Mermaid's Hands, and Em's message in a bottle, came into my head one day at random. When I thought about who might write back, I recalled two dreams I'd had--one about a prisoner/priestess and a volcano, and one, long ago, about a request from a witch or goddess, to make a fire festival. The rest of the story grew organically, over a long time--I talk a little about it here.
