(Come to think of it, if you enjoyed this snippet of my worldbuilding you might enjoy my full on WIP I “borrowed” these characters for, I don’t think I’ve ever shown it to you specifically. It’s a junkpile but it’s at least a semi-coherent story and much cleaner than many works I’ve caught glimpses of in the fandom.)

I’m game! I think…[Read more]

I don’t like Roger Williams (founder of Rhode Island and my distant ancestor) because he was too soft on theology. He also got kicked out by the Puritans and that’s never a good sign. And for all his pomp about religious freedom in Rhode Island, the church density there is lower than in North Carolina, where I live. So yea…

@calyhuge

Thank you! Yes, Welsh, Irish, Scotch, and old Briton legends are very similar in that vein. Oh yeah. I hate Tinkerbell fairies. I think theres a time and a place for cute little flower fairies like Cicely Mary barker drawings, but those are by no means Fey.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the ending! Wow, to hear that the…[Read more]

@calyhuge whoa he was your ancestor? As much as you might dislike him, you gotta admit that’s cool.

@calyhuge

THAT WAS SO GOOD!!!

@ellette-giselle

I’M A GUY WITH SISTERS!!!!

@calyhuge

She would have turned inside out, hit the roof, and had a hysterical conniption fit all at once!

@calyhuge

(It would have been 100% if Electro Duder had at the end had stuck something green and slimy on the girl neck!!!!)

@rae

Wait! Really!!!!!?? Oh how cool! Thank you so much! WOW!!! Yippy!

@raxforge @elishavet-pidyon @calyhuge @liberty @keilah-h

The rest of y’all did an amazing job, and I LOVED reading your stories! Glad I don’t have to be the judge.

Oh wait.

I can’t wait, but it’s gonna be hard!!!

Okay. How long of a brake…[Read more]

The results are in!

Note: I’m listing these in no specific order to give you all my thoughts

Liberty: First of all, I love your style. I think I’ve read one other thing of yours before, but I don’t remember being blown away by the word choice like I was with the first…[Read more]

So, there’s a story behind why there’s a bobcat on the crest. There’s a legend about the Sutherland clan that way back in the day, they didn’t have their own land.

They went to some other lord in that area because they saw a beautiful, bountiful piece of land which they wanted for their clan. To their surprise, the…[Read more]

I’m really mostly Welsh, and my great-grandfather was a coal-miner “down the pits.” My grandfather’s second cousin is a druid, and my grandfather is a retired Reformed Presbyterian minister.

That’s pretty cool. Especially the coal-miner!

Also one of my random ancestors founded Rhode Island. Not too proud of that one.

@liberty  @calyhuge

You know what, I bet neither of you wanted that long of an answer.

lol.

@liberty  @calyhuge

Actually, that’s an interesting story. One that I know.

Ireland: Dunn

So, In Ireland we were from the house of Dunn. Here is the crest. (I haven’t done as much research into the history on this side, so I don’t have the tarlatan.

My ancestors the Dunns lived in the County Meath (Irish: An Mhí) anciently part of the k…[Read more]

I’m a farm girl, I’ve seen some gross things.

Oh, yeah! Isn’t farming amazing? I’ve been a farm girl, too, (though not currently) and yes, you definitely see some gross stuff…especially on a conventional dairy farm.

@ellette-giselle

@calyhuge

Awesome! I’ve got Scots-Irish, too! Well, it’s mostly Scots. My family’s from the Sut…[Read more]

@calyhuge

Okay, okay. I’m scots-irish too, so I guess you might call me one. Or at least a red-neck. (I’ve got Jewish and German as well. it makes a very interesting mix)

Anyhow, I meant that we know how to use things like computers. lol.

@calyhuge

just because we’re farm kids doesn’t make us Hillbillies or something!

lol

@calyhuge   @rae

I’m a farm kid too and have been around some nasty things,but then there are stories like that. It kinda gave me a shudder. BUT, it was funny. And disgusting at the same time.

@calyhuge

because girls think stuff is gross that guys think is funny

Oh…that honestly makes sense.

I’ll give you my thoughts when I give it to everyone else, but I think you’ll be surprised. I’m a farm girl, I’ve seen some gross things.

@calyhuge

I did think it was funny. I also thought it was gross. Quite gross. Grossly gross. But it was funny.

Still wondering how y’all come up with stuff like that though.

@calyhuge

I wish this forum wasn’t mostly girls

Uh…okay. Out of the blue but okay. I don’t understand how that relates to your story but okay.
