The Many Ramblings of K. A. Webb

I have too many of them, and yet I keep getting plot bunnied. They've always been problematic, but this is getting silly, although there are some things I could fit into already existing worlds. What I keep forgetting is that one world is not just one country/kingdom. They have more than that to them, which gives me certain freedoms I keep not making use of.

Actually, just writing this has helped me to see how I can fit certain things into existing worlds. That's good. I am happy with this situation.

Does anyone want access to my world building Google Docs folder? It's where I post my ideas for worlds, so if you want to help with that, or just want to read my ramblings, let me know. There should be some new files created in the next couple of days. See above for why.

One of the most important things to me is that I start to earn something from my original fiction. This is something I've talked about before. It's something I'm going to talk about again. For now I'm going to ask anyone who's read something and mine that they've liked for a favour. Can you share a link to any story you've really liked, for whatever reason. That can be a link to the community, if you can find it there, or the website. I'd really like to get some more regular readers, or commenters, so any help is truly appreciated.

Being mod doesn't mean I can't join in. :) Here are my bingo cards for the month.

I've got a gen/romance card, which is kinda meh to be honest.

darkfic	AU: Alternate Genre	social event (workplace)	AU: Alternate History/Continuity	family
counseling/therapy	depression	waking in bed together	magical/mythological creatures	proposal
anniversary	stargazing	WILD CARD	criminal intent	grief
spooning	body alteration/injury	wine/alcohol	family celebration	candles
job-related trauma	outer space	evil scientists	nervous breakdown	costumes

And a gen card, which is definitely better.

deus ex machina	education	character death	bodyswap/bodyshare	beauty
imminent catastrophe	second person narration	hot cocoa (or equivalent)	bedtime rituals	ghosts/hauntings/afterlife
dystopias	coming of age	WILD CARD	accidents	grief
family	wings	baking (cookies)	law and order	hazing
hunger	truth	pregnancy (female or male)	poetry (magnet or otherwise)	costumes

I know I've got a lot of writers on my friends list, so it would be great if you could have a look and see what you think. The forum's pretty quiet at the moment, but the members I've had a chance to talk with have all been really nice, and I really like it there.

To keep things together I've started using the kawebbwriting community to crosspost everything from the website. It would be great to have some more readers there, or at the website. Actually, with all the work I've done, I'm really happy with the website at the moment. There are still some bits that need work, like getting different art for each of the collections, but, for the moment, I don't have any issues with what's there. I've been posting more regularly, writing more regularly, and I'm looking forward to getting some new stories up in the near future.

For those of you who aren't on Imzy, or don't want to have to deal with another log in, I have a Dreamwidth community for the Many Worlds. I'm hoping to post at least once a week.

The matriarch of the Magi would never forgive anything she perceived to be morally wrong. That was why she would never be open to the possibility of helping the Carne, even in their hour of greatest need. They had once, long ago, kept the Magi as slaves and, even though there was no longer anyone in either race who lived through those days, she would not forget that. So when a Carne male walked into the council hall one autumn afternoon, in the same way that someone from any other race would, everyone already knew what her answer to his plea for help would be. Her daughter Marnie knew better than anyone because she had been the one to listen, unwillingly, to the many diatribes her mother had gone on.

All the 'In Depth' posts were written in 2014, so they need some editing, but for now I'm posting them as they are. There may be spoilers ahead.
