We have until Monday to pick, so there is lots now to think about :)
Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we never know which one is which until we've loved them, left them, or fought them.

Fret not, landlings. I am not angry with little fish. But I think he should have a go every once in a while, if only for the sake of variety!

Ah... Hi friends! Look! I finished my story for the "Mayday / May Day" prompt!  :sparkle: ;D :sparkle:

*Everybody stares at him. Somebody points at a calendar.*

What! It ended! We are almost ending the next prompt!?  O_O

Well, I guess I can blame too much work... Anyway, here is the story on AO3. I hope you like it:
The Wanderer

Now I'll go see what you all have been doing while I was away...  ^-^

Hey, so is there a prompt? I did propose "long lost relative" but I am not married to it (cue jokes). Maybe something to do with the book-related discussion in the re-read thread?

Also, I guess we're going to have "Emil" in two weeks, for that birthday? I want to paint some fires.

Grey,
That is a really great story.  There really is not anything from the "monsters" side.  So it was very interesting. 

"long lost relative"  is fine for me as a prompt.

Thanks, dmeck!  ^-^

There are a few stories from the "other side". First comes to mind is "Copenhagen" by sectoboss. It's great and mindblowing! Makes me want to write from there...

And I like the prompt too.   :)

SectoBoss is a fascinating writer. Some of my tales have their roots in his work.

There are a few, also by Wavewright, and whose was the ”Hsss” about a librarian? But I haven’t read any that have such an active proponent who also is a troll.

Jitter, you alreay linked to the Sleipnope ghost story. That used a monstrous POV too! And I think there are a few stories with a kade POV in them somewhere.

I wrote a drabble about Emil's mercy-killed dog once, but I have stayed away from other trolls, as I worry about breaking my own heart by making them too sympathetic.

I think i have read a few of the Kade ones. I had just read "Copenhagen" by sectoboss.  That is rather profound and need to look at more.  :) So much reading and so little time...

I did one from a prompt about the information pages concerning bear beasts, from the point of view of the bear beast that had a sort of frog-like look. It even had a sort of happy ending.

OMG grey, I just realized that your story counts for the 'long-lost relative' prompt! So it's not late at all!

Maybe you meant "Shhh" about a librarian?  That was one of mine.
