A first contact fantasy story (coincidentally entitlted "First Contact") of mine placed in the fantasy-writers.org monthly Writer's Challenge: http://www.fantasy-writers.org/
First Contact was a deliberate attempt by me to play with synesthesia. Since the character has never been allowed to touch or come into contact with anything save a small number of purified, sanctified items (hence the title), her first experiences with the sense of touch come in metaphors of the other senses.
It was, to be less hoity-toity about it, a lot of fun.
About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).

Is there an archive where one can find this story, or am I banking solely on the good graces of the author and my email address?
The stories are members-only for various reasons, but I have Graces locked in my closet along with Hours and Muses ... err. In other words, I could send. *cough*
What about Fates? Do you have Fates (my past interpretations aside)?
