Yay for those who are playing along, writing, reading, or even just thinking about it! And here we go, spinning our tales of wonder and wander and all those other er words... blunder? Plunder! Thunder, flounder...
Let’s see. If we’re still sort of using the six themes of fantasy from TVtropes, this week would be... dragons, fairies, knights? Not nights, which would be dark, but those knights in shining armor, or even knights unsung and unarmed, but still doing what they can to make the world a better place? Oh, boy, does TVtropes have a bunch of stuff about this? Here, take a look over here at the knight in shining armor

And then poke around a bit, and you’ll know more than you want to about this fairytale motif...
But, as usual, we need to think a bit about an engaging character, where they are trying to go, what gets in the way, and how they respond to and hopefully overcome those problems, conflicts, opposition? We need a hero!
Okay, I’m starting to drift into ear worms and other strangeness, so...
Just remember, we all want to read your story! So get set, and...
Write!
