If there was one, I don't think I would tell.

#PennedPossibilities 1118: Name a catastrophic event that occurred in your world / universe.
#TimeTravelingGhost: We have the Cretaceous–Paleogene Extinction Event. Seems more relevant when you were there.
#KonbiniIdol: There is the "Empress's Gift." Catastrophic enough that I even CW the portion where it is discussed in detail (Spoiler).

#ScribesAndMakers – 4th Sept. Reverse of last month's question: if e-books stopped being produced, how much would you miss them?
A bunch. 90% of what I read is ebooks. I'm trying to downsize my physical lib. too. So nice to have my complete library on one device.
Anyone in the Seattle area could probably talk me into giving them lucky boxes of yuri manga.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 3rd Sept. How does what you read influence what you write?
Sometimes it gives me writing ideas. I often write fanfic or Pastiches.
Or I study problems with it or things I appreciate.

#WritersCoffeeClub AU 3: Are your narrators a diegetic part of the world which they narrate?
Fiction
I think so. My stories are told in the first person by articulate characters.
I rarely use footnotes or parenthetical inserts.
Poetry / Photos / Hiabun
When I combine poetry and photography (hiabun), the poetry would be non-diegetic if I understand the word correctly.
Below is a sample of a non-diegetic mix from 2022

.14: #WebAuthorsCafe 10/20-10/26: Show us your talent, share a spooky 100-word drabble. (exactly 100 words excluding the title, hashtags and any comments you make.
#百物語 #HyakuMonogatari: 15 Immortality 永遠
Only darkness and silence, except for the tap, tap, tap of Elderkin's held hands. A slow conversation passed from one to the next. A rhythm that kept the emptiness at bay. They shared memories from when there were suns, planets, and even further back, to when life existed. Memories of hunting warm blood and the promise of eternal life.
Now, only the perpetually tormented by a hunger that could no longer be fed remained, along with the tap, tap, tap.
Tap, tap, tap. The Founder said Myrien had uttered rebellion.
Hands let go.
Myrien spun off into entropy's eternal stasis.

#SundayLit (#Happy & #Sad) #Wss366 #WordWeavers 10.5 — Antagonist sadness?A smile touched his lips, like a frost bloom on iron-hard ground: brittle, cold, and easily erased.
His eyes focused on the decaying Victorian on the hill. Mother would be so proud of his cleverness.
She had been so upset when the sheriff came by to ask questions about the abandoned car on Ashcreek Lane. Her shrill voice—a searing, shrieking wind, orphaned sparrows #piping under eaves, and the whistle of a willow cane—blew the crystal away.
But he was cleverer now. His eyes followed the bubbles emerging from the muddy bog, and with them, a full smile welled.

CW: #Wss366 #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt : Cats and Food
Minashi-by-the-Sea (Greetings)
#Wss366 #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt 8/18
The caravan descended the hills of Neither Lang with hurried steps toward fabled Minashi-by-the-Sea, passing through plum and sakura trees in eternal bloom.
No guards greeted them, for none dared invade. The bones of three times three armies lay bleaching on Neither Lang’s slopes, and none knew what dread curse had felled them.
Instead, crickets in bamboo cages and bush warblers perched on open fretted enclosures serenaded them as they #filed through ivory gates. Then, the merchants lining the streets sang out their wares: salt-cured #limes, cocoa #nibs, flower petal silks, and food—sakura mochi, citrus tuna, roasted lime-slaked corn, and chiled sprats.
The travelers hurried to cedar-shaded inns, famous for eel stews redolent with rosemary and pickled limes. With their camels stabled and wares piled high for sale the next day, they sought beds with fine linen sheets sprinkled with lime blossoms.
Thus, Kurotsuki Kaibyō, the dream-stealing catkin, came to Minashi-by-the-Sea.

Goldenrod and Dandelions
アキノキリンソウとダンディライオン
🐰 #IsTheOrderARabbit 🐰 #FanFiction
Syaro sighed, “A double shift, and on my birthday too. Being poor is hard.”
It would have been a lovely evening with a golden haze on the hills and quaint shops preparing to close if only it weren’t so hot. Instead, the sun beat down on her, more like molten #gold than a gilded evening greeting. Even the cobblestones radiated heat.
It had been a long day. The second-shift girl had gotten sick at the last minute, and customers looking for a shady place to sit and a cooling tea flooded the Fleur de Lapin café. Iced Lapin Glacé was popular, and there had been half a dozen orders for the less popular Concomelon de Lapin. But none of her friends had visited.
She was worn out and depressed. If she were Cocoa or Chino, everyone would have dropped by without fail. Not even her best friend Chiya had come by.
She was rounding the last corner home when she glimpsed Rize darting from behind a hedge. “Oh, it’s a surprise party,” she thought, cheering up. She wouldn’t let Rize know she’d spotted him. Letting them think they’d surprised her was more important. Why had she doubted them?
A smile touched her lips, a genuine one, not her usual customer-service smile.
She paused at the threshold, breath held. She’d expected a surprise, but not like this. Golden blooms lay gathered at her feet: goldenrod, goldsturm, hawkweed, and dandelions, bright as summer laughter.
“How wonderful!” She began gathering an armful of blooms to put in a vase when her smile froze. Wild Geese, her self-invited bunny housemate, had come around the corner, a #plant in its mouth and a mischievous twinkle in its eye. Syaro’s eyes fastened on the golden yellow blossom of the tansy.
“At least Wild Geese remembered,” she said. Bitter and unhappy, she took her wildflower bouquet into the house.
Sunflowers
Glorious SunflowersAlong the wall, hanging from the ceiling, in bunches or singly, the room smiled at her.
On the table stood a yellow cake, its thick whipped frosting as soft and light as a pale yellow peony, with the words “Happy Birthday!!!” in marigold letters.
All her friends began singing to the blushing Syaro.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.Then, Syaro nearly fainted as Rize presented her with a bunch of yellow roses. “Rize...” she thought, “roses.” Her mind drifted like buttercups on a stream. All she could do was mutter, “Senpai.”
Happy birthday, dear Syaro.
Happy birthday to you.🐇 #GochiUsa 🐇 #ごちうさ 🐇
