I am sort of hoping that Jafar still will try to marry him xD

Well, the alien shards have an influence similar to your threads, but I was asking because much of what Flynn did was creation of minions, but she could also grant or change powers.

I haven't read your Organisation sandboxes yet, but totally going to now so I can know who Alex is. :)

figuring out how to sandbox.

If Jafar tried that, it'd be hilarious.

True, I guess she would be a high level master then, but she would have trouble controlling her minions.

I'm still tossing up whether I should glowfic or not. Like. I *really* want to, but I have biploar which makes me pretty unpredictable. Like I'll be replying and going great for a couple days and then I'll crash out and my brain will decide that it doesn't wanna do anything. So I'm worried that my partners will be put out or get annoyed with my weird brain when it decides it's broken.

I guess forewarning everyone that its a thing that can happen and they can decide if they want to. :)

Jafar would *totally* marry Prince Alex. And he also comes in girl!

This happens to me all the time. People still manage to glowfic with me somehow.

Also: ... ... ... has anybody else read Invitation to The Game?

Anya, my brain has been known to take vacations as well, I think this happens to most people, at least occasionally and they will understand.

Anya, the first time I sandboxed with Alicorn I disappeared for over four months with zero warning. So...
I'm not planning on doing that again, but it would be completely hypocritical for me to complain about a few weeks.
I'd love to sandbox with you.

But seriously, worlds I want to glowfic: Invitation to The Game by Monica Hughes. It is a very short book and a very good book. TALK TO ME.

Like, I have two huge narrative buttons that are kind of hard to describe. One is something like "character's childhood described in moderate-to-high detail", and plenty of books do that but I haven't found one that really hit it dead-on. The other is "an individual or small group cooperatively establishes a sustainable lifestyle using the resources in their environment, with low-to-zero interaction/assistance from outsiders". ITTG hits that one dead on, TWICE.

Not to say that we should glowfic, but your enthusiasm actually makes me curious. What I read from wikipedia didn't sound that interesting, or complicated...

So... I am at a weird mood where I want mix Magic-Fantasy with Sci-Fi, generally get a character from a genre and drop them in a world from the other.

My favorite variations:

Character(s) from Hex, Medalion or Gemini (incandescence) is dropped in the Worm-verse.
Tinker from Worm-verse is dropped in some low-tech world maybe Narnia, maybe Quinn, or even Dragon Age (which I am not familiar with)

Also open to original settings. Anyone up to?
