Crafting Poetry One Syllable at a Time

Teagan is writing a new story! Join in and share your fairy name! ❤️😂
This is your chance to become a character in a new story! Or rather have a character with your fantastical pseudonym.
It began as a bit of fun on Facebook with one of those silly find-your-whatever name things. It was one of many “What’s Your Fairy Name?” graphics. Cute, I thought, But too cute. I posted my wish for a less frilly fairy name, and vowed to make my own game.

Now if I can finish setting up everyone’s names and links, and the blogging part, I might actually be able to write something for next weekend.
Hugs.

Colleen, I would love for you to do that!
However, I can’t accept any more “characters.” There are already 24.
I didn’t expect so much enthusiasm. I will be closing comments on the post after the west coast has had time to view.
So as long as you are okay with adding a note that all the character slots are filled…
Let me know and I’ll email you bio information tomorrow.
More hugs either way.
