truepennyBecause I'm at that antsy stage of finishing a book where I'd rather be working on anything else, here's the list of all the things I could be working on:
1. The Mirador: So to begin with, General Mercator was dead.
2. Summerdown: Suddenly, Mildmay said, "I ain't taking this no more."
3. Richard Estæth
4. The Emperor of the Elflands (associated Artist's Challenge, Engineering for Elves)
5. "Somewhere Beneath Those Waves Was Her Home" (Artist's Challenge): The selkie stands at the window, staring out at the sea.
6. Dark Sister (associated Artist's Challenge, Spider's Rose: Long ago, in a world none of them can remember, the vampires were taught to dance.
7. Eating the Dark Flower (started as a Haiku Earring Challenge), about opium dens in Faerie
8. Sidhe Tigers (Artist's Challenge. Unlike the published story with this title, this one is filed under "post-colonial literature of elves." Also? Baseball.)
9. The House at the End of the World: When Sebastian Marlin became a man, there was no one to celebrate with.
10. The Second Son: On the twenty-fourth of April, Medraut dreamed of Loheris again.
11. "The Bride of Nyarlathotep"
12. "Under Babylon": Mick Sharpton's howl of outrage--"oh fuck no!"--was clearly audible in the junior agents' office.
13. untitled Ghoul Hunters story: The Renault case refused to break. Snapshots of the victims had gone up on the corkboard in the briefing room, one by one, and most of the agents in the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations' southeast hub could recite their names by heart: Lydia Renault, age 27; Mary Anne Sumner, age 24; Dale Kelton, age 25; Joella Barber, age 24. And they were waiting, sick and helpless, for number five.
14. untitled Ghoul Hunters novel
15. "Thirdhop Scarp": It was an open question in the Parrington Museum which of Samuel Mather Parrington's two daughters was more to be feared.
16. "To Die for Moonlight": I cut off her head before I buried her.
17. pick a Booth story premise, any story premise
18. "The Queen in Winter": There were five queens in the creche.
19. "The Log of the Lavinia Whately"
20. "The Hostage Crisis on the Derelict Mistral Freighter D35-692N-C, Queen of Liverpool": The Mistral Freighter D35-692N-C, Queen of Liverpool, had been grounded for thirty years, since the successful implementation of Chen and Tiedemann's q-curve drive had made her and all her sisters obsolete.
21. "Hitler's Kiss"
22. untitled story: the revenge of the great forests, with matriarchal werewolves
23. Unfallen: Nephis cannot remember Heaven.
24. Schrödinger's Parable of the Cat/Moscow Rules remix of The Marriage of True Minds: The heat in Hylant Station was like nothing Tanasestefeth had ever imagined.
25. The White Devil: Since I was a little girl, I've always told my father my dreams. Except for one.
26. untitled Mélusine AU: The fight ended in a flurry of motion and a sudden spray of blood.
27. "Ruined Beauty": He had been beautiful. Before the smallpox.
28. The Aftermath of the Glastalvon Rebellion/The Bride of Vranar: Cuthbert Swetenham, who had been the ninth Earl of Glastalvon, rose to his feet as the transparent fourth wall of his cell vanished. It worried him, a little, how something that was already invisible could vanish, but he had no other words to describe the phenomenon.
29. untitled story about Cardenio Richey and Vey Coruscant's copy of Artemisia de Charon's Principia Caeli
30. untitled story: Menopause came early to Queen Avar.
I'm not sure whether listing everything out like that is appalling or reassuring. At least I don't have to worry about a shortage.
