Well, it's not as if this will be on the direct way to getting publishes, so I could move it to the Quill, Ink and Keyboard forum, so everyone can have fun.

What do you think?

Yeah, it did. I just wasn't sure if you were aware or if it was a cultural difference. It's a bingo (and respect! if you get the reference).

I think that's a great idea! And, of course, you need to join in our randomness yourself, Firle! emoticon

I just loved the thought of a shrew army attacking a dragon. emoticon
Good idea, Firle! Now the story can get even crazier. emoticon

*ACHOOoooo!* Leftover smoke poured from his nostrils as s/he sneezed in the direction of the Shrew Queen, making his nose tickle even worse. The queen squeaked in dismay and disappeared somehow, the dragon couldn't see, for the cloud of smoke grew and grew until it became...a genie!

"Great Dragon Master!" the genie cried out, "what three wishes would you ask of me?"

Our dragon froze, paralyzed with shock and indecision. Three wishes, but WHICH three? Unending shinies for his hoard? A harem of beautiful she-dragons? A thick but invisible door for his cave, so irritating knights couldn't wake him on weekends? Maybe just an end to mornings altogether? There were so many choices!

Oh, and what about that shrew queen? Something would have to be done about her, he supposed.

Oooo! Very good choice for a shiny-loving dragon, Trying!

My wish for the dragon is:

A mobile force field, capable of protecting one (1) dragon and/or his hoard-filled cave from the encroachments of such enemies as early-rising knights with big prickly swords and irritating shrew queens.

Re: Everyone's fun with words story


Haha! True enough. In fact, let me write that last bit up into the story now...

Here goes again!



*ACHOOoooo!* Leftover smoke poured from his nostrils as s/he sneezed in the direction of the Shrew Queen, making his nose tickle even worse. The queen squeaked in dismay and disappeared somehow, the dragon couldn't see, for the cloud of smoke grew and grew until it became...a genie!

"Great Dragon Master!" the genie cried out, "what three wishes would you ask of me?"

Our dragon froze, paralyzed with shock and indecision. Three wishes, but WHICH three? Unending shinies for his hoard? A harem of beautiful she-dragons? A thick but invisible door for his cave, so irritating knights couldn't wake him on weekends? Maybe just an end to mornings altogether? There were so many choices!

Oh, and what about that shrew queen? Something would have to be done about her, he supposed.

"I wish," the dragon said, "for more wishes."

"Don't be stupid," the genie said. "If it was that easy, I'd never get anywhere."

"I wish for a different colour of flame, then."

"Hooray and huzzah," cried the genie, in a thoroughly bored tone of voice. He gestured vaguely with one hand, adding, "Okay, fine, there you go. Since you didn't specify, I decided to make it change colors randomly. I put together a nice random number code over the time I've spent in that magic lamp you swallowed a thousand years ago."

"I swallowed a LAMP?"

The genie looked annoyed. "Yeah, mine. Now, if you wouldn't mind, just give me wish number two?"

"Um, okay. How about some kind of shield? You know, one that can protect me from shrews and knights when I fly around. Oh! And it would need to be able to be extended around my hoard!"

With another half-hearted gesture from the genie, a zerrrrt! of power sprang into being around the dragon. "There. One mobile force field. When you're in your cave, it'll surround whatever hoard you have, too. Wish number three, please? So I can get back to my book?"

The dragon thought for a moment. "I know!" s/he said. "I wish for another genie."



Now it's up to someone else to add something!

No longer bored, a evil grin curled the corners of the genie's mouth. "Very well oh wise dragon."
Shizzzbam! He summoned his free genie brother and together they chased the dragon from his/her lair and claimed its hoard for their own.

Now the dragon was REALLY ticked. "First shrews, then genies. And all I wanted to do was sleep in late today!"

Re: Everyone's fun with words story


But the dragon had a cunning plan. Genies may have stolen its hoard, shrews may have kicked its butt, but it had the most glorious colour changing flame in the world, and could easily get a boyfriend. Or girlfriend. Once it worked out what it wanted.

But how to find one. There was only one way. She (or he) would have to find a wizard and put an advert up on the World Wide Wand.

(PS, that links especially for you, Rey. Showing that nothing is ever truly original I found a picture of a drogn with boobies. Showering, I think. Enjoy!)

Oh my. That is truly disturbing. To think that we're not the only crazy ones out there. Well, crazy in the same WAY, that is.

A pole-dancing dragon? I thought she was scrubbing her back, but then I'm very innocent.

Aah, yes, the pole continues right down...

I had wondered about the lack of water.

I blame CSI for my lack of innocence, it's amazing how many times they have to go into a strip club for info. emoticon


Unfortunately, every wizard the dragon approached ran like crazy, dropping books, wands and even robes in their haste. Being a conscientious dragon s/he gathered up the litter and hauled it back to its cave. Perhaps s/he could rebuild its hoard by selling everything.

Re: Everyone's fun with words story


Later that night, since s/he was bored (having no shinies to polish), s/he started poking through some of the magic books. There was one labeled "Magick For Dummies and Dragons" which s/he thought was particularly helpful. And the pictures were shiny!

Yes, the first thing I'd do on seeing a dragon would be to throw my clothes at it.
