Torn Slippers: Chapter One

Rating: light R
Word Count: Total 58,120/ this chapter 4,738
Genre: Fairy tale retelling; drama; romance
Author: liadan14 

Summary:
"Do you trust me?" - "Well...no." - "So, you see? You can't be completely crazy yet."
A retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, originally written by the Brothers Grimm. Catherine DiConta is one of thirteen princesses who have a dangerous secret, a dead mother, an overbearing father, and far more trouble than they can deal with. She's faced with a few more fairies than she'd like, the complexities of spellwork, two men who like wearing the colour black, and, possibly worst of all, trying to figure out what on earth is going on in the first place.

Notes & Warnings: The whole thing is written and finished. If anyone wants, I'll gladly post the rest too, though not all at once. I hope someone out there likes it; this is the story that ate my brain. Contains some swearing and slash; also very mild descriptions of sex and violence.

( Behind the scenes... )

At that moment, Lee showed up.  I always thought that Lee looked more like a Tom than a Lee.  He was tall, his head was shaved, he was large—overweight I think, actually, although I would never say that because he’s so sensitive about things like that (although his nonchalance makes it seem like he isn’t)—and yet somehow looked like he was nine years old.  Maybe it was the way he dressed that made him look that way.  Anyway, he should have come off as intimidating, given his god-given bodily figure.  Instead, he came off as very nice and very sociable but somewhat insecure.  You could tell he was kind of insecure because of his humor, which was self-deprecating without being dark.  Sometimes he would make jokes about being ugly. Personally, although I swear I don’t subscribe to any stupid universal-love-like beliefs, I find it easy to find things beautiful that are not, really, classically beautiful.  Even those things that someone like me might, every once in a while, in a conversation, forgetting for a moment that I can find beauty in everything, say is “the kind of ugly that just can’t be beautiful,” or “really profoundly mundane, so that it just can’t be beautiful,” or “like a scrap of white plastic, like, plastic all the way from the 70’s, sitting on a granite counter, and maybe from being beaten up it has a couple of grooves in it filled with dirt.  But the contrived contrast between the plastic and the granite makes it impossible for the situation to be beautiful.”  The reason I let you in on that fact about me is that I want to tell you that I didn’t find Lee ugly.  Lots of people would reassure him that he was not ugly, but I really meant it.  They didn’t.

Title: Lost Time Can Never Be Recovered
Rating: R
Wordcount: ~1100
Warnings: Angst, Profanity, Violence, Mental Illness
Summary: Is this story true? If I can trust what I was told, then yeah, apparently it is. But I've learned that I can't trust her. I'd say this is probably only maybe true. I don't know. I don't remember.
Author's Note: Critique is totally welcome. Be as brutally honest as possible. I would eventually like to write Cameron in a novel that I could possibly eventually sell, and I'd like to know if it's a waste of time now. Praise is also welcome, of course. If you hate it, tell me why. That is all. Enjoy!

Okay, I'm new to this, so...
Basically, this is a story that I'm working on, and it's not done yet. But, I thought I'd share it, because it's Christmas Eve and all that. So, I hope you like it!
The only thing that you have to watch out for is some minor swearing that only occurs once, but I just thought I'd let you know. :)

So in my post awhile back, everything clearly points to jupiter with a heavy stellium in capricorn. What could this mean? 

Jupiter in the 8th House:
With Jupiter in the Eighth House you will find luck, ease of working and general good fortune coming through an inheritance, joint finances, investment, business dealings or your marriage partner. This position of Jupiter gives you the opportunity to develop skill in business, a flair for handling money and a marked degree of social power.Herein is the second aspect of this house: resurrection and rebirth. The eighth house rules personal evolution, growth, transformation and change, death, rebirth, sex, possessions of a relationship, legacies, inheritance, taxes, rituals, initiations and the occult, the astral body and reincarnation, and the severing of ties to that to which we are attached. A planet in the eighth indicates that a personal facet of your psyche is under pressure to work more cooperatively or jointly with others. Many planets here signify a person whose life can be characterized by change. Such individuals may find continuous states of affairs monotonous, and periodically bring about changes or crises to feel truly alive.


Could this mean I'm definitely reincarnated? Is that possible to pick out in someone's chart?

