Chapter Seven is up! Let's see if seven is Malik's lucky number. https://gayauthors.org/story/cassieq/hazardous/7
-
Late in the evening, when the shadows grew long and with Arrir and most of the younger visitors put down to sleep, the majority of the group exited the house. Malik followed. The pyre sat fully constructed in a shallow depression in the ground, and there was also a large pile of kindling nearby, arranged for a fire. Some of the men were lighting torches and another man circled the group, offering out small stakes. Malik watched as Mythe, Nyrra and Rhaelce all took one as did Lyr

It's a rough chapter. Nyrra is too deeply mired in her grief right now, but if that changes, it can be bad news for Malik. Thank you for reading and commenting.

I don't know if my clinic has ICD 10 codes for lost a fight with Giant Ants. -
Ways to annoy your PTA: Show up late and then act like I'm the one inconveniencing you and also yell at me because you're mad about your insurance for good measure.

Plenty to read here, welcome!

That's not selfish and stingy. That's writing for the person that matters the most. Personal note: I tried my hand at WTNV fanfiction a while ago and it was so hard. Mad respect to writers who can do something I absolutely suck at.
-
It comes down to what you are comfortable with. If HP fanfiction isn't enjoyable, it's fine to not want to read it. (Even though I'm sure @Jeff Burton will knock it out of the park like he always does).

Rowling's transphobia is a controversial topic and it's up to the individual as how to manage that. For me, I have no problem with HP fanfiction. I enjoyed the books when they came out and she doesnt profit much from fanfiction. The books will be popular with or without it. I'm comfortable with the degree of separation that exists. However, I also grew up watching The Cosby Show and after hearing what I did about the lead actor, it is very hard for me to tolerate watching. And I wouldn't seek out fanfiction or additional content. So it just comes down to what we are comfortable with.

She's pretty terrifying. I try to placate her with chronic overwriting and sacrificing sleep.

Your muse sounds more subtle than mine. Mine would just shove you head first into a snow bank and walk away cackling.
-
Take a wrecking ball to it. I dare you.

I knew going in for the anthology that I might have to let the Secret Author contest slide. But it's hard to do that and see everyone else getting excited about it. So I guess I'll have to wait and see if I can carve some time out to write something fun. Gluttons for punishment, all of us.
-
I'm feeling ambivalent about the Secret Author as well. I like it generally but I'm juggling multiple projects and work is in its hectic season. Something might have to give.
-
I also don't have a 10K magical muse in my pocket.

When my aunt passed, my grandma told me that no parent should outlive their child. The death of a child leaves a deep wound, as you said. And yeah, Malik's mother is...something else. Thank you for reading and commenting!
-
I get what you're saying. Grief can pull people together in a way that most things can't, unfortunately. Also, it can do the opposite, as portrayed by Malik’s mother.
-
There's a lot of difficult things going on, but Malik is doing a great service with stepping up and helping his family through it, even through his own grief. Thank you for reading and commenting!

It's a rough time for everyone involved. Thank you for reading and commenting!
-
A lot of sad emotions and memories in this chapter. And you are correct, they're building a pyre. Naivres was attacked by something very large and very dangerous. More about that in upcoming chapters. Thank you for reading and commenting.!

I am perfectly capable of corrupting @Jeff Burton's muse.

I can handle dark and a little mean. Cause I'm a whole lot meaner. And it seems like a fair price for getting down 10,000 words in a single day. The most I've ever done was maybe 6--7,000.
