Leave me a prompt on the theme of: rooms, space, accommodation, place in the Tír na Cali setting, and I will write at least 50 words on at least one of your prompts.
I want to write a story for submission based on the theme of identity (I'm working my way through the themes in this textbook, and I'm having trouble coming u with ideas.
Like, staring-at-the-chalkboard nothing's-coming sort of having trouble.
So, this one-shot call is more like Ysabet's fishbowls: if I write something based off your prompt, I will send it to you privately before I submit it. I will post one not-going-to-submit idea for free, and then if I've managed to get more than two flash fictions out of it, I'll offer up story-sponsorship options.
But the main point here is to get me something to submit. So: ideas on identity?

As the topic says ;-) I make no promises on what I will write, except that I'll probably write at least 50 words to at least one prompt.
If the prompt happens in a timeline that will end up in the Addergoole books (i.e., right now year 5, then maybe 50yearslater), the story may end up in one of those books.

So, it went like this:
I'm doing NanoWrimo (I think you've noticed ;-)
While I live in the Ithaca region, the ML (Municipal Liaison, like a regional coordinator & cheerleader) of NY: Elsewhere (i.e., everywhere not covered by a region or without an ML of their own) lives in my attic (long story.)
We do Live-Action Roleplaying twice a month in Elmira (about 30 miles away).
So when I saw that Elmira's region was without an ML, I said to said atticker, "Hey, we should go to write-ins in Elmira before game."
Great idea, right, combine two hobbies?
Cue last night, where we got up, had waffles, made pie for game, wrote some words, did some other stuff, packed the car, and went off to the write-in.
Leaving - as I would discover only hours later - my costume for the Live-action game at home.

What I want What You Want Fundraiser
Aug. 11th, 2013 12:43 pmSo!
What I Want: Djinni is hosting another icon day and, while you all ought to go request an icon, signal boost, and, if you can, tip, I'd also like to get the 24-icon perk, to fill in the holes in my Addergoole and otherwise cast lists.
So I'd like $100 to give to
djinni.
I'd also like $50 for foyer accessories, because I really want guest slippers and a nice place to put them, and I'm almost done prepping the foyer to paint. But first is $100 for Djinni.
What You Want: Well, what do you want? Want to see an Uncle? Kill a Dweomer-Hunter? A Unicorn who talks? Akaterina poisoning Agravain?
I won't promise to make it canon, but I can write it. Tip me $5 and I'll write a drabble (250-500 words); tip me $10 and I'll write you a flash fiction (750-1000 words); if you want more, talk to me and we'll work something out.
No Matter What the first $30 will be tipped to Djinni for this icon day. If I reach $100, the first $100 will go to Djinni.
This is only open until Wednesday. I will write these things as first priority until they are done - pre-empted only by other things people have already paid me for. <3
