please be patient with me in reading this....

[Scaramouche]

I love writing and would LOVE to join in with you guys sometime (you guys have tons of skill I've enjoyed reading your stuff on here) but seeing as I don't really get how it works with yall yet I was just wondering if someone could give me a quick lowdown on it? Thank you!

[Zelda]

Scaramouche,
WELCOME!!!! Easiest way is to find a story line that has an opening for a new character and intergrate yourself. (I've got one coming up, PM if you are interested). If you cant find a story line start one with you arriving in town (HINT most travellers stay at the Bitter End).
May I suggest though that you go through the Archives and read the thread on Rules and Regulations (it saves grief if Moon or I have to do something later.)
Once again WELCOME, new blood is always wanted!
Zelda
(Sometimes Queen of Arconia)

[its_me_mango]

i will try to explain. You read their stuff, you reply, you can write as though you want them to continue on their story line, you can edit their writing, you can write to change the story line, your choice, you will be insulted, then the people who really and truly believe they're Hemmingway will feel insulted and write I AM INSULTED reports all over the board. then you will feel a little let down, but then you'll rationalize that it doesn't matter, then you write a few paragraphs that you like and post it. IF someone on the board likes you, they'll respond in a quasi - british accent and you're expected to write back british. that's all i know. (breath as though 5)
Good luck.

[lochinvar]

Well, hello, Mango. Nice to hear from you again. Interesting impressions.

Scaramouche: check your PMs. I sent my take on it there.

Nice to hear you're interested. We'd love to have you aboard.

[Swordsman]

Quick lowdown? Not possible. But I'll give you a lowdown.

Once upon a time (early May 2000), the wise and ancient Arcon started a thread called "The establishment of Arconia". It was originally just to be quick fun, something that could be considered successful if it got a few laughs and lasted a week. Little did any of us know.

Several royal appointments were made early on in the thread, as the government system worked itself out. Latenight was almost immediately established as royal attorney, and a call went out for a queen.

Zelda and Mango both met the basic requirements (Female, single, and willing), but both wanted the position. Several solutions were proposed, including duels, and toothpick fencing. Zelda seemed to be favored, and even suggested that she and Mango be co-queens. Mango, however, declined the position, leaving Zelda queen.

Most people skipped around a little before settling on a position. Moonitic was naturally the royal scribe, but others weren't so sure. I for one was offered postion of armorer, and additionally aked to be official makes-fun-non-fencers(er?), or the runner until a communications system was worked out.

War with fencingsucks.com started almost immediately, and a royal security force was established. I jumped for the opportunity to head it, as did Fencing Angel. Due to several misunderstandings, we nearly had to duel for the position, and in addition most thought him a girl. However, this proved irrelevant when fencingsucks.com kidnapped the Lady Moonitic and Craig, the webmaster. This is the first place where the kingdom branched out of the thread.

A recovery effort was mounted: The Strike Force Aiovus rode out from Arconia to execute a midnight commando raid. Its commander was the dark, mysterious Nækos Servaya, with Sir Angelo at his right hand. Upon entering fencingsucks.com domain, the force split into two groups. The first, led by Nækos, spearheaded the rescue of Moonitic, the lady he was sworn to protect. The second, headed by Angelo, went after Craig. Both destroyed several essential routing hubs in the process, thanks to the demolitions expertise of the late lady Lorelei Ledgerto. Nækos went ahead of his team to get Moonitic, and they were forced to leave without him. He retrieved his lady, and they escaped just before dawn. Angelo's team fared less well; they got Craig and got out, but sustained several casualties in the process, including many being captured and imprisoned for a few days. In the end, an Arconian victory.

Back home, unrest continued. Mango attempted to overthrow the kingdom, claiming Arcon's incompetence. Caught while still in the stages of ranting in the streets, she was imprisoned and put on trial, though later pardoned for I don't remember exactly what reason. Space_cadet was raising holy hell with a sustained propoganda campaign, and ended up in a duel of words with me. If you liken it to a fencing match, he never bothered parry, but simply threw down his weapon, kicked me in the shins, and took the black card while giving the director the finger. He later attempted (for a short time) a partner story with Ledgerto, but quit that quickly.

