Speaking of old LJ stuff I was looking through for other old writing bits and found 3 lil microfiction art/writing hybrids from The Archives of the Ahistorical Society that I'd totally forgotten about. Have you ever thought of going back to LJ and reposting stuff somewhere else?

I think this one is sadly permanently abandoned, though, since iirc Ursula said she didn't want to have to write the horrible tedious middle bit she knew came next in the story

Well, y'all were so nice and encouraging about the rough draft on Nanowrimo, so...err...have a chunk of rough. I don't know if it works. It may be insipid or dreadfully cliche. The problem is that Myr...

I adored the non sequitur lil paintings - I had a Balthazar Disdains the Lemon tshirt I wore until it wore out.
My current DnD character is an elderly half-orc barbarian who is largely inspired by this piece (with a healthy dose of Nanny Ogg in there too)

A few are on her old deviantArt account, others on the old livejournal (both as UrsulaV). Cryptic Stitchings was a video game, The Book of the Gear a different livejournal, and Hidden Almanac is a (now finished) podcast you can still listen to

The old deviantArt days! That's where I first saw Ursula's stuff too! With all the wonderful descriptions on the art - I would buy a hybrid art book/microfiction anthology in a heartbeat. I think my fav of the art stories is Glibmark's Reclamation
