microsff_feed“I am actually a princess,” the frog said.
“Oh no!” said the prince.
“My curse can only be lifted by a prince listening to me.”
“Of course,” said the prince, and bent down with puckered lips.
“What are you doing?!”
“Kissing you, like you asked!”
“No!”
The frog hopped away, muttering.

dw_maintenanceWe're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.
Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Jun. 26th, 2025 11:33 pmmicrosff_feedIt’s a sensitive subject among dragons, hoards. It’s not polite to admit you compare sizes, though most do. And questioning another dragon’s choice of subject is just not done.
Except… hoards are, above all else, meant to be valuable.
“Face it, Fafnir. It was a fad.”
“I love my Beanie Babies!”
“What does your infernal device do?” Captain Clever asked while locking the handcuffs.

“It’s a hopebeam,” Dr. Dastard said. “When I start it, everyone in the city will find hope that things can change.”
“Why?”
“So they’ll get disappointed and buy my ice cream to cope.”
“Hm. How do I turn it on?”

Jun. 21st, 2025 08:21 pmwychwood( 46. Random in Death - JD Robb ) Another solid book! These are just fun.
( 47. Orbital - Samantha Harvey ) I don't know if I'll want to re-read this, but it was rather beautifully done.
( 48. Masquerades of Spring - Ben Aaronovitch ) Frothy and extremely charming.
( 49. The Two Towers - JRR Tolkien ) Usually the middle book is the weakest of the trilogy, but honestly: so much is happening here.
( 50. Saint Death's Daughter - CSE Cooney ) There was a lot about this that was Not My Thing, but there was enough in the worldbuilding and plotting that really did work for me that I'm sort of... reluctantly considering the sequel. Comparators: a bit of less-depressing Gormenghast, maybe some Gideon the Ninth with fewer pop culture references? I definitely think there's an audience for this book, if they can find it.
( 51. Listening Together - Timothy Radcliffe ) It was a good reminder for me of some approaches I can try with people I respect but disagree with, at least.
( 52. Feminism is for Everybody - bell hooks ) A good introduction, and still more relevant than I would like! But more basic than I think I want these days.

“Why are they calling me an Evil Overlord?” the Evil Overlord said.
Jun. 21st, 2025 03:16 pmmicrosff_feed“Why are they calling me an Evil Overlord?” the Evil Overlord said.
“There is a saying that ‘evil starts with treating people as things’,” a minion said.
“So? I treat all people with dignity and respect!”
“You often change your definition of who’s 'people’, though.”
“Doesn’t everybody?”
Icons That Need Homes
Jun. 20th, 2025 09:16 pmjayregee posting in iconsI am getting rid of these icons. They need a good home. Want any of them? Some were made when I was just beginning to make icons so their appearance may not be up to code.

“I worry about the prince,” the king said.
Jun. 19th, 2025 02:13 pmmicrosff_feed“I worry about the prince,” the king said.
“What is the issue?” said the witch.
“We held balls with all eligible ladies, but he found none. So we held tourneys, with all eligible knights. Still none.”
“There are those who seek none.”
“So none can turn his head?”
“Perhaps. Ask him.”
“Amazing!”
