As a librarian, as a fierce defender of the freedom of information, as a member of the LGBTQIA+ rainbow mafia, as a family member to more than one trans/nonbinary individual, and as a human being, I find these rules horrific.

Alitzah tries to plan an attack but is talked out of it by her bodyguard, I’anthal. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

. All she had left were her sodden clothes and her brother’s dagger. Wilmot’s tastes had been more gaudy than practical; his amethyst encrusted dagger was no better than a letter opener. Certainly not sharp enough to slit a few Witherbeck throats as they slept.

She voiced that hope to I’anthal and he shook his head. The beads in his twin braids clattered at the motion. “They will have guards and you will do nothing worse than graze them,” I’anthal replied mildly. “My axe and short sword are no great weapons against them.” His deep blue eyes were wide open and honest. “We wouldn’t stand a chance.”

“Then how will I rescue Arlais if all you'll let me do is follow?"

“Exactly,” I’anthal replied calmly. “We’ve seen their slaughter and we know what we have. Our lives and not much else. We can’t rush down, slaughter one maybe two. They will capture you, kill me and,” he gave her a lazy three fingered salute “I swore to the Three Mothers I’d protect you and I don't break my promises.”

I can't get over my fear that the moment Trump leaves office a lot of people are going to think of that as "job done" rather that a milestone in a broader struggle. And one of the reasons I have this fear is that this is what happened last time.

G'morning #WIPSnips! Milly and some of the gang in the middle of a *situation* here. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Val runs towards Ignacio, kneeling on the floor beside the stricken student. He puts his hand on the wound and closes his eyes, whispering words I can’t hear. Not that I’m paying all that much attention at the moment as more hornets seem to be coming from everywhere. I look up and see that half the windows, above the protective first floor metal barrier, are open to let air in.
“When did this start?” I ask the two guardian girls as I move to keep vigil over Val to swat away any hornets that make it through the defences.
“Minute ago!” Christine barks without looking around. Good, keeping attention on the threat is good.
“Went straight for Ig!” Galilah adds on. Ig? Hmm. Not important right now.
One hornet does indeed make it through the defences by coming straight down from the ceiling above Val while both girls have their attention swatting aside other hornets. I intercept it mid-divebomb with a swipe of my talons, and pieces go flying away.
“This is too open, we need cover!” I nearly shout at Val even though he’s right next to me.

“Listen,” she said quietly. “I should go.”
Julie’s face fell. “Oh. Of course. Sorry.” She stood when Izzy did. “This didn’t go how I had hoped.”
“No,” Izzy said, shrugging on her jacket. “But it went about as well as I expected.”
Julie’s shoulders slumped. “Could…do you think we could catch up some time?”
“Isn’t that what we just did?” The question landed like a slap. Not cruel, just final.

Boden grabbed the door handle and pulled. He pulled harder. And harder still. “No go.”
Quinceberry clucked his tongue. “Well then. If we’re to make our pilgrimage, let’s see if there’s another point of ingress.”
“Pilgrimage to who? What god even was this?” He hadn’t meant to use the past tense. He’d been trained to keep using the present; to obscure the consequences, as it were. “Is this?”
Quinceberry gave him a sideways glance. “I’d have predicated that a man of your profession would recognize Loric.” He gestured toward the smirking face above the doors.
“Loric? Shadows and dreams, hm?”
“And thieves!” Quinceberry raised his index finger. “Don’t forget. Even petty thieves like, well, us.”

“He has cards?” Cailo couldn’t help but raise his voice in excitement. “I’anthal! Is this true? That you’ve a pack of cards?”

“Of course,” I’anthal called back. “One of the best ways to entertain myself on long nights.”

“He has cards!” Cailo repeated with a giggle and rubbed his hands together in glee. “I am going to destroy all of you in a game of keecan.”

“Not Alitzah. Laitheners don’t gamble or swear.” Oula replied.

“Pft! Cards is only gambling if there’s money involved. We can use other things, like chores and…twigs,” Cailo finished lamely but the smile stayed on his face. “I haven’t played keecan in years!”

From "Laughter of the Hunted Gods," my philosophical godpunk WIP. The Philosopher is about to make a deal with the devil (in the form of the assembled worldwide heads of state) as regards her life-extending suits, powered by divine life force. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

“Not all benefit from the sparksuits,” says President Golalbeh. “Some suffer injury or disease that the suits cannot counter.”
“We are aware, Mr. President. We have theurgicians working round the clock to improve the—”
“The poor.” Premier Katkera, the only head of state present who has declined a suit, rises. Without a suit, she looks gaunt and diminished. Her dark, exposed hair is grizzled with age. “Most cannot afford a sparksuit.”
I nod sadly. “That, too, we are aware of. The Theurgion does not contain enough spark to fuel them all, and the rare metals needed for—”
“And so,” Prime Minister Ptallikis says, “we propose a solution.”
“Truly?” My heart races with excitement. If the best minds in the world have come together and reasoned out a means of improving my inventions, of expanding their reach, I am eager to hear.

Andi had never believed in Jesus, but in the primal light of burning wood and a devilish parade of hair colours, piercings, and a lot more skin than she’d seen at the queer club, something felt sacrilegious. A celebration of the profane and unholy. As if someone might be sacrificed at any moment. As if they might enjoy it.

EXT. AN ALLEY ON A RUN-DOWN ESTATE - NIGHT
The dirty alley walls are lit by a dim orange light.
ON THE ALLEYWAY WALL
Newspaper front pages are stuck over faded ones
- ‘Freedom Tax Collector’s death ‘a terrorist incident.’
- ‘Nationwide search for Freedom Tax Collector killer.’
- ‘Gaunt doubles fines for late Freedom Tax payments.’
On the other wall, haphazardly plastered over other protest signs are fliers with caricature sketches of Gaunt, flapping in the icy wind. Each has a heading - ‘Proper Stupid.’

From "We Who Walk in Shadow," my #EpicFantasy WIP. Uinne, as a Greenwarden, is uniquely sensitive to the locust demon the Eagles of Avikella are facing. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Uinne sensed the demon moving about, off to the west. It felt… hungry. But that wasn’t quite right. It wanted to feel hungry. It hungered for hunger. She shuddered. “It mislikes it here. It wants—”
“To go home.” Oghor sounded even grimmer than usual. “We’ll send it there.”
Uinne patted her cudgel, hanging at her hip. “One way or the other.”
The dwarf led them to a broad stone building.
“The palace. That makes sense,” said Vilkassuuri. “Runes ready! Four corners. Seal off the entire palace till I give the word.”
Four runescribes headed for the outer corners of the building, to set mighty wards that should at least delay the demon’s entrance.

The three men stood on a ridge overlooking a town in the last light of the autumn sun. The roof of the ruined marble temple had clearly caved in long ago, and its windows yawned wide. The round walls of a few dilapidated cottages, their round walls of crumbling sandstone and chunks of marble plainly scavenged from the temple, cast long shadows across sere lawns nibbled to nubs by the occasional goat.
“Behold,” Quinceberry said, “the charming hamlet of Sensbury.”
