Anne's Fiction Corner

It's time for new fiction! The long-awaited return of our Celtic Scions to the story stream commences with Wild Rovers, starring Seamus McMann with guest appearances by Alaina Bertrand, Auggie MacDonough, Ignatius Rex, Jude Shriver and Luke Honre. It is a tale of dogged determination, gods made flesh and the nagging feeling that something, somewhere, is not quite right about this situation.

There was no contest for the next story this time; Sangria won by a massive landslide, so next up will be some trials and very violent tribulations in Mexico. In the meantime, a new poll will go up momentarily to start the voting over, and, as promised, here are your reminders about what new stories you're voting for!
