The Only Constant
From Fridros: It’s Change. That’s the only constant. My pabbi used to say that, and I’m pretty sure he got it from his pabbi. And since you can find it or some permutation of it all over the Internet, I can feel confident they did not invent it but got it from others, as well.… Continue reading

Short Stories: The Trials of Teendom
By Blossom Peasley and Veronica Gumm Blossom: My mum is a seamstress. And she works for Veronica’s mum. Veronica is so cool; she’s the coolest girl I have ever met, and I would do anything to be her friend. But faeries don’t go to the same schools as human kids do: it’s against the law.… Continue reading

Everything goes with Purple!
From Lira: Today is the Summer Solstice, so I headed over to the Midsummer Enchantment shopping faire. It’s always beautiful, and I love summer. There were some gorgeous things to see, and, of course, buy! I ran into the Hexumbra Faedragons almost as soon as I paid my ticket fee and made my way inside… Continue reading

Love and Strangers, Night and Day, Shine and Rain
From Friðrós: I caught Wulfrich singing the other day. I guess I hadn’t thought that he’d have a great singing voice, but he kind of does. It was kind of a furry voice, I guess? Like the sort of voice a bear or a wolf would have if they could sing the way humans and… Continue reading

The Story
From Lira: I’ve never lived in a house with a name before. But after TAC explained that in fact I was not qualified to be a secret dragon agent (I disagree), and after we determined I did not want to go back to Awenia just yet (because I said I’d rather not), she offered me… Continue reading

Last Night In Silevea
From Friðrós: The Mists have descended. But here is a final short story to tide you over til next year, when I aspire to do a better job. We spent out last night in Silevea, land of interconnected plants, land of tiny guardians, land of great trees and intriguing mushrooms. Myrkandraum is apparently still learning… Continue reading

In The World Of Whispering Pages
From Gwyneth: Given that our time at the Faire has been so truncated this year because The Author had too much to do and then had to sleep for like 3 days, it’s been somewhat difficult to see everything we’ve wanted to see. We took our time choosing where to go, and I have to… Continue reading

A Canticle For Shallows-Folk
(Not-so) Short Stories From The Author: This year, I have been so busy with other Faire projects that this, nearly 2 weeks into the Faire, is my first blog entry for this Fantasy Faire. I feel pretty bad about that, but I suppose I really should apologise for the nonsensical doggerel below. Apparently, I have… Continue reading

The Preparations
From Gwyneth: I did not hold a lottery this year. Instead, I offered Ari, who’s been holding the office of Chief Librarian in Lira’s absence, a place with the Shining Throng on our adventure to this year’s Great Faire. I was almost surprised when she said yes. We did have a short conversation about her… Continue reading

Night Garden
From Gwyneth: Yes, Nathaniel and I ended our protracted visit to the Isle of Callisto, not far behind midwinter. We spent enough time in Awenia to get our bearings, refamiliarise ourselves with the contents of our Residence (and we did not overlook the liquor cabinet, but that is another story and shall be told another… Continue reading
