Board Update
by ubiquitous
Even with the fever of SMACKDOWN sweeping across the board, the board was still super busy.
In Tortall, couples were the centre of discussion, fitting well with the SMACKDOWN theme. Topics ranged from Strange Pairings to Couples You Wish Had Happened, spiralling off from the ideas in Changing Canon. Things took a turn for the mindboggling with Characters You Wish Had Met Each Other, and contemplations of the Rittevon Family Tree and how just Josiane fitted in. Competition entered with Tortall’s Most Eligible Bachelor, before changing for the Decathlon spirit in consideration of the Tortall Olympics. Raoul’s prospects of retiring were also discussed, as well as Kel’s Romances and Least Favourite Characters.
In Emelan, the idea of Returning to or Staying in Namorn was discussed, as well as a stream of favourites, ranging from Favourite Quotes to Favourite Students. Slash in Emelan was avidly discussed, as well as What type of magic would you have, and the idea of Briar/Tris. Emelan also took a trip to the mindboggling side in discussing If the Circle Switched Magics, before also taking a turn with Hottest Dedicate and The Emelan Olympics.
In Provost’s Dog, the choice was made between Kora or Aniki, before moving on to discuss Rosto’s heir, and keeping in the spirit of SMACKDOWN, discussing Shipping Clary/Mattes. Pounce’s disappearance also warranted discussion, as well as Joining the Dogs and Names, before also joining in Decathlon discussion with The PD Olympics.
Up and Coming was full of excitement, as it became Mastiff – and spoiler - central. Speculation abounded in Speculation on the New Mastiff Info on the new spoilers revealed in New Information on Mastiff. Excitement continued for the Mastiff Cover, and anticipation started for the Tortall Companion Book.
Writer’s Circle was full of SMACKDOWN activity, with SMACKDOWN Mode, before prepping for Decathlon with Decathlon Writing Challenges. Things took a turn for the who, what and why in discussing Why do you write and When do you write, and a bit of how in discussing Software. Super-Awesome Reviews was also motivating for writers, as well as the creation of The Genie Thread and The Plot-Bunny Adoption Centre.
