LMM 58: Gifts for the Hostess

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.)  Indulge the lot of us, especially for the one who isn’t empty-handed.

Countdown to Songs 3

One More Week. Dragged through Hedgerows should be showing up for pre-order in ALL the places now, so go secure your copy of the next short story in the Songs of the Amaranthine collection. It’s another stand-alone story, but like the others, it’ll contribute to your knowledge of the clans and their customs.

As you may have gathered from the summary, this one’s much more contemporary. Here’s a teaser!

Have you read the other Songs of the Amaranthine titles? Here’s a friendly reminder every author’s ranking depends in large part upon their readers’ reviews. Even a sentence or two would be greatly appreciated. ::bow::

LMM 56: Kidnapper

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine.

LMM: Goals

Eight Hundred. If I were to carefully spin out Lord Mettlebright’s Man so that it reaches 800 chapters, it would be the perfect length to create a print edition. These drabbles may well become your eyes on behind-the-scenes events at Stately House (or at least those that interest Jacques) over the course of the main series. Expect future time skips as our brazen butler tries to keep up.

Grand Opening!

Threadless. It’s official. Twinkle Press has a storefront on Threadless, and we chose today (my fanniversary) as opening day. We kicked off with a few things: T-shirts, mugs, and tote bags. We’ll probably be adding new designs at regular intervals. Brainstorming has been fun. (Feel free to suggest stuff!)

Cheese and Crackers Tee

Fun Fact: I wroted that m’self. Verrah proud.

Camphor & Kouki

New Chapter! As part of my fandom anniversary celebrations, I decided to update Camphor & Kouki, which is a crossover between My Neighbor Totoro and Mushishi. I don’t update it nearly as often as I could if I wasn’t … y’know … writing the Amaranthine Saga & Songs of the Amaranthine stories. ::shifty eyes::

Camphor and Kouki by FORTHRIGHT

Summary: Ginko regrets using the Uroana as a shortcut. He’s having trouble pinpointing where he’s come out, and he’s at a loss on how to get back. But in the meantime, perhaps he can do some good. A trail of acorns, a camphor tree, two sisters, a mushishi, and a highly unconventional mountain master.

Kagome, Kagome

FanArt. I just rummaged through my folders. You wouldn’t believe how much fanart I have. Some sketches. Some portraits. Everything in between and in every kind of style. I still remember the breathless joy I felt over my first gift of art in fandom. And I’ll still always be amazed when my stories inspire the stuff. Here’s a fun set. You know these AUs, amiright? ::twinkle::

Fandom Anniversary

Est. 2006. My first foray into fiction writing happened (rather appropriately) with a drabble. Posted to fanfiction.net on this day thirteen years ago, My Hero! makes today a milestone day. I count it as my fandom anniversary. Over the years, I’ve made it my tradition to kick off or update stories on this day.

Just for You by lila-me

Forthright by lila-me

Planning to post fun stuff today.
Just me goofin’ off. Same as always.

Play fair. Have fun. Be nice.
