This is from my fun little Ridolet Stables fic…

“Are we totally crazy?” Violet asks once we are alone. “What do you mean?” I ask, my brow furrowing.  “We came here to adopt one dog and now we are seriously considering three 100+ pound dogs?” She shakes her head, chuckling.  “We have the space and we have so much love to give, Vi. If they all get along and the shelter thinks Liam and Xaden may even be bonded…” “You’re right. Why choose?” she smiles broadly.

I’m tagging @tegantales and @saranova

WIP Wednesday

This week’s word is “Escape” and this comes from my fluffy “Ridolet Stables” WIP…

My hand tightens its grip on her thigh and I feel the blood rush from my face. “Are all of the horses okay?” I ask.

“Yes, luckily Sawyer arrived a few minutes later and saw Mr. Barlowe’s truck peeling out of our driveway. He quickly closed the gate to the property so no horses were able to escape to the road.

Navarre Records Presents... The Finale! 😭

The last chapter of Navarre Records Presents... is now live on AO3

[lizardrunclub]

WIP Wednesday

The last chapter of Navarre Records Presents... is taking a bit longer than I expected due to some life events, but in the meantime, here is a fun snippet 😊

“Why does Garrick look like a kid in a candy store?” Bodhi’s voice carries across the pool as he walks in with Ridoc. “Violet and Garrick are making a deal to get Xaden to wear one of those inflatable dinosaur costumes,” Liam deadpans before laughing at Bodhi’s confused face. “I have a rainbow unicorn one!” Ridoc squeals, clapping his hands together. “We could wear them together!”  I groan and scrub my face with my hands, while Violet giggles behind her hands in the lounge chair next to me. I really hope they don’t come in a size large enough to fit my 6’4” frame.

Reasons people may decline to comment or kudos on fanfiction they enjoyed:

They consider comments and kudos transactional compensation to the author, and they don't feel that the work was good enough to deserve compensation, or they don't believe they owe compensation to fan authors in general.

They consider comments and kudos as feedback, and they don't feel that the author wants or needs feedback from them.

However, comments and kudos aren't compensation, and they aren't even necessarily feedback either.

Comments and kudos for fan authors are:

encouragement to keep writing

reciprocation of a bid for connection

interaction with your community

confirmation that they're not the only one interested in their story

Please don't consider comments, or especially kudos, purely transactional or purely a form of feedback. Comments and kudos are a way to show authors in your community that you're glad they're there.

Authors aren't "entitled" to kudos or comments, but readers aren't "entitled" to fic, either.

Fanfiction is a community, and when an author repeatedly reaches out to their community for connection only to receive silence in return it is very discouraging and can result in the author withdrawing from the community altogether.

Navarre Records Presents… Chapter 16

Live now on AO3!

WIP Wednesday

I am apparently cursed to forever be a day late on these, but better late than never… For the @ficwip word this week (hair)

It was Conscription Day at the beginning of my third year and I was assigned to take roll at the base of the turret with the scribes. I saw him down the line, his auburn hair reflecting the sun like burnished copper. When he finally reached the front of the line and I looked up into those amber eyes, my breath caught in my throat. He offered me a sly smile before he gave his name to the scribe next to me. His father hugged him warmly before Brennan stepped out of his embrace. His mother—then Colonel, not General, Sorrengail, but just as intimidating then as she is today—stood a few paces away and offered him a curt nod before he turned toward the turret.
