*contains two swear words!*
So this is my entry to
jessicaelwood's contest. I don't know that it's really my best work, and I'm not thoroughly happy with it on the whole, but it's a little late to be making huge changes. This is more or less what I set out to write, and I think that's enough.
A little info about the character (since his background will be sent only to Miss Elwood), he actually began as a Mary Sue for a Redwall setting, hence the silly name. I later used him as a self-insertion character in a LARP. As he stands now, pretty much nothing but the name, staff and species remain from the original character concept, and I think he's grown far out of the Mary Sue realm, so no worries there. ^v^
Shout out to my buddy
thegru. He's totally gonna beat me. :D
Realm of Valis and all nations created by
jessicaelwood. I made up all the towns. c.c
EDIT, 9/8/09: I waited a year and a half for any word, and just found that the contest ended just five months later, with no word given here. I didn't win, lol. D: But now I know!

The characters and setting was quite cheery, and gave a pleasant feel; I also enjoyed the colorful language, (and no I don't mean the swear words.)
"The Arse end of the wrld shits snow!" That however was the best line ever!
As for the story idea it seemed to be only a peice, a fragment of a much larger story that should be told. Perhaps someday you can do that...

Originally, I had wanted him to actually tell his story to the kids. It would be a greatly exaggerated accounting of some fanciful adventure. However, when it came down to it, I absolutely couldn't come up with a story-within-a-story that actually worked, so I scrapped it. Reason #1 why I'm not satisfied with this. :|
Very nice. Based on how cheery everything was at the beginning, I somehow had a feeling there might be a darker thread running underneath; I wasn't disappointed. :) I also liked how well you worked in the descriptions and setting into the action and dialogue, so things kept moving without leaving the reader behind.
I really, really liked your dialogue in this story. It made me feel like I was there.
"The arse end of the world shits snow!"
That was great--and it made me laugh.
I'll admit, it started out great, slowed up just a little bit in the middle, but you picked it back up with the slightly dark mood at the end. Well done. You're quite talented.
