Faeries

Two of my friends (Brianne and Sarah Ramsay) are writing a story with me and Kendle. It's a story about Faeries and we're each writing a paragraph and then voting on the best paragraph. I'm going to post each of the paragraphs and what we've written (yeah I know, I'm copying Katie) and you can read it if you want to. Keep in mind that it's the first draft so somethings might change.

Faerie Story
By Brianne Ramsay, Sarah Ramsay, Ginny Romney, Kendle Romney

"Can I have everyone’s attention please?" The Bindress announced to the crowded hall. Instantly the hall became silent, as if a spell had been cast. "As you know, my husband and I are very old. For the last three months we have been analyzing every graduated flingling to decide which four will compete for Binderhood of this great Bind. Not only have these Links been tested alone but in groups to see if their leadership skills are up to mark. We have matched together two pairs that will compete against each other. We feel that we have chosen well and whoever wins will surely be great leaders. Now we present to you the four contestants. Anwen and Trince will be our first pair. The second pair will be Narzelda and Gwenerth. May those who are meant to be the Binders win." The hall shook with thunderous applause.
Anwen’s brilliant green eyes widened. She needed to be alone, to gather her thoughts. She couldn’t handle being congratulated by everyone right now. Luckily she was near the back of the crowded hall. She quietly snuck out, even though no one would notice her leaving, especially with the hubbub going on.
"Where are you going?" Ffion smiled, tossing her golden blonde hair back. "Shouldn’t you be enjoying your glory? You and I both know you’ve been working for this your whole life."
Anwen smiled. Ffion was usually right, at least when it came to figuring her out. Anwen just wished she could see through her best friend as easily.
"You deserve to celebrate!" Said Ffion.
"Thanks Fi but I really have to find someone right know," Anwen replied.
"What’s wrong with you? If I was about to marry a total stud like Trince I wouldn’t be running away! Military guys are SO hot! Ooo here comes Mr. Fine!"

AWSOME! Was that the 1 U wrote? I liked it, especially the end.

Captain Whitney said...

Creative!

Kendle wrote the end, Kendle could care less about all the characters except for Ffion. I mostly wrote everything else (my ideas won) and since Sarah and Brianne are here this weekend we'll probably work on the story some more.

Captain Whitney said...

Cool. My friend and I are writing a stupid story together, not nearly as cool as URs.
I liked Kendel's ending, but I loved how you can almost tell what the charicter is like after a few paragraphs. I felt like I was reading a real novel. It reminded me of a different really good book I read, though I can't remember the name of it at the moment.
How do you pronounce Faeries?

Ginny-Gin-Gin said...

Like fairys. It's been hard doing this stoy with one of my friends though because she can't make up her mind on stuff. I wanted to figure out one of the characters background so I talked to everyone about is but she says it's not important because we're not going to write it in the story. I KNOW it's not going to be in the story but I like to know it anyway, you know?

You should post the stories you wrote with your friends, stupid stories are the best!

Ginny - I'm enjoying it so far. Keep writing! :O)

Captain Whitney said...

My stories kind of embarasing, and I can sum up the whole plot line of three books in one sentance:

A maid named Kathryn is being forced by the king to marry a disgusting guy named Bill and she has to figure out how to stop him.

Not all that complicated, though there are side plots, like a secret organization, who the princess is going to marry (the candidates are a night named Leif and Kathryn's twin brother Fred) also Kathryn's parents who are dead and a relationship between the blacksmith Remus and the seamstriss Sarah.
There's a lot to the side plots.
I know a lot about my charicters that I don't put in my books, like Fall's real name.
Ohmygosh! I almost gave something away! Oops!
Can't wait to hear more from your story!

I'm almost finished with my next part of the story. What I'm going to do is post everyone's entries and the post the winning one after we've voted. (It may become confusing, I'll answer any questions you have.) I'm doing this so you see how we're writing this story together even though we're several towns apart.

Captain Whitney said...

Cool. My friend and I don't vote, it's just one of us writes a page or two and then hands it to the other person. Then they read it and write what happens next. Sometimes it messes it up though, becouse I want something to happen and Cristianna changes it so that I can't.
Another random side-plot, a book that Kathryn finds. I still don't know what's in the book, we haven't gotten that far and it was Cristianna's idea.

Ginny-Gin-Gin said...

I personally wish that I could take the story and write it all myself! One of my friends dosen't exactly have the same idea as the other three of us. She thinks that telling people what's happening is weak. (Long story behind that.) I like having other people help with ideas but I wish I could write it all! I'm afraid that the four different styles of writing would clash.

What's your phone number Katie? We pay one payment for both our phone lines so it'd be nice to call you sometime.

Captain Whitney said...

I know how you feel, I get that way with Cristianna, thoguh usually we get along well enough, the problem is getting her to hand it back over to me.

Captain Whitney said...

Ginny, get on my chat site at five my time on Friday (that's an order, not a request) =).

Ginny-Gin-Gin said...

Okay, it's a deal

Captain Whitney said...

So SORRY I missed it! How about Tomorrow at five my time, does that work for U? I promise I'll remmeber this time!

Captain Whitney said...

Or maybe I won't.
Brainless me.
I really do like this one. Not nessesarilly the end only.
Somehow I'm not surprised UR idea won.
