Katie Stewart (katiewstewart) | 1099 comments I just discovered this - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8317192/1...

It's somebody's rewrite of part of The Mark of the Dragon Queen. I knew people did this for real books, but it feels really strange to find my characters being rewritten. Strange but really lovely!

Sharon Tillotson (storytellerauthor) | 1802 comments Yeah, Katie!

You have arrived! (but then we knew that!) Who has the white gloves? Katie needs them.


message 3: by Patricia (new)

Patricia (patriciasierra) | 2388 comments I think Dakota is using them. We may have to chip in and buy a second pair.

I always knew ROBUST was a select place.


message 5: by Katie (new)

Katie Stewart (katiewstewart) | 1099 comments Hmmm, I think I may need studded, fingerless leather gloves for this one. White gloves would look very out of place. We're dealing with teenagers after all! Actually, I've found out that it was written by a 12-year-old girl. Not bad either for that age.


message 6: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Tillotson (storytellerauthor) | 1802 comments Not bad at all. She's got a long way to go, but how cool that you may have sparked a passion for writing in a budding author. Lucky girl to have discovered such a talent to emulate...

Wherever Sierra shopped for those gloves.

I'm patiently waiting my turn for the white gloves with the mother of pearl buttons...


message 12: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Tillotson (storytellerauthor) | 1802 comments Kench, Patricia! But do they come in white?

If not, I'm stealing this from the page to which you linked: http://www.absoluteties.com/150ch.html

We can cut the fingers off and Andre can supply the mother of pearl buttons...er, studs.

Patricia (patriciasierra) | 2388 comments Shouldn't we get some that go all the way to the elbow?


message 14: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Tillotson (storytellerauthor) | 1802 comments I dunno, maybe we should ask the royalty...

Andre, you're welcome to the white gloves with the mother-of-pearl buttons any time you like them. But don't forget, these studded gloves are for me to wear when I meet my teenage fans. One doesn't want to appear an old fuddy-duddy with teenagers.

Andre is royalty (literally: check "the Jutes" in the Encyclopedia Brittanica; they were the Kings of Kent) but he's so light-skinned, he wears black leather dress gloves whenever he leaves the house. Very butch.

I looked at patterns for gloves. Bloody hell! I thought I could sew, but I won't be attempting gloves.


message 20: by Dakota (new)

Dakota Franklin (dakotafranklin) | 306 comments I thought I'd better check my reference. It's a perfect description of Andre:

"The Jutes are a bit more suave and debonair than their Germanic cousins," the Angles and the Saxons.

K.A. Jordan (kajordan) | 3042 comments Did anyone shine the tiara? You never know when we'll need one.

Oh drat - I'm going to be late to the cookoff. No electtric, so I'm taking my nook.

Bloody colonials!

The royalty has yet to weigh in...

Sorry, I came in before, but was so overwhelmed by the thought of Andre in black leather dress gloves and tiara that I had to leave for a recuperative tipple.

Andre, my children will tell you, I am the Queen of Dragons when the mood hits me. Just don't rub my scales the wrong way.

Quite. I too smile until it is time to stop smiling. But I don't have moods. I'm always levelheaded and logical.

Sharon Tillotson (storytellerauthor) | 1802 comments How well-bred royalty behaves...


message 32: by Patricia (new)

Patricia (patriciasierra) | 2388 comments I'm more like the crazy relatives the royals hide in the attic. Very moody, uneven-headed.

Eh? You must be confusing the Jutes with johnnycomelatelies who run in popularity contests. My family has survived because they are more violent than their enemies. And smarter, of course. I can walk up the hill before my house and look down on the ruined abbey at the head of the bay, sacked by my ancestors three times in the 9th to the 11th centuries. The casus belli was a fat abbot who didn't get off the road fast enough when the dogs of Erik Bloodsword passed. I still cycle that road...

Sharon Tillotson (storytellerauthor) | 1802 comments What I meant to say a few posts up but now see I had a brain cramp: Bloody Colonialists!

Andre Jute (andrejute) | 4851 comments Mod
We tend not to mention colonising, colonial and other similar words. From freezing on some tiny peninsula to being rulers of distant parts and peoples breeds such a superior facility with hypocrisy, don't you know?

Don't reply until I've finished my drink. I'm on my last keyboard!
