My very first CW story, In the Gardens of the Night, is now up at Beneath Ceaseless Skies. Thanks to a lively crit session, it is now forever known as the "I want an army of undead concubines!" story. This despite the fact that (spoiler) there are no undead concubines appearing in this story.

I'm particularly proud of the opening paragraph, which I worked on for a looooong time:

 
In the open court they call her Nakshedil, “Embroidered on the Heart,” as the prince does. But in the shadows they call her “the Great Whore” or “the Viper,” and they watch her with narrowed eyes. She is beautiful. Nobody can deny that, though there are many beautiful concubines in the palace and many who are less ambitious than Nakshedil. But when she dances, she is more than beautiful. Even those like me, who wish her dead, cannot help but love her a little.

Woot!

Question: what's the current status of Siobhan Carroll vs. Von Carr? Are you switching over to your legal name, or using them for different things?

I'm planning on using "Siobhan Carroll" for the ye dramatic stories and "Von Carr" for comedy.

Lovely, despite the lack of undead concubines.
