[Wyewood] Fix the barons writers block contest. (also being held on FB) Part 1 of 2

[robert Trinitie TCh. via Wyewood]

Greetings,

Here is the contest I spoke of last week.  This will consist of two emails.  The first, is the ceremonies for our first level baronial awards. The second will be, what I have written so far.  Feel free to re-post at least to BaO, Madrone or Dragonslaire.

Again, we are looking for something that fits with the spirit, style and "whimsy" of the first level awards. You can work with what I have so far below. Or, you can take another path.

You can post you replies to the Wyewood list, to me or to the Fix the Barons writers block contest event on FB.
Judging will likely be by populace favorite.

The prizes are: Either: A cheesecake promissory or two cookie promissories from me. Or maybe something else if someone wants to donate something better. I'm open.


The following three ceremonies are for our first level Martial, A&S and Service awards. As you can tell, I and the contestants have a hard act to follow.


The names of our 2nd level awards are the Order of the Winged Knife. The Order of the Winged Spoon and The Order of the Winged Fork (with period english spellings


TTFN


Baron Robert.
