Writewraiths in Middle Earth

Silverstripe · 11-27-2002, 11:27 PM

In the land of "Mundane Earth" (that's where we live, folks), there existed a group of fantasy writers known as the Writewraiths, people from all over the world, bonded by their love of writing and of Tolkien. One day as these Writewraiths "met" on the internet to discuss their writing, each of them met with a power, a power that would transport them to their favorite fantasy realm of all time ... Middle Earth!

My Character Description

Name: Katharine Welsh
Age: 16
Occupation: Part-time High School student, full time Writewraith, Tolkienite, and daydreamer. (Afterwards Empress of the Writewraiths in Middle Earth.)
Appearance: chestnut brown hair, hazel eyes, tan skin, 5'4.

Okay, Writewraiths, come on in!

Fred Baggins · 11-27-2002, 11:34 PM

Faith Lowe(pronounced Love)

age: 15

occupation: Student, author, Tolkinite, and Writewraith, and later Advisor to Empress

appearance: Shoulder length blond hair, contacts, wears a ring on her right ring finger, which is a blue topaz stone and Lothlorin leaves(ok, so there grape leaves...I can dream can't I?)

Personality: One word: WILD! specally when tired! When quiet though (Is a rare thing) can be found on computer or staring into space. Loves hobbits.

Silverstripe · 11-27-2002, 11:35 PM

Oh, and another thing, when the Writewraiths go into Middle Earth, they transform into whatever race they want to be! So if you've always wanted to be an elf or hobbit or ent or even hasty orc

-- go for it!

Silverstripe · 11-28-2002, 12:23 AM

ooc: Okay, I'm starting up this RPG!

ic: Faith and I were in computer class together, laughing and chatting about our favorite characters in stories we had written, Belladona and Primrose. We got odd looks from the rest of the class, the non-Writewraiths, but neither of us really cared. Then the computer teacher, Ms. Brant, walked over to us.

"Welsh! Lowe! Be QUIET! Do I have to separate you two?"

We got quiet, but Faith looked at me and grinned, showing that the fun wasn't over.

"Today, we will learn how to use the internet," droned Ms. Brant. I sighed -- I'd been surfing the net for years, and we'd had these lessons at school three times already!

Faith rolled her eyes and scribbled something down, showing it to me. I giggled, then quickly clamped a hand over my mouth.

Fred Baggins · 11-28-2002, 12:33 AM

This was tooo much. I knew how to use the internet. It's not like it's o-so-impossible. I rolled my eyes, and wrote something down, showing it to Kathie. She giggled, but that wasn't the end of it. Glancing up every so often to make sure Ms. Brat wasn't looking, I got on to Entmoot, and posted in one of my RPG's which involves our characters. "Writewraiths," Kathie whispered, "See if anyone's saying anything there." I nodded, and went over to Writewraiths as fast as the dinosaur would let me. I finally got there and Ms. Brat saw us. <Great> I thought,<Now she'll mad...> Not that that ever stoped me before...

Silverstripe · 11-28-2002, 12:49 AM

Faith looked up defiantly at Ms. Brant and typed in a reply to the last message as fast as she could, hitting the "submit reply" button before Ms. Brant had time to reach us. All at once, there was a blinding flash of light. Ms. Brant screamed, and I felt the sensation of being lifted up into the air. I looked over at Faith, who seemed to be enjoying herself immensely. Trust Faith to enjoy something bad! As I was lifted higher and higher, I closed my eyes, waiting to fall and dreading it more and more.

And then the fall began. I screamed, and I heard Faith, still beside me, do the same. I hurtled faster and faster towards the ground. I braced myself for impact ... but suddenly the fall slowed nearly to a stop, and I landed lightly on the ground. I opened my eyes, and realized that I was not at Walker High School anymore.

Lubyla · 11-28-2002, 12:50 AM

ooc:If you dont mind, I would like to join. Charactor:
name: Starlight Adams
age:14; Is a girl; likes to write poetry. Is the new student from New Zeland. ok, here it goes:

ic:* I walked down the hall passing rooms. 13...14...15...there it was, room 16, my new 3rd period class. I sighed heavily and walked in.*

M.B.: Are you our new student?

*I only nodded.*

Good, well, you may sit down next to, hum, how about...Faith. Faith, raise your hand. What was your name dear?

