The Dreamer: A War To Fight short story by BlueEcoFreak
Inspired by Issue #12!
Exert: “The uniform is completely ridiculous you tell yourself, and your fingers can’t help but find their way to the too tight collar as you tug nervously, impatiently. You hate how tidy your hair is, how proper. Hate how bright the room is, and how stuffy it is. You can’t breathe.
This well dressed person standing where you are isn’t you, and it won’t ever be you. But you’re stuck – trapped in this tiny, spotless room, pretending to be something you’re not:
A leader.” [Read the whole story here!]
Good Intentions short story by Brent
Inspired by Issue #12 Page 7!
Exert: Nathan looked at Tallmadge, and for the first time since they had made the hilltop Benjamin truly saw his friend. Instead of the good-hearted teacher, Tallmadge saw a man who looked for all the world as though every good and decent belief had been ripped from him, rearranged, and then shoved back inside with no thought given to their previous arrangement. It was almost enough to make Tallmadge fall back and clutch his heart, and indeed, were it not for the fact that he was talking to a man clearly in need of help, he would have done. The joke he had been about to make about there being no problems in war died on his lips and was instead replaced with a meek, “Pythias….Nathan….what’s happened?” [Read the whole story here!]

man things are getting tough. now we are to thirteen year old alan!
I refuse to make a mature, well worded comment right now, instead I’m going with……….OMG Joseph’s coming!!!!!!!!!!! *glomp off screen*
And about FanArtPalooza, my entry is almost ready….well, at the first one ;D
Hehehe, some major glomp fest is about to ensue, no doubt about it.
Alright, stand aside, ladies! No glomping for the doctor before it’s time….
*privately* Yes…..soon he will be all mine…..
Ahem… The girls get first dibs Brent! You can have whats left of Joseph when we’re done hugging him.
Yes! That is right!!!! :D
Naw. I know a lot of guys with a Patriotic man-crush on Doctor Warren. I’m sure there’s enough to go around…!
But the girls who cried over him because he died in LK get frist hugs. It’ll help us to not cry when he leaves >;)
My head already hurts from all the glomping!
He comes! HE COMES! :D
Friday will be here before you know it!
Oh, great. ANOTHER Revolution Heartthrob! Like we don’t have enough already! But no doubt all you fangirls, and apparently some fanguys, will just say “There can NEVER be enough of them!” lol
ha ha, well… just like Nathan Hale, it was known about Dr. Warren that “the ladies deemed him handsome.”
@Lora: lol I believe it… <3
@David: There can never be enough of them when they keep, um, "leaving the series".
Joseph was dead before he arrived. Don’t get too attached!
…Too late. I’ve been attached since I was five :D
That’s about right, Bea. Spaz on him for me. About time. Ohhhh Alannn!!!! And it’s so sad. Knowlton and Nathan are both gone now and she has no idea…where is everyone indeed. :(
Dude! In the VI Alan looks uncannily like Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet…his expression I mean. lol
Ha ha I love the character designs in that film so I take that as a high complement. Billy Bones is one if my all time favorite Disney designs!
Maybe, but Silver and Scroop are still my faves for that one.
*imagines what roles joseph gordon-levitt could play in a Dreamer movie*
Silver was the first Hand-drawn and CGI Hybrid character wasn’t he? Treasure Planet is one of my favorite Disney films, so I’m glad you knew what I was saying was a compliment. lol
I actually like that movie way more than I liked the actual Treasure Island book. Which is mental, I know. lol
JGL could play…why the heck do I imagine him playing Tallmadge?
Ha ha that’s actually who I thought of!!
No Caera, “mental” is me seeing “A Muppet Christmas Carol”, tracking the book down, and then being surprised it didn’t have Kermit and Fozzie and the rest in it. Most…..embarassing….literary moment…..ever (and that’s from someone who was reading books ten years above his level at four years old. Naaaaarf….?)
JGL as Tallmadge then.
lol And I LOVE the Muppet Christmas Carol. It’s my favorite version. I watch it every year. I just watched it on Saturday actually…
Narf? Sea Nymph? :D
Narf? Snarf? R we talking Thundercats now???
