Do you have writers/art block? I came up with an idea that I know has been done before but thought would be great to do again.
For the writers - write a story told by
your deer.
It can be any kind of story, such as a legend, poem, myth, short story, and so on. While I'm not enforcing any 'rules' on this, I would prefer that your story
isn't starring your own deer. It would be great if you can write the story about someone else's character. However, if you can't decide on anyone to write about, it can be about anonymous characters. I'll make a list of everyone's story on this page, and you can write multiple stories if you'd like.
For the artists - it would be great if you can do some artwork inspired by the stories. Multiple people can do artwork for one story, and I will display artworks done on this page too. Artworks can be any way you do them - sketches, digital work, photo manips, however you like.
Anyway, let me know if you decide to participate, and I'll post your links up here. Thanks for any submissions, and have fun with this!
If you submit something for this event, please let me know in a comment!

Hmm...Probably not with other's characters, since I admit I feel wierd writing others' characters. But certainly with anonymous characters, in the manner of a true fairytale.
Hmm, sounds pretty fun ^-^
I think I might give this a try...

Thanks everyone! I'm glad to
I posted my first story now. I hope you guys like it!
I've found a subject matter,
Sounds good! I can't wait to
By the way, don't be surprised if you see a story or two being told by one of my deadly trio.
Keme loves telling tales,
Anyhow, it should be neat to read more forest tales!
I'll try to write a myth for

Question Quad: Is it all
Because otherwise, Jergens telling a story right out of the blue wouldn't make any sense at all x3
EDIT: Here clicky
I really think I went a bit far with it... ;; I'm so sorry...
You didn't go too far with it
Don't worry, one of the ones I plan to write is really going to go too far. One of my baddies, Iugulare, is going to tell it
D'aw, it's all good. I had a
Oop forgot to mention, too.
Pfft I'm wondering about if I'd be okay writing my next one, though. It's told by Iugulare who is a baddie, so she likes to talk about terrible creatures and what they like to do to poor, defenseless pregnant does. 8[
Maybe I'll put a warning up at the top of that story...

Thanks everyone! I'm glad that this is going so well, wasn't sure how it would turn out but the stories are really great!
Iug's story is up now.
Back from work, and now I have two more ideas for stories but don't know which one to write first:
Zephyr has a story about a lonely fawn who makes some unusual friends in the Forest,
and Nekumbra has a dark love story about a doe who has trouble finding her true love.
Let me know if there's one you guys want me to write first, but I still want to wait until a few more stories are done. By the way, you guys can write as many as you want, and they can be by the same storyteller too.
Sadly I beat you to it a bit

Hmm... is it too early for me
If I did, who would you guys like to hear from next? Zephyr or Nekumbra?
Nekumbra'd be awesome! OwO
How the Pond came to be, all
Got it! Thanks for the
I'm probably going to write Nekumbra's story tonight, had a funny (and morbid) idea for it too. What if I wrote it in the same style as my Return to Nature stories, where you read it in first person, but you're in the perspective of a poor fawn who Nekumbra has captured, and since she acts kind of 'motherly' to her prey, she tells you a bed time story before...'tucking you in' so to speak.
Maybe she tells a story to each of her victims to ease their suffering as they die. Her personality is still being worked on so it's a possibility.
.....may I have some of that
And I say go for it, for sure! I'd read it.@.@

Speaking of this, any stories that you wrote a while ago but feel like it fits the theme can be added!
I enjoyed reading other's
I tried, anyway.
