Emotion 365: The Land of Gifted, The Castle Favored

Gifted grows profuse delights and shares its wealth. Many visitors arrive to eat the fruits of Gifted, smell its flowers, roam the lands, converse with the animals, and swim with the fishes. Gems sparkle in Gifted lying on the surface for all to see. Crafters make trinkets given as souvenirs, though they fade some when they leave the land. Many visitors return frequently. 

 “At each meal they serve thickly frosted cake,” says Miss Emeline Traveler. “The scent is delightful. The flowers are sweet and edible.” 

The generous denizens of Gifted make beautiful dresses, hats, skirts, handbags, and fun fashions. Artisans craft vases to display the flowers. They travel to other lands to teach their crafts. 

The most renowned are: 
Violet Montmaker the Vasemaker 
Pello Trantui the Flower Arranger 
Wila Moran the Hat Maker
Rupilliar Monx the Dress Maker 

Whereas all may roam Gift, visitors need an invitation to Castle Favored to receive audience with the finest crafters in the land. Some are invited to apprentice. 

“I was chosen and would have loved to study with Violet Montmaker,” says Miss Emeline Traveler. “But I could not interrupt my travels for so long.” 

Once upon a time the Bringer Deer approached little Tulissa Morgan with an invitation, but Tulissa was loathe to leave her family. Finally, at the pressing of a favorite aunt she relented.

At the castle Favored, she chose to work with Dutarys the Greenweaver, a magical bird, and the finest magic maker in the land. Now Tulissa lives in the castle learning magic.

Springy story review: "State Change" by Ken Liu

Why it springs to mind:  You'll never look at an ice cube the same way again. Where read: In the 2014 Hugo award-winning Lightspeed Magazine , August. Length: 5,194 words Summary: A woman has an ice cube for a soul. Memorable: How the story invites us to think about the shape of our soul, how it (or our perception of it) influences us and how it changes. What ordinary every day object would your soul be? A silver spoon, a beech stick? A great party conversation starter, this. Quote:  “All life is an experiment." Notable:  The protagonist Rina is an avid reader (always a good choice). Pairs well with: T.S. Elliot, Edna St. Vincent Millay Origin:  The story was written in 24 hours based on a writing prompt. (See Author Spotlight: Ken Liu ) About the author: Ken Liu’s debut novel, The Grace of Kings , the first in a fantasy series The Dandelion Dynasty, is due out from Saga Press ( a new Simon & Schuster imprint ) in 2015.

What is Solarpunk? Good question, great answers from our community

What is solarpunk? My fellow Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers authors Commando Jugendstil and Tales from The EV Studio put together this video for the Turin International Book Fair . It features editors and authors from the solarpunk community sharing their thoughts. Together we're imagining optimistic futures based on renewable energy. My soundbite was: "Solarpunk futures are — green spaces with clean water that are pedestrian, collective, feminist, creative communities. And they include non-human animals. " Mary "solarpunk" Shelley cat did a great job (at 6:15) helping from her rather ridiculous cat tree which she absolutely loves. And what better time to wear this solar-colored "Veganism is Feminism" tee from The Herbivore Clothing Company . Seriously. I'm holding a stack of solarpunk books: Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers  edited by Sarena Ulibarri which includes my story "Watch Out, Red Crusher!".  Wings of R...

Springy story review: "Torching the Dusties" by Margaret Atwood

Why it springs to mind: Relevant thoughts about how we view aging and how we treat the aged in our society. In this story, young people protest the existence of old people in an assisted living facility for taking up resources. Not far from the callous viewpoint of people sometimes expressed in the national news. Where read: The last story in  Stone Mattress: Nine Tales   (2014) a collection by Margaret Atwood Summary: Wilma and her boyfriend Tobias escape an assisted living facility, Ambrosia Manor, that has come under attack by protestors carrying signs that say "Time to Go" and "Our Turn" who think the old people are just taking up space and resources. Memorable: the delightful use of Charles Bonnet Syndrome as a character trait for Wilma Quotes:  "We have to be kind to one another in here, she tells herself. We're all we have left."   "According to Tobias, women hang around longer because they're less capable of indignation and...