A Narf is a sea nymph at least in one meaning. I’m half Narf so I would know. lol
Actually, I was just channeling Pinky from “Pinky and The Brain”. I don’t know where this other stuff came from…
Oh ok. I never saw that show. Didn’t get the channel.
“where is everyone?” Well, Fred’s burying his dad, and Nathan’s in over his head. I think you’re on your own, Bea :(
Though I love her remark “After that horrible letter you wrote me?! You’d better wake up!” lol.
VI–Uh oh, Alan. Whatchya do now? Aunt Mary does not look pleased with you at all.
Aunt Mary: “Alan Warren! Have you been eating my tea cozies again?”
Alan: “But…but…there were big juicy strawberries embroidered on the one! And the other had lace! Lots of nice, white, frothy lace…”
Aunt Mary: “Boy, when I told you to get more fiber in your diet, that is not what I meant!”
Darn you. You stole the line I was going to quote! :P “After that horrible letter…” Yes, Alan!! Awaken to face justice of the adoring lady!! That sounded a lot less frightening than I intended…
HAHAH! Love that scenario. xD
Maybe Alan’s asked Joseph to get him into the army and Aunt Mary isn’t happy with his impending departure. *shrugs* I wish I’d paid more attention in history class, maybe that would give clues. I’m far too much like Bea in that department.
lol I love how all three of us reacted the exact same way. XD
Possible–the French and Indian War didn’t end until 1763–but unlikely. Joseph wasn’t involved with the military at that time, at least, not as far as I can tell. He was still studying medicine and getting ready to get married (I think).
Yup. Apprenticing with Dr. Lloyd in Boston. His marriage isn’t on his radar yet though. He’s 21- just like Nathan! As for Alan, 13 is a very special age for an 18th century lad.
Lucky 13…
YUS! Totally what I was saying!
Oh, and I noticed my entry has my dA name on it–I’m Taviannah :)
For the record, your pillow is cuddle/snuggle worthy
You all need ONE internet alias so I can keep track of you!
sorry :) don’t think I can change the names now though…
I think I’m passing on Fan Art Pollooza this year. :( I’m just too busy with Riley and everything. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and tell everyone I say ‘Hi!’
Btw–great twist with this page!
“Where is everyone?”… so sad….
continue onward with this amazingness Lora! :D
but did anyone else have a small chuckle after Bea’s “YOU’D BETTER WAKE UP AFTER THAT HORRIBLE LETTER YOU WROTE ME?!?!”
Please Alan wake from that horrible letter you wrote Bea
Yes, Alan, Wake up so Bea can give you H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS for writing that horrible letter to her! lol
Oh man…..so sad how little Bea knows about what’s going on….and so funny-good how accurate we were with her calling for help.
Speaking of funny, that line needs to be on something. Seriously.
the VI…..yeah, that’s heading for trouble.
INCENTIVE CAPTION!!!
MotherAunt Mary: “Alan Warren! Are you out eavesdropping again?”Alan: “I ain’t been dropping eaves, I was just trimming the grass and I heard some raised voices, that’s all!”
Aunt Mary: “What did you hear? Speak!”
Alan:”Nuh-nothing important! I mean, there was something about a ring and a dark lord and the end of the world, but….”
Mary: “….”
Alan: “….”
Joseph: “….Okay, John was right. Get rid of him.”
*likelikelike*
Aunt Mary: “Perhaps not…I’ve thought of a better use for you.”
muahahahhahah!
someone should do a dreamer/LOTR crossover. :)
We so need a like button on this forum!
though I would have pegged Fred more as the Sam of the group…
Well for the present-past, sure, but for here…..Mary just looks too much like gandalf, y’know?
past-past – Alan’s youth
present-past – the war
past-present – the late 1990s, Bea’s youth
present-present – high school
“LIKE”
*brain short circuits*
O.O *breaks like button from hiting it so much*
LOL!! *like!!!* That is PERFECT! I love it I love it!! rofl
Hmmmm, now, Twilight or Harry Potter for the next one…..hmmmmm….
Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! And PLEASE make Nathan JASPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Ben T can be Emmett, Alan can be Edward, Knowlton could pass for Charlie, and we could have Bea as Bella, and Liz for Rosalie, and Yevette as Alice, and best of all…..Ben C as Jacob Black!) yes, I’m just a little in love with the series.
When I was watching Breakin Dawn I was thinking about how great “Charlie” would be as Knowlton!
omg yes!!!! that would be sosososososo cool! though, I will admit, the only other actors from Twi I’d even consider for a dream Dreamer cast are Jackson Rathbone, Liz Raser, and Peter Finchili
…….okay suddenly i’m very scared. *quivers*
Don’t worry, Kyle Chandler’s still my #1 pick!
Scared of Lora….or me? >:3
Actually Halfie, of you……or more specifically, of your apparent Twilight mania. I mean, I liked the movies well enough (heh….”I’m hotter than you.”) while still passing on the books, but that was just…….wow.
………never get me REALLY started on HP then. All I will say is, I have read PoA 14 times, and can quote a few pages. Not /lines/ /PAGES/. XD
*longinhale* Harry James Potter, born July 31, 1980 to James and Lily, commonly known as the boy who lived, defeated Tom Marvolo Riddle with the Elder Wand in April of 1998, married Ginevra Weasley, father to James Sirius (2004), Albus Severus (2006), and Lily Luna (2007), 11 inches, holly and phoenix feather, currently head auror
Have I made my point? :) ( Although in fairness, I did have to correct the birthday.)
…*clears throat* My name is Meredith Black. When I was a toddler my parents were tortured and killed by my aunt, Bellatrix Lestrange. After that I went to live in an orphanage near the border to Scotland. When I was eight I recivied a visis from the headmasters of Drumstrang and Hogwarts, and the Headmisstress of Bouxbatons. They had all accepted me to their respective schools and since I had no, uh, /availible/ gaurdian at the time they arranged for me to spend one year at each of their schools and at the age of elevn I would choose which I would attend for my full education. I chose Hogwarts. Because of family ties that could and would leave me…./unwelcome/ to most other students, I went by my mothers maiden name, Potter. The night of the Sorting for my class made me a wreak, because I knew I would most likely meet my cousin, Harry…..
To make this sorter than it could be, lets just say my imagination went rampid and the character is the tie between the Potter and Black families. Her dad was another one of the burn marks on the family tree, and her mom was James’s sister. She’s a double animagus able to transform into both a cheetah and a black cat with a cresant moon white spot on its forehead, and is currently working on turning into a white dove. Though she’s stuck at the wings and isn’t sure if she really wants to go futher. The book her character is really adapted for is PoA as she knows the truth about Sirius and has been under the care of Remus since she started school. Shes in Griffindor, is a Seer ten times better than Twelany and plans to be a teacher at Hogwarts after NEWTs. Need I say more?
My name is Daniel Washington. I’m a muggle-born and an only child, which makes me stand out in two ways in my family. My father claims we’re descendants of the same family that produced George Washington for the states, but I have my doubts. I first got my letter in June of 2002, not long after I managed to fall fifty feet off a tree outside my parent’s house without breaking a bone…..or falling, for that matter (thank merlin for accidental splinchless apparition). I got my wand — eleven and three-quarter, rowan and dragon heartstring — and was sorted into Hufflepuff. Over time I foun an affinity for magical creatures, and even found a dragon for a patronus (welsh green, if you wondered). After graduation I saw the world for a year and — to my shame — was seduced into a cult led by a murder crazed maniac masquerading as a demon. I eventually broke free, returned home, and took a job as a dragon-keeper at Gringotts.
…….call it even?
lol I wasnt even going into the magical cretures! but if u insist…..The centaurs tolerate me, the Threstles love me, and I have a pet one named Opal, my Patornus is a panther, oh and the reason Remus is my garudian is….while at Drumstrang, Greyback paid a visit and decided to bite me. It wasn’t the full moon, but I now grow a tail, ears, and my eyes turn gold every night that isn’t a new moon. So night time is fun for me.
