♦ Latest News ♦
♦ Franco the goat The cables in His Lordship's press were found chewed late at night, turning extremely slow the release of this week's Ichronicles. A wild goat species (Capra chewingus), cousin to a known goat offender commonly known for causing trouble at service providers, has been sighted near castle grounds, and has become the main suspect, together with common LJ bugs. The Ichronicles delay hasn't, however, stopped week #03 from starting, and it has oficially begun with a notice posted by thequestmaster at iq_thefair. All entries submitted since then belong to week #03.
♦ Hear the crickets The woods have been very, very quiet lately... Not even smoke signals can be seen. Did the woodlings run to the hills or have they gotten really good at camouflage?
♦ Alphabetically labelled A mysterious person (or people? No one knows!) has tagged all the entries at the Kaleidoskope Fair, and the Quest Master's moustache curled in appreciation! Now entries can be found by maker (!makername), by guild (#fortress, #woods, #mountains, #underground) by chapter (.ch: one), by fandom (legend of the seeker, buffy, avatar: the last airbender, etc). Alternatively, visitors can Filter the entries by poster, using the Filter function at the LJ bar, top of the page.
♦ 20th Due to rainstorms flooding the southern-most border of the kingdom, Chapter Two has been postponed to July 20th, while it was initially supposed to be up on the 15th. More time to work on Chapter One, before even more challenges come your way!
♦ Ladies' moustache? The Fortune Teller has been seen frequenting the Quest Master's chambers, but rumor has that his Moustacheness has been writing poetry about a certain county clerk... Asked about it, Mauve blushed mauve, but didn't comment on the situation. Did the sorcerer see that coming?
