering stuff, and, besides, she was sitting a nest right now. She let Shiver handle it.

“They’re not grown yet.” Her mate’s rumbling voice was very patient.

“When will they be grown?” The adolescent female’s voice, on the other hand, was not.

“Soon. You took a while to grow, too, you know.”

Soar stomped both front feet. “I want to fight in the Colosseeeeeum. Everyone else gets to fight.”

“Everyone else had to wait for their age-mates, too. Patience, Soar. It will come soon enough.”

“Not soon enough.” She stomped her feet again, sulking. Serenade turned back to her eggs. They would hatch soon enough, too.

July Nano – more feedback requested

Jun26

Okay, so I put up these two polls: shell poll Addergoole poll re. July Camp Nano and what-should-I-write.

Right now, “Second generation” is winning, which leads me to the next question:

Who in the second generation do you want to see?

(Answers can either be names or, say, “Jamian’s kids” or personality-type or upbringing-type descriptions)

July Camp Nano: A poll

Jun22

So, July’s almost here, and I’m planning of writing the next Addergoole episode as a 52,000-word novella during Camp Nano. The question is, which story?

I have four in mind, and will probably, eventually, write all of them:

Year 10: She wakes up in a hotel-like room underground, with no memory of who she is, who these people are, or what she’s doing there.

As the Apoc Falls: The world is falling apart, the gods are attacking – and they are still being sent away to boarding school?

Second Generation: Their parents went here. It can’t be that bad, can it?

Cynara’s School: It’s year fourty-three of the Addergoole school, and a bunch of Addergooe alum have built their own school.

Poll is in DW, or vote in the comments.
