[alexseanchai]

EEEEEEEEE

thank you!

[siderea]

Cosigned.

That was simply the best.

And, conuly, I was delighted how you snookered us into reading it. Well done!

[conuly]

What snookered? I said "read it" and you did!

Oh. Did you think it wasn't a story story but an article?

[the_siobhan]

Well that's what I thought at first.

[conuly]

:D

I legit didn't mean to trick anybody. It honestly didn't even occur to me until this very thread.

Still, it was a good read, wasn't it?

[the_siobhan]

It was! I'm embarrassed to admit how long it took me to realize.

[greghousesgf]

then what happened??!!

[alexseanchai]

then I started a list of stuff to nominate for Yuletide this year

She raised the egg.

[steorra]

Thank you.

[spikethemuffin]

Awww...

[the_siobhan]

Oh that was delightful.

[isis]

Aw, this was lovely, thanks for sharing.

[mama_kestrel]

How wonderful! And now I want to know what hatches....

[alexseanchai]

(a dragon, of course)

[steorra]

I think it's a bird. Because of the feather and because of the bird on the coin. You know how in our world coins traditionally show the monarch on one side? I think the bird is the monarch.

[alexseanchai]

ohhh good point

[conuly]

A kestrel naturally, or maybe a merlin :)

[dine]

omg,this is the Best Thing Evar!!!

[wpadmirer]

What a lovely story!

[rmc28]

That was very cute, I love it, definitely goes on The List for Hugo noms next year :-)

[muninnhuginn]

Oh, yes, indeed.

[muninnhuginn]

Wasn't it just so sweet. I kind of want it to be a prequel to one of my favourite poems: Brian Patten's "A Small Dragon" (https://childrens.poetryarchive.org/poem/a-small-dragon/).

[conuly]

Thank you for the poem.

[readerjane]

That was amazing.

[cellio]

I, too, thought you meant story like in news not story like in fiction. That was delightful!

[conuly]

Were it news, I'd hope that our library readers would win, or at least come to a draw.

[silveradept]

It's a lovely story. Although I was rooting a touch for whomever was raiding the library.
