Just wanted to say "Happy Mother's Day" to all the mother's in the guild. I pray your day is lovely and rich in joy.

A month away, Tiz? It says July - so, two months, correct?

Sure sounds like fun. Hope I can be there!

I'm not actually able to go to Blizzcon. However, I live only a few hours drive away and was wondering if there was any chance of meeting up outside of the area that would require a pass. Like dinner or breakfast or whatever. I'd happily drive over from AZ. I just need to plan on it and there's not ...

Using http://www.random.org to pick the winner, I can say: Congrats to Bloodyfields. You are the winner of a brand new, never been read before Gusting Grimoire. Thanks to both Bloody and Eclectic for participating. Just because the contest is over doesn't mean you should stop writing. Tell us your c...

I work with adults with intellectual challenges. Working with the population I do, most days I have occasion to hide some emotion I'm feeling so as to not overwhelm the person I'm working with. Today, it was hiding tears as I helped one of my men with a creative writing challenge: How would you chan...

Great idea, Tiz! Wish I had more time to lvl pets. =D

Playtime has been sporadic recently - real life busy; finally working on the writing I've been wanting to do all my life; sucked it up and transferred my Alliance DK to a PVE realm and am trying to get caught up; spending more time outside as the weather gets nicer - and I've heard that others have ...

Congratulations to our winners from Friday evening! And congrats to everyone who participated.

Big Thanks to Tiz for all the organization.

It looks like our diminutive friend Casanunda and Swamp Dragons were the favorite combatants.

Thanks everyone for a great time!

Too bad. I worked until 9pm East coast time, and I have one horde toon out of 50 toons. I for one, will not roll nor play a horde toon. The one I have, is from my days on Cho'Gall Allie, before CRZ when it was a 16+:1 horde/alliance ratio. Maybe an Alliance Warcraftpets guild is needed. Because I w...

Forgiveness is an ax. And I don't remember what Death says. She probably asks if he could have saved them and he gives and appropriately Death-like reply. The Pratchett Trials, coming up this Friday evening. Be there or be a Roundworld person. Trivia, Trivia! 1. What useful current information can b...

I doubt he'll be taught in universities... but people who teach in universities will read him, write about him, form clubs dedicated to him, etc. for generations. Most like true, sadly enough, as the books often cry out for college level examination. As you said, that won't stop people from experie...

@Skyquake: You make some excellent points (although Hogfather is one of my least favorite books = ] ). I suggested The Color of Magic simply because it is one of the shortest books, in case someone was interested but didn't have much time. I think the thing I love about Pratchett is that he has prov...

Aaannnddd in this corner! The Biggest, Baddest, Scariest Creature on all of the Disc . . . . .The Luggage!! To help get you in the mood, here's a quote from The Light Fantastic: It's very patient and it never gives up. That's sapient pearwood you're dealing with. It'll let you think it's forgotten y...

Thanks so much Bloodyfields. Pupsong was 1500 words. I'd shoot to go no more than 2,000, 2,200 in a pinch, for readability.

Author's note: Thralla's story is not cuddly-wuddly. She's an orc. Pupsong Thralla slid along the ground, her leather tunic and leggings picking up a thick layer of the dark volcanic soil that covered this region. Though she was nowhere near the lava vents, their heat hung oppressively in the still,...

Winter lingers. Just the other day we had snowfall where we usually do not. Spring, though approaching faster in Arizona than in other locals, still alludes us. What to do to pass the time filled with inclement weather? Tell stories of course. I do not raid or run dungeons (usually) and while I try ...

Ty, thank you for your graciousness. Glad you are so enthusiastic. I'm actually very excited and look forward to the event.

But Wait; There’s More!!! For the Pratchett Trials, how could there not be more? A Look A Like Contest. The day/evening of the competition, please post in this thread a picture of yourself, a family member, a family pet, or heck, even a statue in the garden, dressed up as your favorite character fr...

In a distant and secondhand set of dimensions, in an astral plane that was never meant to fly, the curling starmists waver and part . . . See . . . Great A’Tuin . . . who bears the Weight of Berilia, Tubal, Great T’Phon and Jerakeen, the four giant elephants upon whose broad and star-tanned shoulde...

Padrone, we ARE a great guild! Welcome - once you've figured out class, race, hairstyle. = )
