Milestone

Quarter of the Way. I’m a firm believer in celebrating little things and silly things and special things. Milestones are for marking, and to day we reached one. I currently have 100 patrons over on Patreon. That means we’re 1/4 of the way to my (eventual) Community Goal of 400 patrons. More about Patreon >>

What’s the big deal?

Once I reach that number, I’ll begin posting a subscription story (available to those pledging $4/month or more). “Loosely based on the old Amaranthine tale, ‘The Wolf and the Moon Maiden,’ this serial will involve three sisters, twelve pledges, and the long-awaited stirring of a sleeping landmark.“ (Yes, I’m talking about the Miyabe sisters. Yes, you’ll get in on more of Kimiko’s courtship of Eloquence Starmark.) I’m excited for that one. ::twinkle::

Who else is looking forward to Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons?

Tote-able

Books on the Go. I’ve been remiss about sharing more of the entries I received during our most recent Photo Challenge. This one’s from Dani, who took the Amaranthine Saga along for a visit to Lake Superior.

Nice tote! ::twinkle::

Bard & Barbarian

New Chapter. I’ve added this month’s installment to Bard & Barbarian. It’s an original story about two of the OCs I played during my first DnD campaigns. What can I say … I got attached. Their serialized adventure will undoubtedly be a stand-alone book one day, but if you want to be a part of their story while it’s unfolding, become a patron. (I’m teetering on the cusp of a milestone: 99 patrons.)

As it happens, Ch14: “Commission” brings a close to Part 1 of Bard & Barbarian. The story’s tagline is … Imber was only a boy when he first met the divine beast who would one day share his adventures. Next month, that boy will be back as a teen.

Art Peek! I’ve commissioned portraits (and a book cover) for Bard & Barbarian. Here’s a peek at the lines for a dual portrait of our boys.

#Inktober2020

Are you ready? If you’ve been hanging about long enough, you might recall that Lord Mettlebright’s Man got its start with the prompts for #Inktober2018. I also treated you to a whole month of Jackie during #Inktober2019, and (yay!) we’ll be back to daily chapters, beginning tomorrow. Here are the prompts:

If it’s been a while since you reread LMM, I suggest you take it from the top. Jacques Smythe’s story begins here >>

Guardian [Spirited Away]

Tuesday’s Tote. Okay, technically, it’s more than a tote. Patterns are currently available on totes, masks, and notecards. But alliteration can be nice. The PLAN is to add a new fandom book cover to Goodreads & to the fanfic site every week. AND add the pattern to the offerings in my Threadless & TeePublic shopfronts. This week it’s Guardian‘s turn.

Summary: Chihiro spends a long, hot summer in a tiny seaside community, minding an old auntie’s store, but a legend whispered by locals leads the young woman on a quest of rediscovery.

News Hound

Updated! Iruka is sent undercover on a mission that bears every resemblance to an enforced vacation. It’s the world’s most boring assignment. And the loneliest. Until a chatty photojournalist named Sukea starts hanging around. Canon Divergence. [Iruka & Kakashi/Sukea/Hound]

This Naruto fanfic updates on Tuesdays. Chapter 3: “Hint Dropping” just posted.

Story Link >>

**Author’s Note from Ch2** For those who maybe didn’t make it all the way to Episode 469 of Naruto Shipuuden, you’re missing a vital piece of information. Sukea is an alter ego that Kakashi uses when information gathering. To the delight of screencappers everywhere, he reprises the role in Boruto, so there are plenty of opportunities to (finally) get a gander at the Copy Ninja’s bare face.
