WIP.
She danced for the Jade Emperor. The dance was held in the temple where the community met during big festivals. The dances were stories so that families could remember how they were saved from bandit raids a long time ago. They hid in sugar cane plantations, so that was why Ah Ma would buy sugar cane from the market with their leaves still green and glossy with morning dew. The Jade Emperor protected them. Ah Ma would burn the sugar cane later. The smoke would rise up to the sky, to the Jade Emperor.

Oh, really, Google?

1861?
A screenshot of a very erroneous description of Wolf At The Door as a Poem in Six Books and "originally published" in 1861.

I am ruminating on my discord:

I have been putting a lot of stories on my Kofi - and it's weird, speaking now from a fiction editor, that short fiction is hard to sell in the bigger platforms.
I have been putting a lot of stories on my Kofi - and it's weird, speaking now from a fiction editor, that short fiction is hard to sell in the bigger platforms. These are the pro-paying ones. I have been wondering how sustainable the short form sff markets are... granted many of the publishers are depending on crowdfunding, and editor positions are volunteer-basis. There should be a way to make the editor positions more... sustainable. They are already doing professional jobs without professional pay.

Also this is my vibe.
