Maggie O'Shaughnessy was born in Belfast, Ireland, into a working class family. At the time of her birth, her mother had been working at the local biscuit factory and her father owned the corner pub called The Four Winds. Growing up, Maggie had always enjoyed helping her father out in the pub after school and on weekends. Now, since her father’s retirement, she runs it herself. Maggie loves all the colourful characters that frequent her pub, each with a different tale to tell of the old days in Belfast and how much easier life is for the young ones of today. Occasionally she has a bit of strife with the younger customers in the pub, mainly those brought up on the wrong side of the tracks and having no manners or respect towards others, so she always keeps her old daddy’s shotgun handy…..just to keep them in line ;)

Note: Maggie should win a place in the contest because if she doesn't, she's liable to get mad and shoot you with daddy's shotgun lol :P

, not entering the contest but wanted to dress up a bit just for you

whenever it changes lol

Whoot! This is fun! :D Thank you! I will try to participate o: Can we sMail you our stories? o:

Background Story This is the story of Aileen McGee. She was born in a humble and cozy Irish farm around the year 1107 A.C. There she lived with her mother, her father, and five younger siblings (three brothers and two sisters). At the age of twenty-two, Aileen started working with her father, who was a woodcutter, in a nearby forest. It was in that forest where she found it. Precious. Pure. Magical. And since that moment, Aileen knew her fate was going to be different. That that was just the beginning.

The Story It was a normal day, like any other. Aileen was collecting some wood trunks for her father, when she noticed a strange light coming from the ground. It seemed weak at first, but when she removed the dirt that covered it, a strong and incandescent gleam blinded Aileen for a moment. There it was. Precious. Pure. Magical. A gem. A green gem.

Aileen was astonished and hypnotized by it’s beauty. She couldn’t resist the temptation and took the gem. But when she did, the magical jewel started glowing even more and more, and finally dispelled on her hand. She didn’t understand what had happened. She felt strange and confused. Anyhow, Aileen ignored it and continued with her job.

The night was approaching. Aileen and her father were on their way home when she heard a tiny voice coming from behind. - Wait! Please, no. Don’t leave! - said the tiny voice. Aileen turned around, but no one was there. - The gem! The green gem! - shouted the tiny voice. Aileen’s face paled. - Go ahead, father. I’ll catch you up in some minutes! - she said. - No problem, dear! - replied her dad. She turned around once again and asked with fear: - Who are you? Where are you hiding? What do you want? - Down here! - said the tiny voice. There it was. A little and fluffy red squirrel. - Aaaah! How are you doing that?! Animals can’t speak! - shouted Aileen. - Well, we actually can, but not everyone can hear us. - But… why can I then? - The green gem gave you the power to do so. The green gem chose The Savior. You! - exclaimed the red squirrel with enthusiasm. - What? How? Me?! There must be a mistake. - No, I saw it. All the forest did. You are the one. Come, follow me. I’ll tell you on the way. - said the squirrel, smiling to Aileen.

Aileen turned around once again and saw her father going home. She didn’t want to leave her family behind; but she knew on the inside that she had to do it. That she was The Savior. - My name is Spike, nice to meet you! - said the little creature, shaking hands with the girl. - I'm Aileen - said with a smile.

It's been more than eight months since Aileen left her home. Her family was terribly worried and sad about it. They searched for hours, days, weeks, months. But when hope was about to fade away, a letter arrived.

Dear family, I'm sorry for leaving home. I really didn't expect this to happen. I just wanted to say that I love and miss you all very much. I don't know when I will return, or if I will. But I am very well, so don't worry. Everyone is very friendly here. I will try to send as much letters as possible; but for now, I don't promise anything. If you see an owl or hawk near the farm, they are probably my messengers. I have to leave now, I don't have much time.

Aileen ~ ♣

This is not the end of the story; no. This is just the beginning.

(I hope you like it, Brinny! Thank you very much again! bearhug Let me know if you have any questions or don't understand something; excuse my English XD)

Outfit Not Found Isobel Fleming a 20 year old accordion player and singer from Stonehaven, Scotland. She came from a musical family and picked up her first instrument at the age of 3. At 16 she joined a band that toured all of Europe doing traditional music. Since then Isobel has been in several different bands doing several different styles of music. Her latest band, Heartsease, is working steadily and has a big following online doing a punk/traditional fusion with an energetic live show. Isobel, herself, is a klutz so her dancing on stage tends to lead to bumps and cuts. It is a rare sighting of Heartsease to see Isobel without a bandage. Some of their fans have started wearing them as fashion statements.

Awesome contest! I'm busy traveling so HA - making might not make it but we shall see.

Treasure at the end of the rainbow

Outfit Not Found

Cullen was a farmer's son, he worked all day in his father's field and when the sun went down joined his pa for a pint in the local pub.

Now Cullen was a mighty fine lad, but he wasn't the most pleasant to look at. his teeth were a bit crooked, his face covered in freckles and his hair always managed to look like a rat's nest. his grandma always told him it don't matter though, so girls actually liked freckles and found crooked teeth charming in a way.

But the years went by and Cullen had no luck finding a bride. one day after the rain he saw a rainbow in the sky and remembered what his old granny used to say "at the end of the rainbow is were the wee folk keep their pot of gold"

With a pot of gold, he'd be rich, even richer then Mister Browne the mayor! he could buy more land for his Pa, clothes for ma and... maybe, maybe find himself a bride.

Cullen set off running trying to get to end of the rainbow before it disappeared, faster and faster and finally there he was! at the end of the rainbow!

except, there was no gold at the end of the rainbow, there was a girl with hair like fire and that shone like emeralds, all around her little butterflies fluttered and it looked like she was talking to them "now that's really rude of you! I didn't ask to be this way. take me back!" the butterflies fluttered around in response "Do you really think they won't notice a thing like...." the girl met Cullen's eyes and stopped mid-sentence.

Cullen smiled at the lovely girl and said "errr... hello lass, it's not safe for you to be so deep in the forest"

the girl took a minute to compose herself then answered slowly "and why not? I am free to do as a please am I not!"

Cullen :- "The forest is were the little folk live, you best be leaving before they find you miss"

The girl looked at Cullen then at the butterflies that have now settled on the flowers around them, as if listening to the conversation. Making up her mind she looked Cullen in the eye and said "Alright, My name is Maeve and let me warn you right now that although you see me as human I am actually a faerie, it seems my folk have exalt me because I wasn't born pretty enough to be a proper faerie..."

Cullen's eyes widened "not pretty! you are the most beautiful woman I've seen! there is none in town that can ever compare!"

Maeve blushed at the complement "thank you, I like your freckles" and as the butterflies fluttered urging her to leave she took Cullen's hand. a few days latter they were wed, Maeve being a faerie remained beautiful and radiant so long as her husband's heart was full of love for her which was to say, till the end of their days.

awesome... forgot that the survival infection was still there XD

I'm just sitting here and giggling at what people think Irish and Scottish people look like. I can tell you, no one I've met here would wear any of this. Except for possibly 's and 's. (that doesn't mean I won't participate, though)

EDIT: Not trying to step on any feelings here, don't get me wrong. It's just that, living in Belfast as I am, Irish people look just like Americans/Brits/etc. I'm more amused than anything, looking at what people come up with. And yes, I get you are putting on "traditional" or "fancy-dress" items. I'll leave now.