Ohhhhh, like Hermione with that one polyjuice potion that Mrs. Norris was part of. Fun! :-)
Of course, given that I have tattoos charmed to burn whenever i attack someone in a…..”angry” fashion (blame my time in that cult….or at least the detox from it), i probably shouldn’t laugh.
…no not like Hermione. I don’t turn completely fuzzy. just the tail and ears. and for the record, I told her not to trust anything that came from Pansy, or anyone who had anything to do with Draco
Looks like Bea’s on the rampage….or at least she’s going to be when Alan wakes up.
I feel so bad for everyone right now! The colonel’s dead, Fred’s probably at the funeral and who knows where poor Nathan is. And then there’s Alan, lying on the floor all pasty and pale looking. But at least we have a more cheerful flashback to look forward to! At least, I hope it’s cheerful….Mary Warren doesn’t have the happiest expression on her face in the VI.
Mary looks stressed out? You didn’t think Alan was going to be an easy child with an intro like that, did you?
So, so sad. :’( But Alan + fireflies… GORGEOUS. Wallpaper, please?
Poor Bea. Where is everybody indeed.
I’m finally getting used to Alan being dead… but it’s still very sad. I don’t think Bea understands how deep she’s gone. Hopefully she gains a very valuable new understanding through all of it.
I almost started crying, then I saw Bea’s line: “You better wake up after that horrible letter you wrote me!” Ha ha ha ha ha!
‘Ohhhh! Do we get to see Joseph? I want to glomp him first! He’s mine girls! I’ll probably take him out for a nice dinner and maybe take him to Colonial Williamsburg with me. After that, he is free. :D Hey, I have a lot of questions to ask him, and a dinner would solve that problem. I can’t wait to see him!!!!
He’s more apt to take your invite I’d you take him to the Green Dragon on Boston!
But what about the Green Dragon in Bywater?
:D hee hee hee…
Naawww, take him to the Warren Tavern :D
Excellent suggestion!!
Well it would certainly give /him/ some questions to ask…you know, keep him talking for a long long long time
Hey, not a bad idea! I’ll just have to do that! : )
lol, drag Nathan too and we could make it a double date!
Yeah!! Oh boy, we will talk their ear off! :D
….And never give the boys back…. XD
Before I comment on today’s page,I have to mention that my last thought before I nodded of last night was, “Oooo, tomorrow’s Wednesday. That means a new Dreamer update!”
It’s the little things.
Anyhoo…. First off, I still don’t think Alan’s dead. I can only hope that Bea has the wherewithal and knowledge of the human body to check for a pulse. I think, if he was dead, she’d be freaking out in a slightly different way. But that’s just my take.
Also, of course, she’d be screaming for the people she knows. She doesn’t know about Knowlton or Nathan, though honestly it does seem pretty weird that nobody else is checking up on Alan. But then for all we know, it could literally be five minutes since he coughed blood, vomited, and passed out. Dream sequences can skew the space-time continuum.
Lastly…. Alan’s still sexy as heck when he’s on death’s door.
Bea might not be the brightest bulb but I’m guessing she’s smart enough to check for a pulse. In fact looks like she might be doing that in panel 2…
Ahahaha! ‘horrible letter….!’ Ah, Bea…awesome looking page, I especially like the last panel. Yay to fireflies! (and yay for no mosquitos! lol)
Gah! So many flashbacks! I’m torn…I want to see the flashbacks, but I want Alan to not be dead and for Bea to be happy again…Torture of the sweetest sort Lora…
omg Aunt Mary does not look impressed in the VI. I can’t wait for the next update. I agree with Bea too, after that letter Alan wrote he better be okay!
Love that “wake up so I can kill you” line! And re. the VI: looks like Alan finally did trade John for a longrifle. Hope he kept the receipt…
Hmmmm, ’tis a flashback issue, eh? You’re going to keep us in suspense for as long as possible, aren’t you.
Meanie!
Well, Lora IS the “Mistress of Suspense”, after all! lol
…….which means this issue is gonna turn into an episode of Lost. Just as we’re making progress….. scene/time change!
*LIKE* :D
Yeah, I thought this all seemed kind of familiar. Thanks for clearing it up!
