Poem: "Fair Game"

This poem was written outside the prompt calls, and fills the "evening the odds" square in my 5-22-14 card for the origfic_bingo fest. It has been sponsored by an anonymous donation. It belongs to the Antimatter & Stalwart Stan thread in the Polychrome Heroics series.

Warning: This poem contains a few touchy bits; highlight for spoilery warnings. There is bullying, fighting, breath control, threats to prized possessions, and other shenanigans. If these are sensitive topics for you, think carefully before clicking through.

Poll: First General Fund Poll for July 2014 Half-Price Sale

I've posted a poll over in LiveJournal for the general fund in the Polychrome Heroics half-price sale.  You can vote with the checkboxes -- unlike most of my polls, this one lets you select multiple answers -- or if you don't have an account on LJ, you can leave a comment or contact me backchannel to vote.  There's quite a bit of cheap poetry left, even after all the stuff that people have bought.

Poem: "Turning Leaves"

This poem is spillover from the June 3, 2014 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from LJ users Moriwen1 and my_partner_doug.

This poem has been sponsored by an anonymous donor. It belongs to the Antimatter & Stalwart Stan thread of the Polychrome Heroics series.