Starlight.*I was one of the quiet kind of people. I walked over and sat next to the girll who raised her hand, and pulled out a leather bound notebook, inside were my free lance pieces, and poems.as Faith and the girl sitting next to her were lifted into the air, my notebook was too. Of coarse I had to go after it. Holding on, it seemed that where ever the were going, so was I.*

Fred Baggins · 11-28-2002, 01:02 AM

The first thing I noticed upon touching ground was my feet. They where hidious! Not only that but I thought I had remembered to where my shoes this time...
The second thing was Kathie. Last I cheacked I was two inches taller than her, and now she's at least a foot and a half taller than me! Talk about growh spurts... She looked at me in amazement and shock.
The third thing I noticed was that the new girl was also taller than me! And they both had pointy ears!
The Fourth thing I noticed was we wern't in Walker High anymore...

Lubyla · 11-28-2002, 01:04 AM

*I hugged my notebook to my chest.* Talk about a bad first day*I sat down* Here I am, not knowing where I am, in some forest thing, whith strangers!!!

Silverstripe · 11-28-2002, 01:12 AM

I looked around and noticed a girl nearly two feet shorter than I was, staring at me in shock. She looked like ... a hobbit?! No, more than that, she looked like my best friend Faith! And the new girl, the exchange student from New Zealand, was also with us, but she had pointy ears!

Whoa, what if that IS Faith ... where are we?! I thought.

Being the inquisitive and rather silly type I am, I had to find out. I turned to the short girl, knelt beside her, and said "Are...are you Faith?"

Fred Baggins · 11-28-2002, 01:13 AM

I looked at her. "O pardon me, I havn't introduced myself. I'm Faith Lowe, spelled L-o-w-e. A lot of people call me Frad, or Fan though..." I bent down and picked up a poem she dropped and read it. "This looks familar." I showed it up to Kathie, and if she where a little less shocked I think she would have agreed. Then i panicked. "WHERE"S MY BACK PACK! MY NOTEBOOK!" Starlight pointed to my back, and I reached back feeling the backpack and calming down. "Now the the matter at hand, where are we and why are my feet hairy, and how can you grow so fast!" I turned to Kathie* Of course you silly goose, who else would I be. And stand up, your making me uncomfortable squating like that. You two should see yourselves! You look like elves from down here!

Lubyla · 11-28-2002, 01:17 AM

I'm Starlight, but most people call me star, or by my RPG charactor, Lubyla. I just move from New Zeland. Where are we?*A bird flew down and looked at her. Starlight is afraid of birds.*

Silverstripe · 11-28-2002, 01:19 AM

"Me?! An elf?" I said, giggling a little. Then a thought occurred to me. If Faith has changed and Starlight has changed too, then maybe...I became more serious, and carefully touched my ears. They felt like they'd become pointy! I yelped and jumped back.

Fred Baggins · 11-28-2002, 01:22 AM

"Lubyla! I knew your poem looked familar!" I handed the poem back to her "You're a Writewraith! You'll know me better as Fred Baggins, and her as Silverstripe then." Then a strange looking man approched us. "Why is everyone taller than me all of a sudden?!"

Lubyla · 11-28-2002, 01:23 AM

*seeing the creature, i did as my first instinct told me to. I reached behind my back and pulled out a bow and a brightly coloured arrow.* Who are you?*I said to the dwarf, bow aimed at him* where did this bow come from?

Silverstripe · 11-28-2002, 01:26 AM

I stared at Starlight and the dwarf, then quickly checked to see if I...yes, I did. Like Lubyla/Starlight, I also had a bow!

Fred Baggins · 11-28-2002, 01:29 AM

I saw the two of them with bows, and looked around for my own weapon "If you two have weapons then I do to!" I had none. "Darn guess no one trusts me with a weapon."

Lubyla · 11-28-2002, 01:29 AM

*the bird hobbled over.* That bird looks like Andodulin, you know, the bird from my RPGs. This is all too strange. I am sorry sir, for you see, I am lost.

Silverstripe · 11-28-2002, 01:34 AM

I heard Starlight's words and nodded in agreement. And as for Faith, she is DEFINITELY the type no one would trust with a weapon!
"Um...yeah, we're lost...can you tell us where we are, sir?"

Fred Baggins · 11-28-2002, 01:36 AM

Um...Star, we're all a little lost...though from my hairy feet I think I can guess at where we are...Ya, know, that bird looks like how I would imagine you RPG bird! O...wait...ya said that already...Hey! If i'm a hobbit, which I must be, then I DO have a weapon!
