The game's not out yet; it's in kickstarter. But it looks really fun—a gonzo space opera setting, elective monarchy politics IN SPACE—the creator's several kickstarted games have all apparently came out when she said they would, and I did like Long Live the Queen a lot. So! Excitement. And icons.

Facts: (Unique Town/City Names)

Pennsylvania :

Asylum Township - French aristocrats moved from Haiti to the town, and stayed there until Napoleon let them back in France. (Yup, a bunch of rich people hiding from their government.)

Bird-in-Hand - According to legend, two road surveyors discussed whether they should stay at their present location or push onward to the township of Lancaster. One of them supposedly said, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." (The town, though relatively small, has an interesting history filled with Quakers, Swiss Mennonites and the Railroad.)

I’m slacking on these post posts but here is a link to my [community profile] unconventionalcourtship fic:

You Can Find It on Craigslist (1020 words) by merryghoul
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: World Wrestling Entertainment
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Rhea Ripley/Shirai Io | IYO SKY
Characters: Rhea Ripley, Shirai Io | IYO SKY
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Magic, Witches, Craigslist, Movie Night, mentions of other wrestlers, Movie: Terrifier (2016), Mild Gore

Summary: Iyo Sky is in a precarious position for a witch--isolated from her coven and regretting a lot of her choices. Keeping herself from her sisters is the only way she can protect them from a threat only she knows is coming. Iyo bides her time until she's able to distract herself with a job offer from Rhea Ripley. Handsome, surprisingly sweet and filthy rich, Rhea needs Iyo's expertise. Spoiler alert: The solution is almost always late night snacking and smooching.

Write Every Day Day 1

Hello everyone. My usual followers have been warned about me double posting most days (and invited to join us) so for those of you coming in for WED, I just want to say I'm an active blogger so you will probably have to skim past my daily posts to find the WED post (but hey feel free to read and comment if something I'm saying interests you) and on Sundays I tend to do a writing post anyhow. I'm going to try to post these around Midnight because otherwise they'd go up late (oh for Dreamwidth to have a scheduling post process)

As for me I have so much writing I need to be doing. I have two more original short stories I should be working on. Fanfic wise I still have two stories for [community profile] wipbigbang to finish, my [community profile] fandomtrumpshate story, my [community profile] intoabar story to start and my series for [community profile] getyourwordsout yahtzee challenge.

If you're not familiar with Write Every Day let me share a modified version of the sticky post [personal profile] zwei_hexen created for the community

What is the Write Every Day challenge?
Write Every Day is just what its name says: We challenge each other to write, every single day. Our goal is to encourage one another and provide the accountability and/or motivation that some of us find very useful in keeping the words flowing. However, there's no obligation and no pressure, and if writing didn't happen for you on any given day, there won't be any judgement, just support and sympathy!

Who can participate?
Everyone is welcome! We’re an open-minded, nonjudgmental group of people who enjoy writing.

What do I have to do?
We’ll post each day with a little bit about our writing and a running tally of participants. All you need to do is drop by the comments on the most recent tally entry to let us know how you’re doing. Please know that you are never obligated to check in. Also, if you'd like to comment on someone else's comment but aren't checking in for yourself, that's perfectly fine too. We're really easygoing 'round here, and conversation is absolutely encouraged.

Is there a word limit or quota?
Nope. Write as little as an “alibi” sentence (just what it sounds like—a sentence you write to say you’ve written, an alibi for the day, as it were) or as much as you’d like. All word counts are welcome!

Is there any restriction on the kind of writing I can do?
Absolutely not! Fanfiction, original fiction, screenplays, blog posts, meta, academic writing, morning pages, reviews, editing, letter-writing, nonsense poems, bucket list: if it feels like writing to you, it counts!

Do I have to participate all the time?
No way! You can come and go at your pleasure.

Because I'm too ill to do anything witty. My sugar went up 325 after breakfast (just eggs and bacon no carbs) by 4 pm it was down to 70 and I was shaking/sweating so I had to take sugar. After dinner my sugar was too high to register on my glucose monitor so it was over 500. I should have gone to the hospital. Now it's back under 400. There aren't words to describe how awful this feels. I'm so tired of this. Might be time to go to a research endocrinologist if I can find one. (and I'm worried about Mom her sugar is also that high thanks to meds and woke up to her dead brother holding out his hand to her. That is not the kind of dream that is going to make me sleep easy tonight)

So here's May's readings. How is it June tomorrow? Speaking of which here's the reminder that the write every day posting is going to start after midnight.

