Title: Kraken
Rating: PG
Prompt: 66--Minor to Major
Summary: She has entrenched her feelers everywhere, and her prey comes to her doorstep.

The woman lazily drew back her curtain at the sound of hoofbeats and cart wheels. It was the Progress, as she knew it would be. The King’s newest plan to beggar his old flame.
She smiled. He thought he’d beaten her, but really, he’d just overlooked her. She was sure, she’d seen his politics—he tried to please as many factions as possible, but he was too proud to ever appease his former enemies. He was, as always, a fool.
Turning back to flirt idly with Lord Malven, she decided she was looking forward to seeing her nephew again. It would be nice to talk with him about his time with the Third Company and more importantly, his relationship with its Knight Commander.

This is great!

I love how she's still scheming and her observations of Jon. I feel bad for Lerant too!

Delia will never not be lethal, will she?

I love the idea of kraken!Delia, and the way she just waits... for everything to fall into her lap. Gorgeous.

Kypriotha: purplepotatoblob you can also post non-event fic at any time in the Fanworks board. There should be some posting rules (i.e. for ratings) in the Fanworks board too. Jul 26, 2021 17:52:29 GMT 10

Kypriotha: purplepotatoblob: the News and Rules board, and Suggestions and Support board, also help posts/threads with helpful information. Otherwise, feel free to ask away if they don't answer your questions! Jul 26, 2021 17:54:11 GMT 10 *

purplepotatoblob: Kypriotha thank you so much hehe this knowledge is making PE more bereable Jul 27, 2021 9:54:08 GMT 10

Lisa: I just noticed that my rank is one that isn't even in the Rankings chart. Woohoo for being so talkative 10+ years ago!! XD Oct 30, 2021 1:29:45 GMT 10

Kypriotha: Lisa yeah we had to make a new one for you, because you exceeded expectations! Oct 30, 2021 10:53:02 GMT 10

Rosie: And there’s a new rank that nobody has reached yet! Oct 30, 2021 17:22:09 GMT 10

Seek: Oh now that's interesting

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown! Nov 4, 2021 5:04:36 GMT 10

oskarshai: Random question but does anyone know if images with transparency show up as transparent on proboards? Nov 16, 2021 16:10:18 GMT 10

Hopeless: Where can you find the ranking chart??! Nov 22, 2021 2:24:44 GMT 10

Kypriotha: Hopeless, the old ranking chart is here: fiefgoldenlake.proboards.com/thread/41563/ranking-system Nov 22, 2021 16:31:02 GMT 10 *

Kypriotha: We haven't updated it with the new rank yet...we'll probably get around to it at some point. It's mostly correct, it's just missing the higher tier one Lisa is referring to. Nov 22, 2021 16:32:14 GMT 10

Kypriotha: oskarshai, sorry no idea! I can't remember how images work on proboards, since I made my avatar in 2011 and have never changed it... I assume they do? Nov 22, 2021 16:33:01 GMT 10

oskarshai: Okay I guess I'll just have to experiment and find out lol

MythicMistress: Mods, would it be okay if I created a thread devoted to both tabletop (board) games and video games? I don't want to impose... Oct 3, 2022 5:09:35 GMT 10

Rosie: Of course! Oct 29, 2022 19:40:03 GMT 10

rae: Newbie here! In the rules for Fanfic, specifically "Multi-chaptered fics should all be posted in the same thread, in as few posts as possible." What if it is a work in progress? Could it be posted chapter by chapter in the same thread? Feb 8, 2023 19:21:56 GMT 10

Seek: rae It has been done that way before, with members just editing the thread title to notify when a new chapter is posted. Mar 6, 2023 6:13:39 GMT 10
