Two of my always-Kickstart creators are having Kickstarters at the same time:
MeiLin Miranda, author of An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom, is Kickstarting The Machine God, her book in a shared world series called The Drifting Isle Chronicles. If you like steampunk or just awesome writing, check it out!

Unwoman is Kickstarting her next album of cello covers. I am drooling. I'm already obsessed with her music, but if you like cellos, check it out!

[livejournal.com profile] bigbang_mixup is starting up again! In this big bang, mixers create playlists first, and then authors create stories based on those (and artists create art based on the stories)! I did this last year, and while I wasn't a hundred percent happy with the story I ended up with, I had a lot of fun writing based on a playlist. Signups for mixers, authors, and artists open tomorrow!

[personal profile] aldersprig is doing amazing things. I don't even know what to link to. But if you like fantasy and/or SF and/or erotica, you should read her stories. Go read them!

The Three Jaguars is now a webcomic! It's starting a little slow, but I'm looking forward to seeing where it will go. If you're not already familiar with the Three Jaguars, M. C. A. Hogarth wrote a series of essays on business and marketing for artists of all kinds--because the jaguars are Marketer, Business Manager, and Artist, all contained within on person. It's great advice and webcomics are awesome.

Prompt: [community profile] rainbowfic Tyrian Purple 25, the Midas touch; Heart Gold 15, I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. - Roy Croft
Notes: So I guess my theme lately is doomed young love. That's what I get for writing character backstories. Though, actually, these two meet again later and may not be doomed. I'm not exactly happy with the choice of architecture for Dylan; I picked it a while back for something different and artistic for him to do, but it seems too practical now, especially since I know neither of these characters will be doing what they studied for in a few years! So I may revisit this later with a different artistic field for Dylan to study...


When he touched her she felt like gold.

He was studying architecture; she was studying engineering. “I want to be able to do something useful with my life,” she said. He was the artist, dreaming; she was relentlessly practical.

She wouldn’t tell him anything about her family, except that she was the only buffer between her parents. He told her all about the mom he’d lost and the mom he still had, the older sisters who still thought they could control his life. She sympathized, though she was an only child. He wished he could know what that was like.Read more... )
