Working on Landing Pages and Request Feedback

At what point ought I split portions of a setting off into its own landing page?

Jumping Rings: A Story of the Circled Plain - Chapter Four

Chapter Four: Valran

Duck

“Duck.”

Valran ducked. The hose swung over his head and back again, dousing him with warm water. He could barely remember the last time he’d had a true warm shower... not that this exactly counted. This was more like a grooming station, but he’d take it.

It was Bicla wielding the hose. Valran wasn’t entirely sure what he felt about that. He wasn’t required to feel anything; Bicla had bent her knee in service and thus was, technically, the same status as Valran. That didn’t, however, keep her from giving him orders.

“Eyes closed.”

Not All Bad - Blaecleah - yr 27 - A continuation of Addergoole

First: So, Who Are You?.
Previous: Anything She Wants
"How does that feel?"

Blaecleah shifted his weight on his knees, shifted his hands behind his neck, and twisted to look up at his - err. At Niobe. "Exposed," he admitted. "Ah, um... kinda like puppet strings being tugged. Not bad..." He shook his head, feeling weird as his neck moved against his hands. "Just different. Vulnerable."

"Rather." She sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at him. "You look very good like that, I have to say. And it wouldn't be out of the range of my power to leave you like that for, say, an hour every evening."

"I can think of a lot worse ways to spend an hour." Blaecleah's mouth was going to be the death of him.

Bad Reception

From dailyprompt, 014-08-12: "bad reception"


"I don't know." Kylie thumped the radio down on the desk. "I'm getting pretty bad reception here."

"Are you sure it's the radio?" Jacob finished weatherstripping the last window and moved on to the door. "The news has been spotty for weeks."

"Spotty, yeah, but not static-y" She set the radio down as it found a station it could stick to for more than a second. "There."

"...god help us I don't know what's coming but it's almost in here. I'm hiding under my desk but I don't think that will stop it. Oh please, help..."

The radio cut back to static. Kylie and Jacob shared a glance.

Slowly, without taking her eyes off of Jacob, Kylie turned the radio off. After a moment's consideration, she removed the batteries.

"Bad reception."
