Prompts Call

[moonwolf1988.livejournal.com]

From today until the 23rd I'm having a prompts call for winter festival stories. Leave me a prompt and I'll write you 500 words, which will probably be set in one of my many collections. Donate for more words.

Category Managers Needed

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

Earlier I posted about preparing for the 2012 Rose & Bay Awards.  I'm willing to manage Poetry and Webcomics, categories where I'm not eligible for nomination.  We still need volunteers to manage Art, Fiction, Other Project, and Patron. 

Managers will need to post a poll for nomination in early January and then a poll for voting in early February, check to make sure nominees are actually eligible, announce winners, and generally keep an eye on things in their category.  It's not a lot of work if the categories are spread out over several people.  If you're active in crowdfunding, especially here in this community, please consider volunteering.

Also, start thinking about which projects you want to nominate.  Check your favorite projects to make sure they're readily identifiable as crowdfunding.  Check your own project(s) to make sure you've covered the 5 basic steps.  If not, it's still December so you have time to make any necessary changes.

Update Post

We have given up any attempt to do regular updates to any of the stories, but we have been busy writing and plotting and creating.

So, the story blog links are as follows and any new stories/chapters will (hopefully) be noted, with teasers presented. In the case of a couple of the newer stories, a brief description of the story will be presented.

Make A Wish Upon Tomorrow - this is the writing blog where I whine about things when I feel the need to. Ignore it if you want but all story links are here.

The Roman View/Titans' Travels - TT is a sequel to TRV. I really need to go in and clean up the way it links together, but you can navigate through the chapters. Most recent post is Chapter XXXVIII - Who's Kidding Whom?.

Teaser: What I had just been told threw out everything I had believed in, the philosophers taught, or the priests preached. Our whole concept of the world and our place in it would have to be rewritten. I really hadn’t wanted to hear Seth’s words but I was left with no choice it seemed.

Ashantara Chronicles is still on hiatus.

Other-Wheres and Other-Whens just had a dump of about four chapters. I am still playing catch-up to get what is done so far onto the site.

Enshannu: The Eternus Prophecy - Book One is a story I am writing mainly for my own amusement to give a background on my Second Life avatar. If you are curious she is a half-human/half-Drow Queen, her brother and sister, who are in exile. She is a skin changer - she can change from human to Drow at will, but she cannot change shape.
Warning - the first chapter is very graphic and is not recommended for minors or people who might be triggered by sexual violence.

Genesis Wars is a prequel to The Roman View/Titans' Travels and Ashantara Chronicles.

Teaser: Some mornings just don’t start out the way you hope they will. Those were some of the thoughts running through my tired brain on that particular morning. The morning it all began. What . . . ? Sorry, I should introduce myself. My name is . . . was . . . will be (I get confused sometimes) Amon-Ra. Yes, THAT Amon-Ra. Lord of Avalon and, as things turned out, a short sighted fool. For those of you in the distant future who might be reading this, I give you my heartfelt apologies. My kind never meant to go as far off plan as we did. Such an apology probably won’t do you any good if you’re reading this in a cave somewhere by the light of a fire pit. Anyway, back to my story.

I will probably also be putting a page up for a friend I met in Second Life who writes short erotic fiction. I find them delightful and quirky, you may not. I am trying to figure out how to put an age-verification link to the site, but if I cannot find such soon, I will be posting them with a disclaimer.
