Barrow-Down Dreams

[Folwren]

I had my first real Barrow Downs dream last night. By real, I mean, one that was clearly Barrow Downs and one that I can remember in detail.

In it, I was so excited to re-introduce a certain character in the Scarburg Meadhall role-playing game. I've been reading Fea's posts about Saeryn for two weeks now and am finally writing a post about Saeryn...I have it half finished, and then I get on the Downs, and I check the Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread. Legate of Amon Lanc (don't as me why it was him) had posted there for some reason... I scroll down, and what do I see? A massive post, pages upon pages, wherein he had done my job of researching Saeryn. He had quotes from her, her history, reasons why she would act in such and such away, and other things. He took it completely out of my hands...

I was so angry (sorry Legate) that I nearly began to cry. I hit reply and began to write a post, immediately calling him an 'intruder' and 'thief' and other such names, for stealing the character Fea had given me. In the dream, I decided not to post that post, so I erased it and left.

I woke with an oppressed feeling, thinking that I could no longer write Saeryn because Legate had taken her from me.
