SalesReport: November

Summary: Low sales month compared to the last one, hampered by two or three dickweeds dissatisfied customers who bought at least ten different stories and then immediately sent them back. I'm absolutely certain that they didn't save a copy off line to read anyway. [/sarcasm] Also for some reason there were absolutely no overseas this month, for not particular reason I could see.

Things to Do: Still plugging away at Shadow of her Sins, albeit slowly. Doubt if I'm going to finish it before the end of the year, but hopefully I will before the end of January or February.

365 Days of Drabbles, Day 205

Trying to catch up...

For mmegaera: “Happily Ever After.”

“Son, think this through,” the King begged. “She's a commoner.”

“She's a beautiful commoner,” the Prince countered. “Beautiful enough to have the Witch of the Mills steal her face.”

“Granted, but she's still a commoner. She's going to have to bear an heir.”

“If you're going to make me argue for her hip size, I'm moving out. Look, she's clever, quick of tongue, and I love her. That's enough.”

“Yes, but any child she bears will not be of noble blood.”

“You married a tree.”

“She was a dryad. Don't change the subject.”

365 Days of Drabbles, Day 206

For avanti_90: “Sucking out a plant's soul.”

“Just stay calm. The ship's autofabber is going to manually disassemble the plant from around you.”

“Tell it to hurry, my neck is killing me.”

A blur of nanomachines surrounded her, and the frozen plant rapidly turned to dust, carried away to the ship's lab. She fell back to the floor, her exo-suit finally retracting to her uniform belt.

“Ah.”

“Oh, what now?”

“The good news you're safe. The bad news is that apparently the silica plant was sentient... and... fast.”

“Eh?”

“It's in the shipmind... and it's got control of life support.”
