Challenge #05029-M280: Pest Control System Volunteer Maintenance

The young humans, carrying fur-brushes, began hunting all of the skitties in the small station. Their mission? Give them all a full brush-out. Needless to say, the skitties enjoyed the attention. -- BKF

There's a very Human saying - the devil finds work for idle hands. Translated from their ancient superstitions, it boils down to: "Don't let your Humans get bored." Humans have a knack for finding trouble before it gets lost.

Especially the younger Humans.

This particular band were allegedly part of the Order of Hitchhikers. They did have a towel, and wore the pin. And in the station named Backwater, they also had pet grooming brushes and a self-made mission: Give every Skitty in Backwater Station the love and attention that every kitty deserves.

Wednesday, Physio and Time Shaving

I have an appointment, I have shopping to do. I have a water filtration system that needs a joosh and I have to call some people about it. I have an entry for the promptcast that's in need of a once-over. Aaaaannnd I have no time for breakfast. Woo.

It's looking like a very fun day, for interesting definitions of fun. At least some of my time-shaving habits will have me working on my cover art, today, with hopes of having it

Challenge #05028-M279: Mistaken Protection

They leapt in front of an attacker to save a deathworlder. The attacker fled in terror at a giant snake striking at them. -- BKF

[AN: Cogniscent species must have tool use to get into space, so interestingly snake-like sneople it is]

The Edge Territories have been likened to a box of chocolates. First, you never know what you're going to get. Secondly - it's highly dangerous for a lot of people who exist in there.

Shissothi didn't think of Trading Station

Tuesday, Getting There Slowly

It does indeed take me five-ever to create an art. I have a layer of fuckin' kudzu to finish, a further layer of kudzu to render, and the shadows of Guy Generic's ass to add so his pants have depth.

Huzzah.

I am within a very few days of having this cover ready for publication. The hardest part will be picking a font for the title.

I always go through that journey when the time comes.

And speaking of, I need to

Challenge #05027-M278: Little Devilborn, Lost

The human child was young, lost, and scared. Then a raven alighted upon their shoulder and gently, through soft pecks and the occasional hopping on the ground to lead, helped the child back to the Inn where their parents had taken up residence until hir mother gives birth to their sibling. -- BKF

The city was big and pretty and smelly and very, very distracting. Bug had slipped from Mama's hand, just for a moment, to look at something bright and shiny.

Monday, Locking In

I have a thing to do for the Promptcast newsletter. I have a cover to finish arting. I have a work to create for the Promptcast and a work to create for your entertainment.

...wheeee...

I did enjoy some birthday sushi and a restaurant-wide humiliation ritual because my lovelies are FIENDS who will absolutely dob the birthday bean into the restaurant staff. I will wreak my revenge eventually.

And there's a creamy chocolate torte in the fridge to vanish slice by slice.

Challenge #05026-M277: Wait, They're What?

A large band of rowdy adventurers came across a large village of those normally viewed as 'unwelcome ones'. They drop their swords, shields, and armor, seeing the village's main bridge was washed out in the last storm, and get to work helping clear debris and cutting wood so the village can have its bridge back. Others of the large band go to help the fields until the main group of villagers can get back out there, safely. -- BKF

They say that

Sunday, Stream, Birthday, and New Story

Hooray, hooray, I'm 54 today.

I have a new story that's due out today. Alas, I have yet to finish the cover art. I hope to do that at some point today or tomorrow. And then, my lovely readers, we are off to the races.

I can do this. If I can get it out IN October, then it's good. I do have to shade Guy Generic's pants, but the primary deal is all the fuckin' kudzu.

I know what it looks

Challenge #05025-M276: Greater Treasure

"I'm too Fat" You're healthy. "I'm too old." You're mature. "I'm ugly" You're beautiful. "Why are you being like this?" Being like what? "So nice to me." Because you are the kindest, most wonderful person I have ever met. -- BKF

No matter what kind of Unwelcome People there may be, there's always somewhere where they may be welcome. The trick is finding where that is. There's the city ghettos, of course, where the Unwelcome are at least permitted. Sometimes, they're even

Challenge #05024-M275: Clinic Sub Rosa

I was asked by a person wearing red, yellow, and black what I wanted for patching them up. I stated that all I wanted was to run my clinic, and no longer be afraid to help those who truly needed my help. To no longer be punished for giving the care I trained years to perfect, to those too poor to go anywhere else. -- BKF

The words, First and foremost, do no harm, are written above my clinic door. Very few

Friday, Dealing With STUFF

I should be posting my Patreon stuff today. I have other work, like editing mentees offering for the Promptcast.

...my sweet Powers, it is full of holes.

My mentee needs to slow the fuck down and take a good solid look at what he's writing while he's writing it. I get frustrated and have to take breaks.

One day, he shall mentor someone who's just like him... MWA-hahahaha. Ahem.

I shall be working on the editing, and the daily tale, and my

Challenge #05023-M274: A Needed Repetition

The Goddess of Death came to claim me. Her hands were gentle as she lifted me from my bed and carried me to the door. I was old, tired, and in pain. Then when my eyes opened again, I was young, in a cradle, and I remember her words whispered. "You died a person who believed in kindness. Hold that in your heart, for I wish you to teach it to others." -- BKF

Grace had spent a life doing little things

Wednesday, Almost Done and a Whoops

Whoops, we all forgor to get the rubbish out this week. Oh dear. And there's Sneezin' and Wheezin' Season biting my bum for extra "fun times".

BUT... I only have a few more things to add to the cover art in progress and that thing is ready for the title text. Huzzah.

I predict the most troublesome thing will be the fucking rain poncho. I think I know what I'll be doing with adding 'noise' to the concrete lumps. Which means that

Challenge #05022-M273: Persistence Predators

Several Alliance members, and other species not in the Rim, challenge the humans to a 20 k race. The humans show why they survived to become the apex predators on earth. -- BKF

[AN: Alliance space is more than the galactic rim. Thanks to wormholes, parts of the Alliance linked by Hyperspace could be ANYWHERE]

The funny thing about Humans is - they don't look like Deathworlders. No horns, claws, fangs, or venom are on their side. They look like lanky awkward,

Wednesday, Editing, Doodling, Stuff and Nonsense

I'm currently in the last edit of my Promptcast thing. Comte Dragomyr rides again. Or might be ridden, depending on Marzanna's inclinations. ...hur hur hur...

I have to look up concrete rubble and put that into the scene, finish off Guy Generic in the foreground and put some clouds into the sky.

Before October Fourth.

I'm nearly there. I can do this.

I can get this little fucker out there. And hopefully earn a little scratch doing it.

I've bothered five people
