Post-Faire Litfest Tour Recap! (Personal Edition)

Over that time, I’ve assisted with guests, hosted and participated in events, led and assisted many Litfest Tours, and generally seen myself as Saffia Widdershins’ Girl Friday. One of the things the… Continue reading

Nesting in Nysaris
From Gwyneth: There’s something about Nysaris that invites folk in. And I don’t mean the usual Faire, ‘Welcome! Everything is for sale’! invitation. No; there is something far deeper inside Nysaris, a city built around a goddess of hope. The Realm had such a Classical Greek atmosphere that I was surprised to find myself in… Continue reading

Disillusioned in Dingir
From Friðrós: Well, it’s been a hard Faire, folks. Gwyneth remains unflappable, but I’ve got one more trick up my sleeve! I’m going crimson! Even though I’m still pretty angry with her, Gwyneth does know all the right folk, so when I went back to visit Moth Evergarden for the third time, she suggested I… Continue reading

The Storyteller of Shimmering Fen
From Gwyneth: Some Faires, this doesn’t happen, but most it does. I’ll be in a Realm, and I’ll meet one of the inhabitants and learn their stories, or I’ll just get a strong feeling about something, and then for a few hours I am suffused with the essence, not of that person, but of someone… Continue reading

The Land Of Wisps Forgot
A dream, a reverie If you would venture where the Spirits CrossBe sure to have your wings on: you will needTo cross a gorge wide as a giant’s stepAnd with one broken bridge, a gust of windCould make you miss your stride. Only the rocksWould welcome you. Like I said: wear your wings. Continue reading

Sullen, and Satisfied, in Sialdor
From Friðrós: It didn’t work. At least, not the other night. I guess purple is not radical enough to raise Her Majesty’s anger. But I am no huldefólk who gives up. No; I will try again and again. This time, Moth favoured me with a lovely Viridian paint, and I topped it off with some… Continue reading

Winding Down in WooHoo! Bay
From Gwyneth: I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no place nicer for a relaxed and happy sojourn than WooHoo! Bay. When we made our reservations to stay here for the duration of the Great Faire, I admit I wasn’t sure what we’d find when we arrived, but our FaeB&B hosts have been just… Continue reading

A Quiet Shift in Fungalmire?
From The Amazing Catwoman: So, yeah. I took last year off from working security at the Great Faire, and it was worth it. I enjoyed doing not-much, but more importantly, the offer to work this year’s Faire came with considerably more remuneration than previous Faires! I guessed they missed me, eh? Either that or someone… Continue reading

Fury, and Calm, in Frostweald
From Friðrós: They didn’t have to speak to me like that. They didn’t have to laugh at me. Wulfrich and Brán are sort of naturally mean, and even Queen Gwyneth laughed. It was just a mistake. I thought the water must be shallow because it felt like I could see the bottom, and then my… Continue reading

A Slow Walk in Glimmering Meadows
From Gwyneth: It’s my favourite time of the year. Time for the entire household to relocate to one of the many Faireland Realms and make our home here for two solid weeks whilst we enjoy shopping, music, lively tours, author talks, shopping, and parties. There’s even a film festival these days. And … Did I… Continue reading
