October Round-Up

One free story was posted. This was First Meeting: Persephone and Aisling (LJ link) for the Thear collection.

I had one prompts period, which is still currently ongoing, that started on the 23rd of October. During this time I got 16 prompts from six people. From these prompts I wrote: Caitlyn's Spirit Guide Training - Sacred Calling (LJ link), Richard - An Old Soldier Dies (LJ link), and Richard - Samael show Richard a picture (LJ link) for the Afterlife collection; Alice - A Halloween Surprise (LJ link) for the Donor House collection; The Acalica (LJ link), Island Whales (LJ link), Tamara - Samhain Dance (LJ link), Autumn - Talking About Fireworks Night (LJ link), and Alder - Finding a Door (LJ link) for the Fae School collection; Amber - Samhain Dance (LJ link) for the 'Astral' World collection; Aurora - Blooming on Sauin's Day (LJ link) and Sauin Day Celebrations (LJ link) for the Aurora's World collection; Callie - Learning From Lakshmi (LJ link) for the Deities World collection; Anna - Saying Goodbye to Charlotte (LJ link) for the Pagan collection; Bree - Harvest Festival (LJ link) for the Thear collection; and Edward the Monster (LJ link) which is a random story.

I also took part in the Crowdfunding Creative Jam and wrote: Without Connection (LJ link) for the Afterlife collection; and A Princess who didn't wait to be rescued (LJ link) and A door that's always ajar (LJ link) for the Fae School collection.

Surprise Story Week stories had two continuations posted this month. The first continuations: Skyler (LJ link); Sebastian (LJ link); Heliopath (LJ link); Tristan (LJ link); Richard (LJ link); Vitali (LJ link); and Callidora (LJ link). The second continuations: Skyler (LJ link); Sebastian (LJ link); Heliopath (LJ link); Tristan (LJ link); Richard (LJ link); Vitali (LJ link); and Callidora (LJ link).

No random stories were posted this month.

No pieces of bonus material were posted this month, but I am working on two for ysabetwordsmith. One is job roles in the Afterlife collection and the other is the beginning of the vampires in the Donor House collection.

One donation was received from ysabetwordsmith. She sponsored two stories: John Good Road - A Conversation with Nick (LJ link); and Echoes of Alexandria - Nick and Alice's First Visit (LJ link).

The credit system has been implemented permanently as I have more than five people collecting them.

The winner of the free story for signal boosting is: kit_r_writing.

The winner of October's Surprise Draw is: aldersprig. This month the prize is a 10 story choose-your-own ebook.

During October my goals were: to reach 100,000 words of writing, which I unfortunately didn't get to but I did manage to write over 50,000 words; receiving £50 worth of donations, but I only made £4.50; and to have five people collecting credits, which I am happy to say I did meet.

Plans for November include: free story posted on the 1st; the beginning of the collection spotlight and character spotlight, also on the 1st; making choose-your-own ebooks and handwritten stories available on the 15th of November; continuations posted for Surprise Story Week stories; and a possible prompts day as I really enjoy getting prompts (remember I do have a permanent prompts page (LJ link) that you can use when I don't have a session open).

Goals for November: writing at least 100,000 words of story during the month and reaching £50 in donations, which will again be going towards Christmas presents.

November Free Fiction: Pagan Collection: Charlotte's Name Change: 1610 words

Finally having some time alone was a real relief. Every time she turned around someone was there watching her to make sure that she was okay. It was understandable. She had been in a car accident where the driver had been announced dead at the scene. The real problem was the amnesia. When she had arrived at the hospital she'd had no idea of who she was. Her coat had produced a debit card which had told her she was C. Hawkins. Then her family had turned up. Well, C. Hawkins' family had turned up, and as she technically was that person, they were her family. There was just no connection.

November Donations Goal and Word Count Target

Collection Spotlight

This month the spotlight is on the Afterlife collection.

What do you want to know? Ask me questions about the characters, the places, the history of the collection or anything else you can think of. You can even ask the characters questions.  All answers will be posted under the collection spotlight tag and linked to under your question, because I don't want the post to get too cluttered or for too many spoilers to be posted here.

What stories would you like to see written? Want to see more of Charis? Interested in Uriel? Then tell me here.

Character Spotlight

This month the spotlight is on Anna, from the Pagan collection.

What would you like to know about Anna? Ask me any questions you can think of and I will endeavour to answer them, but Anna is suffering from amnesia so that may make some impossible to answer. All answers will be posted under the tag character spotlight and linked to under the questions because I don't want the post to get too cluttered or have too many spoilers posted here.

Tell me what stories you'd like to see. Would you like to see what happens when her memory begins returning? Would you like to see her meeting other characters in this collection? More interaction with her family? What she's like as a pagan?