A short time after these, a royal costume ball was announced. All were to attend, describing mask, costume, weapon, and date. Latenight arrived with Jennifer Lopez, Moonitic with Antonio Banderas. Though she was later discovered in a dark corner with another mysterious gentleman.

Nækos attended with Ledgerto, who surprised him by revealing to him his eye color (green). After only a dance, however, they decided to go out to the balcony to talk. There she told him of letters she'd been receiving from an unknown source. They threatened both her and her younger sister, the Dame d'Escrime. She asked Nækos for the protection of the strike force, and he promised these for both ladies. Not a minute later, she was killed by an assassin's arrow through the back, just as her little sister arrived downstairs. Nækos brought her body in, then vaulted the balcony and went running after the assassin. Unfortunately, he escaped. Returning inside, he collected the distraught Dame (whose name was later determined to be Josephine), rallied the attending members of the force, and retreated to the more secure location of his cottage on the outskirts of the city. This marked the beginning of "Aftermath of the Assassination", the longest thread in Fantasy Land, and I believe second-longest on the whole board.

At his cottage it was determined that Jo would have to be trained to fight, both for her protection and in keeping with the wishes of her late sister. Only Zelda's careful mediation kept the peace after Jo's precious hair was chopped short, and she was forced to wear pants and a tunic. Her training began, and conditions quickly surpassed Zelda's influence.

Not long after the training began, Jo attempted to run off, and ended up being stalked by a band of mercenaries hired to kill her. Lord Tellurine is now suspected as being the man behind it. Nækos and a small piece of the strike force found her just in time, and after a fight got her back to the cottage.

Shortly after this incident, another girl appeared at the Arcon's court, asking asylum and whether anyone had seen her father. The last that she knew, he'd been offered some kind of job by an unknown man, promising a large sum of money. The job required that he gather a force of men, find a certain girl, and make sure she was silenced. He was unfortunately never seen again.

Jo was quickly beginning to develop a thing for Nækos, and tensions between she and Serana immediately mounted, then heightened. Nækos was far too dense to see what was going on, until Jo finally just kissed him. Then it occured to him, and he bolted. Leaving Angelo in charge of the girls' training, he grabbed a few blades, minor provisions, and disappeared.

After Nækos' disappearance, the situation between the girls quickly deteriorated, climaxing in Serana's decision to also leave. Angelo gave Jo a good talking-to, and together they set off to find Serana. They found her, and brought her back, after a few fights and more than one close call with encroaching soldiers of Muu. What happened in the kingdom after their return I'm still a little foggy on; it was very confusing, especially with the amount I had to absorb at once when I could check back only once every month or so. A man called George Washington appeared for a little, and together with Bayer Hunter raised quite a scene. After a prolonged struggle, they eventually faded away.

About two months after his disappearance, Nækos returned to the kingdom to find everything different.

From this point, things started happening extremely quickly. His cottage had become something of a command center, inhabited full-time by Jo. Kicking everybody out in a fury, he told Serana to stay, and explained his past to her - and why he believed she was the one for him. He did not realize that both Angelo and Jo had lingered, and eavesdropped. They were not even quite done with their conversation, however, when things began. A messenger appeared at the cottage, bringing word that Arcon had been attacked and nearly assassinated where he was encamped with the army at the edges of the kingdom. Zelda was for some reason locked in her chambers and screaming her head off. Nobody ever figured out quite why. Arcon recovered, but knew the perpetrator: His long-lost evil brother, Zarcon. He was back. After a night of running around madly with everybody else, trying to figure out what was happening, Nækos returned to his cottage for a little sleep on the living room floor.

The next morning he woke to find a stranger at his doorstep, nearly dead from wounds. It was the day of the second royal ball, which he was to attend with Serana. He treated the stranger, whose name he learned to be Blade. He also was found to be a Talruum, one of the race from Nækos' past, masters with a sabre.

The ball started nicely enough, with only a few fights breaking out between rather confusing characters. Then things went sour. Meekal, the daft prince of Muu, bungled a love spell he was trying to put on his dear Moonitic, and ended up casting a hate spell. This caused her to try to usurp the throne, always a good way to kill a party. Most of everybody spent the evening racing about indoors and out, trying to get ahold of the slippery scribe-turned-usurper, and getting hurt in the process. Then things started getting really really confusing, so I decided to bow out. A lot more happened, but you'll have to ask somebody who knows.

