Woodward Fairy Tales

A collection of very short stories... mere scenes, really.  These are not considered a canon part of the Dugerraverse until they appear in some other, longer work.  These are merely the fevered dreams of the author, using familiar faces.

MANY, MANY thanks for compiling these stories into the standard form

Thanks for these Eric. Looking forward to more stories in Dugerrverse.

This was so awesome to read. I shouted out loud when Bispy showed up. Such wonderful characters.  Glad to see you writing

I thought I had posted about these. I know you write what comes to mind, but is there any chance we will hear about the Tiamats Daughter? I know it's some distance into the future But I am curious about any new stuff that might be in that time frame. Of course, it's really any work that involves any kind of fighting or strategy.

You did comment on these, when they were posted to the forum directly.

And what makes you think that the raising of Tiamat's daughter is going to involve "fighting or strategy"?  Dragons in the Dugerraverse aren't known for going around picking fights...

As to whether or not you'll ever read something about Tiamat's daughter... *shrugs*  Don't know.  Depends on if the mood ever strikes to write such a thing.  But for me to write anything canonical about Tiamat's daughter would be pretty difficult, since it takes 50 years to raise a dragon...

Sorry, my thoughts about fighting or strategy weren't mutually exclusive to the birth of Tiamat's daughter. As far as raising of a dragon... well if Bob was any indication of how a young dragon could behave.

Truthfully, a story involving one of the distant lands would be fairly cool. Maybe they could go on their honeymoon there and trouble could arise. Bar fight, gang, potions mistake.

I have been curious as to how you would write the life of Jacob AFTER he is released from being stuck in that prison. Now I know it wouldn't be much from David's side but a short story from Jacob's would be fairly interesting to read.

Duly noted.

Though you specified that these are not canon, it still makes me happy knowing there’s a chance for a epilogue to the story. Even as is, compiled as a book of ramblings, there is no greater joy to see the characters you created be loved in this way. I for one, would hope these will be expanded upon throughout the future. Again, I love the stories and the world you created.
Amazing stories even if just fever dreams, I can’t wait to read them all!

As soon as I saw the title a chapter as "Grace Under Fire", I thought, "Someone's going to get hurt"...

David sighed.

"Please?  If you take over his class, I promise I'll set a date for our wedding..."

"You think I'm going to fall for that?  You've been promising that for six years now.  Angela will probably get married before we do."

Is this just a joke between them? or something happened to Zyla when you were writing this.

Or maybe they have a rotation where after a number of years David divorce one and marries another so that everyone has a shot being Mrs. Stroud? That would be funny xD

Their wedding would be spiritual, not legal.  It's a sign of Emile's reluctance to fully commit, thanks to her past.  "Weddings never seem to work out for me," would be her excuse.
