Fantasy comedy about a magic knight trying to have a romance in his second language
Leif & Thorn prompts for #OTPober: Leif/Thorn/Kale, wedding comfy sweaters.
Kale has a flower crown of clovers, Thorn has hydrangeas (the kind that Ruby from SU got married in), and Leif has the gardenias he wore in the Summerfest storyline.
Complete with Niamh as the ringbearer, and Tiernan as the flower cat.
Also from the Twitter summary of this storyline: “Leif is: accessing locked data, but only for boring, non-suspicious reasons.”
Related: the character profiles list has been updated! Featuring important new arrivals like Atarangi’s headmates, Hermosa, and the color-coded vampire servants, especially Valrún.
And speaking of…readers, how do you feel about the cast page? Do you like the “characters are placed in loose groups with their co-workers/families/friends” organization? Would it be easier if the groups were spelled-out and separated with different sub-headings (e.g. “knights”, “mages”, “Embassy staff”)? Or maybe easier if I went in the other direction, did away with the grouping-by-association completely, and just put everyone in alphabetical order?
Are there characters you’ve gone looking for on the cast page, but they still aren’t there? It’s not supposed to be a comprehensive list of every minor character — that’s what the wiki is for — but I don’t want to leave out anybody too major, either.
This “explaining upfront what you mean/asking for clarification if you need it” strategy really works, huh?
And don’t worry, we have plenty of other sources of narrative tension to draw from. Including “Kale is now trying really hard to suppress certain mental images.”
From a Twitter summary of this storyline: “Thorn is: Considering how many laws he’ll break & what dark magical deals he’ll enter to let his bf have non-compromised sex.”
Ducks in this world have fangs and claws, as established way back in this Tumblr Q&A. For whatever reason, this doesn’t make rubber duck debugging any less effective.
The teacher here is Dave, a backer cameo from the BICP Master’s Edition Kickstarter.
…yes, I put cameos in those rewards. Even though there’s, well, not a whole lot of opportunities to put new faces in BICP. Luckily, there’s enough audience crossover that most people reported they’d be fine with a Leif & Thorn cameo too — so keep an eye out for the rest.
