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

The Velvet Cake Walk of Ülim’Hyl
From Lira: Well. I’m not even going to try and explain where I’ve been for the last six months. It’s just too much. And for most of this year’s Great Faire, I’ve been too busy running around with — OK, most of my friends seem to be animals, and that isn’t strange or weird at… Continue reading

Spaces in the Narrative
From Lira: Now, you may be wondering how I found my way back home. I know I would be. Just wishing I could go home did not help at all. Instead, after a brief lecture from Morti (remember Morti? Morti the mare!) about when and where spaces in the narrative (I am not hyberbolising: that… Continue reading

La Brume Rouge
From Cléo de Mérode We do not disappear. We do not die. We do not fade away. We persevere. We protect. We perpetuate. Home at last; home for now. My coachman has left me behind because he must scurry home to his little family, his fishing, his two fair daughters, because he is cautious, as… 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

A Phase of Holi
From Gwyneth: My darlings, we are at the Great Faire! Of all the events we attend each year, our favourite is the Fantasy Faire, where we meet friends old and new, wonder at the myriad Realms, and of course, shop. Now, there is an expectation, I suppose, that we will see wonders at the Faire.… Continue reading

I May End Up Liking It There
From Lira: I read that on some internet site I visited last time we were in a place with net access. “Be careful how far you push me away: I may end up liking it there.” Well, it’s been a weird year. My only travelling companion, and sometimes the only person I speak to for… 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

Bellisserian Voice: Did I Mention I Like Maps?
From Avalon: Throughout the Bellisseria 5th Anniversary Celebration, there is a rotating art exhibit called Art in the Park, and the artist and topic changes each week. I was so thrilled when I found out this week’s theme is Maps! “Look, Galdor,” I said. “Maps!” “Oh, no.” He dug in with both feet. Talons are… Continue reading
