PLEASE READ BELOW

Before you go ahead and read the plot line, I'd like to mention I am looking for 2 writers for the Brother Knight's of Avalon(male characters) who can write in 3rd person. Also, I put lot's of thought into my plot and brushing up on my folklore (I'm a fearie nerd), so I'd also like the authors in question to be sure they'd like to join and write our trio's journey until the end :)

- "Sylvan" meaning a place of trees. In fearie folk lore it is also used to describe the spirits of the forest. I'm calling the story this because the trio will be travelling through woods alot and the phrase will come up nearer to the end of my plot :)

BTW, this plot is pretty damn long, so it's like a story by itself ;D So sit tight and I hope you like it :) Although, I'd like to discuss with my writing partners with whom Fion will fall for ;)

(this story is set in Medieval England in the Isle of Skye which resides in Scottish Seas. Some of the things in this story are made up by myself and some are from original fearie folk lore :] )

A pair of young boys are destined to become the Knights of Avalon. But since the Dark Fey Century turned 300 years ago, there was never a pair of boys destined to be such knights ever again, and there would never be a Gwragedd Annwn (Welsh water fairy, sometimes associated with the Lady of the Lake) bird into the Fearie Royalty blood line again.

Until a mysterious fault in the blood line of Fearie Bund. A girl was born. A girl who sported golden blonde hair, fair skin and the dark, pond green-coloured eyes of a Gwragedd Annwn. And thus, claims of being the Knights of Avalon started appearing every where!

But of course, the Knights of Avalon were destined to be younger than the Banphrionsa(princess) Fion so she was not to fall in love with either of them. The Banphrionsa is also born with her fiancé.

So, eighteen years later when the Banphrionsa is finally considered worthy of setting out on her quest, she is introduced to her Knights with which she will vanquish the Dark Fey, just like her ancestors had all those years ago, and make sure that they cannot rise once and for all!
(In the medieval times, she would have been considered to be a women much, much earlier in her life. So I'm aware that that's not accurate but I want the characters to be over the age of 12 -.- )

These were my basic ideas for the Knights: (I'll leave their looks up to you)


Eldest Brother, Aodh:

17.

Strong, fearless, never strays from his path, passionate, rash and reckless. A fine swordsman.

~~~~~

Youngest Brother, Tadg:

16.

Quieter, calculating, physically weaker than his brother but makes up for it with his brains, tends to think things through thoroughly, calm, but zealous despite his cool demur. A great archer.


(and also Fion's: the Gwragedd Annwn, the Banphrionsa.)

Banphrionsa Fion O'Donoghue

18.

A pretty girl who is constantly dreaming of being strong. She is good with cooking, herbs, singing, swimming and dancing.
She is often referred to by the people of the kingdom as the Princess with the face of a child and body of a women. This is because she sports a younger face but a womans body.
She has long, wavy blonde hair, fair freckled skin, and large pond-green eyes framed by thick, light blonde lashes. She is short, ever-so-slightly chubby but is still nicely slim. She is often seen in white or green attire.

So, with a fair well from Fion's childhood friend and fiancé, Suibhne, (who she treats like a brother, but later on we will find he certainly does not think of Fion like a sister) they head off into the hills.

Along the way they meet many different mythical creatures, fight off one or two beasts and become closer to one another. Then, the younger Brother Knight, Tadg, walks upon Fion bathing in the water, singing her pure songs of love. He finds himself falling deeply in love with Fion, despite the fact he knows it to be taboo!

Little did he know that Aodh was also in love with Fion, although his love was based more upon foundations of lust and "Breaking the Innocents Soul".

They both bump into a Phooka(an Irish goblin) who warns the brothers that if Fion's chastity is taken away from her, she will not be able to defeat the Dark Fey. He explains that to defeat the Dark Fey Fion must give herself up, and to do this, her body needs to be as pure as possible.

They return to find their Banphrionsa unconscious and bruised on the floor with a crazed-looking Suibhne over her with a knife in his hands. He claims that if they cannot stay together in this life, then they will in the next and then proceeds to stab her in the heart. A furious Aodh decapitates the Banphrionsa's fiancé, declaring his love for Fion, telling the head how he was valiant enough to wait for Fion to defeat the Dark Fey. (sadly, Fion was fast asleep when he said his magnificent speech LOL! Poor Aodh!)

And, with the help of Puck, a shapeshifting fearie, they heal her wounds. During the time Aodh and Puck were out hunting for medicinal erbs, Tadg stole a kiss from Fion's lips. He leaves quickly, instantly guilty for his selfish act. Fion was actually awake, and decides that it was just a dream...

With a few more filler chapters, they would finally reach the Dark Fey's Bund via the Sylvans Path (
PHEW! That was fun to plan out. I bet you're wondering why I don't just write this by myself. Well, it's because *coughcough* I'm terrible at writing things on my own, I need to be pushed along with another/other authors help...
Also, I'll probably need authors of decent skill to write such an adventurous plot line =]

Anyways, drop us a comment if you are interested.




PS:
Gwragedd Annwn's are NOT seductive fearies! Although they are beautiful and desirable, they are in no way related to sirens!
In folklore, they are usually portrayed as innocent beautiful being who more often than not, marry off to human males and life long happy lives <3 I just used the basis of them being water fearies, connected it to the Lady of the Lake - 'cause she has the Knight's of Avalon :P

Ah, thanks!


So, since you have so kindly put yourself up for it, you may have first pick. So, who would you like; Tadg or Aodh? (:

Hehe, he is rather pure, is he not?

I'd say nearly as pure as our little Banphrionsa!

Feel free to alter him a little (but please keep his basic personality intact) and write up his appearance :)

Thanks great (:

What is it about the plot that confuses you, and I'll try to expand on it.

Okie Dokie, then (:

As I said to JSimmons feel free to edit Aodh as long as you keep his basic personality (: And create his appearance as well.

Ah, thank you :)

I'll post up the first chapter later tonight :)
