Cat puns explained
Jul. 26th, 2020 09:02 pmExplaining cat puns for non-native speakers. This is what I have so far; I'll make a proper post over at allthemiraculous after I recover from AnimeIowa, probably.
I'm being as thorough as possible here, so there's bound to be some that are really easy to pick up just from context, but I usually figure being thorough is better than leaving anything out. Anyway, here's what I have so far:

Short story idea for later
Jul. 6th, 2020 10:56 amFlyndon McFladden-Flavor* Denies His Deities For the Day
* Or some other highly alliterative name, probably staring with F or F-sounds. (Edit: Flendlemeyer? Hmm.)
Probable premise: Through a series of unlikely coincidences, Flyndon is the Chosen One of, like, seventeen different gods. Every single day is the religious observance of at least one of the deities he represents, and frequently more than one. Every once in a while, Flyndon takes a day for himself. (Usually the days that every single god has an observance.)

Fic tidbit
Feb. 12th, 2020 07:27 pmFinally came up with a series name for the little tidbits I sometimes write when folks throw prompts around: Prompt and Circumstance. So far only My Hope Lives in You is up, but I want to get that Oblivio Duo Meets Post-Oblivio Duo tidbit for flightfoot/keyseeker up as well, followed by this little bit of a thing prompted by sweetmeatdale/callmedale (though I gotta dig around and see if he posted the prompt for that one, or get the actual text from the Discord).
Speaking of that Oblivio + Post-Oblivio Tidbit...
( Just gonna stick this here for now kthx )
And now, that might be all the productive I have in me today. Still good to get this much done, though!

Six Sentence Sunday
Aug. 4th, 2019 08:03 pmThat thing where you share six sentences of whatever WIP on Sunday, because alliteration.
This one's for my upcoming Pod Together, which should be effectively done now, but I'm saying it counts. Under the cut, because Spoilers.

Jun. 6th, 2019 08:13 pmStarting point for Idea to Outline: Original Fiction Walkthrough:
Character A needs to find their True Love to break/subvert a curse, travels with Character B to find them.
(Spoiler alert, whether or not this was so at the start, Character A truly loves Character B by the end. Platonically? Romantically? Filially? In a QPR manner? Any of these will work to break the curse as long as A and B truly love one another!)
(I mean, NGL, I'm thinking romantic, but hell, I could also up and make it a group trip and Character A needs at least one of each Platonic, Romantic, and Filial True Loves, because Why the Hell Not.)
(Yes, this was inspired by a particular story in Ana Mardoll's No Man of Woman Born. You can probably guess which one, if you've read it.)

Another teaser
May. 7th, 2018 08:50 pmAnother sample from Metamour or Less, to try and see if anyone is interested in sensitivity reading for it. First sample can be found over here.

State of the fics
May. 4th, 2018 11:13 pmPart 3 of Him/Me/You/Her is going pretty well at the moment. It might be finished as early as tomorrow night, though I'll still probably want to wait a day or so after finishing it before posting, if only for editing's sake. It helps that I had it almost entirely blocked out before I was even half done with Part 2 9_9a
Part 2 itself was pretty well received, as far as I can tell. I really do want to have Part 3 out there sooner rather than later, since it ended more suspensefully than Part 1. I told myself from the beginning that I wouldn't post Part 2 until I had Part 3 almost ready to go, just because I knew when the break would happen, and also know in intimate detail how my attention span does (or rather, doesn't) work. I'll admit, I didn't expect to be mostly done with Part 3 before Part 2 when I made that plan, but if it works, it works.
I definitely want to dive back into Metamour or Less after I'm done with this. ( More info plus teaser )
I'd estimate the fic's around half done, with two-ish scenes left to be written, and some extra work to be done on the one in the middle. I am happy to talk about it, though, if anyone wants to know more :3
At any rate, Him/Me/You/Her needs to be finished first, but I'm excited about both of them, and also whatever comes after :3

Permission has been granted
Apr. 29th, 2018 06:04 pmSo I was gonna post this link with an explanation of what I'm using it for, but decided against it. Then I was going to make a private post with the link, because the main reason I'm posting it here at all is so I don't lose it again. But now I've decided to post the link publicly without any other context besides the tags below, because it amuses me to do so.

Story Idea
Feb. 18th, 2018 10:23 pmThis is probably more of an "I enjoy thinking about this" idea than an "I will actually sit down and write this one day" idea, but stranger things have happened.
The premise, in ten words or less: ( Fairy Godmother Gone Rogue )
