Challenge #04623-L239: With This Ring...

Unable to find a ring beautiful enough, he dedicated a lot of time to learning to smith jewelry. Using all he remembered of what the fae liked, though it seemed as though his hand was guided, he made a very unusual ring. When placed upon the hand, he learned that day, he had become wedded.

OOPS! Well, there were worse fates.

The bad news was that there was a fashion for ugly, clunky jewellery in most of the shops. Archfae didn't care about fashion. They cared about finesse. Rin had been searching for it since he passed his exams. Thanks to the stipend, he had enough for the search, but...

There was a sense of elapsing time.

Rin had a year and a day, and it was clear that what he searched for was not immediately available. Still, there were ways to make things happen. Starting with finding a Gnomish crafter who also followed D'varuv engineering principals. He needed something delicate that would not fall apart with the first knock against a solid object.

Wednesday, Mor Bread and a Rant

I have the first loaf of the second batch proofing in the incubator, the ovens warming up for the baking. I am now paranoid as to whether or not I have everything set up for the baking. I'll check that out when I go to ice my ankle again.

Already refined half a chapter - yay. Managed a little bit more of the fanfic I have going on in spite of my efforts to control myself.

I did finally try Fuse and

Challenge #04622-L238: A Tangled Thread Woven

Young Scruff finds a new family, a new caretaker, a new parental. Wraithvine learns why the child was so alone. The large city where they were found learns why their kind was so needed, when Wraithvine returns, to find the forest nearly overrunning the place.

Tuesday, Patreon, Copyright and Bread

I have a loaf in the incubator, Wilson warming up for the next batch of bread, and I've learned that LibGen, a database of stolen works used to train AI, contains my book The Amity Incident.

Fun.

Alas, the information of what to do seems to be behind a paywall and I have no idea what to do about it. Some searching has dug up A lead, but I'm not entirely certain it's the right one.

I've done a few paragraphs in

Challenge #04621-L237: An Honour-bound Quest

On that day, they lost something formerly important to them. But as they looked upon the peaceful city, then to their body, and the mage standing beside it, they smiled.

"Thank you, Wraithvine. You freed me. And in my next life, for I believe I will be allowed to keep these memories, I will be able to have the strength to to free others from the curse I once bore." -- Anon Guest

There's only so many things that will keep a

Monday, Bread and Business

The fam's on our last loaf, so I'm beginning the process of two batches. Yay. I've published the video for today, so all I need fret about is the daily offerings.

Especially since I got half a chapter in at 1AM.

Insomnia for the win? Maybe?

I think I might prep for Wednesday by taking screencaps of the Murderbot Critters(tm) and attempting to do some armchair xenobiology. Maybe including the more obvious xenofauna as well.

It depends how well I feel

Challenge #04620-L236: Lasting Impression

"Why didn't you kill him?"/That's your job, I'm not a killer.

"But you delivered him to me."/That was my job. Besides, I'd be too merciful, and after what he did....

"They will help all of you recover."/This lady with the kind eyes who gave me a hug with her tail already has helped a lot. -- The New Guy

Sunday, Archive Session, Video Production, etc.

The Archive is going through some good stories and I'm in the queue. Yay.

I have a story to read for Peertube, and the video to arrange about that. I have a story to write for the temple of notes. Following that, I am allegedly a free agent.

Last time that happened, I went to bed at 3PM and wrote some fanfic at 8PM. And somehow woke up relatively late.

So... as per usual, I arrived to the Archive stream after my

Challenge #04619-L235: Spot of Rest

Wraithvine was meditating when a human child snuggled up near the ancient elf to nap. The parents was a little embarrassed, but as the elf's meditations didn't seem to be effected, quietly went along with setting up their encampment nearby, and when Wraithvine and hir friends were awake, were offered a meal and a ride to their next destination in the carriage, for thanks for letting the family settle here for the evening. -- Anon Guest

There's formal rest stops on long

Saturday, Signs of Improvement

I took a shower, this morning. So I had to journey to that destination barefoot. I was waylaid by the cats, and by laundry [remembers to put stuff in the dryer...] and I managed all of that back and forth with only minor twinges in my ankle.

I can wear my heavy shoes without ankle aggravation. I can walk around the house without needing my cane.

I started today without icing my ankle, but I'll be icing it regularly, today, from now

Challenge #04618-L234: Low Down by the River

Lord Brickhead was, INDEED, the job that needed to be done sooner than expected. Their decisions lead to a disaster. A disaster the Army of Mercy were more than capable of helping alleviate. Brickhead, pantaloons a'mess at seeing what they caused, turned over a new leaf. The place they ruled now offered freely as a home base for a segment of the Army. No lives were lost, the lord of the land learned a harsh, but fair, lesson, and the future was

Friday, Efforts Continueth

I managed half a chapter at 3AM. I fed the cats, my starter, and myself. I already posted the storytime video on Peertube.

Now I just need to focus enough to work on the daily tale.

Today's experiment is: wearing my heavier shoes plus my ankle brace.

Last time I wore my walking shoes, it made my ankle angry. I'll be seeing if it does that today.

I've had a Finger Slip Incident and am working on some fanfic on the side.

Challenge #04617-L233: Salvaged From Doom

They helped the being as they mourned. Helped find the last of the deceased, gave a gentle burial. Then, with magic, a ton of precautions in both spell and item, began to help clean up the "burning, glowing rock" that gave off such toxin, and help clean the land. Life would come back here one day. But right now, healing one so badly hurt, and helping this place heal from those ancient evils, was the priority.

Thursday, Physio Reschedule and Cunning PLNs

I forgot a few things during the shopping trip yesterday, and my Physio put me in an earlier schedule, so the PLN is to stop by Norflakes and pick them up there. After the Physio sesh of course.

Shouldn't take too long.

Of course, I'm making sure I'll get there early to give myself time to work on a chapter. Who knows? I might just write a chapter in one day [spoilers, I was awake at 3AM and decided to do some

Challenge #04616-L232: Disaster Relief

It was the summer harvest on a massive planet. The human colony was very small, but they had several Gyiik friends who were more than happy to help. After all, while some can be left to go to seed for the next year, it's all but a crime to let all that abundant good food go to waste. -- Anon Guest

What to do when the farm machines that had made everything easier were out of commission thanks to a rogue solar
