The Wordsmith's Forge

 perfectworry is hosting a call for prompts in preparation for NaNoWriMo.  Leave some ideas and character names, get worldbuilding fiction.  If you boost the signal and anyone mentions coming from your link, then you get a character name of yours used in the story.  So go leave prompts, and say that I sent you!  There are some other perks and options available too.

 thebonesofferalletters has written "Safe Within These Walls" based on my prompt.  You know that motif I love where somebody swoops in and rescues an abused person?  In this story, the victim is a living house.  Aww!  I am filled with squee.  Also now imagining abuse victims as houses that are thought to be haunted but really just in need of not having rocks thrown through their windows anymore.  This story can be extended if people donate.

Thanks to a donation from chanter_greenie, there are 6 new verses in "What a Precious Privilege."  Lawrence and Stan begin the difficult conversation about what happened between them yesterday.  

I am still in the process of posting stuff, and for this poem, figuring who's helping cosponsor it because there were some overlaps in requests to sponsor other stuff.  But new verses!  Yay!

This poem came out of the October 7, 2014 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from moriwen1  and peoriapeoriawhereart. It fills the "internet / social media" square in my 9-1-14 card for the ladiesbingo  fest, and the "Epistolary fic: Emails, letters, etc." square in my 7-30-14 card for the genprompt_bingo  fest.  This poem has been sponsored by dialecticdreamer.  It belongs to the Polychrome Heroics series.

This poem came out of the August 5, 2014 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from LJ user Rhodielady_47.

Note: This poem is written in dialect using references for Grenadian Creole English.  The unfamiliar grammar, spelling, and vocabulary are not mistakes but rather follow rules different than those of mainland American English.
