Omens: The Continuing Dreams of the Chimerical Seeker
From Lira: Look. I have mentioned before that we Chimerical Beings are not meant to dream. My rest-from-the-world space should be blank oblivion, and that’s how I like it. I am not super happy when something like this happens (again), but here we go. Again. Jaysus, what makes that kind of racket in the wee… Continue reading

The Path of Legacy
from Gwyneth: As you know, my darlings, I speak to The Author often. Rarely, she asks me to do something for her in the Realm that involves something from her life. It’s been a while since she asked for this, and so I was inclined to indulge her when she came to me just yesterday.… Continue reading

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose….
From Lira: I only speak French because of my lexicological permanence. I am also lexicologically enhanced to understand Latin, Greek, Enochian, Aramaic, Hebrew, Russian, several varieties of Demifae Cant, Scots Gaelic, Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Polari, and I don’t know what-all else; suffice it to say that my chimeric lexicon is vast; I have only… Continue reading

The Stoneveil Ambiguity
From Gwyneth: My darlings, we have come to the end of another Great Fantasy Faire. As this is a bittersweet year, I thought it would be good to end our sojourn in the Realm of Stoneveil Crossing. Here, we wandered through a Realm of memory and, although it may be difficult to imagine endings endlessly… Continue reading

Musica Universalis
From Gwyneth: Perhaps I have not told you this, but in another life, on another timeline, you might even say in another reality, your Faerie Queen is a musician. Not a famous one, but a good one. It is said that Faeries, while we may inspire great art, are incapable of producing it ourselves. Perhaps… Continue reading

Enraptured by Öndheim
From Friðrós: OK, first of all, I don’t know what happened for the first, like, ten days of the Faire. It was like The Author forgot we existed or something. Not that I’m unused to that: I am generally unhappy with where my storyline is going, and I would like to have a word with… Continue reading

Post-Faire Litfest Tour Recap! (Personal Edition)
From The Author: It’s been my honour and pleasure to be involved in the Fantasy Faire Literary Festival for the last 8 years. 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

The Dark in Mythspire Ridge
If Mythspire Ridge seems dazzling from afarThen you have not looked close enough. Go back,And take the stairways down to where the seaMeets soil: there, you will hear a different tale. The belly of the ridge, beneath the arch,Beneath the statue bases, where the treesGrow shorter but the crystals shine as bright,Here find the roots… Continue reading

In Living Echoes
From Friðros: It isn’t worth it to follow the Shining Throng around everywhere. At best, it’s tiresome, fun old dad jokes told in tandem by Queen Gwyneth, Nathaniel, Security Chief Wulfrich and First Officer Brán notwithstanding. And those are the high points. At worst, I worry I’m becoming more like her. I noticed my eyes… Continue reading
About Me
