The genie Laresa is once again summoned into the world by a new master, and she's shocked to discover that he knows her almost as well as she knows herself. Aaron first binds her with even tighter chains, and then demands for her to summon another genie named Nathifa to serve him. Helpless to defy him, the two genies can do nothing as their cruel and power-hungry master travels back in time to dominate the Inca people. Only a true miracle can end the misery of the djinn and the mortals Aaron rules with an iron fist. The third of my Laresa tales, now available for download to your Kindle reader.

Did some research and found out that it's only the carousel ( the default screen, unfortunately ) of the Kindle app where the covers don't display. Checked, and sure enough any other selection such as "on device" displays the covers just fine. It appears this is an issue with the Kindle app that has been going on since 2011. There are all kinds of solutions, most of which aren't reported to work in every case, or to only affect existing books, or new books, or unread books... So on and so forth. The primary thing users are saying is that the books have to have a cover size of at least 500 width, or they won't show. I know that's bogus, because all of my old 350x480 covers show up just fine in the app ( if annoyingly small next to regular covers ) The conclusion I've arrived at is... Fuck it. There's obviously a problem with the carousel in the app that Amazon has no interest in addressing. I'm going to stick with my currently chosen e-book cover size of 600x823 which doesn't throw warnings when creating the books in mobipocket. It's what I've already been working with, and what I'm now using as the default when designing covers. I shrink them down to the old 350x480 dimensions for display on the website, with thumbs of 60x82

Preview of "Diamond Valentine"

Guess I stand corrected. Hoping it goes up now in the morning. Unusual for a contest story to take more than 24 hours to post, but oh well -

Had to redo that list I had up there of what wasn't done, because some of them were I have so many up now that it was getting hard to track, and some of the titles don't match the titles at Lit, which I was using as a cheat when checking. Think I've got it all straightened out now. At the very least, the mobipocket creator warns me when I'm about to redo an ebook I've already finished. I am getting frustrated with what covers will display on my tablet version of the app, though. My old standard cover size of 350x480 will display, but they're very small and look out of place next to books that have normal covers. My experiment with using the Kindle recommended dimensions for "Hot Shorts Vol. One" worked fine, naturally. I know there's almost no way I'm going to be able to get my covers that frikkin' huge, though. So, I started going with images that are 600x823. That's almost double, and within the bounds of what mobipocket considers a properly sized image. I've been working on all new covers at that size, which is a multiple of my old standard cover size, so I can easily shrink them down and use those on my website. Should have been problem solved. Nope. Downloaded the Innocent Devan trilogy a few minutes ago, which uses a cover in the new size. Damn thing displays a Kindle default image instead of the cover. The hell does this frikkin' app want! Aaaargh! More research obviously necessary to get everything displaying the way I want it to everywhere.

Quarterly track is up: http://www.darkniciad.com/hotlink_pics/All_3_Names_02_01_14 Overall, I'm up 2,087 votes, 340,970 views, 51 PCs, and 253 favorites this quarter. Scores are mostly the same, with the median dropping by .01. Not too shabby for a quarter where I put out no new work. ( At least on Lit ) The big news out of this one is the huge jump in favorites as Darkniciad. Despite not putting out any work in a couple of quarters, I jumped 75 favorites this quarter. That's primarily on the back of Danica: Epilogue making it back to near the top of the Sci-Fi&Fantasy toplist, and having a good showing on the All-Time toplist as well.

Sat down and did some quick calculating tonight. Mara and Wade's daughter will be turning eighteen in three years after this year's Earth Day story ( set when Ella is 19. She was 18 in "Friend" ) Melinda and Glen's daughter hits the magical eighteen one year later. Haven't thought about whether Melinda and Glen have more than one yet, but I know Mara and Wade are sticking to one. Coming from two different nymph strains presents some rather unique challenges. Dale ( Ella and Terra's brother ) turns 18 at the same time as Mara and Wade's daughter. So, cutting down the ol' time jumps a little as the family expands. I've got three stories ( four, counting Ella's ) that I can tell and only move forward 4 years total. If this year's story works out the way I want it to, I can insert another kid ( or kids ) a couple of years earlier than the next generation of offspring from the above as well. If I'm feeling froggy, I can always pull out an unexpected late child like I did with Brina, too. Or have more twins/triplets like Ella and Terra. There will still be jumps, but at least it isn't 18+ years per story like it was in the beginning LOL

Yeah, that story didn't work out. Tony was just too bitter to pull out of his funk in any reasonable amount of time. Have another idea for Xannera to find some love now, tied in with this year's story. Brainstorming it now. It will be about Ella and her beau, starting the story with an active and stable relationship for once, rather than finding love For funsies, here's a list I keep on my computer of possible title starts. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a good word to start the title, have it represent the theme of the story well, and also work as a closing line. Just had a productive search session and added quite a few new words to the list. Sanctuary Whispers Fruit Tale Season Song Light Legacy Spirit Lady Companions Blessing Healer Shelter Guardian Wisdom Legend Hope Hero Dream Friend==USED Keeper Warmth Bounty Promise Mystery Memories Peace Truth Edge Queen King Voice Folk Root Prince Princess Way Call Origin Rhythm History Creature Watchers Shadow

After a long hiatus, the Clitoride Awards are back! If you feel anything I wrote in 2013 is deserving of recognition, you can nominate it right here: http://clitoridesawards.org/ For easy reference, here are the links to everything I wrote during the year in all three pen names, on all three sites. Odds are that you'll want to use the Storiesonline link if one is available, ( especially for chapter stories ) even if that's not the site you read on. The Clitorides website is run by the same guy who runs SOL, so odds are that those links will be far easier to deal with and present fewer problems. I'll provide the Literotica link to the story ( or the first chapter ) for reference, though. You may need to right click the link and "copy shortcut" rather than just copy-paste, because the forum software automatically truncates links.

Made another tweak to how I'm processing the Kindle versions of the Ebooks with 18&19 of Danica. I stopped removing the whitespace before and after my scene breaks, because I didn't like how it looked without them. I'll get this to a place where I'm completely happy with it eventually, and then even more eventually, I'll go back and change all the ones I've already posted to the final format.
