The Wordsmith's Forge

Thanks to a donation from LJ user Ng_moonmoth, "Grandmothers Moon" is now complete.  Find out more about werewolf culture.

This also brings us down to two open epics, thus making a slot available if someone wants to start microfunding a new poem out of the half-price sale.

This poem was written outside the regular prompt calls. It fills the "Keep It Safe from Them" square in my 1-1-16 card for the Spies, Secret Agents, and Noir Bingo fest. It has been sponsored by technoshamantechnoshaman. This poem belongs to the Shiv thread of the Polychrome Heroics series, and is followed by "Redwork" and "Whitework."

Warning: Canon-typical mayhem inside Shiv's head. Highlight for more details. This poem contains angst, struggling with strong emotions, traumatic memories, confusion, choice paralysis, feeling overwhelmed by therapy bringing up uncomfortable issues, distrustful thoughts, privacy issues, past near-fatal event, comparisons with self-harm, and other challenges. But it's actually rather hopeful; Shiv is making good progress. If these are touchy topics for you, please consider your tastes and headspace before reading onward.

This poem came out of the July 2015 Creative Jam.  It was inspired by a prompt from DW user Alexseanchai.  It also fills the "Stockholm syndrome" square in my 7-31-14 card for the Hurt/Comfort Bingo fest.  This poem belongs to the Calliope thread of the Polychrome Heroics series.

This microfunded poem is being posted one verse at a time, as donations come in to cover them.  Because it was launched during a half-price sale, the rate is $.25/line, so $5 will reveal 20 new lines, and so forth.

You can also ask me about the number of lines per verse, if you want to fund a certain number of verses.
So far sponsors include: lone_cat, janetmiles, technoshaman, ng_moonmoth

This poem is spillover from the February 2, 2016 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from LJ user Draggon_flye and Anthony Barrette. It also fills the "such a gentleman" square in my 1-23-16 card for the Valentine's Day Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by LJ user Draggon_flye. It belongs to the series Polychrome Heroics and is a companion poem to "All You Can Do Is Feel."

Note: This poem is all M/F sexyfuntimes. If that's not your cuppa tea, you can skip it without missing more than some background characterization and discussion of super sex lives.

Thanks to a donation from janetmiles, there are 57 new verses in "Hostage to the Character."  Calliope scouts out the bank and finds that the situation is much worse than expected.  Hyperspaceman comes up with a plan.  It is a good plan, but a little creepy.  And then action hijinx ensue!

 Part 4 of "Hot Pink Mess" by siliconshaman is now up, explaining a lot about Candy Cain.  This is expected to be the last part of the story, in case you were waiting for that.
