aldersprigIt’s time for a Zebra Call, which is a special black-and-white and stripey version of a Giraffe Call.
The theme for the month is Autumn, Autumn (Roundtree)*, Fall, and Falling
There’s a longer post about what this call is for [here]. The short version is: We’re redoing our bathroom and the cabinets I really, really want cost $700 more than our budget.
If you’re interested in Giraffe Calls in general, check out the Giraffe Call: Call tag [here].
Leave a prompt (or several), get a short fic written.
Tip and get TWO fics written and 100 words/$1.50 tipped
Join my Patreon and get TWO fics written.
My goal is $500 between new Patreon Patrons and tips (Counting each $1 of Patreon-age as $3)
For every $50 in tips, I will choose a prompter at random and write another story to their prompts (so leave lots of prompts!)
For every multiple of 5 Patreon Patrons we reach (30, 35, 40…) I will do the same.
Milestones for this Call
$25 – Take-out! Which is useful, because we don’t have a kitchen sink right now.
$50 – Second fic written to a randomly-chosen prompter
$75 – We get the awesome zebra shower curtain instead of the pretty-neat shower curtain
$100 – Second fic written to a randomly-chosen prompter (and so on at every $X50)
$125 – New towels! All the new towels!
$150 – Second fic written to a randomly-chosen prompter
$200 – This fic is written to a randomly-chosen tipper or Patron.
$300 – we can get the slightly-less-cool second-choice cabinets
$400 – This fic is written to a randomly-chosen tipper or Patron.
$450 – Everyone who prompts can choose a story to add another 200 words to.
$500 – New Awesome Cabinets, thank you!
I encourage you to leave as many prompts as you feel like.
Prompts can be general (The Year Autumn Didn’t Come) or specific (Autumn Roundtree deals with Tattercoats); they can be in extant universes of mine (no fanfic please) or in something entirely new.
I also encourage – nay, request! – you to signal boost this far and wide, and to that end, for every signal boost, I will write 100 words of the signal boost story.
Prompt away!
* so Autumn Roundtree is a character in my Stranded World setting. I was originally going to use the runner-up in my Patreon Theme Poll as the theme for this Zebra Call, but there was no clear winner, just a 3-way tie between settings. But Stranded was one of those settings…
And on Wordpress…

And I've fallen from grace
Fallen out of trees
And I've fallen on my face
Fallen out of taxis
Out of windows, too
Fell in your opinion
When I fell in love with you

* It all fell together on the Autumnal Equinox
* That time Autumn Roundtree took a great fall. I mean really, it was a seriously excellent fall.

Continuing from your story ending in Pelletier's vision of a possible future with one redeemed brother. One of the boys falls for sure, and for good. The other... well, was Shira seeing what could be, or what would be? Up to you.
I may well commission that one, honestly.
*Another continuation: Drifa, the crow change girl. Falling out of the sky, by choice.
*Any 'verse you like, but I am so imagining dryads here: Pumpkins and pumpkin vines. Not all pumpkins are orange, evidently.
