Wonderful begining
I greatly admire the skill of storytelling that is revealed with the first installment of this story.
My enquiring mind would like to discern wheather the author is aquanted with the current middle ages of the SCA. This story is written with such skill that I would read the rest of it even if there were no TG content to come.
All my hopes,
Sasha
And we have a winner!
Yes, I am a longtime (24 years) member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. I have wanted for some time to write a TG story with an SCA flavor, and when Erin announced this contest the idea for 'Princess of Trimaria' sprang from my muse. I am delighted beyond words that a fellow SCAdian has read the story and enjoyed it.
For those that may not be aware of the SCA, it is a medieval re-creation society. An unofficial byline of the SCA is 'The Middle Ages as it Should Have Been', and that is what I hope to convey with the world of Andarel. The key to understanding the world of Andarel is the word anachronism - 'something or someone that is not in its correct historical or chronological time, esp. a thing or person that belongs to an earlier time'. This is why much of the dialog is more contemporary than would seem proper for the apparent medieval setting.
Thanks so much for your praise, Sasha. I hope you enjoy the future installments just as much!

Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of--but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

Whoa!
This kinda of a long one so it took me awhile to get finished with it. The next chapter will be interesting. Who will wake as whom? Did anyone die? What is going on in the Palace? Great as always Scott! Damn Ocrs! argh!

Fun Fun Fun
This story is great, and it was worth the wait for the tg part. You set it up nicely with great characterization and background.
I didn't even know this story existed until part II appeared. I immediately went looking for part I and now I'm hooked.
I'd add more comments but it's late and I have a job interview tomorrow. Drats.
Thanks! I look forward to reading part II. I hope part III doesn't take as long to write. :)
