    “What do you mean by entering the Mech Pilot’s Tournament?” Miralle yelled, charging into the General Studies classroom. The other students shrank to the edges of the room, except for the target of his outburst, the Fourth Princess Shylrane, her bodyguard Akshi, and, of course, #NiaListon #TheMercilessMaiden.

    Shylrane remained calm and answered. “Nia urged me to enter, and I decided she was right. I may lose, but I’m going to give it my best try.”

    “You don’t have a mech knight, and even if you did, you abandoned us. All for that foreigner!” Miralle shot Mia a disgusted look. His red face, flying spittle, and wild gestures made it clear that he was the least stable student on the mech knight track. The school would have expelled him long ago if he hadn’t been one of the top students. Few pilots rivaled his skill with the behemoth constructs.

    “I intend to take you all down with my bare hands.”

    “No one but that foreign freak can take down one of our knights unarmed!” he yelled. Enraged, he drew the #saber at his side, a move that nearly cost him his life as Askshi moved to protect the princess. She would have killed him too if Nia hadn’t intervened. Before anyone even registered her motion, she threw Askshi and sent her sword flying across the room.

    In the silence that followed, everyone could hear Nia say, “If she can’t deal with this threat, she has no business being my student.”

    Askshi, still on the ground, didn’t have time to respond before Miralle screamed, “Awwwh,” and charged Shylrane.

    The fight was over as fast as it had begun. There was a clang, and the saber flew across the room, joining Askshi’s sword.

    The princess ignored her stunned opponent and ran up to Nia, grabbing her hands. “Mistress, I felt it. The chi! I felt it. It moved.”

    “Of course, the threat of death is the best teacher,” Nia said.

  3. Polymorphous Perverse

    #FanFic #TitanicVoyage @juliebihn
    #Wss366 Principle #ScribesAndMakers Polymorphous #TimeTravelAuthors 08/8. What ever

    Desc: Rocky, Rocky, Rocky. (Prequel to Titanic Voyage)

    “Hey, put on some clothes.”

    Liam’s shout startled Rocky. Looking down at his attire, he saw no problem: a tatty t-shirt bearing an image of a decade-past rock idol, and cut-offs that might be a tad short, but they kept him cool. The ride’s control room was air-conditioned, but the Arizona summer heat still crept in.

    “Oh, you mean those,” he said, gesturing to the figures on the computer monitor. “I stole the models from ‘Poly and Murphy’s Grand Adventure.’ It’s not like they have genitals or anything.”

    “Yeah, those. Guests are complaining about naked figures in the staterooms.”

    “Wow, did they escape containment! That will teach me to take a shortcut and use CoderGX2 to help develop my new game.”

    Rocky looked over his code and quickly spotted the error and corrected it. “Good thing I hadn’t launched the exe. That one…” He pointed to the buxom, genitalless female figure. “I call her #Polymorphous Perverse. She can change form and can cause her opponents to regress in age.”

    He laughed. “That might have caused an uproar. But the publicity would have boosted attendance. I can see it: ‘Naked Superhero Appears on Titanic Ride.’ or maybe ‘Immaculate Births on Titanic.’”

    “Put clothes on her!” Liam insisted.

    “Why? No one but me will see her. Besides, little girls play with dolls that look like this all the time. No one complains except about Poly’s bust size.”

    “It’s the #principle.”

    “Geez, Liam, get a girlfriend and leave me alone.”

  5. I started another #fanfic. It's #TADC again, and it's one of those "what if one thing was different" deals:

    Comments are highly appreciated, be they constructive criticism, guesses, or whatever else that's not overly negative.

  7. Rocky’s Treat

    “I think it’s funny,” Clara said.

    She stood wide-eyed in front of the counter at a small café at one end of the town’s only mall. Clara had adjusted to the mall more quickly than Liam had expected. ‘It’s just like a shopping street in New York—brighter, cleaner and covered—but not that different.’

    The movie they had gone to, “Lieutenant Nightingale,” was quite another thing. She had been stunned.

    “I saw ‘The Miser’s Heart,’ and that was nothing like that movie,” Clara said of the film. “I prefer the kind of moving pictures Mary Pickford used to star in."

    "They were so casual about the 'you know what.'" She blushed. "But I liked that Miss Nightingale wasn’t a poor little thing. Little Kathy was so useless in ‘Miser’s Heart.’ But Barrymore, the thief, was dreamy. But this had so much color and sound; you could hear what they said.”

