Some stories will be delayed, please pardon the wait Eye




In celebration of the Christmas Spirit, I wanted to write 12 more stories for the community.

If you missed the first and second editions of Holly on the Old Oak, check them out here. There's also a lot of awesome artwork and writing from fellow TEF members!

Updated. Only two I

Updated.

Only two I desperately need characters for are the Mall Santa story (1-2 more fawns or young characters would be fine) and the Nightmare Before Christmas story (anyone to be Shock and Barrel, younger character preferred but I'll go with anyone)

The remaining ones that have available slots are open in case anyone's got a deer to toss into them, otherwise I can work with who I have for them.

I also started to write Victor and Isaita's story. Eye

Well, if you think that you

Well, if you think that you won't be missing her in the Mistletoe story, you can use Foxbrow for the Nightmare story as Shock/Barell instead. She is quite a prankster, who is for any mischief.

Which also reminds me to ask you, if you remember Foxbrow and Silun well enough. I have withdrawn their bios some time ago and now there is only a little of information about them. So would you like me to put those back (although being outdated already), or do you think it's not necessary right now?

For Shock, maybe Castallion?

Alrighty, the Nightmare

Alrighty, the Nightmare Before Christmas story is officially full. Still got a few more slots available if anyone else would like to be included but I'm pretty much good to write most of these. I'd probably like 1-2 more does for the mistletoe story

I'll try to work on these

I'll try to work on these soon, but I haven't been feeling the best up here in Pennsylvania. Been having a lot of eye problems again so these may be delayed.

Working on these today. Also

Working on these today. Also if you've got a "25 days of Christmas" gifting thread, please let me know and I'll add it to the list. I haven't been on very much lately so I haven't been keeping track of all of them, but I've seen a lot of them lately.


I may go ahead and post the blogs for the stories to be on later, so you may see some spammage on the front page. Feel free to track if there's a story you're looking forward to.

Still got a few more to write

Still got a few more to write so these will most likely be a little late. I may not post them on December 1st like I usually do, all depends on if I can get them done in time or not XD...I hate to rush but I just have been busy up here in Pittsburgh.

But umm...I came up with a pretty good idea for the Nightmare Before Christmas story, and wanted to mention that I actually have one more role for the story - a narrator. I wanted to ask if anyone absolutely wanted their character to be the narrator, it's an important role for the story but you won't be a character, just someone off to the side narrating.

If no one volunteers I can just have Quad do it, but I wanted to offer it up if someone wanted to be in the Nightmare Before Christmas story.

Thanks guys, I think the idea I came up for it will be pretty awesome.

One last thing, I can still use a loooooooot of characters for the Advent Calendar story! I was really hoping I would have 25 characters for it, but if not I can work something out. As of right now I have 11 characters for it and can use 14 more Eye

Orinoco - I will post the stories up in individual blogs, I usually do that early but I haven't had the time this year so I'll most likely post them up each day. I hate spamming the front page so XD...sorry about that


So anyone for the narrator role? If not I'm going to try to work on that story soon.

Hey sorry for the wait on the

Hey sorry for the wait on the last three stories. We have company over until Tuesday so I haven't been on my laptop much at all. I'm hoping that maybe after Tuesday I'll have enough time to get them written. I hope you guys don't mind waiting a little longer for them.

On a related note, I can't seem to find a copy of The Nightmare Before Christmas anywhere, not even Wal-Mart or Target! I was going to watch it for reference for that story but I just can't find anyone that has a copy. It's absolutely frustrating!
