"Something Bigger and Hungrier" -- 21 lines, $5
A ship faces two sea monsters.

Apr. 26th, 2013 01:51 pmThe April 2013 Muse Fusion is now open. Come give us prompts or claim some for your own inspiration. You don't have to be a Torn World member to play. We have a travel contest closing at the end of April and then May will be Sea Monster Month, so those are good targets if you want a theme.
What I Have Written
"Stinging Like Nettles" -- a poem introducing a Northern girl, Lekeeth, with touch aversion.
"Swift Travelers" -- 14 lines, $5
Your prompt about traveling insects led to the free-verse poem "Swift Travelers." Nleimen draws cartoons of insects.
"Wandering the Heights" -- 98 lines,$24.50 SOLD
Lekeeth, a young girl with touch aversion, becomes more adventurous as she approaches the time when she'll join an age-set. There is also a sequence where she sympathizes with Taiv, someone I thought likely to suffer from pregnancy-caused hypersensitivity. That's not approved yet so I'll need to check with the character owner.

Cosplay and Consent
Apr. 11th, 2013 09:56 pm![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
my_partner_doug tipped me to this cartoon about cosplay. I'm not sure when the really weird shit about costumes started. Used to be people just wore them for fun and nobody fussed about it. It's really not okay to bug somebody else about what they're wearing -- it's not your body, it's not your business, unless it's doing something genuinely troublesome like shedding feathers into the soup.Tod Wills (LJ user djinni) is doing his Icon Day again. Leave a request and get an icon of your character or yourself. There are individual and collective perks for donations.
If you like my dedicated icons for some of the poetic series, Tod made a lot of those. See the recent ones of Shaeth from One God's Story of Mid-Life Crisis.

Icons of Shaeth
Apr. 5th, 2013 09:07 pmdjinni just posted three icons of my character Shaeth from One God's Story of Mid-Life Crisis. Here we have Shaeth with a bottle, Shaeth sheepish, and Shaeth downcast. I love them. Which one do you think we should use as the series icon?
Fully Clad Heras
Apr. 3rd, 2013 04:20 pmFemale superheroes redrawn with costumes that cover their whole bodies. SO MUCH WIN. I love Wonder Woman.
MOAR PLZ. If you spot crowdfunded or otherwise independent art with fully clad heras, I'm interested in links.
