Inky Fingers. Interested in signed copies of my books? Lord Mettlebright’s Man (which includes Suuzu and the Nine Nippets of Legend) is available. The stamp for Suuzu’s story features Boniface’s exasperation over his little brother’s oh, so charming ways.

Quote Graphics. While creating all the lovely book covers for my fanfiction, we included quote graphics, which make it fun (and cute) to share snippets from my stories. Next time I reread a fic, I’ll keep an eye out for lines I like. In the meantime, perhaps you’d like to suggest some? Send me favorite lines from any of my stories (fanfics & originals), and they may end up on quote graphics like these. ::twinkle::
My email is always.forthright@gmail.com … or you can simply make suggestions in comments.
Tuesday’s Tote. I’ve been posting a new fandom book cover to Goodreads & to the fanfic site each week. (Well, okay. I missed last week.) As an added bonus, the new pattern becomes available in my Threadless & TeePublic shopfronts. Totes, masks, backpacks, zipper bags, journals, and note cards are available. This week we’re adding an homage to Lord Charming.
Summary: More than Sesshoumaru’s pride took a blow when he lost his arm. He’s in a delicate position… and desperate enough to seek the advice of a self-proclaimed expert. Canon Divergence. [Sesshoumaru x Kagome]

Ever since I jumped back into fandom’s playground and resumed Lord Charming, people have been asking some variation of this question:
Yes, this story is long. No, I’m not purposefully dragging things out. I’ve always known that this is the direction the story would take, but I wasn’t exactly sure how long it would take me to spin it all out. (I’m three parts pantser, people. This is me having fun.) Continue reading
A pink moon, known as a maiden’s moon. It is an excellent omen for those whose hearts long to make a good match.”

I’m sometimes asked to explain references in Lord Charming because the reader doesn’t remember details I wrote about months (or even years) ago. Most of the time, I recommend a reread. Stories have more impact when they’re happening. Explaining what happened is just so … anticlimactic. But I have to sympathize with this reader because “curbing” was coined back in 2012.
In a review for Lord Charming, Chapter 692, “They Waited,” Kalaharia wrote:
Okay for the life of me I cant remember what curbing means. Could you possibly explain?

She snorted at him. Sesshoumaru was certain this was a first. His mother was too genteel to indulge in such unladylike behavior, and no one else would dare.

So youkai do care about something other than strength?”
