VIVE LA RÉVOLUTION!!!

. . . Um, I mean, congratulations! 😜

@bilbo-baggins

Hello!! We have been awaiting your arrival! Welcome to Kingdom Pen, the land of writing and chatting and much goofing off.

(Other KPers can sympathize with me. We’re happy to see you. You are among the first new members in a while.)

I am Whaley. I… don’t know what to say about myself. I haven’t done this in a while. Other…[Read more]

Awesome saaauuuuce. Thanks for finding Reagan’s email! Koshka and I joined a video call with him the other day and this was one of the first things we wanted to fix.

I must say, we must have surprised him and his wife. Indeed, they said they weren’t aware of our existence.

There was much discussion. Koshka and I will have to make a post about everything.

@kingdompen

Hello! :] Are you one of the KP moderators?

@loopylin

When you can, where do you go outside of the castle?

Do you like being around people or do you like to be alone most of the time?

What do you like to think about when no one else is around?

What are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?

What do you have in your pockets right now? Do you have a habit of carrying anything with you…[Read more]

@loopylin

What is… your favorite color?

The corner of Merlin’s mouth quirks. “Blue.”

Do you or have you ever had any pets?

“My family has owned lab rats, fish, sea monkeys, cats, new mother dogs in foster, insects, worms, isopods, all sorts of microorganisms. I’ve always wanted a bird because I’m going to work with them someday, but I guess y…[Read more]

@loopylin

Oh. Why would you like to go to the fairie realm?

How has your kingdom made alliances with the fairies before? Do you know the details of how that happened?

What is your family like?

What does a normal day in your life look like?

Do you like your royal responsibilities?

@loopylin

Ah. Do you normally have manservants and guardians following you around? That must feel stifling.

Why do you enjoy hunting and fencing?

Your mother sounds kind. Did you have nightmares because of your special gift? Or were your nightmares related to something else?

What is something you have always wanted to do – a dream or a goal -…[Read more]

“Alright, then. Wheedle what you can out of me.” Merlin takes the pretzel sticks and puts one halfway into his mouth like a cigar.

@loopylin

Merlin watches you for a little longer, his eye glittering, before he strides over to the kitchen counter and sits down across from you. His voice is quieter and much less emotional than his brother’s. “I’m not sure what all this is about, really.”

@loopylin

*climbs in through the window* *sets up a chair in front of the previous interviewer, facing Cosmo*

Cosmo, putting away his pie tin and oven mitts, pauses mid-movement. He watches you curiously.

Okay, my turn. *pulls out notepad and pen* I am here to interview your brother.

“Oh. Okay.” He takes off his mitts and waves them at you as he…[Read more]

@loopylin

Why did I read Ellis’ voice in a British accent when you’re the one who is supposed to hear British accents from my characters

Who I am doesn’t really matter. I’m just here to interview you. I promise, anything you say will be kept secret.

How would you describe yourself in three words?

Who is your best friend?

What do you think i…[Read more]

@loopylin

You’re Ellis Stormwatcher, aren’t you? We were both sent here so I can ask you a few questions. I hope you don’t mind if I do that.

@liberty

I’m just doing some stuff at community college, to get basic classes out of the way. Spanish has been a little time-consuming but it’s fun!

@elishavet-pidyon @power

You two understood the assignment!! This is exactly the stuff I want.

This is a lovely smorgasbord of information. I’m taking notes. I will be back to look at this again and look all of this up. Absolutely delightful replies.

Oh, and there was also King Charles VI, a.k.a. “Charles the Mad”, who often forgot his own name, insisted he was not king, and refused to bathe or change clothes for five months straight. He also thought at times that he was made of glass, and was scares people would bump into him. He also had a near death expirienced in a freak masquerade ball…[Read more]

There also was a Portuguese prince who fell in love with a noblewoman. His father, viewing her as a political threat, had her brutally assassinated while the prince was away. When the prince inherited the couple years later, posthumously made her his queen.  According to legend (but not history), He dug up her grave, had her dressed in royal…[Read more]

There was a “German” (I don’t think they where called that yet) King in the early middle ages who decided that his claim to the throne was based on him being a dependent of a mythical King who’s father was a sea dragon (a Quinotaur). The only people who could rule where from this lineage, and the sign of that was that they. . . had long…[Read more]

@koshka @elishavet-pidyon @e-m-trepke @beth-torres

Thank you for the ideas! I will add them to the list. Naming pets is a little harder than I remember it being. It’s been a while since I had some of my own. All of your suggestions are spiffing little names, indeed.

Plot twist, I’ve already sourced Redwall…[Read more]

I also welcome your favorite tropes. Tell me what interests you.
