Now Eye, whomever, or, whatever he was, there was one thing I was certain of him. He was utterly, unbelievably, deeply devoted to Dorothy. It wasn’t just devotion that drove him, it was love. And while I’m not the one to get caught up in sentimental dribble, I was rather impressed by Eye’s attitude. He neither imposed his love upon Dorothy, or tried to force her to see it. He simply did a little dance around Dorothy to keep her aware of his presence.
Now, Dorothy didn’t really s...

Due to Obresh being flanked on the left by the Cobra Strait and the ocean to the south, the winter winds that blew through were exceedingly cold. Back home in Sothen, the winds were much gentler despite the harshness in which you lived. Here in Obresh, the bitter winds mixed with your new homelife was a strange feeling. You were still getting used to being treated so warmly and lovingly by Ozren, most of all you were still struggling to accept it. The nagging voices you had heard all your lif...

Obresh had never been your destination. It was a happy accident you ended up here. Running away from home in the first place, you had intended to get much farther away. Life had other plans though, and life left you here. Life gave you Ozren. While a first that seemed like such a strange thing, you now knew this was exactly what you needed.
Big, loveable Ozren, he gave you the world and asked for nothing in return. He just wanted to see you happy and smile. The day he selected you durin...

Sheep have been going missing all over this land. Considering that most of my village makes their money off of livestock, it’s a very big deal. Even if it wasn’t, missing sheep is usually a sign of something lurking in the woods. For years now, my family has been to blame for this. The stress of it killed my mother, and my father is barely hanging on. ...

I wasn’t raised in Rakshasa Country, while I had been born there, my father traveled often as a dignitary, and my mother was from Charbagne, where I spent most of my time. My mother was the head of the kitchen for the Charbagne royal palace. From her, I learned the trade and eventually took over the kitchen from her. When my father became ill though, we decided as a family to move back to his homeland in Rakshasa Country. Through my connections, I got a job in the royal palace. Unfortunatel...

Several years ago, my brother and my fiancé both went off to war. Land disputes between the kingdoms had come to our lands, and our people decided it was not up for grabs. Our lands were defended as best as possible, but Miror still ended up taking us as part of their property. My fiancé died in battle, and my brother, Henry, came back changed. War chang...

Your grandfather was a secretive man, had been all his life. He often vanished for days at a time, sometimes months, only to return with some sort of fortune on his hip. He used to have all sorts of stories for how he came up with the money, but no one ever believed him. It was just the belief of the family he was a gambler and wouldn’t come home without the jackpot.
So when he died it was kind of a shock, everyone had figured he would always die during one of his trips and never come...

(Starting with this story I wanted to show how sometimes I may not write what the commissioner wants, and I will have to go back and fix it. So for this week the first two parts are what I originally wrote, then the next three are how I fixed it! They're both different and very similar so I thought I'd share the process with you. Enjoy!)

It’s quite cold out and I can smell rain coming. Luckily, there is a village up ahead, hopefully there will be an inn there, or at least somewhere we can get a room or a roof over our heads. My wife and I have been traveling for a few days now, and I know sleeping on the hard ground is getting to her. She’s been pouty and in a grumpy mood lately, but I know she’s not going to outright complain about it.

He met her on the docks when she was young. She was spending time on her father’s fishing ship, so she didn’t have to be around her mother while she was drunk. Jude said that she looked sad most days on the boat, bored and out of place among the wind-burnt faces of the fishermen. There were days she remained on the boardwalk, wandering around and looking ...

I need to start saying when the mail outs get sent, so this will be the first. I know they were slow to arrive last month, so please keep that in mind for January as well. Especially if you’re international.
This also makes me wanna know what y’all do with the stuff you receive. Do you have an album? So they go onto your computer? Is your fridge covered? Do you strategically cover holes in the wall? I’d like to know! Especially with stickers, because I have no clue what to do wi...

It has become a nightly thing to go and visit Amir atop the Queen Piece. We meet every day, often spending hours together talking, sharing, maybe just watching the sky until the stars come out. Amir had a big family too, but unlike me, he was the youngest of his brood. His parents had also been Chess Piece pilots, but they had passed away during the Battle of Alice when their King Piece was destroyed. Amir was then raised by his elder siblings, all of whom despised the Chess Board.

Not long after Dum‘s little outburst the Mad Wizard and Snap whisked off to the Green City and into the Mad Wizard‘s throne room. Snap took to sitting in the Mad Wizard’s throne while the Mad Wizard flung himself about the room trying to ignore him.
“She’s your fiancée!” Snap laughed haughtily. “You nasty little man, why didn’t you ever tell me?”
“It was never important before.” The Mad Wizard glowered. “Besides, I bought everything you know about Dorothy....

“A rose milady?”
Alice blushed bashfully as Snap extended a single red rose out towards her. She hid her face behind her serving tray. “Thank you.” She mewed and reached out with meek fingers to receive the gift.
“Oh, don’t hide that pretty face.” Snap pushed the tray down. “Much better.” He placed the rose gently into Alice’s hair.
Behind him the twins watched with a palpable irritability. Dee felt more like a protective older brother. But Dum was ...

Before there was the Royal Family, Miror had once been ruled by the Court of Chess. This Court was made up of two warring families who, every five years, hosted a great battle to determine who would be the next ruler of Miror. For those five years the King and Queen of each side would train their troops and build up an army as strong as possible to win and claim the ruling throne.
When they were challenged by the human form of the Goddess Alice, the two families worked together in order...

A few years ago my husband asked for a divorce. It was quite a shock, because we’d been sweethearts in high school and managed to stay together through college. All of a sudden he wasn’t happy? I didn’t know why, and I offered to try and make it right, but he said in the simplest of terms there was no fixing us. Things had gone on too long, and they sh...

Winter was coming faster than Fall could end. Harsh ice storms had already blocked the roads, and heavy snows were fast sealing them up. You had been opening your hot springs to the men and women who were trying to chop through the ice to let in suppliers from the South. Since the winter was in a hurry to begin, not many people had a chance to finish stocking their cellars. The ice was harsh, but the hot springs offered a soothing relief from the pain, as well as helping their aching hands an...

I really wanna finish my novel Misinformed. I keep thinking about it and I want to go back through the chapters, edit, revise, rewrite some things. So I had a small idea, and it’s still just an idea. But for July (my bday month) I was thinking maybe I could use the month to finish it if I could reach a goal of so much to make it through the month. Maybe people could sponsor chapters, I can change names of characters or add characters to name them after donators. Still rolling this around in...

In the Polar, there is always a chill in the air. Even during the summer months the cold blow from the mountains doesn’t cease. Despite the waters being thawed and green foliage reappearing, it is always cold. You’ve never gotten over this, having moved from the Southern Coast with your husband, a native of the Polar, you were used to never feeling a draft. You were always cold, and relied heavily on your husbands sisters, grandmothers, and elders to make you warm clothing and blankets to...

My parents react strangely to the news that the Tulgey Wood driders have moved into the Gander estate. My mother is unusually quiet, and my father is trying to keep any and all information about our new neighbors away from her. He’s willing to listen to his father, but that’s about all he wants to do.

I open the door and Mary falls inside. I kneel down to pick her up and am shocked by her eyes. They look like sheep’s eyes, but are still the same crystal blue. Her hair is extremely curly too and turning pure white. The tips of her fingers are very stiff and turning brown, and her legs looked painfully bent.
“What are you doing here?” I snap at her.
Mary cries and wraps her arms around me. “It hurts!”
Demeter comes trotting over with the basket of mushrooms in her...
