A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:
"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

"Spend" - #wipsnips from chapter 5, meet Maura's parole officer Miles Ladon, aka And Then There's This Asshole

#writesky #amwriting #writingcommunity
"You spent over fifty dollars at someplace called Bruja Burger?" "Not all at once. They've got good burgers. And they have a live band every other Wednesday." "I've never heard of this place." "It's only been open like, six months, I think? They have a food truck that posts up downtown, too, that's how I found out about the brick-and-mortar." "On Sandy Boulevard. That's a fair distance out of your way." I had nothing to say to that. This man really expected me to confine my movement in this city to work and my apartment? Clearly I was making surreptitious forays into the northeast district to make a major drug deal in a bougie fast-casual, you ass. -excerpt from Scoundrel

16.5 k words out of a rough goal of 100 k, or wherever the story ends.

Also, what inspired Scoundrel?

... it was being disappointed with Log Horizon specifically and isekai/portal-fantasy in general.

My dear friend Maya has just published her first novel.
"As thrones tremble and gods stir, three lives converge in a world where liberation comes at the highest cost—and the most dangerous truth is the one you’re born to uphold.
What if The Devil was your only way out?"

("Little" might be one of my worst filler words. There's way too many instances.)

Maura's technique to make friends is to just act like you're already besties. It works rather well and she'll need that when shit gets real later on.

"Hello again." The woodshaper harpy visibly flinched and looked up, frozen with one hatchling pinned under a wing and the other hatchling slipping out of reach to tumble right into the (still unlit, fortunately) makeshift hearth. "Oh— I didn't see you— Suna, get out of there— I'm sorry again about earlier—" I stopped her with a hand up and a warm chuckle. "No need. You've clearly got your hands full with these two. Come on, there's plenty room at the oldmother's hearth with me. I could carry your things if you need to grab the little ones." She blinked, her mouth opening and shutting a few times before she could stammer out a response. "Y-yes, I... thank you." "I'm Maura." She flashed me a small, shy smile as I picked up her little platter of food. "...Rafa." -excerpt from Scoundrel

The wait is finally over!!! My first piece for @tfbigbang.bsky.social is here! I had the time of my life distilling otooga's beautiful words onto canvas.

Stay tuned if you want to know what happens after Optimus flies into Unicron (and explodes)!

Re-upping this blog post, since I just heard from an author who hired what looked like a self-publishing service provider but actually was a ghostwriting scam, and just got hit up for $9,000 for a book order scam writerbeware.blog/2025/05/09/t...

"Might" - Maura is getting a taste of harpy clannishness and has some thoughts to share.

"Who is she, oldmother? Is it wise to let a stranger paw through your stock like that?" Someone murmured as I went inside later for another jug of wine. Rude. I was literally just inside the entrance. My tailfeathers hadn't even cleared the drape. "Oh, Maura? She had a bit of a mishap yesterday and needed a rest, that's all," Izoma was telling them, in a breezy dismissive tone. "She's been such good help, though, don't you go scaring her off." -excerpt from Scoundrel

No mire, but a marsh. And the first clue that all is not well in the jungle nation of the Singing Tree.

"Where are you from?" Izoma asked. "A bit chancy to be traveling alone. Where's your coterie?" "My—" A coterie was like a group or a gang, right? I gave that a firm maybe; context was not my friend right now. "I don't really have one." Izoma paused again, her head tilted and brows furrowed in concern. "Oh my, I should have guessed. So many are coming from the downriver groves lately. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be insensitive." So this dream came with jargon and lore, why not. "Don't worry about it. I don't." "If you say so. They say Blue Marsh is completely unlivable now. What a shame. They used to have the best snail-roe I've ever tasted— once cost me twenty drops to have just one little jug delivered this far, and that was ages ago..." -excerpt from Scoundrel
