Orders, Faoii! Listen up!
Another warrior joined our army, today! Faoii-Claire is the 2nd new sword to join our ranks since the contest’s end, and I am honored to introduce her to the fight.
I am concerned at our stagnation, though, faoii. We charged into the Geek and Sundry Fantasy Contest with our battle cries piercing the air and our fantoii blazing with glory and determination. We didn’t make it to the top 3 in that contest, but we did not roll over silently and let it slip us by, either. We clawed our way to the leaderboards and during those few months people knew us. They knew our army, our weapons, and our heart. They rode that crimson tide of battle and watched us storm the contest’s hill. We took a spot in the leaderboards after starting nearly a month late. We proved to everyone that we are warriors. That we do not fade quietly into the background. That we are willing to fight for this.
Now, people are beginning to forget us. The word faoii does not mean Warrior to those who hear it-- it’s only a jumbled mixture of too many vowels. We must remind them who we are. Re-ignite the flame that will have every vanilla human wondering what a faoii is, what we can do, and how they can be part of our army. The contest is lost, yes, but the war is not over. We need to remind people that we are here, and our story is coming. That The Last Faoii will be a real thing. And when that day comes and this book is at last in print, we will charge into the world screaming our battle cries just as we did that first, wonderful day when we launched onto the Geek and Sundry field.
Every person that has read The Last Faoii in its entirety so far has asked about how it could be made into a movie. I have never heard of literary people wanting to see their favorite book make it to the big screen (because we’ve all seen how badly that can turn out). I wish I had a better answer, but all I know is that Inkshares works with UTA (the United Talent Agency-- one of the largest talent agencies in the world) to set up deals and exchange properties. I, of course, don’t have any idea on how to make that happen-- but the people at Inkshares do. However, why would they want to try to make connections for The Last Faoii when even our army has forgotten the cry? We need to remind them and everyone that The Last Faoii is coming. WE are coming. And our story will be heard.
Shields up, faoii. Remind the world who we are. A single post, tweet, picture, word, hell, send blade-blessed carrier pigeons if that’s what it takes-- but do not let the world forget us before we even have a chance to become real. Our fight does not end here.
That’s all, faoii. Dismissed.
