Challenge #04187-K169: A Destination of Inspiration

May we see the fairgrounds, say, a couple years out after Wraithvine and friends visited to safety-test?

Fairs like this tend to travel. Staying in one place tends to make them boring for the locals, and travel is never casual when the journey takes days at best. It was a slow carnival, so the places it visited had up to a week of anticipation before they could attend.

Wraithvine had tested all of it some years ago. Now ze had the chance to enjoy it.

The steam-powered automatons were not merely in good repair, but also in good voice. They could even play more modern songs, once a technician fed the punched cards into the system. The food was -of course- fair food. Indulgent and bad if it ever became a staple. Luxurious, of course. Full of cream or sugar or spices, and often wrapped in some kind of batter. Most of it was offered on a stick.

Challenge #02411-F221: Take the Baby Steps

(after an AI with a soft spot for humans somehow terraformed Five Minutes In The Future's Pluto into a 1G habitable world, while keeping it the same size and distance from Sol)

At this point she may as well just terraform the rest of the system. Maybe Luna first. Then Venus. Like a trail of breadcrumbs.

Erato, Muse of erotic poetry is reading the scrawl on a university toilet door (Probably misspelt.). -- Knitnan

Gods cling to that which feeds them. What they are responsible for, especially the performative stuff, is also their meat and milk. Thus, you might expect Erato to gain the sickly pallor of the people one expects to find in seedy adult stores, as well as the general doughy body of the assumed clientele. Such is not the case. Erato is healthy, well-traveled, and

He’s so unhappy about this.

The Spine expanded his awareness from internal systems to external stimuli. What there was of his thought processes encompassed, What have they done this time?

finishingschoolbooks:

I have no doubt you are familiar with the fan and sprinkle maneuver, students. After all, there have been numerous pamphlets published on the subject.

My desire to write a steampunky lady werewolf-fighting team has increased from zero to ten bazillion.

My writing queue as it stands:

  1. Book 3 of the Hevun’s Child series

  2. EDITING (fuck)

  3. The Amity Incident (aka that thing with T'reka)

  4. Editing again (shit)

  5. Kung Fu Zombies (I shit you not)

  6. I honestly don’t

My muses, my characters, and the workings of my butterfly mind...

I apparently have a poetry muse that only turns up at BF in the morning. If I’m asleep, I miss it.

This muse can also turn up when I’m rat-faced tired. Often, too tired to write anything down.

Same way my story muse tends to bug me when I’m driving the car. Dang muses. Always turning up at inopportune moments.

And then there’s my characters.

Argumentative bunch, the lot of them. Some get really
