Not a three word alliteration,it's an alliteration story,though it's not perfect, I had fun with it and wanted to share it!


Azure’s always aiding ailing adventurers amidst angry animal attacks!
Because before battling boisterous bears brawny bruits buy better blessed battle axes.
Clearly causing ciaos, cautious clerics can’t contain.
During dawn’s dwindling darkness.
Early echo’s encouraged Enchanters eager enriching enchantments.
For following forward forewarned frees familiar friends fears.
Gaining ground, groaning gnomes give grand growls.
Hearing, heartless hero’s head home hurriedly.
Ignoring ignorance, innocent initiate incite inexplicably.
Joining jarring jousts joyfully!
Kind Kimaldians keep cut korungas to share.
Leopards leap lank, leering, looking longingly, and licking lips at lazy, lounging Low.
Mischief makers march merrily making much music.
Noisy obnoxious noses nearly annoy neighbors.
Obnoxious oaf offers Opal ornaments for oatmeal.
Paying plat pleases passing peoples purses, causing
Queen Cordelia to quietly questions people’s inquisitiveness.
Realizing rogues require repaired rapiers
Swift sword smiths’ sale special sharpening stones
Though this time tireless teams test termites temper, though
Usually unnerving us.
Veteran demons use viscous, venomous voices
Waking worthy warriors when world is wronged.
Xia excitedly examines expressions from hexed adventures exhausting them!
Yearly yahoos in yellow yearn to yodel or yack yet yield a yawn.
Zigzag or zoom with zeal with zillions as a zither plays this Summer fair!

Extorting Everyone Equally

When I take the time to cook someone a nice meal, all I ask for is a simple "Thank you".
Not all this "how did you get into my house" business.

Master linguists who submitted entries:

Thank you! They were ALL quite clever! However, winners must be decided. Clearly, a difficult decision as it took us a *clears her throat* while to come to agreement. But, without further ado, the winner is:

Alanna!, for her clever use of a challenging consonant.

Honorable mention to Joyfire. Though she, admittedly, stretched the rules by a few words *chuckles* we did very much enjoy her alliteration story.

Thank you again to all the submissions! It was great to hear from old friends and new.

Now, as soon as we can build the plaque, it will be posted in the Honor guildhall in the Parlor.

Best to all!

Thank you for running a fun contest. It was hard to keep it to 3 words.
