A Writing Index and Landing Page

Partway through 2011 I started semi-regularly writing short snippets of fiction, over time this has build up to where it can take a while to hunt down something I wrote previously. That calls for... An Index and Landing Page! I am putting this together initially as a single page. The remainder will likely soon go under a cut. Post-Dating to the end of 2013 to keep it at the top of the recent posts page. Indexes first, followed by a setting list.

30-Day Writing Projects:
  • Using Ravenswept's 30 Day list: LJ Link, (No DW copy currently)

Tales of the Mascot

As a token of good will the dominant civilization even offers scholarships for a few thousand children to make up Earth's first students at the Galactic Academy, the premier educational institution in known space.

Fanfiction
A few items are written in settings created by others. Usually I tend to write original characters in the setting rather than new stories with the canon characters.

    The Sweet Iced Tea stories, set in Aldersprig's Tir na Cali
  • Sweet Iced Tea, Owen has had an unfortunate life even for a slave. When he wakes up in pain and can't remember why he hurts he finds himself with the full attention of his owners ( LJ Link)
  • Recovering - Set the day after Sweet Iced Tea. On the one hand Owen has discovered he won't be getting out of the hospital soon. On the other hand, he has found an answer for his Mistress's question. ( LJ Link)

    Barcley and Caera
  • A Story Set in Three Time Periods, Barcley a child slave and Caera the youngest daughter of his owners at three points in time. ( LJ Link)
  • Oops, Barcley and Caera again. Written to the prompt: A Vanilla Story Dealing With a Kinky Subject. Locked post due to subject matter. ( LJ Link)
  • Talking With Her Father, set in Aldersprig's Tir na Cali, Barcley is asked to take a walk with his master, Caera's father, after the man discover's his daughter is interested in the boy. ( LJ Link)


    • The Unquiet Past
      On a distant corner of the Sharpears land holdings is the mountainside community of Five Springs Valley. A settlement with a history that goes back to the Sharpears' participation in the uprising against the Varn Dominion. Doris, the daughter of the current head of the Sharpears family travels to the town when she would rather not be reminded of its existence. (Uncomplete at this time - My first attempt at NaNoWriMo, but falling well short of the 50K word count goal) The setting is a non-canon corner of Vulpine Prime, homeworld of fox-like aliens in Peta Hewitt's webcomic Terinu.
    • The Unquiet Past, Part 1 - Doris heads to Five Springs Valley to serve as the family representative for The Remembrance, a once a decade event reflecting on the founding of the community. A community she would never have stepped foot in if not for the call of family duty.
    • The Unquiet Past, Part 2A - In which Doris has trouble sleeping and trouble following a speech script.