It was eventually discovered that Blade had found Nækos in all the turmoil, with an important request. News had come from Nova Zemblar (the main city in the area the Talruum inhabited) that the humans were banding together with the Talruum rogues, trying to wipe them all out. Nækos' help was requested as he was the only one who could go between all parties. Nækos found Serana, and asked her to come with him, which she agreed to. After a few days' traveling the three (Blade, Nækos, and Serana) found themselves in a seaside city, where Angelo caught up to them as they waited for a way across the water. Once they crossed, they (four of them now) kept heading on, only a few days away from Nova Zemblar. This is where I left them.

Meanwhile - Something happened right after the ball, I'm not sure exactly what. There was a huge fight in the dungeons of the castle, resulting eventually in a collapse. Moonitic and Arcon were trapped together for some time, and the newly arrived Lochinvar, old friend of the royal couple, was seriously injured. Jo nursed him back to health, and a romance began to blossom.

Then something else happened, and it ended up with Jo and Moonitic being kidnapped (again) by Tellurine and Zarcon, climaxing with a fight between the brothers at the edge of a cliff. Both went over, Zarcon dead. Moonitic then jumped. Willow the pregnant scorceress, meanwhile was having a magic duel with her long-lost father, and ended up killing him with a boot knife. Once the fighting was pretty much over, Zelda returned with Latenight to the kingdom to address the people. Jo and the lady Rosaline and Lochinvar went down the cliff to the river below to search for bodies, retrieving only Zarcon, with Arcon's sword still in him. Arcon, we find out, was washed out to sea on a piece of a thatched wall, and has been adrift several days now, currently just barely surviving a storm. Zelda is at home, having just addressed the leaders of the kingdom on Arcon's likely death. And Jo and Lochinvar are by the river making out while Rosaline sleeps back at the camp.


"Quick" lowdown. Hehe.

Alright, here's how it works. Very simple rules: Keep it nice. Keep any complaints to PMs, and any posts that violate the rules (are vulgar, tasteless, unnecessary or unwanted) are removed by Zelda and Moon, our *fair* moderators.

You jump in wherever you want. I personally liked Steve's entrance when he joined the best. He just started hiking to Arconia, and when he stopped for the evening just outside the city, Moon and Zelda came to greet him. He came in, and ended up as bartender at The Bitter End, the local pub. You can enter however you like, or throw yourself into a storyline. Zelda right now is pretty much passive. The two main storylines currently active are Jo, Lochinvar, and Rosaline searching for bodies, and Nækos, Serana, Blade, and Angelo on their way to Nova Zemblar. If you want, you can have a character from the Nova Zemblar area, who joins on with our "merry" band. We'll return to Arconia eventually. If you want to do this, email or PM me and I'll give you the Top Secret plot I have planned.

Anything else?

[Iwant2bafencer]

Yay! New. .person! We're always looking for new people. I think now more than ever is a good time for people to join. Loch check your pm's I just sent one, and am about to write another. ScaramoucheIf you dont like what the queen recomended in her pm to you (No your majesty that was'nt meant as an insult.) Then pm me, I've got a few ideas.
Lady Rosaline
Head of the Arconian Military (and for now A.S.S. So I was told I think Loch might be in charge now though.)

[Lord Tellurine]

One thing to note:

Most people write for just one character. Occassionally, people will write for another character that is on the board, or introduce a non-board character that they write for, using them in a few posts.

For whatever reason, not only do I write for my board name, but I write for a multitude of other non-board name characters.

Characters I'm writing for or have written for:

Lord Tellurine - My board name, as it were.

Meekal the Daft - First mentioned by Moonitic in an early post. I "ressurected him" as a surprise for her, but found him fun to write for and I continue to do so.

Oddeldoodle - Not-so-great Wizard currently on holiday. Nothing like writing for a wizard who can't get a spell right.

Brother Emmanuel - I found very early posts mentioning this character and I brought him back finding him fun to write for in his bombastic meddling.

Kliff Fauldergraft - (Deceased) Old friend of Meekal's. I used him as "Straight man" for Meekal, but since that was all he was good for, he was expendable.

Wooden Bob - Another briefly mentioned character from Moonitic. I started writing for him when pairing him with Meekal made for major laughs.

