April Giraffe Call: Celebrations and Special Events!

The call for prompts is now OPEN!

I am now taking prompts on the theme of Celebrations and Special Events Leave one or many prompts, and I will write (over the next month) at least one microfic (150-500 words) to each prompter.

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

Prompting is free! But Donations are always welcome.

If you have donated, I will write to one extra prompt of yours.

In addition, for each $5 you donate, I will write an additional 500 words to the prompt(s) of your choice.

If I get two new prompters or one new donator, I will write a setting piece (setting chosen by poll).

At $30 in donations, T & I will get delicious cake for our birthdays!

At $40 in donations, I will post an additional 1000-2000-word fic on the subject of the audience's choice.

At $50, anyone who donated $7.50 or more will have a copy of "Alder by Post" mailed to them if they wish

At $70, I will write two extra 500-word continuations - chosen by prompters picked by random number generator

At $130, I will record a podcast of an audience-choice story and post it for everyone to read.
