#WritersCoffeeClub 10/22 What inspiration have you taken from historical figures or events?
Well, the origin myth of Proculis involves a Roman legion stepping through a portal into another world.
And while I know that the infamous Ninth Legion probably never truly disappeared, there are still enough myths surrounding it that I decided I might make good use of this not quite historical fact.
(I also love Rosemary Sutcliff's book Eagle of the Ninth.)
I just posted a new chapter to the Spicy Shifters on AO3 - first time in about a year. Apologies.
Krekhshan and "Dolly" are boarding a ship - the first step in their audacious plan to set up a new colony.

Enjoy!
Gute Nacht, Freunde.
Wrote 700+ words for the Spicy Shifters this morning, including the bed scene. That means I can post a chapter on AO3 on Friday.
It also means I can move on with the plot, which is a very good thing. *rubs hands*
In other news, after today, there is only one chapter left to post for the Twin Worlds. I'm planning to publish the ebook in November, which means taking it down from AO3.
It's been over a year...
#ScribesAndMakers 10/15. How's your creativity going? Would you like help or critique?
Slowly getting my Spicy Shifter story to move - hoping to get back into writing that way.
The story is solid (problem is that I no longer enjoy writing spicy scenes that much), and I think I can handle it.
I am having fun with the next few couples I have planned. So much fun! Mwuahahahaha.
#PennedPossibilities 812 — Tell us about your MC’s morning routine.
Well, Dolly and Krekh's normal morning routine is NSW. I mean, they are called the Spicy Shifters for a reason.
Next, they'll have breakfast and then maybe a meeting or some exercise/training.
After the scene I'm avoiding writing, they will wake up on a moving ship, and that'll be fun, as well. (Or maybe not. Seasickness is a thing.)

#WordWeavers 10/11: Tell us about a strained but important relationship one of your characters has.
"Dolly" and Droshtarkh, the male MC's best friend and second-in-command do not get along at all well, at least in the beginning.
Droshtarkh thinks that "Dolly" is weak, after all, she is a mere human.
And "Dolly" thinks he is arrogant, overbearing and a dick.
It takes a while before they can appreciate each other...

#WordWeavers 9.10.
Tell us about an event in the history of your world that has a big impact on the period you’re writing about.
Proculis used to be a portal hub, with travel to many worlds (Earth was interdict, though). But the plague that killed over 50% of their population put an end to that.
Now the Regent is collecting the few remaining women to try and save their population in person. It is not going well.

I just posted a new chapter for the Spicy Shifters on AO3. It's the result of Writer Brain giving me some ideas a few days ago.
