Sagafic/sagacraft contest’s last weekend

Thank you to everyone who’s entered the sagafic/sagacraft contest so far — I’m loving reading your entries and smile whenever one is posted — they feel like small presents that I get to unwrap. It’s so much fun seeing where the prompts lead you all — mostly to places I didn’t even think of, which is, of course, the point.

There’s one more weekend left for the contest — deadline is midnight Sunday in whatever time zone you’re in. Both fics to 1000 words or so and arts/crafts entries are welcome. I’ll choose two to win copies of Thief Eyes. (My copies arrived this week, so I should be able to get them out to the winners before release day.)

Here are the prompts again — all of them are saga-related (though your entries need not be), and all appear somewhere in Thief Eyes’ text.

– “Three shells in return for my poem.”
– “I have spun twelve ells of wool. You have killed a man. A fine morning’s work for us both.”
– “I already must grieve for my brother. Is it not enough for you that I set a bowl of porridge before his killer?”
– “My father gone, my brother gone, only this price upon my head remains.”
– “Take me abroad with you, for it is not Iceland that I love.”
– “Though I loved him best, I treated him worst.”
