Plot summary post
See Laiskaiss.

She's part of a gypsy-like tribe cursed to travel the roads of their world until the whole tribe has traveled every road (and since children keep being born to the tribe, that curse can never be fulfilled and broken). She likes girls. She lives by the philosophy of, "It sounded like a good idea at the time." She has a ten-year-old brother and a six-year-old brother who lives in a box under the bed.

See Laiskaiss come to a village where festivities centered around a holiday are about to begin. She flirts with and seduces the prettiest girl there. See her say, "Whoops!" when she realizes the girl, Hala, is the mayor's daughter, and the festivities for the next day include her wedding.

See Hala beg for help; she thinks she might want to stay with Laiskaiss, and, um, she also kindofsleptwithherbetrothed before the marriage, against her father's wishes, and now she's pregnant. Laiskaiss says, "No problem!" and goes to the mayor to spin this crazy-ass story about magical parthenogenesis.

And then it all explodes from there.

See Laiskaiss inspire a really amusing story because she cannot keep her big mouth shut.

See Laiskaiss be very troublesome, and also whiny, but also fun.

I think it was the words "magical parthenogenesis" that hooked me. --and the explosions don't happen until _after_ that point? You mean, it gets nuttier?

Magical parthenogenesis is actually part of Laiskaiss's religion- so she thinks it's a perfectly adequate explanation for a pregnancy. She doesn't understand why everyone else has such a hard time accepting it.

Hope you enjoy!

Laiskaiss sounds like the kind of character I adore reading about -- full of life and dynamic and quite capable of generating plot just by being put with other people.

That's her. :) In general, I hope this will be a character-driven story born out of the clash of personalities, rather than following a well-worn plot (what plot?)

Thank you! That's an achievement before the story's even started. :)

See, I'm totally jealous of this, because I can't seem to get any kind of story straightened out in my head. I have that not!Janissary thing (with, now, a system of magic I'm rather proud of), but now one Queen Cedret and her unnamed husband seem to have taken up residence in my head, clearly not from the same world. And neither of them is going in the right direction. Bleh.

Sounds like fun! Good luck getting the copyrights sorted out quickly.

I'm especially intrigued about the tribe's curse, that's really clever. (Wonder what they did to deserve it? )

Thank you. Originally it was an idea for another story, but that one would have been far too tragic and soppy and noble.

Supposedly, they performed some great theft long ago. Their version of the story is different, of course.
