Am I crazy or what? 2018 Lesbian Book Bingo Ficlet Project

[hrj]

If you follow my RSS feed, you'll have already seen this. I'm helping promote a "Lesbian Book Bingo" reading challenge (because I got included in the suggestions lists and got my publisher to help with prizes), but to make up for the fact that I'm unlikely to read enough lesfic to make any bingos myself, instead I'm writing a mini-story for each of the 24 genres/tropes that make up the squares. There's a featured genre/trope twice a month and I'll be following along with that schedule, so the first one is "women in uniform". Of course, I'm adding to the challenge by making all my ficlets be historic and planning to have them all be loosely connected in some fashion. My first ficlet is "Follow the Drum" and concerns Lena, a young Dutch woman in the later 17th century, who has a hankering for military drums and uniforms, but not in the usual way.

That sounds like a fun project. We get to read them, right?

Follow the link--we get to read them, and it is good!

The tricky part will be the "loosely connected" aspect, since I'm not doing any sort of advance plotting.

I look forward to seeing how they come together. I suppose if you at least skim over the older ones (or have a shorter major points summary of each to look at) before writing the next they should manage reasonably well.

I admire your work ethic!

[hrj]

Or my distractability!

[hawkwing_lb]

Also admirable!
