The half-price sale went well, selling out Queen Choufa and the Rebel Drones, along with Submerged Nebraska, and revealing one poem in A Conflagration of Dragons. You can find all those linked on the sale page. There is also a general fund poll based on recent donations, so go vote in that.
The next Poetry Fishbowl will be on Tuesday, June 3 with a theme of "first contact."
Poetry in Microfunding:
"Faeder Way" follows the antics of human explorers as they try to understand some aliens with an unusual sex/gender structure. "Uncounted Colors of the Stars" belongs to the series An Army of One. A freetrader with an atypical identity grows interested in the culture of the Lacuna. "Not the Absence of Fear" belongs to the series Polychrome Heroics. Damask deals with a big fight at SPOON.
Torn World writing update:

Approved as canon: "Unicorns on Parade" "Spruce Deer" "Wandering the Heights" "Learning to Breathe the Clear Mountain Air" "Indoor Men and Outdoor Men" "From White to Blue," "Stalking Sleep" (poetry), "Sharing a Round" (fiction). Back to me for edits: "Cutting Cords and Clasping Hands (Parts 1-4)," "Winterheart" (parts 2-3), "Stinging Like Nettles" "Off the Clock" (poetry). Currently in front of the canon board: "Ghost Bat" (nonfiction).

Currently writing: "Catch of the Day," "A Cold Clear Night" (fiction).
Weather here has been mild. I've gotten a bunch more plants put out. Mostly we're working to clear the yard for mowing. Currently blooming: honeysuckle, white spirea, wild strawberries, raspberries, marigolds, blue salvia, cleome, portulaca, petunias, zinnias, pansies, sweet alyssum, torenia, lobelia, columbines, peonies, iris.
