If you got a little email from me detailing my need of reviews for Book 1, you really need to exdigitate. You are the peeps I am waiting on. The more mistakes y'all spot, the better the finished product is going to be.
Send those mistakes in. ASAP.
Challenge #00220: Tempus Flakkit
Time as currency and the dreadful issue of small talk while handing your life away and being 30 seconds short whilst on your commute.
Nomadic life was fine, so long as one was healthy. However, there were still illnesses that forced a stay. Stays cost. Hot-rack hotel beds were fine for sleeping, and you could harvest any food you wanted in the working gardens, but if you didn’t know an apprentice Gyik chef, the odds of getting it cooked for

Challenge #00219: Drained
The worst way for Rogue to gain her sense of touch. Heavy angst.
She only knew him as Leech. Since he turned up as the Acolyte’s secret weapon, turning off powers just by standing around, he fascinated her. It was his job to be in their way. And it forced them all to hone the skills that did not require their powers.
He always worked alone. No backup. Just clever trick after clever trick until she found the cleverest trick

Weirdlet- thank you for the Danny prompt. Today's, Good Boy- oh god, I was crying all day. I lost my father eight months ago, my favorite...
Thankyou, I try my best. I was told to make people cry, so I started with myself.
It’s a measure of pride that I can hit All Of The Buttons in my readers, so I’m sort of perversely glad that I made you cry. [Hugs sent, too, though. Sorry for your losses]
What a strange creature am I, to take such pride in toying with the emotions of others. It means I’m good at my work.

The last good year. Make me weep.
Every day, since she adopted Boy, had been the same. Etta got woken up by his slobbering kisses and his eternally cheerful, “Good morning, Boss.” and some vestigial orders he used to give his old master. Even after all this time, Boy obeyed his programming/training and looked after his owner.
This morning, the alarm went off before Boy’s cold nose pressed against her skin and his tongue lavished her with

Sixteen-year-old Elif Bilgin of Turkey has developed a way to replace traditional petroleum-based plastic with banana peels.
The Turkish teen took home a US$50,000 prize for her project “Go Bananas!” Thursday after winning the second annual Scientific American Science in Action Award, associated with Google Science Fair.
“My project makes it possible to use banana peels, a waste material which is thrown away almost every day, in the

Random Bits of Geekery: ASOGE Part 2: Straight "Parallels" and Microinvalidations
So let's say you're a straight person and you just said something innocuous and now your gay friend has gotten a little upset at you and you can't figure out why. They're not screaming at you or anything, but they've went on and on about "privilege" and "unfair advantages" and…
Read all of this. Please. It’s very important.

An FOH sympathizer and Scott have a civil debate on the issue of human supremacy vs. coexistence after she recognizes him during the reception preceding his third artistic experience post song. Common ground is tripped upon due to the relative naivete of both to the concept of creative expression.

He had bought a suit for this exhibition, and still waited for someone to call him out as a fraud. Scott still called his works ‘inspired by’ ikebana rather than

It’s not “bacon,” it’s a pig.
It’s not “veal,” it’s a calf.
It’s not “steak,” it’s a cow.

Scott, inspired by watching Sara at the harp, is day 17 in his surprising new hobby, marked by his acumen and desire for a greater range of expression and development. Jean comments.
It was not an art usually appreciated in the making, it was something appreciated after it was finished. And even after seventeen days of practice, he was still too shy to show anyone but the Adriens.
He knew Ororo saw it, because she left encouraging little post-its on his desk.

The mats last about 5 years and are printed with nontoxic ink that won’t leach into the soil.
The mats use a technique called square foot gardening. “The key is planting in grids instead of rows so you can maximize your space,“ said Weiner. “More food in less space. We adapted the layout of the Nourishmat based on this popular method.

Danny didn’t notice while her skin was growing back, nor during her recovery from the operation she insisted on to make certain her outside matched her inside.
Intensive care and many post-op wards were in the hospital shelter as a matter of standard protocol.
It was when she was getting the hormone implant, when the team came and hurried her back down into the shelter, that
