“And now, you know what we’re going to do, don’t you?”

The voice was deep, ominous, coming from somewhere behind her.  Enrie didn’t answer.  There was no point in answering, and the blade at her throat suggested it would be a bad idea anyway.

I've been trying - with some success - to keep my postings to some sort of schedule. I thought it might keep me on track if I posted said schedule here.

I may be off by up to a day on any given post.

Monday
Edally Academy
Weekend blog post

Tuesday
Patreon "Bonus" post - a flashback, something I missed from the month before, or just a story not yet posted for the month

Wednesday
Edally Academy
Buffy fanfic (or Buffy Fanfic)

Thursday
Patreon - alternating weeks story & serial until serial is caught up
Throwback Thursday: a fic from "today in xxxx", with commentary.

Friday
Edally Academy
Narnia Fanfic into Valdemar

Of course, other fiction will be posted as finished/as whim hits/as commissioned/etc.

I think my favorite part of this setting is the fact that we really have no idea what's going on. :D ~[personal profile] inventrix

When Evangaline's Aunt Asta dies, Evangaline inherits the house, its mysterious artifacts, and the family mantle of Aunt.

Meanwhile and 4 decades earlier, Asta's Aunt Ruan is dealing with the mess left by another aunt, and struggling against taking on the Aunt title herself.

And in the present, while Evangaline deals with her Aunts' legacy, her niece Beryl struggles with the idea that she will, in time, be the next Aunt.

"The Aunt Family" is contemporary fantasy; Ruan's story is taking on elements of steampunk as well.

aldersprig: (GIRAFFE!)
I'm working on putting together a Giraffe Call!

Give me some theme ideas?

Options from [livejournal.com profile] rix_scaedu:
Love, lust and obsession.
Drama queens and divas.
Green thumbs.
Impossible ideas.

Ideas from [personal profile] alatefeline:
Senses (including senses beyond/other than the best-known human 5).
Plants and a plant approach to growth.
When the best answer is FIRE.

Giraffes from [livejournal.com profile] sauergeek:
* Underwater exploration (maybe a fjord)
* Summer ritual celebrations
* The end of a dying town
* What's on the other side of...?

Addergoole is a story about three couples coming together, with varying degrees of manipulation, coercion, and mind control - and varying degrees of affection, attraction, and romance.

It is a story about three teenagers finding out about magic - and about how that magic relates to them. 

It is also a story about just how awful magically-powered teenagers under minimal supervision can be to one another. 

It's a story about choices, and the times when the only good choice is still awful.  It's a story about learning new things about the world around you, and learning new things about yourself. 

Addergoole is dark contemporary fantasy, and it earns every single one of those titles. 

(Pondering new descriptions for an old series...)