Trouble the Water horror

Word count for the month is about 8.6K, bringing my total for 5 months to 50K, so I'm on target for this year's goal.

[community profile] whatif_au bingo continues to provide inspiration: Sports square -  First Match of the Season (Hamlet/Julius Caesar); Regency - The Unexpected Invitation (The Hobbit); Crack - Madness, and Very Little Method (Hamlet - paperclip AU).  The last was also written for [community profile] ushobwri New Frontiers challenge.

Also for the New Frontiers challenge, I wrote A Thrill of Hope which is also for rewrite-a-fic, a challenge in which author's rewrite older fics of theirs.  In my case, I took two Spooks (MI5) ficlets, told from Lucas' POV and rewrote them from an OC's (Pamela) viewpoint.

For [community profile] intoabar I had Miss Marple meets Carabosse from Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty: An Encounter in a Tea Shop

And [community profile] allbingo held a Colour Fest: The Curate's Education  Part of my ACD Holmes Sussex retirement series.

hello? i got ripped up by my own brain?
i was having a Fantastic dream this morning
dreaming that i was sleeping in a room not my own when suddenly a beam of light came from a hole in the ceiling
you know how tiny holes can act as a lens? yeah
this one played tiny short movies in black and white across the bedsheets
animation was a bit choppy but every short had a different style
there was minimalist drawing
there was freaking 90ties shoujo
there was Berserk??
and so many more
but
i forgot almost every detail once i woke up
because my brain replaced them by another dream about freaking menu lists
(who cares about menus? i have a written memo in the waking world for menus and grocery lists! so i don't have to use my brain space for that! give me back the dream art!!!)

Facts: (Unique Town/City Names)

Oregon :

Sublimity - A settler named James Denny suggested the name because of the fine vista and sublime scenery in the hills around the town. (After looking at images of the town and the surrounding area... I agree with. Stunning would also work.)

Boring - Named after William Harrison Boring and is the sister-city of Dull, Scotland and Bland, New South Wales, Australia. Gravity Falls and Everything Sucks is based on the city. (Hmm, I have never seen either of the shows, but the city is beautiful.)

Weird lights

I was downstairs in the game room talking to [personal profile] evil_little_dog and I noticed that over the bar where my parents have hanging glasses (like at some real bars) and it's backlit. That's new. I didn't think much of it until I turned off the lights and it didn't go off. Nor did it go off when I left the bar (thinking it might be motion activated) so I go up and ask Dad (he put them in. he was an electrical engineer) and he's like how did they get on? I expected I accidentally hit one of the switches but no, this is on a separate little controller. You couldn't accidentally hit this. We have no idea how it got turned on. Weird.

You're getting a two-fer for fannish 50 today. First up, have I mentioned I'm a fan of plants? I suspect many of you could guess I love plants from my posts. Well I escaped the house to go to one of the three local greenhouses because I needed herbs (and mom is also sick with bronchitis, sorry Mom so she didn't come). There I am, unsupervised in a greenhouse/farmer's market.

Long story short, I got cinnamon basil, bonsai basil, regular basil, lemon thyme, Italian parsley, zucchini and a flower, a torenia. And then they had free tomato six-packs that you could take one. Come with me early girls (not my favorite but hey free). I am a happy girl with all my new plants that I have no idea where I'm putting them.

In good news, my busted open toe is finally sealed over (a week after the fact) I am relieved. It's not red, not swollen so I think I'm past the danger zone.

So let's move on to the rest of the fannish 50, stories and art! I have a story for you this week myself




Title: Holding Out For a Hero

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel


Summary: Even Pentious might have been impressed with Angel’s new steampunk movie and Angel would give anything to be able to make a sequel. That would mean Pentious and his airship were still alive and he wouldn’t be mourning a friend. Worse, the Vees want to capitalize on his pain and force him to betray the friends he still has.

Rating: teen and up

Author Note - Written for the Get Your Words Out Yahtzee challenge. I’m aiming for a large straight in which I have to write a linked story using all five prompts—all five prompts must connect to tell a united story. This is story number two and the prompt is curious. Since they are connected stories it would be better to start with number one.

Also written for the lyrical titles album challenge 2025 using the Footloose album and the song Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler.

Also written for the allbingo prompt of black and blue and for spikesgirl58’s six word challenge. The six words were Fate, Unpleasant, Captive, Colony, Anxiety, & Swap
