Awesome! I was so surprised to see that one of the words I submitted was used! The page is amazing - I love the charachter sketches! They are so good! I really look forward to seeing how Lumine, Khaos, and Fable are drawn!

The sketches have been inspiring me, too! I've been writing the story in parts, not all at once, and for some of the parts, I've had the privilege of seeing and having in front of me some of Emily's finished artwork. So this is a network of creativity: your ideas in the character threads and Fantasy Dictionary have inspired the story and some artwork. Parts of the written story have helped some of the artwork to develop. The artwork, in turn, is helping the story along. Knowing who the characters are has focused some of the later ideas posted on Crowd-Sorcery. So it's a big wheel. It's really fascinating and exciting how different people's talents and ideas go into a project and "feed" one another!

I am so excited! The fabled Tarunisus has made its world debut!!!!!! Because it's in the Sneak Preview, does that mean it will make an appearance in the story? I would be so thrilled if it was!

WHOA, I totally missed the fact that the sneak preview 3 came out so I was reading my mag to find that OMIGOSH SHADOW GOT IN. WOW. This is so cool. Thank you so much!!
Fellow Crowd Sorcerers... Keep us posted on your characters and stories! They were all so amazing; I can't wait to see what adventures they get into. :33 I am going to start a story/series/trilogy on Denali (and possibly Shadow?) for NaNoWriMo possibly and I'll try to post it here!
KEEP UP THE AMAZING FANTASTIC WORK EVERYONE!!!! <3

This is just a note of clarification, because the question keeps coming up. We are celebrating all the wonderful characters and Fantasy Dictionary words that everyone has sent in. They are fantastic, and as I've said before, I know stories -- GREAT stories -- could be written about every one of your ideas! But no, there is no particular connection between characters and words featured in the Sneak Previews and those that will appear in the Crowd-Sorcery story. Some might, but most won't, simply because there are so many wonderful ideas here, and only a relative few can fit into a coherent story. The ones featured in Sneak Previews are selected by the editors and administrators, independently of the words I'm selecting for inclusion in the story. But being featured here in the Sneak Previews and in the magazine is a fantastic thing, too -- yes, a world debut!
I'm thinking of King Arthur's marvelous Round Table at Camelot -- does everyone know the legends of King Arthur? What made that Round Table so miraculous was that everyone who sat around it -- all the knights and the King himself -- were at equal distance from the people across from them. There was no head or foot to the table. Everyone had a position of equal honor. No King had held his meetings around such a table before. That's what our Crowd-Sorcery is like, in an important way. ALL the ideas you've developed are equally important. Like the knights, ALL your characters can go out into the world on quests of their own, and do their own deeds in their unique stories! Isn't that a striking thought?

That is kind of cool. May I say, Fred D, that your metaphors are fantabulous?
And if the Tarunisus never makes his way into Fable/Lumine/Khaos's story, I'm at least glad that it could be featured in the preview!

Thank you, Everinne!
The Tarunisus is fantabulous, too! I really like the sound of its name!

I got the October issue a day or two ago and I love it! I was browsing through this page and saw sesf and my name and danced around randomly when I saw this. It really brought my mood up a ton :D Thanks!

Hi, Moss! It's really nice to read your reaction to the October issue -- thanks for telling us! I know how you feel. As a writer, I can tell you that it's always a joyous thrill every time you see a book or magazine published that has your own work in it. No matter how old you get, you dance around at those moments. That's one of the things I like best about Crowd-Sorcery -- it gives a lot more people the chance to do that dance!

So I saw that my character was in the magazine. Does this mean I have a chance of my character getting picked for the book? Or did they already pick a sidekick?
Yes, the sidekick has already been picked. In the September and October magazines, we're just showing a selection of all the other great characters that were submitted.
