The Bookacy Family Alphabet Journal

Prompt: Tomorrow is another day (esmeiolanthe)
Words: 273
Universe: canon Strangetown, during chapter 1
Warnings: none

Yet more Strangetown. And look, I managed not to write a novel, too. Yay?

( Groundhog day )

And I'm quite surprised, this one makes it into a Myshuno for me - on time! Proof:

( Proof of the card kind )

Prompt: Betrayal by a close friend (fairphantom92)
Words: 380
Universe: canon Strangetown, after the first lift
Warnings: a few bad words here and there

Some Villains or Heroes for a change, and well, nothing too surprising considering the prompt. It's a bit more in depth about Sal's feelings than we saw in the chapter. Also, I'm not 100% happy with it, but isn't that more or less always the case? Anyway, here it is!

( False information )

Prompt: Trying to calm someone down (silverbelle1220, in Myshuno 2012)
Words: 967
Universe: canon Alphabetia, a takeout during chapter 36 (Chris and Cyrus' wedding)
Warnings: none

Okay, so, I haven't been terribly productive with this Myshuno thing, real life has been taking a lot of energy, so I've been distracted by Civ V mostly on my free time. If I don't step up with the writing, making a Myshuno on time will be hard... Well, we'll see. Here's the first one anyway, it's one of the old prompts from 2012.

( What a wedding )

Myshuno is here again! I thought I'd give it a shot, maybe it would get me into writing mood again. And in the previous years it's been fun. I've tended to get a Myshuno but not get any further than that. Well, every prompt written is more than zero prompts!

Anyway, I was meaning to say, if you'd like to give it a try, go ahead, it's fun! Also, if you haven't already prompted me and would like to, you can do so here. :)

Prompt: "And that's how it happened." (superfr0g)
Words: 429
Universe: could be canon, during gen. D's childhood
Warnings: Silliness

Another kind of silly one. These two have not really appeared in chapters much, they are very much background characters at this point. But Clarissa is one of my gen. C second cousins, and Daniel is her son with boyfriend Glen (Author+Curty -> Arthur+Meadow -> Bonnie+Thomas -> Clarissa+Glen -> Daniel). And as a clarification to the short that follows: he's got to have quite a bunch by now.

( Mystery newspapers )

Prompt: Chris trying to subtly convey her feelings for Cyrus (docnerd)
Words: 730
Universe: could be considered canon, during generation C's college years
Warnings: overdose of obliviousness

My second prompt already, yay! Had to think about this one a bit. The obliviousness is sort of hard to write, even though I tend to be the same way myself. Maybe that's why.

( Four letter word )

Since people seem to be posting their Myshuno! cards, I finally remembered to make mine.

( Card! )

Prompt: Why taking revenge on the descendants of your enemy makes total sense (by mzyra)
Words: 919
Universe: canon Alphabetia, some time around chapter 33 or 34
Warnings: twisted villain-logic

Fourth prompt already, yay! This is canon-ish, although I don't think it'll be included in a chapter.

In other news, I decided I'm allowed to play through the mini-rotation at college before I start shooting the massive plottiness that is Cyrus and Chris' wedding. So I started on that, and it feels good to get to play Alphabetia a bit. :) I also realize I should continue with the autumn picspam I was doing before, although now the pictures are a little old.

Anyway, for now, have some Sal & Komei:

( Deep Thoughts )

Prompt: Nicholas at the Bookacy Greek House Greek House after Cho has left for Alphabetia (by docnerd)
Words: 929
Universe: canon Alphabetia (or Sim State University) a little bit after the end of chapter 33, but there's nothing that you wouldn't already know
Warnings: curse word here and there, excessive gloom, very slight implications

So my second prompt already? Wow, this is going better than I expected. I might even score a Myshuno some time this century. In other news: only a week left of my renovation unless anything disastrous happens, yay! Also, I'm still working on chapter 34 and it's going a lot smoother than any of my recent chapters, which is nice. Currently 46 slides written. Also, not to be too distractionless (it'd probably be horrible if I had no distractions and could concentrate on what I'm trying to do, right?), I started an undocumented, just-for-fun apocalypse on my laptop. But fear not, apocalypses are so hard that I tend to give up in the first generation anyway.

But yeah, lot's of gloom this way. May I present: "Emptiness", starring Nicholas Charvat.

( Emptiness )

Alright, as I said, no promises and no deadlines, I get enough of the latter at work. But, I've made my Myshuno card:

( Myshuno card here )

Alright, so I'm looking forward to October when this starts. :) For now, I'll try to get back to my chapter writing - which is actually going kinda nice this time *is surprised*. All pictures are pre-arranged and I've got *checks* 21 slides written. Yay! Fingers crossed it keeps going well.
