Dungeon Call Closes this Evening! (Eastern DST)

Oct9

My Dungeons & Caves Call is still open! But only for the rest of today.

This prompt call is all about captured men, enslaved men, kidnapped men, submissive men, trapped men.

Leave a prompt, and I will write a micro/flash-fic. Tip, and I will write more words – 100 per $1US tipped.

(The cuffs are the tip jar)

And the more money donated, the more I’ll write.

At $25, T. & I get take-out. Thai, I think, though it may be Indian. Reached! (It turned out to be Chinese. Mmm, shrimp-fried rice).

at $40, I will commission a piece of character art from a crowdfunded artist Reached!
(I will wait to see which story is most popular before commissioning a piece. Right now, “A Rescue of Sorts” is winning 😉

At $50, I will write an extra fic for everyone. One prompter chosen at random will get an extra 500-word story. Reached! (I will write these once I’ve written all the original stories!)

At $75, three prompters chosen at random will get an extra 500-word story written to their prompt Reached! (I will write these once I’ve written all the original stories!)

We’re at $83 as of this posting! Thank you, everyone!

At $100, three more prompters chosen at random will get an extra 500-word story.

At $120, I get a rug for my cave!

Go prompt, if you haven’t!

Other People’s Prompt Calls!!

Oct9

The Artist Formerly Known as the Writer in my Attic, K Orion Fray ([personal profile] kissofjudas, is having a prompt call – here. The theme is “Ghosts and Spirits.”
Prompting is free; tips buy story continuations.

And, in [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith‘s Tuesday Fishbowl, she wrote “The Age of Reasons” to my prompt. It hasn’t been sponsored yet, but it’s a lovely poem!

Scrum Wednesday Morning

Oct8

Work has been doing a scrum-style meeting every morning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(software_development)) for admin, so I thought I’d do something similar for me.

So, Yesterday I:
* Worked 8 hours, including a grocery run in the a.m. (which is also my home grocery shopping).
* Wrote 1168 words, including on two commissions and the giraffe call
* with T., stacked one wagonload (like this) of firewood
* took a 25-minute walk.
* oh, and did the cat litter

I found myself tired after work, so took after-dinner as a break-night and watched Dollhouse.

Jumping Rings: A Story of the Circled Plain – Chapter Eight

Oct7

 

Chapter Eight: Valran

Come

“Come.”

The female voice, again. Valran didn’t move.

“Come, Valran Servus. I am buying you.”

He risked looking up, now. It didn’t seem like the wisest idea, but there was something about her voice that demanded attention. So up Valran looked, into eyes like amber.

Keep reading on the webpage!

Scrum Tuesday Morning

Oct7

Work has been doing a scrum-style meeting every morning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(software_development)) for admin, so I thought I’d do something similar for me.

So, yesterday, I:
* Worked for 8 hours!
* wrote 1775 words, including a Giraffe Call prompt, a Genderfunky prompt, and parts of two Giraffe Commissions.
* made this:

//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
(which is a number chart for tracking food and exercising)
* hung my mirror in my bedroom (finally)
* hung my bulletin board in my cave to have a place to put the above velociraptor count
* with T, hauled and stacked one wagonload of wood into the house
* took a ~ 25-minute walk with T

Yay~

Just so you all know..

When I post “*GRIN*” in response to a comment, it’s because you’ve actually gotten a face-stretching happy-emotions-making grin out of me.

Thank you for all those times.

Pondering Patreon

Oct6

So [personal profile] clare_dragonfly has an awesome idea for a Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/clarekrmiller & I’m contemplating changing my model to be more similar to hers.

Thoughts?

Ideas?

I prefer to keep the patronage/reward monthly, rather than per-unit, in part ’cause my units are so darn small & constant & in part for more consistent income.

My current Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/aldersprig
