Signal Boost: K Orion Fray’s Prompt Call

Feb8

K Orion Fray, who happens to be our attiker*, is hosting a prompt call on her blog, with a theme of Magic, Elves, and Faeries.

Prompting will give you a free 100-250 words; tips will produce continuations and go towards gas money for Ri to visit ri’s father next weekend.

This prompt call also serves as an introduction to the upcoming serial Quest to Karantiri.

Check it out and leave Rion a prompt!

* Attiker, noun, one who dwells in an attic. Specifically in our attic.

Giraffe Call: Evildoers and Bad Guys

Feb8

It’s time for a Giraffe Call!

February’s theme is Villains! Bring me all your stories about bad guys & gals, antiheroes, creeps, jerks.

Caveat for this call only: I will write no more than two prompts per character, or I might end up writing an entire call about Rozen and Baram.

Leave one or many prompts, and over the next weeks, I will write at least one story to everyone’s prompts.

(If you posted in the pre-Giraffe Bus call last week, you can post again and get two stories, or reference your earlier prompts)

Prompting is free! But Donations are always welcome.

For each $5 you donate, I will write an additional 500 words to the prompt(s) of your choice. I will also write 100 words to another one of your prompts.

Prompts can be related to one of my extant settings (See my landing page-landing page) or they can be for something completely different.

This is a “giraffe call” because the first few calls helped pay for the Giraffe Carpet in the bedroom of our new-very-old (1879) house. It being mid-winter, we are beginning to gear up for a spring of renovations.

First up: More raised beds!

At $25 in donations, I’ll order take-out! Reached!

At $35 in donations, everyone who donated will get an additional microfic written to their prompts. I will choose 1 non-donater at random to receive an additional microfic as well. Reached!

For every $50 donated, I will do a one-hour livewrite on Etherpad or googledocs during the next month. Reached!

At $80, I will write two extra 500-word continuations – chosen by prompters picked by random number generator.

$100 will pay for the wood for the next set of raised beds! (that’s about 1/4 of the total)

At $120, everyone who donated will get an additional (3rd) microfic written to their prompts. I will choose 2 more non-donaters at random to receive an additional microfic as well.

At $140, I will do an additional call about the 2 baddies of your choice.

If we get to $140, I will take suggestions for further incentives!
