Aneka and Glissa in “Sunshade Engaged!”
Oops
Anna-May in “Webbed”
“Just… A little… Closer!” The tassle on the elf’s sword swung perilously close to her fingers. If she could grab it then surely she could cut her way out of this mess but every movement only got her more and more stuck in the sticky threads she’d tried to cut down. “I’ve got to hurry before any spiders show up!” she told herself, so focused on the sword she was oblivious to the dangers that approached her.
Autumn
Rosebud in “I’m a Leaf!”
As an added bonus, here’s what I’ve been working on the last couple days. Leather pants! I have no idea what I’m going to do for the rest of her outfit, but I’ve had this idea for leather pants in my head for months. What do you think?

Scary
Veyronna feat. Dee Dee in “The Mind Wanders”
“I’m sorry, but there’s really no point putting your head back on until your brain is back in there! Stupid thing keeps wandering off, almost like it has a mind of it’s own. If I can find it, and catch it, I promise I’ll fix you up in a jiffy. If you see it, um, moan or something? Ugh… why am I even talking to her?” the mage said to herself. It wasn’t the first time the brain had escaped while she was working on her project. The last time she’d caught it in the branches of her Bonsai tree. The time before that it seemed to take great pleasure in knocking over all of the candles in her ritual space. Now that she was finally ready to put it back where it belonged, it was gone again. Where could it be?
Can you spot it?
Hey Pumpkin
Glissa, Saffee, Aneka, Anna-May and Veyronna in “Carving Contest”
“You invite us all to participate in a pumpkin carving contest and you show up with that?” asked Saffee with annoyance in her voice.
“I’ll say it again, just because I’m a mage doesn’t mean that every crazy thing that happens is because of me. I carved him, and then he came alive. I. Didn’t. Do. It. I’ll carve another one! I’m not trying to cheat!”
“Is it friendly?” wondered Aneka, kneeling down for a closer look.
“I don’t know if I’d put my hand too close to it…” cautioned Anna-May.
“I think it’s kinda cute,” commented Glissa, peering from behind the giant gourd she was carrying.

My Doll is Happy When She:
Aneka and Sandy in “Adventuring with Friends”
Performance
Pirate Queen Goldie and Wendy in “One Night in a Pirate Bar on the Banks of the North Saskatchewan”
Goldie stopped, her winnings from the last hand of cards forgotten in the middle of the table. The hooded figure across the table yelled at her to deal but she waved them off. The Peg Leg Parrot was a very dangerous place where you could find the most vicious thugs that roamed the waterways but few were brave enough to raise a sword or gun to Pirate Queen Goldie. With an annoyed grunt they followed Goldie’s gaze to the stage. On stage was Wendy, one of the bar wenches of the establishment. Her voice wasn’t amazing, but the boss had her sing when there was nothing better lined up. Goldie didn’t like her voice any more than any of the other patrons but she was captivated by the lithe elf’s curly red hair and piercing green eyes. Oh, and her fiery attitude that made her more than willing to go after any heckler with her sword. And yet, as fearsome as the Pirate Queen was, she wasn’t brave enough to talk to Wendy. She wanted her on her crew.
She wanted her on her bunk.
Wendy had seen the Pirate Queen in the front row and realized she had her attention while the rest of the bar largely ignored her. She’d also noticed the pile of gold on the table. In an attempt to possibly get her hands on some of it, she directed her next ballad to one of her few fans.
Most of the time I don’t consider my contest entries to be canon, but I think this one is. Maybe I’ll elaborate on it some day.
Car Rides
Sandy in “Drift Mode”
“Wha- Waugh!” cried Sandy as she quickly got down and held on for dear life before she fell down as the car moved erratically. Her cries were only barely heard over the sound of tortured tires. “Are we going to crash!?”
“If you’re not out of control, you’re not in control!” I laughed. “You said you wanted to know what Drift Mode was.”
“I don’t think I like it. And what’s that smell?” the little elf asked, holding her cloak up higher to cover her nose too as the tire smoke wafted in.

Fantasy Warrior
Dragonrider Octavia in “Ice Fang”
I thought for some time about who to use for this challenge, nearly all of my dolls could have worked! I’m sure I’m not the only one who wondered what Octavia looked like before Ice Fang became one with her. If it isn’t clear what I did, I took the photo of Octavia’s body posed to sit on Ice Fang, but I thought it would be easier to put Octavia’s face onto a head with hair that matched hers instead of trying to remove the horns and helmet from her head. Taking the photo of both at the same time made the lighting match. I swapped her face and ear, color matched, and plopped her on Ice Fang!
Winter Wonderland
Lily and Valeria VS Sandy and Aneka in “Outmatched”
“Ah! Hey! No! Stop! I surrender!” yelled Sandy, the snowballs pelting her until she fell down in the snow. “AAAAAH! COLD!” COLDCOLDCOLD!"
Her teammate, Aneka, peered around from behind her cloak that she’d raised protectively against the incoming barrage. She couldn’t help but laugh.
“No! I said I surrender!” begged Sandy as Lily launched one more snowball at her. Sandy raised her hand and was able to block the snowball, but it exploded into cold powder that sprayed all over her exposed face. “AAAH! SO COLD!” The desert-dwelling elf was not having the fun she’d been promised when Aneka had challenged Lily and Valeria.
“Sorry, it’s hard to switch off,” apologized Lily as she approached the stricken elf in the snow, chuckling a little. Sandy was flailing in the snow, the white powder collapsed under her any time she tried to plant a foot down or push with her hands. Lily offered her a hand to pull her up. Sandy’s outfit was soaked and her teeth were chattering.
“I thought you said you knew a spell to keep you warm,” asked Valeria, the other golden haired elf.
“I d-d-d-do,” chattered Sandy. “It w-w-w-works ag-g-g-gainst cold air, not f-f-f-frozen w-water!”
Aneka couldn’t help but laugh at her friend. “Oh, you’re fine.”
“I’m going to f-f-freeze to d-d-death!” argued Sandy, her body shaking.
“Let’s get you back inside. I’ll make you hot chocolate,” offered Valeria.
The three elves made their way back inside to warm up, the two guardians of the Queen the clear victors.
I Aim to Misbehave
Glissa and Aneka in “Have a Nice Trip”
Aneka was ready to go and watched Glissa for the signal. As soon as Glissa was done tying Arachne’s laces together she glanced at Aneka and gave her a nod. Aneka sprinted out from under the stool and the drow immediately spotted her.
“Hey!” Arachne cried out as she stood up to give chase. She was tripped up immediately and crashed to the floor. “Ooof!”
Glissa ran past her too and the two little elves laughed as they headed quickly down the stairs, a slew of dark elven curses being yelled at them as they went.

An abundance of mini spring contests in March! To hell with what the calendar says, spring doesn’t start in march around here! Am I jealous of people south of me? Perhaps. Am I willing to be sarcastic about it? Definitely!
