Happy 2018, everyone!
May it give us what we want and may we have the strength to reach for our goals.
May it throw us no curveballs we can’t handle and may we handle those we’re thrown with grace.
May we hear opportunity when it knocks and not hide under the bed.
💛 💚 💙 💜 ❤️
Written to Ganet’s prompt:
a package arrives in the mail the day after New Year’s. (Or more mysteriously, on New Year’s Day.)
Mail didn’t usually arrive on federal holidays.
Heck, in Caroline’s neck of the woods, mail barely arrived at all.
But there it was, the mail van pulling up, the package sliding into the box.
Caroline checked her phone, her computer, and the TV (Which was playing an endless stream of “best of”) to be sure, but yes, it was New Year’s Day. And yes, there was a package sticking out of her mailbox.
She walked down the driveway, donning three coats and two pairs of mittens, boots over two pairs of socks, and two hats, to get there. Continue reading

Waking up with no memories and a pamphlet explaining you have been given a fresh start in life

He woke.
He was in a room with a bed, a small table holding a suitcase and a bag, and a mirror; two doors and a window led out of the room.
He knew all those things, but he had no idea how he’d gotten there.
He had no idea who had gotten there. Continue reading
I was working on the Dragons Next Door landing page, and I found another one of those for-sponsorship stories, so…
Happy New Year!!
In putting together the Planners Landing Page, I found a story I’d written and offered for sponsorship way back in 2013.
Since that has never, ever worked, I opened it up to the public, so here you go:
First: Slaves, School
Previous: Getting to Know…

It took Desmond, Jefshan, and, to his surprise, Wesley, all working together, to get the group back on track. “Desmond can go exploring the spare stairs tomorrow on his own time. Right now, we’re working on getting to know our collars, remember?”
It wasn’t a rousing endorsement, but a pointed reminder from Jefshan about exactly how bad their collar rapport class had been got Kayay coming up with a question, and they were back to doing round-robin questions. Continue reading

Rose was finding the people in Addergoole a little bit strange.
Yes, there were bullies, and yes there were nerds, or at least a few people in a little clique that she thought were probably nerds.
But on the other hand, there weren’t what she could read as popular kids, there were no sports, there wasn’t even a Math Olympiad or a Chess club – people seemed to group by their suites or their boyfriends/girlfriends or just not choose to clique up. Continue reading
To an anonymous Leopard (Rix’s) prompt during my Live Writing Wednesday. I hope I got the prompt right, since I lost it in a chat delete.
Fae Apoc, probably early post-apoc

“I owe you one.”
If there were words Uršula less wanted to be saying, she couldn’t think of them.
“Yep, you do.” Continue reading
I am moving all my landing pages to a mostly-self-updating format on WordPress!
This is slightly more work than it sounds like, if I don’t want just lists of 1000 stories in no order. 🙂
And this would not be possible without the work Inspector Caracal is doing in sorting out all my tags and categories!
I have, between yesterday and today, updated/made anew the following pages:
150 words of the story/world of your choice for anyone who finds a story or worldbuilding post that has been posted in one of those worlds on Dreamwidth but did not make it to these lists.
(Because I’m lazy, that’s why 😉 Continue reading
