Dear NFE Writer!

Note: I am repurposing my stock Yuletide letter here, which is why some of the sections may seem slightly off-topic for a single fandom exchange.

Hi, and thank you in advance for writing a story for me! I'm pretty easy to please -- unless you write context-free porn, I'll be thrilled just to get a response to one of my prompts. *grin* But I realize that's not terribly helpful, so here's the (very!) long version. (I am sorry for the tl;dr, but I like to talk about things I love and I figure more details are better than fewer.)

( General Information )

Okay. On to specific prompts.

( Aravis meets Rabadash )

( Lucy/Sea Girl femslash )

---------------

( The Telmarine court )

( Rilian and the Lady of the Green Kirtle )

( Let's talk about Charn! )

And that is that.

Narnia Fic Exchange signups

As you may have gathered from my last post, the Narnia Fic Exchange 2016 signups are open. \o/

The NFE is a smallish single-fandom gift exchange -- it averages 20-30 participants each year -- with high creativity and writing quality. The exchange leans toward gen, book!verse and movie!verse are both welcome, the community of regular participants is very friendly and supportive, and there will be a low-pressure Madness collection if gift exchanges aren't your thing. If you have any interest in Narnia fandom, take a look at the 2014 and 2015 collections on AO3 and the older collections on LJ, and see if you'd like to join in!

You can find more information in this LJ post.

"The Transient and the Eternal" parts 3 & 4

I'm going to keep posting these for a while, though probably not on any actual schedule. Anyway, parts 3 and 4 are now up on AO3. Part 3 has some tiny edits from the beta draft on my journal.

The Transient and the Eternal: Get Out - Jibril delivers a message to Alexiel in Eden. Mild gore. (1,275 words)

The Transient and the Eternal: Giving Up - Alexiel and Lucifer flee Atziluth. (2,500 words)

General warnings for Angel Sanctuary apply: namely, that the canon is built of WTF and incest (and very pretty art), so please proceed with caution. :)

this lack of rain is deeply unnerving

Will It Rain?: The driest March to June on record

This fakeout just happened again -- a beautiful north-south line of thunderstorms approached from the west, and right as it hit Ithaca, it thinned and split with the gap precisely over the city. I can see blue sky out my kitchen windows and the scattered raindrop splotches on my back porch are already almost dry.

I mean, a thunderstorm is not the kind of rain we need anyway, but at least it would have been SOMETHING. But nope. No rain for you!

Ithaca is over 6.5 inches of rain short for the year so far, the whole region has passed from 'abnormally dry' into 'moderate drought,' and this is really getting distressing. :(

have I mentioned that I am terrible at time management? because I am

Okay. Current writing project summary:

1. WIP Big Bang. My posting date is August 15. I should probably have all my chapters done at least a week before that, for editing purposes. I am currently stuck (yet again) halfway through ch. 11 because I suddenly realized I need to explain a bunch of political process stuff, which should have been introduced a lot sooner for proper flow and foreshadowing purposes. I have the terrible feeling I need to go back and make edits to previously posted chapters so the necessary setup for my ending is in place. (This is doubly annoying since I already did make edits on ch. 1 a couple years back. *sigh*)

2. Ladystuck Remix. Due July 25. I looked through my remixee's archive, picked a few likely stories, and then stalled out. This is my most immediately pressing project and I should try to get an outline and a decent stab at a rough draft done by Sunday night.

3. Narnia Fic Exchange. I made my requests and offer today, though I may tweak them somewhat before the signup period closes. Assignments go out around July 29 and stories are due August 31. I don't need to worry about this for a month.

4. Remix Redux. There is no schedule yet and signups probably won't open until next week at the earliest. Again, I don't need to worry for a while.

5. Daredevil Bingo. significantowl wants to set one up. I want to participate! No hard details exist yet.

6. I am not allowed to sign up as a Palestuck pinch hitter. I do not have the time. (Other people should, though!)

7. "Guardian" ch. 17. Yeah, I'll... uh... get back to you on that sometime? *headdesk*
