Wow, this project took a long time. It's so exciting to see it finally posted.

So, first off, thank yous.

Thank you to anyone who reviewed this; you all are awesome in making this piece come together.

An especially big thank you to DreamwalkerFae does not match any existing user name, the person who reached out and suggested a collaboration on this project. Together, we completed twenty-six entries on some pretty amazing and imaginative creatures if I say so myself.

I hope you enjoy reading this. Welcome to the realm of Fantasy, a world where dragons fly, and magic whispers in every part of the forest, sea, mountain, and sky.

EDIT: Also, seeing as this is probably the last thing I'm writing before 2016, have a Happy New Year! It's been fun!

This was a really neat thing to help write. Thank you Goomy, for coming up with this and letting me collab!

It most certainly has been an awesome year and this was the perfect story to end it with. I can't wait to see what works you'll make in the upcoming year!

I like this, but I feel it'd be more appropriate over at the Wanderers' Library.

It does have a fairy tale vibe that fits with the Library, but it's related to SCP-1762, as an insight to the Fantasy land lost when the dragon box was destroyed. So that's why it's here. :)

Decibelles 31 Dec 2015 20:38

Your writing would definitely fit in home over there <3

I wonder if You are allowed to post it there as well as here

Zyn 01 Jan 2016 06:46

I'd say no, since it seems a little strange to have the same piece in two places. I don't think there are any repeats between the sites; we do have some dual works that link to each other though (one piece on scp wiki, one piece on wanderers' library, both refer to each other), and those are cool.

Metaphysician 31 Dec 2015 19:34

Fantastic! Yes, I believe I saw this when it was still a draft. Well done +1

FaustoV 31 Dec 2015 21:37

I particularly enjoyed the Notepeople, who bear some aspects with SCP-1516.

OZ Ouroboros 04 Jan 2016 08:20

Well, 1516 was fun to read. Glad you liked the Notepeople! They were actually the second idea I came up with after the Bumpkle, after I had doodled humans made of music notes. :)

I spent the whole time wondering what SCP(s) this might be related to. The Uünsen seemed to be about the only one; I'd forgotten about 1762, but that gives me better appreciation for both the article and this tale. Anyway, not all of these entries are equally great, but I particularly like the Door Shards, the Titan, the Sun Stealers and the Monochrome Isle saga.

HotCocoaNerd 01 Jan 2016 00:25

Out of curiosity, which SCP did you think the Uünsen was tied to?

TL333s 05 Jan 2016 00:38

Uhhh

The one that times its movements to eye saccades? It's like a lizard or something? c.c I forget.

This was an amazing read. Thank You for this.

OZ Ouroboros 01 Jan 2016 02:01

You're welcome! Glad you liked it! ^^

So much lovely worldbuilding, in a world that's already been destroyed, no less. You might consider writing a few tales about Fantasy before the war. They might be a bit too tangential to fit here, but they'd be perfect for the Library.

OZ Ouroboros 11 Jan 2016 21:31

Oh, I'm definitely going to be writing a few things about Fantasy. I have a plotline laid out already, but I have some other things I'm working on atm (that, and things like classes, and other real life things X) )

OZ Ouroboros 02 Feb 2016 20:41

Doodling around a bit, so figured I'd post this: here's drawings of the first four creatures of this tale, the Aliphox, the Bumkple, Charm Changers, and Drop-off Dwellers! More to come! (probably)

OZ Ouroboros 27 Apr 2016 22:57

UPDATE: I got some new drawing stuff, so I'll be adding redone/new pictures for all 26 creatures over the next few weeks! Letters A-C are already done and uploaded to the Tale; more coming soon!

Agent MacLeod 28 Apr 2016 03:34

Seconding the sentiment that this would fit in well over at WL, with the caveat that, now that it's here, it should stay here and get as much attention as possible.

OZ Ouroboros 01 Jan 2017 23:07

Happy New Year everybody! And happy one year anniversary for this big friendly collab piece! ^^
