One of the 5 daily subfestivals prior to the Elvish New Year involves the current ruler visiting the royal cemetery and perform the prayers of rest. Also, whenever there is a high profile execution, the solemn event requires palace food to be served cold.
Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)#JulyWorldbuilders The night of the Midnight Fire (Feb 22), which occurs in late winter/early spring and is meant to be an "out with the old" sort of day in preparation for spring. At midnight, a giant bonfire is lit in communities and people are encouraged to burn things they need to "let go of"

The Elf Kingdom new years happens on the 5 days preceding the summer solstice, the New Year happening on June 21st. It is the 1 day each year anyone (except for the royal guard) can greet the Elf King. It commences a 20 day month where executions of criminals are outlawed.
Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)Hello, #JulyWorldbuilders! Are there equinox or solstice celebrations in your world? How do the seasons work, anyway? In space-based settings, do they use a calendar based on their home planet or is there a galactic/universal calendar everyone has agreed to use?
I have 2 flashback chapters in Fragmented Fates. The first is chapter 1 at the suggestion of a reader when I started writing the book to give context of why everyone is suffering in exile. A second gives more insight and I wrote a 3rd chapter but didn’t include it in the finished book.

I once got a baffling angry guestbook post criticizing my simple Sailor Moon Witches 5 character profiles over 30 years ago.
S R JonesIf you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.