    They had just left the #Paramount film “Lieutenant Nightingale,” a superhero film picked by Rocky. “I pay, I pick um,” he had said.

    Liam was just happy that his friend had settled on a film featuring a female superhero. If he had had more money, he would have taken Clara to something more romantic, but being unemployed and the expense of setting Clara up in an apartment had drained what little resources he had. It was all he could do to treat them to a drink at the Mesa Café.

    “What’s funny?” Rocky asked.

    Clara pointed to a candy jar on the counter. “Penny candy that cost a quarter.”

    “It’s just a saying,” Liam explained.

    Meanwhile, Rocky picked out a pink gummy worm and paid for it. “Here, Clara. Bet you’ve never had candy like this.”

    She looked dubiously at the long pink thing he handed her.

    “Go on, take a bite,” Rocky prompted.

    Liam opened his mouth to protest, but too late. Clara took a bite, then made a face. “You’re so #mean, Rocky! It’s #sour!”

    “What did you expect?” He pointed to the label on the jar, which read “Extra sour peach gummy worms.”

  9. If you're curious, I posted the first story in the small series.

    A necromancer, Damir, meets an enchantress and has no idea what to do with her. She's mysterious yet she is also determined to help him. He has traveled to Caldeum and Mount Arreat, battling the demon lords known as Azmodan and Belial. Eirena does what she can for him.

    This is their beginning.

    (This takes place during Act II of Diablo III, but it isn't said exactly when. This is also Part 1 of the "Hellraiser" Series.)

  11. How #Nolan Castrated #Homer

    Just watched #Odyssey - a $250M #fanfic with Discovery Channel narration energy. I'd pay real money for a Sean Connery voice-clone doing that narration, gravel and all.

    I didn't steal a single beat from it. I learned what to avoid: swapping the ancient, bloody satisfaction of revenge for therapy-speak - "let go," "accept yourself," "walk away."

    Homer's hero fights to reclaim his home.
    This one just leaves it.

  13. #PennedPossibilities 1087 — Friday Word Edition: In honor of a friend (@thatwriterellie), we’re using a word once per week. Share something from your WIP pertaining to the word “struggle.”

    (Posting this early because I have plans later. It's karaoke night!)

    This excerpt isn’t from my new Paranormal & Gothic Romance novel. It’s from a story for The Hour that I’m working on. You’ll find the word “struggle” here, and it absolutely makes sense, given the context of the conversation. I always have to be writing something, even if it’s just fanfiction for friends and happy, eager subscribers. It makes my heart happy.

    The full story is here: archiveofourown.org/works/8097

  14. Strange Worlds: Meeting Least the World Should End

    #FanFic #AdachiAndShimamura
    #Wss366 Proof #ScribesAndMakers π30 Smol?

    “Private Shimamura, who’s the #smol?” Staff Sergeant Hoshino asked. “Your niece?”

    At the sergeant’s words, I looked up from the indifferent food the cafeteria served and was surprised by the little girl sitting on the table next to me. Not in a chair, but actually seated cross-legged on the table. It was a mystery to me how she got there without my noticing.

    She was a total stranger, even if she seemed familiar. I’d remember a girl in a zebra onesie and with blue hair that gave off sparkles. They drifted in the slow currents of the room’s stagnant air. I shrugged accepting her presence: #proof of how accustomed we had become to strange things in the last few years. I quickly glanced out the window and then turned back to the girl.

    Sparkles-san greeted me with a smile, dipping a finger into the pudding on my tray. “Tastes like destiny,” she said, licking her finger. Well, at least someone seemed to enjoy the glue that passed for dessert here.

    My gaze returned to the window beyond her. Gigantic, brown, Zeppelin-like jellyfish floated out there, no stranger than my mystery guest. Only a few years ago, that sky would have been clear blue. That was before they had invaded Earth; the day my family had moved to Okinawa.

    We would have the invaders shot down by evening, but there were always more by morning, slowly consuming anything their tentacles brushed. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. had been right when he said, “The world would end with a whimper, not a bang.” I’d heard that on TV.

    The sergeant turned to his aide of the day, saying, “Private Adachi-san, see that the young lady is escorted to the nursery.”

    “At once, Sergeant,” Adachi-san said. She was pretty, even with her short regulation haircut and severe uniform. She was new to the unit, and I’d be seeing a lot of her in the future.

    I didn’t know it then, but the strange blue-haired alien was right. It was destiny.
