Teal Deer: If you’re a Patreon Patron, or if you leave a tip from now— Nov. 29th via Ko-Fi or Paypal, leave me a prompt on any one of the last 12 months’ Patreon themes (or Nov 19’s theme) and I will write you words.
Hello gentlefolk!
For NanoWrimo this year (yep, it’s coming up that quickly!), I am going to let you — specifically my Patrons and tippers — tell me what to write. Continue reading
I can’t make the embed feature work right now, so I’m afraid you’re going to have to click a link. /Woe/
… Or it could do that. Hunh.
Hello!
You may have noticed that I have come to the end of Haunted House!
This leaves me with a slot for posting things and being uncertain what to work on next.
So I thought I’d ask you guys!
Options include:
Note: I have Kael’s Tower earmarked to work on when I finish Hidden Mall, and Funerary Rites was giving me a lot of trouble the last time I tried to work on it, thus why they’re not on the list.
Hello! If you’re only reading me here, you’re missing things!
Or at least some things.
On Ko-Fi, free for anyone to read:

City Meeting – The Tinies are going to a meeting….
Lost & Found – In the city of Dragons next Door, the Tinies often find the lost.
Ferry – If you arrived at the Landing, a ferry would be waiting.
Checkpoint – Abby & Liv(s) weren’t the only ones trapped in the Mall

A Much-Needed Break – “You,” Mike declared, “are taking a vacation. All three of us are.” – Addergoole
🏖️
Bomb* – The “Gardener” series – the statue to Damkina’s husband was now wearing a kilt.
Curriculum – Addergoole, Year 10: “I hate this place.”
Electives – Every member of Bellamy’s family took at least one extra Art Class and one extra shop class.
Snacks – If I had thought Girl Scouts was difficult, I had not remotely been prepared for summer camp.

Silver Rain – on Podka, it was said to rain silver.
Orange Sunset Parlay – The Imperial Captain wants to talk to Yonpler.
Rooftop – Jasper and the House converse. (Haunted House)
On Sufficient Velocity – an interactive Fae Apoc Quest.
Rhiannon was not expecting any of this. But now she’s got to figure out what to do while a bunch of jerks keep attacking her city.
This has continued on quite entertainingly! Stop in and vote in the quest.
And while I’m having trouble keeping it updated:
You might have noticed that I’ve been working on the Fae Apoc Landing Page, and you may have noticed it’s a bit of a bear.
It occurred to me that I could actually have some help with this!
The biggest part of doing the landing page is:
How you could help
Steps one and two require no access to the backend! If you post here with stories that need that –
i.e.,
No tag in common.
(Short titles are fine, but I just copy/pasted this from the landing page)
(Either in the main The Stories header or within the Addergoole header)
(Bonus: Doing this made me realize that one story had failed to crosspost! So if you notice that, say, Deep Shit refers to “Up Shit Creek” and you can’t find that – mention that please. It might just not be in the Fae Apoc category, or it might fall in that 4-month period where things didn’t quite crosspost right. Find one of those and I’ll add 3 minutes to the reward below.)
What you get
for every two sets found for me , I will write 15 minutes (or 6 minutes for one set) and post on any story or prompt (within my normal limits, i.e., if it squicks me I don’t do it) you request!
Cheers,
Lyn

People keep asking me to talk about how to run a successful kickstarter, and I guess I did that — run a successful kickstarter, I mean. But it feels disingenuous to say it. My kickstarter was a success because it fully funded, but the amount I was looking for was not high, and I don’t feel that the credit lies with me. I wasn’t looking to launch a bestseller career or get my name in articles or anything like that, and that’s just as well because I didn’t.
What I was trying to do was to get together enough money to publish my book. A small, specific dream. To cover proofreading, cover art, and ISBNs. I needed about £1000 to get all three, but I was so desperate to publish that I figured I would ask for just enough to cover proofreading (about £700) and would somehow pull the rest from my already drowning bank account.
That might not seem like a risky thing. £700 might not seem like a lot to ask from friends and family, and kickstarters regularly fund with thousands of pounds. But I knew my chances better. Continue reading
