It's #lesficfri!!

I can't say that any of my characters are particularly smooth, but it is a term that crops up a lot ^^

And as for Esper (who might be a little 'fox'), being in situation with something smooth is not to her liking at all...

books2read.com/u/mlq7lv

Cover for Esper and the Witch, a trans sapphic litrpg/romance, with the following excerpt:

Esper howled and thrashed around. She was entangled in something, and she was not at all happy about that. Yes, it was soft and smooth, but it was all over her, constricting her, and she did not like that. Not one bit. She paused, seeing if it would react at all, and then when it didn’t, thrashed some more, feeling a bit of give in one direction. Finally, a way out. Mustering all of her strength, she launched herself in that direction.

And fell to the ground with an unceremonious thump, whatever it had been that had been restraining her falling behind her.

It was all a little too familiar. She was in that place again. Somehow, they had found her again, and that irritated her no end. She was going to have to do a better job at hiding herself. No breeze this time either, no open window. Her captors had obviously worked out how she had escaped last time.

That just meant that she had to find a different way out.
