I'm so disappointed to have missed this, I meant to watch but have been mostly sleeping off a bug for the last couple of days. I hope it was highly successful and well attended, it sounded excellent.

*actually did rub her eyes in disbelief* ... Thank you. Very much. It was great fun to write, and a definite challenge, perhaps one of the most difficult poems I've ever scribbled. I just want to say how fantastic the quality of the entries were, I very honestly didn't really hope to place. I'd like...

I'm always warmed by the reminders of how much admin care here. So many other sites do not concern themselves with the safety of younger people who visit, save a quick reminder on registration about net safety (if that.) You're good guys, and deserve a lot of respect and gratitude.

Isn't Albus the first name of Professor Dumbledor in the Harry Potter series? Yes. But it doesn't matter unless the whole name is a copy of the whole copyright... otherwise even names like 'John' would be outlawed. Albus on its own or in conjunction with something different is fine, Albus Dumbledor...

Let me preface this poem with an introduction. Please feel free to skip it! I looked for a regimented structure for this poem, to underpin the 'military' sense of the Order of the Iron Knights. I also however wanted it to have a certain grace, to highlight their courtliness (for want of a better wor...

Forgive this appearing twice on the forum, but I thought I should home it in this thread. Written for the Goddess Carol, as an answer to her 'favorite colour' contest, although not completed in time. It still stands as a fitting monument to her. The colour of leaves For Carol What of greater beauty ...

I was writing this while Edenn posted the correct answer, but I thought I'd share it anyway. The colour of leaves For Carol What of greater beauty can be seen Than spring-time leaves in baby green That nestle buds of silken treasure To burst in bloom at season’s leisure. Then darkens leaf to shade...

Can I suggest that some of these are doctored to fit in with the word limit? (Hope you don't mind, Carol!)

It would be a shame if they were disqualified for being over 100 words.

The Shrouded Sun building was still sparklingly new when Cerberus called. “Bandits!â€

You have such style, Urkki.

As for the never resting, you're right. Corwin has done more for contests in Valorn than anyone I can think of except of course the delightful Jimmy Kitten with her inspirational (hopefully annual...) Order of Norton contest.

There are certainly various difficulties with a race such as this. As Etheril pointed out, poofing and scrolls are hard to prevent - also I think this was contemplated before and it was felt that it might be a 'who has the fastest connection time' contest. But if you can iron out the inherent diffic...

I've shifted over to here, as it seems to be a more fitting forum than the social hall. Haleth Love divine be still and search no longer For thou hast found a home in fairest Haleth. A restful peace she leaves wherever she goes A gentle soul for love is all the stronger. Her silver thread binds soul...

In-game you should not quote or 'perform' any lyrics or verse that is not of your own composition. I started this thread so I could place some of the pieces created for characters in Trinald. While I have no objection to others adding to it in such a manner, I strongly object to out-of-place lyrics ...

Forgive me for my choice of subject for this one, my thoughts are somewhat introspective at the moment. Fleur What am I, when swift has gone the light And the sun has turned its face into the night Blankly; a pallid flickering remnant of lust To shadow darkly deep desires now dormant. For hold them ...

Informal usage of the word 'couple' can be taken as a direct synonym of the word 'two' or 'a few'. So you wouldn't say 'a 2 of animals.' You'd just say '2 animals.' This is the case where saying 'a couple animals' is ok. so it's probably an american colloquialism. it's informal, but passable in ame...

Oh you Aberdonian, you.
I think as a fellow 'english English' speaker I reported that one too, but omitting the 'of' is entirely alright in 'american English'

Reply to Cassandra: I see what you mean now, either way it is bad...trust me guarding alone is really not fun. And Guarding and talking between your alts is a little bizzare and wouldn't it be against the rules?? could just be me.... I don't think that is what Cassandra was referring to, but to ans...

or... 'It's 6am, no point in going to bed now!'

Coastal erosion. Tsk. Nowhere is safe.
