January Round-Up

January was a strange month for me, personally. Much of my time was spent in another place, so I didn't get as much work done as I hoped to, which means that my word count for the month was very low (I'm not entirely sure what it was because the word count on Open Office is incorrect and I use an online word counter that I didn't have access to). However I did post all but two of the remaining prompted stories, made setting rental available, and worked on more world building material, especially for the World Walkers collection.

The month's free story was Aurora Blooms (part 1) (LJ link), which was written for meeks during her adoption period.

Prompted stories posted: Tatiana's Arrival (LJ link) for the Brotherhood collection; Rynne - The Portal Freezing (LJ link) for the 'Astral' World collection; Nadia - A Drink Driving Vampire (LJ link) for the Donor House collection; Anna's Yule (LJ link) for the Pagan collection; Introducing Kieran (LJ link) for Heliopath's World collection; and the Green Man (LJ link) for the Fae World collection.

The Imbolc/New Year prompt call (LJ link) was started and will run until the 4th of February.

Setting rental can be found here (LJ link).

No random stories were posted. Two are ready to be posted, so they'll probably be going up in the next couple of days.

One friends only piece of bonus material was posted: the World Walker's Worlds (LJ link). One of the pieces of bonus material I have been working on for ysabetwordsmith is ready to be posted and will be going up in the next couple of days, while I'm still working on the other one.

No donations were received.

Signal boosting was once again on the low side, so I've chosen not to have a draw for January.

The winner of January's surprise draw is: marina_bonomi. The prize is free setting rental - 3000 words a month about two settings for 3 months.

My plans for February include: ADMIN WORK!!!; normal monthly posts - the free story, collection and character spotlights; and a small auction.

My goals for February, as always, are: writing 75,000 words this month (I know I can do this) and reaching £50 in donations, which will be going towards Mum's birthday present.

Collection Spotlight

This month the spotlight is on the World Walkers 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 the world walkers or do you want to see people in the worlds they visit?

Character Spotlight

This month the spotlight is on Richard, from the Afterlife collection.

What would you like to know about Richard? Ask me any questions you can think of and I will endeavour to answer them. 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 him with Samael or Caitlyn? Would you like to see him interact more with the spirits he bring to the afterlife?

February Free Fiction: Jack - An Asexual Vampire (part 1) - 1115 words

Written for ysabetwordsmith.

For most vampires there was a slightly sexual element to feeding. Jack knew that, but feeding had never been like that to him, even before he had a name for what he was. That knowledge was one of the reason he was grateful he'd been turned into a vampire. If he'd just lived his human life then he would have died without that and back then his life had been very difficult. His family expected him to marry and have children just like everyone else. They didn't get it when he tried to explain to them that he didn't want to have children. In all honesty he didn't want to get married either because he didn't think that anyone would understand why he didn't have any interest in sex.

Guntram

Very random Addergoole fanfic. I have no idea if this could happen (let me know aldersprig) but I felt the need to write it so I did. There may be another connected story coming later.
