This auction has ended. Thanks to everyone who bid. Please check the front page for more auctions, going on through the first week of December, 2009.

I tried to make this bracelet festive, to focus on the party scene at the climax of the story rather than Dunbar’s anxieties. I tried to show the award ceremony as it would seem to others in the story: oh, isn’t it all pretty? Isn’t it fancy? Aren’t we grand? The beads I chose for their color — champagne, of course — and the way their facets reflect light so well, making the strands quite shiny. The locket comes to you empty, to stand for Dunbar at the moment he’d wanted so long. It is also for the buyer, a place to hold their own memories.

A Taste Of Interfictions 2
“In the month of Ind, when the flowers of the Jindal trees were in blossom and just beginning to scatter their petals on the ground like crimson rain, a messenger came to the court of the Child-Empress. He announced that a Hero had awakened in the valley of Jar.

The messenger was young and obviously nervous, at court for the first time, but when the Child-Empress said, "A Hero? What is his name?" he replied with a steady voice. "Highest blossom of the Jindal tree, his name is not yet known. He has not spoken it, for he has as yet seen no one to whom he could speak."”
From: Child-Empress of Mars by Theodora Goss
