Welcome to Rainbow Snippets!
Every Saturday, those participating post and share six sentences of LGBTQIA+ fiction at their blogs. It can be their own. It can be someone else’s. It just needs to be LGBTQIA+.

Here I go, picking up right where I left off last week with Quartz and Prunella…it’s slightly longer than six sentences, but they’re very short sentences.
“He’s interesting.” The words slipped out before I could stop them. “Irritating, yet entertaining. Even if he lacks a beard.”
A loud snort filled the entire cavern with steam, making me cough again. “Interesting. You think Nimmie Not is interesting?”
Nice. They’d find me interesting, I have quite the beard….

LOL, it’s one of Quartz’s measurements of beauty. He and his brothers all take great pride in theirs. 🙂

Thank you! I got the name from a children’s collection of fairy tales I had when I was little, a story called ‘The Tale of Tom Tit Tot.” It was similar to the Rumplestiltskin legend in many ways with a strange little man helping a woman out of a jam with a large amount of impossible tasks she had to do or forfeit her life…with him demanding that she guess his name or she’d become his. She caught him singing a rhyme, “Nimmie nimmie not/My name is Tom Tit Tot.” It occurred to me that Nimmie Not sounded like a great name for a tricky sprite and/or kobold. 🙂

Isn’t it weird how chilling old-time children’s tales were? Do these impossible tasks or forfeit your life! Yikes!

Very true…some of the kings, princes, and potential romantic interests were just as scary as the monsters. (wry grin)

Sometimes those short sentences are the very best ones.

Oh, so do I…I’m more of a bish (bishounen) person than a beard person. (wry grin)
