When the marking was done, she pulled the gag out of his mouth and wiped his brow. “Shall I continue, or is it your turn?”
He licked his lips and worked his jaw. “Is there a right answer?”
“You still own me,” she reminded him.
“Then I’ll take over again.”

I may go forward with the suggestions listed here in the future and, for example, do Febumantau and put forth compound words. But for today, I want to talk about fire.
Fire: apa
This word has two thing of note:
First, it begins with a vowel, indicating that it’s of the third (first? zeroth?) gender: beyond use. Very few things in the world (the current list can be found here), but fire is considered by the Cālenyena (or at least by the proto-Cālenyena) to be one of those awesome things of the world that is simply always there.
Secondly, it has nothing to do with the god of fire and blood that the Cālenyena worship in the time of the story, Veignevar.
This is because the Cālenyena have had fire for a much longer time than they have had these three god. Fire dates back longer than any history, while the god Veignevar is a loan-god from the Bitrani.
What’s more, the god Veignevar is actually a combination (Maybe he’s a portmanteau!) of at least three proto-Bitrani gods.
Which is a story in and of itself…

Well, I didn’t make it to 25 by the end of the month.
Is there interest in me finishing the journey, or should I go back and edit/flesh out?
She stroked him slowly for a moment, enjoying he way he shivered.
“I belong to you.” She smacked his thigh with the back of her hand. “You bought me. She pinched the soft meat on the inside of his leg. “And that was what was supposed to happen.” She slapped his ass, hard. He groaned, little grunting noises, around the toy in his mouth.
She punched him in the kidneys. “I am yours.” She grabbed his hair and yanked his head back. “I belong to you. You’ve claimed me.” She ran her nails down his back. “Entirely. Forever. Damn you.”

He’d stopped making sounds. She peeled his eyelid back to be sure he was still conscious; he blinked back at her.
“Yours,” she repeated. “And you are never going to forget it again.”
“Mm-mmrg?” He sounded groggy.
“Again. Now. Hold still.”
He tugged on the ropes. She ignored his wordless commentary and dug in his bags again. “Somewhere… here.” It was a good thing she had him tied up. “This is going to hurt.”
She had a design in mind, and a location. The needle and ink weren’t designed for this, but they worked. “The princess of Al-ben, indeed.”

crowdfunding here asking:
What cyberfunded creativity projects have you recently donated to or participated in as a fan? What have you viewed? What prompt calls have you sent inspiration? What made them special enough to attract your support?
What do you want that you haven’t been seeing, or would like to see more of? Do you have ideas that you want to prompt, but aren’t sure what creator would be a good match for them?
Go check out the post!

“So,” she purred. “is that what I should do? What should I do?”
(Author’s note. Okay, I’m tired, and these two choices are very similar. So: we can go on to painplay, and after that to either enemas or mechanical/technological, or rough body play and then either enemas or tattoos. And I’m not sure what the different is between pain play and rough body play in this situation.)
Soooo…
He, of course, couldn’t answer. She found that appropriate.
“Well, then. Let’s see what I can do, before we sit down to breakfast.”
“Mm-mmmfst?!”
“Breakfast.”

She started with his toes.
She caressed his feet. “I should have bathed you first.”
“Mmmmm.”
“Ticklish, are you?” He squirmed violently against the ropes. “yes, you are. Lovely.” She rubbed up to his ankles. “Old scars, too. You’ve had a fun life, haven’t you, Master?”
“Mmmm.”
“You can tell a lot about a man from his feet. From his ankles.” She pushed the rope aside to study the scars.
“Mmmm!”
“They’re lovely ankles.” She caressed his calves. “Lovely feet. If you were mine, I might cane them.” She pinched his ankle gently. “What would you think of that?”
“Mmmm!”

Questions from moonwolf
1. Why did you start writing Addergoole?
Hrrm. That’s convoluted.
Steps: A friend introduced me to Tales of Mu.
I had been writing for a while by then.
And I wanted to share my writing with other people.
Web-fiction seemed like a brilliant idea.
Then it was a matter of – well, then, what should I write?
I had the Tír na Cali setting. I wanted something sexy, because Mu was so sexy. But Tír na Cali suffers from some really horribly shallow worldbuilding. So that wouldn’t work.
So… what if I just changed a few details?
And then Addergoole was born.
2. What’s your favourite thing about crowdfunding?
Immediate feedback! I can tell what works, and what doesn’t work!
3. If you could pick any of your verses to live in, which would it be and why?
Ack! I like writing dystopias… not so much living in them!
I think Facets, if I could be on the team. Or another team, but I really like Cole.
Or Stranded. Stranded would be nice.
4. What magical power would you love to have?
Teleportation teleportation teleportation
5. If you suddenly got sucked into an RPG which one would it be and what sort of character would you be?
Addergoole RPG?
Urrrrrrm
I really don’t know that one.
