The collection for My Old Fandom opened up this afternoon, and I must tell you about the MOST INCREDIBLE GIFT story I got!
One, it's 8700 words, which isn't bad for a story that went to pinch hit.
Two, it's just incredible. It's called
The Wand of Siora the Wise, for the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. Here's the prompt: Dungeons and Dragons (Cartoon) - In the Hall of Bones episode, there is a female spirit warrior. Is she married to one of the men? Is she a warrior queen in her own right? Do they ever run into her and/or some of her descendants? Like I said above, I have a serious issue with getting sidetracked onto minor characters. Bonus points if you work in Eric and Sheila somehow.
I cannot recommend this story strongly enough - if you were ever a fan of the show, READ IT. The author did a great job of capturing the feel of the show, the dialogue is wonderful, the whole thing is just - squee! It's that good.