Jordan's been asleep since 10:00. Curled up on the couch like a stray dog wearing baggy sweats, she's the kind of stray dog you'd gladly take home from the parking lot at Wiggly Foods without a second thought. Or a first thought, even. It'd be take-home autopilot, something you'd respond to without thinking.

"Hop in, girl," you'd say, and let her ride shotgun in the cab of Gloria, nose wind-surfing out the half-down window of the rusting, '87 Ford F-150 you got when Uncle Leddy kicked the bucket for the third and final time.

"Gloria -- this is," you'd say in introduction, "... what's your name, again?" She'd look at you with those lonesome, winsome, distant-close, warm-you-to-the-bone eyes. "Take me home, Big Boy," her slow, blue eyes would say, "we don't need words to interact."

And you'd obey. You'd do whatever those eyes asked, as long as you could let this feeling linger on. Because, somehow, in the genus of her own, non-ape indie world, she made you species jump and feel human.

Fan Settings: Stephen King's "The Tower". Setting only, not characters.
Rate your play: NC-17. May play pwp if discussed or if I'm in the mood.

Would you play ...
Yaoi- Yes. Only this.

Peeves: I will never play with someone who ... makes cookie-cutter gary-stu characters. Is a flake/is never available. All characters are the same and/or are representations of the author. Cannot/will not write a decently thought-out post that gives at least, if not more, than I give.
Adores: I will worship someone who plays ... switches that ACTUALLY switch and will play top as well as bottom. 3-D characters with reasons and backgrounds as to who they are. Someone who will plot with me. Someone who will talk to me outside of RP-- I like to get to know the people I'm writing with, if only on a friendly basis.
Warnings: I will NEVER play shota or furries. Antrhos are fine if they look mostly humans and have only some animal-like attributes such as; horns, tail, claws, sharp teeth, ears, body markings.
Interested in: I'm looking for someone who wants to play ... PWP. To be honest, that's what I want at the moment the most. However, I would be interested in RPing a full scale rp. Things have just been frustrating in some of my RPs lately and I really would love to blow off some steam.
Kinks: power struggle, fight!sex, unconventional toys, bloodplay, rough!sex, guns, leather, boots, bdsm, food play, surprise/unexpected sex, roleplay, size difference, age difference, unexpected sexual roles, muscles. REAL MEN.

[Sample] Uh.. I can give you one if you want it but I'd rather not put one up here considering I'm mostly looking for a pwp with this ad.

I'm doing this interpretation for a teacher of mine, but I need astrology to make a good impression and I want to do it right.

I'm not asking for any interpretation but what would you suggest I focus on and put in this chart description? What stands out??

Also, would you interpret the Venus/Uranus/Pluto as being in the 4th or the 5th house? And the Sun in the 5th or 6th?

I now have a short description of the planets in the signs (up until jupiter). Now I was considering to add some aspect descriptions as well, but I don't know which ones I should focus on. What do you think stands out and I should definitely add? Venus conjunct Pluto? Or is the orb too wide? Uranus/Pluto sq. Ascendant? I thought to leave aside the more easy going aspects. But I really don't know, so please help!

What do you do in situations when you don't know the person's birth date? My mother was born in a country during a time when many did not keep birth records. She got a made-up birthday when she started school (which would place her as a Gemini Sun), but at times she's not even sure if that's anywhere close to her date. Her siblings can't even remember what season it was, or whether it was day or night when she was born.

It frustrates me because we both enjoy astrology, but when it comes to analyzing things for her, it becomes a sensitive issue because we're going off a made-up birthday, and not everything fits. Likewise when it comes to looking things up for my father. Is there a way to get a glimpse of your parents from your own natal chart? I know my birth date and time, give or take a few minutes.

Is there a way to figure out at least my mom's ascendant and/or sun sign? She's incredibly hardworking; even if her back hurts, she always needs to be doing something. And she can be incredibly stubborn about taking things easy. She can overreact like no one else can. She's generally a softie and traditional, but when she gets riled up, all hell breaks loose.

Recently, I got interested in looking into medical astrology. My mother has a slipped disk, so I'm wondering if any of her natal planets are in Leo and if so, which ones?