Dr. Julius Abernathy - Originally a minor character to be used after the dungeon collaspe, but when I introduced that he was an inventor also, I couldn't pass up the chance to write for a character who builds crazy contraptions.

Harold Wesley - Young boy who works in castle along with his mother (Gladys) and father. (not named yet) I am interested in writing a Arconia storyline from the perspective of a young boy. Perhaps I'll throw in some other young Arconians. (There's already a young man named Anton who works in the stable that was introduced by another writer.)

I've also "borrowed" other people's character for a post or two. As long as you stay true to their character and you don't do anything they would object to (It might be nice to PM them before using their character) there shouldn't be any problem.

There's great people on this board and great writers. You'll have a good time.

[Swordsman]

Yes!! Go Wooden Bob!!

[its_me_mango]

i feel great!
it's my fault entirely that i did not accept the position as queen. i apologize profusely to the crown, to the court.
BUT!~ i think i didn't accept because i was really busy swordfighting.

[its_me_mango]

i'm sorry guys, i used to love writing my stories with you, but i have no time now, so what i can write is very very sloppy and only fits into a limited context, you'll have to work around it -
hey la and good bye for now.

[Swordsman]

Mango, Mango, Mango. I really wonder sometimes...

[Moonitic]

Scaramouche (awesome movie!), welcome to the board. We need some new blood.

First off, let me say that no one has the right to edit anyone else's posts. If an offensive post is written, the offender is warned once by the moderator(s), then will have future offensive posts deleted. Craig is working on a pop up style board that will give us the FULL low-down of the guidelines, but here is a basic overview:

Courtesy is a must. If there is a problem, keep it in PMs (private messages). If you have a complaint, take it to the moderators or Craig.

Flaming, harassment, insults, attacks on anyone for whatever reason...no matter what it is...are NOT allowed. Some people feel that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want...Sorry, guidelines do apply here (as well as on the main board). The guidelines apply to everyone, & we try to catch as much as possible.

This board is for creative writing. It's also for fun. No one will be judged according to their spelling or writing abilities. All that we ask is that the members respect one another. If you feel uncomfortable with a situation or are confused, ask. If someone says, "Please don't interrupt," have the decency to stay out of it. This will also be covered in the guidelines that Craig will be posting soon. We've adapted some that we've found on other writing related & role playing sites.

Oh yeah, I attended the ball with David Boreanaz, NOT Antonio. David's my one & only fantasy man. We left early, before the murder of Lady Legerto.

[DamedEscrime]

Hi!
You really, no matter what a few say, don't have to be afraid to write with us. I personally am a teacher, but I'm "off duty" on this board. That's why writing here is fun for novice writers. There are no letter grades. Sure, we may give some constructive critisim on occasion, but we also accept it too. And my grammar and spelling can be just as bad as anyone elses.
This is really a good place to try your wings so to speak. and who knows, you may be able to use some of this for an assignment at some point.
So, find a place to slip yourself in at. I'm sure you could even help search for Arcon if Sir Lochinvar accepts a stranger into the ranks.(He is in command after all.)
Just have fun and use that imagination.

[three_hundred_fifty_five]

The quick lowdown is possible.
First, you have to visualize it.
Then, you execute it.
So, here it is.

A bunch of fantasy medieval characters in a fantasy kingdom called Arconia. It's a cross between "The Lord of the Rings" and the movie "Six Pack" starring Kenny Rogers.

[Zelda]

Sword,
EXCELLENT SUMMARY MY FRIEND!
Zelda

[Iwant2bafencer]

Yes I must say well done indeed. Although reading it brings tow kind of one question to mind.
Where is Lady Jane, and Prince James? James was back, but he hasn't written since. . the ball, and Lady Jane simply disapeared not long after 'Search for the Sword.' Just wondering, because both of them were really good writters. Also I've had ideas for Lady Jane.

Carpe Diem

I'm not even really sure WHO they are, let alone where. One of the things I missed while moving/camping/living in an empty house.

Here it is, ressurected for you, Auteur. The offer at the end still stands.

Ye can become a pirate...That's always fun. After all, a group of rescuers are about to set sail for a "high seas" adventure soon.

Oh yeah, once again...my date to the first ball was Sir David of Boreanaz, not Antonio Banderas. I'll keep repeating that, you know.

Bump again for newcomers...
