Ah, but it's a Monarchy, not a Democracy

  • Random Quote: Grandiose: Large and impressive in size, scope, or extent: august, baronial, grand, imposing, lordly, magnific, magnificent, majestic, noble, princely, regal, royal, splendid, stately, sublime, superb. See BIG, GOOD. 2. Characterized by an exaggerated show of dignity or self-importance: hoity-toity, pompous, pretentious, puffed-up, puffy, self-important" -- Roget's Thesaurus

The People Have Spoken.

AND

If this were a democratic blog, the name of the award would be simple: The Rothwell Award For Short Fiction . But, barring an invading force wrestling me from my Post Of Power, I get to decide, and I just don't think that's ostentatious enough.

The name of the award is the

Turner Calefaciens Rothwell Award
for Literary Excellence.

Turner--> because I'm still trying to get this guy1  to pimp for me and I like the name because it sounds pompous without being hard to pronounce. I'd name it Crusie but have given up entirely on the woman.

Calefaciens --> in honor of the socks (according to D. Mahan, Calefaciens means "to make warm.") So much for the easy to pronounce criterion.

Okay, enough about the name, Enter the dang contest here. Write a very short (55 words at most) piece of fiction or an essay.  Win socks, win Honor for Your Name, win a book -- or just head over to read some good warm stuff.

-- The Queen

1  I dunno though. According to this source  Genuine is the definitive blog whore. . . and so what does that mean about me wanting him to pimp this contest for me?  (The Queen points out that that's supposed to be a rhetorical question.)

Kate,

You still have time to change it back to "The Rothwell Award For Short Fiction"

"Turner Calefaciens Rothwell Award for Literary Excellence" might be a little large to put on a button or image to be added to the journal of the winner.

What are your thoughts?

Now to trim that down to Turner Award
for Literary Excellence.

Acronym = TALE

I think that's perfect.

Genuine? LIke they say about Zaphod Beeblebrox, Genuine's just some guy. Unlike Zaphod, Genuine does not have two heads. I think.

His Real Life last name is Turner. . . .
