U know something I've come to realize about Alice Green. I feel like a lot of the reason she can be tough on Bill and overall a tough person is probably because she was always pushing herself when her husband/his dad died and had to raise Bill and the farm all by herself.
Ngl if they ever had an ep with Alice and Bill talking about it and how it affected them long term, that’d be pretty cool.

I did this for the Foxlings earlier and now I do it for the Aludels over here. I wanted to say thank you to everyone that voted for the crossover piece I'm planning on doing once the last chapter for the first act of 'The Wayfarer' is unleashed (It'll be up on May 10th to give everyone a chance to reread the past chapters before hand). You may know the first two, Ernest and Dorian, but the last one, Fairfax, hasn't been introduced just yet. You'll likely will see that one soon, very soon. Now back to the writing mine I go to get the last chapter of the first act done!

Special Collections Erasure Poetry
As a creative writer, it was suggested to me that I might try my hand at erasure poetry using material from Special Collections. No fairy tale nor fiction may be used (darn!), but something informational that may spring forth ideas from its original text into something new. I was a bit hesitant, considering poetry has never been my strong suit, but it was exciting nonetheless and I took to our collection in search of something that would spark inspiration.
After taking my time poking around, the book I came across was Readings in Welsh History by the Welsh-English writer Ernest Percival Rhys (1859-1946), and published in London, New York, and Bombay in 1901 by Longmans, Green, and Co. The volume has seventy-three illustrations, including twenty drawings by British illustrator Lancelot Speed (1860-1931).
It was not something I would normally pick out, considering I have never been much of a history buff. Still, with the task at hand, something about the worn brown-orange book made me curious, so I decided to take a peek. To my surprise it was enticing, as the words already had a melodic charm to them - something I never quite experienced when it came to a history text.
To pull a new meaning from something concrete is a challenge in itself, but the further I dove, the more excited I became. With the already beautifully-flowing words, it was not hard to weave a new creation from its source:
Readings In Welsh History - The Rites of the Druids
To strive,
Wild beasts look upon night
With dread;
Fear grew into
Savage religion.
Groves of oak,
Precious in their eyes;
Revered.
Words of fate by the wind
Its branches gave shelter
For prayer
And magic.
And there you go -- Magic!
-- Elizabeth V., Special Collections Undergraduate Writing Intern
