Keep in mind that I don't always get to do wording for scrolls that I might want to, and sometimes I do wording for people I've never even met just to help out the scribe.  I try to be on top of who is on the pollings and ask the Tyger Clerk to do words for my friends, but even so I don't always know that someone is getting an award sufficiently ahead of time.  Plus, some scribes flee from my texts as "too complicated."  So not getting a text by me doesn't mean you're not worthy - sometimes things just don't work out.

If you really really really want a "Text by Mistress Alys Mackyntoich" production number, this is something you should let lots of people know.  That increases the chance that someone will know to ask the Tyger Clerk or the scribe to get in touch with me.

There are also lots of other people doing excellent work with wording.  I'm just pushy and easily bored  ;-)

And yes, I will be teaching the "Adapting Medieval Legal Documents" class at All Things Scribal.

And you even have the advantage that you can get to work for the same recipient several times, while I can't.
OTOH, lately I wouldn't have time for more scrolls than I'm committed to :)

You have arrived! :-)

This is the ultimate compliment from people. I knew that my art had reached a nice point when people starting saying that they would love to get one of my pieces for a scroll. It is a lovely way of saying "I love your work". :-)

I don't want to arrive! I just want to do my thing over there in the corner and have fun playing with words.

:-P

Sometimes when you do your thing over in the cover and have fun, other people have fun TOO! Bringing joy to others is not a bad things. :-)

I'm teaching the damn classes again at All Things Scribal.

If it is the collin_m I'm thinking of, I hear that they're making him a Baron soon. Shhh! Don't tell anyone.

Yes, and I've already done the wording for his and Marion's scrolls. They are completely awesome and I intend to defend my right to read them in Court against all comers.

You may have to wrestle Ernie.

Oh "Herald Fight!" We been looking for things to fill the afternoon with. I say we build a list just for this. I bet it would have people fighting for a front row seat. Now we just need a format... ant suggestions? :)

I will bring popcorn.

Ernie may have the edge in, shall we say, life experience, but remember that I am professionally trained to sling b.s. and have a degree from Harvard Law School that says so.

I'll win - author's prerogative.

"Hi, Tyger Clerk of the Signet here, how can I help you?"

Alys wordings are wonderful in their own right, and are great for specific styles - much like Toki's and Grimm's Viking verse works great on others, and Aneleda's historic poetry stylings / songs are excellent for other occasions. Sometimes I even go back to my old self, and do my own words like I did for Alysten's Seamstress scroll, or I may filk a bardic friend's own song (like I did for Gav's Troubador scroll, way back when).

While I have my favorite authors, and I've been fortunate enough to receive a handful of scrolls over the years, if I am ever so blessed again to receive another, I would prefer humorous wording. I'm not saying all scrolls should be like this - just any scroll intended for me, if it ever happens again.

Filk is an abomination against God and man, unless done in a period manner.
