Evening, #WeeknightWriters! Call me Orrery; I write a lot of things, from memoir to non-fiction to queer furry kink. My current big project is Songbird, in which a genderqueer fox sex worker takes on patriarchy and the church with the help of community, solidarity, and magic.
Hello #WeeknightWriters! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your writing week is going! Or not going, that's valid too

Granted, there's magic because no, pound cake does not have the structural integrity to support a meter tall recreation of an East boat nor does sponge cake have the strength to hold up the satellites in a cake orrery
But they do it anyway
Because they're insane (and have a sweet tooth)

And a glimpse of the main reason for going - the Joseph Wright exhibition - not massive, but a right treat to see. A real pleasure.

I've noticed that the bunny tends to vanish from the conversation as soon as the orrery is mentioned. Am beginning to suspect that they may be the same person.

I really prefer @fuzzybunny.org as a no orrery guy. However, if you can make him cry, I might consider making you one.

Adding on to A and C, the Orks were the Krorks and the Star Orrery is a cute doodad to what the Necrons fielded in the war in heaven and the Krorks fought those things.
