Bellisserian Voice: Did I Mention I Like Maps?
From Avalon: Throughout the Bellisseria 5th Anniversary Celebration, there is a rotating art exhibit called Art in the Park, and the artist and topic changes each week. I was so thrilled when I found out this week’s theme is Maps! So. Many. Maps! “Look, Galdor,” I said. “Maps!” “Oh, no.” He dug in with both feet. Talons are sharp, y’all. “Don’t we have enough maps already, at home?” “Sorry;…

The Preparations
From Gwyneth: I did not hold a lottery this year. Instead, I offered Ari, who’s been holding the office of Chief Librarian in Lira’s absence, a place with the Shining Throng on our adventure to this year’s Great Faire. I was almost surprised when she said yes. We did have a short conversation about her reasons for saying yes. ‘It’s not as if I think I’m going to somehow find Lira, Your…

Bellisserian Voice: Deco With An Echo!
From Avalon: Galdor’s eyes aren’t green any more. I noticed when I woke up, the morning after the Crab Crawl. I noticed because he was perched on my bedside table, staring at me, which was frankly a bit disturbing, but I did let him in. “Um, your eyes changed colour,” I said. Because stating the obvious is a talent, apparently. “It’s because I have a home now,” explained the bird. Well, that…

Bellisserian Voice: So Tired!
From Avalon: Folks, I’m going to take the night off. Galdor and I did the Crab Crawl this afternoon, and we had a great time. We also got lost, had many unfortunate (and hilarious!) Quacking Incidents, laughed a lot, and got lost a couple more times. but by the time we were done, we’d seen nine community regions and some beautiful scenery, even though we were mostly concentrating on the blue…

Bellisserian Voice: The 5th Anniversary Event is Open! Plus, Animals!
Author’s Note: These posts are going to lag behind by a day, sometimes two— so there’s no coverage of the opening ceremony in this blog post. I hope you will enjoy the story anyway! From Avalon: As promised, Galdor met me not long after I made my way to the event site; must have been mid-morning? I admit I slept in, because yesterday was full-on! Have Bird, Will Travel? Here we are at the…

Bellisserian Voice: It's here! (almost)
From Avalon: I’ve gotten so used to the Bellisseria Fifth Anniversary site, it feels funny to be here when there are lots of folk, but at the same time, it’s great to see so many out and enjoying the space, mopping up gifts, and soaking in all the beautiful spaces the Event Committee have created. The event officially opens tomorrow, 2 April, and I am chuffed! Where to go this morning? I had a…

Bellisserian Voice: First Look at the Bellisseria 5th Anniversary Event Site!
From Avalon: The Bellisseria Fifth Anniversary Event is a movable feast! … by which I mean, I got an ice cream (a magical ice cream!), grabbed this lawn chair (it’s FREE from Warm Animations!), dragged it down to the edge of the event grounds where the Big Sign is, and now I’m having myself a feast! Hey, I’m easily amused! Seriously, though: there is a lot to see here, and I’m only going to…

Bellisserian Voice: New Opportunities at the Fifth Anniversary Celebration!
From Avalon: It turns out that having a working partnership with the publisher and editor of the formerly most scandalous Fae gossip sheet in the known universe is not a bad thing at all! Cherish popped round the other day and asked if I’d like to come and have coffee with her. I hadn’t been paid in a while, so it seemed only natural. We sat on her terrace, as folks do, and had a nice cup of…

The Mists
From Gwyneth: There is a stirring in the æther. Can you feel it? There is a song upon the wind. Do you hear? There is a rising poetry of Transformation. The wind. The song. The verse. It’s almost here. My favourite time of the year is nearly upon us. Just a little more than three weeks away now, the Shining Throng will make their temporary home in the Fairelands. If I reach out with my Fae…

A Change of Scenery
From Gwyneth: I know, I know. I said I was going to show you that beautiful Fantasy Treehouse. But then, I don’t know. I was finishing up the garden, and one of my neighbours came by to see how it was going. Honestly, they got my hackles up immediately, because when I told them where I ordinarily live and that this was my home away from home, they said, ‘Well, I’d think that as a Queen of…

Jungle Vines & Geodes
From Gwyneth: Sometimes, I discover things that surprise me. Even if they’re not outwardly magical, the things that come together in our magical Realms always bring with them a touch of the mystic. Today, I turned around and found myself in what looked to be a ruined arena. You might call it a ruin because there are some stones missing here and there, and tattered curtains line the edges, but I…

Passing In The Night
From Gwyneth: I braved the weather in Nu Jyorck to visit the White Witch Shop, because I needed some herb cuttings and a little potion refill. Calendula, who runs that shop, does the most amazing things with flower oils; she’s at a much higher level than I am with potion-making, so I visit her when I need a little refill of Glamour-Aide. It comes in a gorgeous vial and fits around my neck, which…

Night Garden
From Gwyneth: Yes, Nathaniel and I ended our protracted visit to the Isle of Callisto, not far behind midwinter. We spent enough time in Awenia to get our bearings, refamiliarise ourselves with the contents of our Residence (and we did not overlook the liquor cabinet, but that is another story and shall be told another time). All in all, I am pleased with the work that has been done in our…

Small Wonders
From Friðrós: You’d think, as small a Realm as Awenia is, that at some point you’d have seen everything—or at least I once thought that. The fact is, even when I’m not creating things in Her Fae Majesty’s absence, I come across things that surprise and delight me all the time. So, not all stories are bit and full of action. In the great Awenian scheme of things, I am a small cog in a slightly…

If it's Friday, This Can't Still Be Belgium...
From Lira: I have no idea where Belgium is, or if I am in fact there. But I landed in another nice room today. I’ve been thinking so hard about getting in to the Academy in Callisto, but I haven’t gotten around to writing that second letter yet. I really must do. I think I can remember who I’m meant to send it to. Down side: no bathtub! I woke up in this gorgeous canopy bed. For a moment I…

FaeWatch: Cherish Gelato at 40!
From Avalon, FaeWatch’s new Bellisserian Explorer! So, I was hanging out at my place, listening to some music and singing to my plants, when someone knocked on my door. Now, I was new to Fairystone Park, and it’s not like I’d told anybody I’d moved (I don’t have that many friends, anyway), so I answered the door with some trepidation. Turns out, one of my neighbours is none other than well…
