Re: A prompt but no cash to donate, sorry.

[aldersprig]

I'll always write at least one story to every prompter, whether they donate or not! Donations are nice, but I like feedback just as much!

Prompts

[ysabetwordsmith]

When someone goes to service the unicorns, how do other members of their family feel?

After a bug and a human join as symbionts, how do they work out a platonic relationship sharing the body? That's a family tie rather more final than marriage.

The slavers from Tir na Cali look for runaways, people who won't be missed when they're turned into cats. What if they guessed wrong, and someone's family very persistently tracked them down and wanted them back, come hell or high faerie?

O)O I want to write all of these!

Re: Prompts

[ysabetwordsmith]

Yay! I pimped your call on DW, LJ, and Facebook -- hopefully enough people will participate to reach the right level of perks for writing all the prompts.

Ooh! Facebook!

I'll write another 100 words on the linkback!

1) Othel

2) Having too many aunts, uncles and cousins to keep track of...

[aldersprig]

I have written to your prompt (2) here - http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/318333.html

Can you point me to a good link to better understand Othel? The first three I found were a bit contradictory.

[the_vulture]

My understanding of Othel comes from D. Jasonn Cooper's Using the Runes. Its meaning revolves around ancestry, family (with an emphasis on elders), and inheritance. It is about the importance of once lineage and the benefits that can be derived from it, such as inheritance and tradition.

This turned out somewhere different than I'd intended, but it's here: http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/324051.html
