Quen & Kimi. Once I made the executive decision to leave Eloquence’s hair unbraided for this near-kiss, it became increasingly obvious that with his hair loose around his shoulders, Quen looks even more like his father. They’re both charmers in their own way. ::twinkle::

Chapter 245: Curious
::twinkle::
Friday, April 23. Go figure. As soon as I establish the 4th Saturday of the month for forays into fandom, I have to make an exception. There’s a Pokemon GO! event this coming Saturday, April 24. (Yay for Friendship Day!) So I’ve decided to host my Ko-fi event a day early. Look forward to new installments of Vassal throughout the day (11am – 5pm), and a finale in the form of an Unexpected chapter. Drop by early with prompt suggestions as I try to decide where Vassal will go next! ::twinkle::

Tea and Sympathy
New Policy. Goodreads librarians have just been given the go-ahead to cull titles from their archives if they are NAB (not a book). One of the prerequisites for being a book is having an ISBN or ASIN assigned. According to this new policy, any title that’s 1) not a book and 2) missing an ISBN/ASIN… can and will be deleted from their system. Unless it has reviews. Then, they’ll leave them in the system in order to preserve those reviews (although those titles will be swept off into a new NAB section).
I spent quite a bit of time (and money) having covers made for my fanfics, which I’ve been slowly adding to Goodreads. Librarians have already flagged the collection and won’t allow me to group the titles using their series function. I just don’ tknow. Maybe it doesn’t really matter if my fanfics survive the culling. Or maybe you want to sneak over to Goodreads and leave some reviews.
Narrated Edition. Bard and Barbarian has been posting slow and steady over on my Patreon account. Reading along is great, but supporters on some tiers can now listen along. Ch5, “Long While” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch1, “Take Care” just unlocked for the Twinkle and Sparkle tiers.

Lacking Nothing
Squirreled Away. So many of you ship this. Can’t really blame you. All I’ll say is … these guys certainly need each other. Behold, Jiro “Joe” Reaverson and Alder “Kip” Woodacre from Tamiko and the Two Janitors (Amaranthine Saga, #3).

… you need to understand that the sigilcraft is mine. They’ll carry my … my signature. And according to the customs of my clan, that makes you mine.”
“So it’s a bond?”
“Sort of.” He really wished a better idea would occur to him. “It does define a new relationship.”
“Umm … in what sense would I be yours?”
“My personal stash.” Kip couldn’t quite meet Jiro’s worried gaze as he added, “My food.”
Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch21, “Precocial.” To spare you from googling, precocial young are up on their feet and walking soon after birth. But I think my favorite part of this installment may be the introduction of the party’s new cleric. ::twinkle::
