absent biological parent vs not-blood-related parent figure Family of choice Three or more generations in one household THERE ARE TOO MANY BIRTHDAYS!! (I’m speaking as an introvert with quite a few extrovert and party-liking cousins…)
I have answered your third prompt here: http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/317167.html
Living life as an adult child of a dysfunctional family with attendant emotional and physical abuse. Yes, this is my life at 44. This may or may not include Addergoole and the abuse of ownership or be set in a new / one-off setting. That is completely up to you. As is whether you write to my prompt as I cannot afford to donate, even though I wish I could donate because your writing is so good and I love reading what you write.
I’ll always write at least one story to every prompter, whether they donate or not! Donations are nice, but I like feedback just as much!

When someone goes to service the unicorns, how do other members of their family feel? After a bug and a human join as symbionts, how do they work out a platonic relationship sharing the body? That’s a family tie rather more final than marriage. The slavers from Tir na Cali look for runaways, people who won’t be missed when they’re turned into cats. What if they guessed wrong, and someone’s family very persistently tracked them down and wanted them back, come hell or high faerie?
O)O I want to write all of these!
Yay! I pimped your call on DW, LJ, and Facebook — hopefully enough people will participate to reach the right level of perks for writing all the prompts.
Ooh! Facebook! I’ll write another 100 words on the linkback!

1) Othel 2) Having too many aunts, uncles and cousins to keep track of…
I have written to your prompt (2) here – http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/318333.html Can you point me to a good link to better understand Othel? The first three I found were a bit contradictory.
My understanding of Othel comes from D. Jasonn Cooper’s Using the Runes. Its meaning revolves around ancestry, family (with an emphasis on elders), and inheritance. It is about the importance of once lineage and the benefits that can be derived from it, such as inheritance and tradition.
This turned out somewhere different than I’d intended, but it’s here: http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/324051.html
PS: Where’s your donation link?
It’s the giraffe picture this month. I clicked on it just in case, and it worked! 🙂
Thanks, Rix! Darn, I was afraid of that. :-/
It’s cute. 🙂
topknot did the art. It’s supposed to be a meter but I haven’t figured out the logistics of that yet.
Thanks!
Baram and his at least temporary mixed/extended family of house elves, their kids and the (allegedly or probably) mundane kids from the street and school who came home with them. Why no-one likes going to X’s place for family get-togethers. Blood is thicker than water.

I wrote to your first prompt here – http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/178920.html
1. I was musing today while cooking, and decided I was curious why Ty and Anise decided to have a kid. I know Ty made the decision with Shiva and Niki, but not the story with Anise. 2. The full human half-sibling of an Addergoole student deals with a supernatural problem.
I had a hard time deciding, but I have written to your second story here – http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/319017.html
Rin interacting with or pondering or talking about her family. Maybe at or preparing for the wedding of her near-in-line cousin? Aud and her mother-in-law and that incident with using some of black bottles to spice dinner. Jin and Junie — Juniper has noted that their interactions are changing as Jin is crossing the boundary between childhood and adulthood. There are things Jin is included in as a near-adult that Juniper isn’t. Are there things Jin can/does include her in now that he’s a near-adult? Are there things Jin is cut out of because he’s not really a child anymore? Anything that’s gone notably well or badly where it might not have before because of their changing relationship? Does Juniper know he may be heading to the Black Tower, and if so, what does she think of that? Where do baby dragons (well, dragon eggs, properly) come from, anyway? And are sub-adult dragons as twitchy about that as sub-adult humans are about the idea of their parents having sex?
I confess, I went for the non-DND prompt here: http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/319493.html
Perfectly fair! If I were helpful, I would offer some prompts that were not ‘verse specific, but that required more brain.
I liked these! I just got a little burned out on Dragons over the last month.
Aww…does that mean we can’t ask about the non-human part of the “mostly-human” family?
You can! It’s been a Dragons-light Call.
Yay! I’d like to know why Aud was so desperate not to talk about her family, and what prevented them from attending her wedding. What is Sage’s family like?
I have posted to your prompt here – http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/177754.html
Hmm… * In comments on the Sweet Iced Tea scenes it came up free sons can have an unfortunately tendency towards nastiness to compensate for their uncomfortable mix of privilege and uncertainty… So how about a story about one who dodges that. Perhaps one who ends up watching out for a slave who is a younger half-brother. * Hmm. kelkyag has brought up Jin & Juniper, how about Juniper & Baby, or The Smiths and (hmm… Have we ever been given Juniper’s family’s name?) * Rin/Girey… Either Girey meeting Rin’s family, or maybe a generation or two later seeing how their (hopefully!) family to be have come to be.
Have we ever been given Juniper’s family’s name? Jimmy called Aud “Mrs. S” at one point, but I don’t remember seeing more last name than that.
*giggle* I just wrote part of the continuation of Rule Two that nicely avoids using a last name for Sage and Aud again! 😀
Okay, I got distracted and left that second prompt utterly incomplete. It was intended to continue with: With Juniper & Baby, and apparently Jin and Jimmy, spending so much time together are they growing to view each other as honorary family? The sort where you grow up calling someone Aunt/Uncle So-and-so even though there isn’t actually a blood or marriage relationship? So, for the second prompt, something touching on just what kind of relationship is growing between the two families, whether it’s just neighborly or more.
Hubby’s playing Disgaea, so this prompt is from game watching: “littlest fire spell”. Camping over summer vacation Flight lessons ( thinking about Luca and his brood.)
Ihave answered your third prompt (whee!) here: http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/320264.html
I love Stranded, but we rarely get to see the whole family together, and only once as adults. I’d like to see all four siblings together as adults, preferably in a more cheerful setting than a funeral. If we get a second prompt, I’d like to see them all as kids.
