Note: So I've been away for dog's years. So long that I've been kicked out of GYWO (not that I've written anything of note in ages anyway). But I'm making an effort to come back!
Notes: A little something out of order, from The Lords of Kensington. I told myself I was going to post entirely linear for this novel, but this scene tackled me while I was listening to Great Big World's "Say Something" and it demanded sharing.

Notes: Oh Ryder. Always getting yourself in trouble. This was a fun one to write, not necessarily because of the "tension" (*snrk*) but because it's easy to forget sometimes that shiftkin are very much animals - they might have started their lives as humans but things change over the centuries. Sometimes the most appealing thing to an animal is being in the company of other animals.
Title: A Ticket to Ancol Harbour, Part 1 Word Count: 2492
Note: To keep me from getting burned out on my Lords of Kensington "short story" (hahahaha) I decided to write another short focusing on Azrin's backstory (the lovable, hyper-chatting minor character in LoK).
Title: Lords of Kensington, Part 17 Word Count: 2592
Note: I literally wrote this entire scene around the image of the sheets of magic at the end, shattering in slow motion while a car plows through them. Being a huge fan of awesome slow-motion crap in movies, I seriously couldn't resist. I also figured it was time I shared a fight scene where Ryder isn't getting his ass kicked. Dedicated to Seth, who not only looks great in red, but also has a tendency to jump off stairwells.

Note: I didn't forget about the Coronation Masquerade, the high-society event that Katrina managed to convince Ryder to attend with her. Of course, black tie events require shopping and what better chance to show our dynamic duo acting like normal people, even with all the bizarre crap happening to them? This piece is ultra-fluff - we'll return to our gratuitous violence in the next section.

Note: I've decided that I'm allowed to apologize for any "lots of dialogue" scene I write, except for ones where Atticus is speaking, because I am so not sorry for him on any level. XD
Title: Lords of Kensington, Part 14 Word Count: 2201
Note: I may be utterly infatuated with Atticus. Just saying. Also yes, this is a ton of talking and stuff and I'm sorry that I keep babbling with the nothing-writing but I could listen to him talk for days.
lrig_rorrim's recent flurry of poetry postings (and if you haven't read it you should, she is bloody brilliant with them) has gotten me in the mood to dabble in poetry again. I haven't decided if that's a good or bad thing yet (likely bad).
Title: Lords of Kensington, Part 11 Word Count: 1701
Note: I half-assed the hell out of this because I've been suffering from a wretched chronic pain flareup lately and I want to write about as much as I want to chew my own foot off. So this is ... it's bad. It's just wretchedly bad. But I'm keeping it for a couple amusing points of dialogue and the sake of actually making this meeting happen so I can get back to writing people being mauled by animals.
