So, here’s what Castle Debacle is: A permanent home for the contests, like The Great Tea Debacle, as well as some of the delightful and serious conversations that appeared around it and because of it.
You didn’t think we’d just let it all vanish after the first Tea Debacle ended, did you? A’course not.
There’s free tea (and beer, Ed) in the comments of this post.

(No one’s here, that means the tea’s for me’s!)

But who gets the beer?
November 30, 2007 at 5:35 pm
You guys can have that. Leave me with my unfermented tea, thanks.
November 30, 2007 at 5:37 pm
Wha?
mmm, beer.
November 30, 2007 at 5:37 pm
It’s home-brewed dark Mexican beer, too.

No, I meant “Wha?” as in “Wha?”

As it – What the heck is this? This, my dear Ferreted Friend, is Castle Debacle. Home of The Contests. Home of The Serious Writerly Talk. Home of . . . Well it’s home.
November 30, 2007 at 5:53 pm
Oh, THAT sort of “Wha?”
What are you “Wha?”ing about?
November 30, 2007 at 5:53 pm
I brought cookies and wiped my feet. Can I come in?
November 30, 2007 at 5:54 pm
Ah, so it’s one more blog place to distract me from writing.
Got it.

Home on derange,
Where the writers and artisans play.
Where seldom is heard,
A constructive word,
And the drinks flow freely all day.

You just lit your Butt In Chair? Ye gads.

The number of pages popping up is making me feel slightly woozy.
O I wish I was in the land of Debacle
Writing there is quite the spectacle
Books away, books away, books away
Writing friends.
In the land of Debacle a blog was born in
Late there on a November morning
Books away, books away, books away
Writing friends.
In the Castle Debacle I’ll take my stand
And write my next book in longhand
Books away, books away, books away
Writing friends.

*applauds and lights Kristine’s BIC*
November 30, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Is it warm in here?
November 30, 2007 at 6:27 pm
She said Bic, not what you said Pete, which was Butt In Chair (BIC) <—See? It’s all caps.
If you’re going to acronymn, acronymn properly. Sheesh! I can’t leave you people alone for a second. Honestly.

Well, if we’re going to be Miss Serious Word Usage Pants, then it would technically be B.I.C. wouldn’t it? so nyah.

It’s raining here. About to have a pot of apricot tea.
“Thrilling” update alert over.
