Yay! Welcome to my official W.I.T.C.H. based fanfic story, " The Royal Guardian " discussion thread, another pretty successful W.I.T.C.H. story of mine.

Here is where you can discuss the different chapters, the W.I.T.C.H. charries, its slight similarity inspirations to Meg Cabot's "The Princess Diaries" story, and/or aspects to the story itself that's posted here! *Dances* ^_~

This fic's almost a year old, and it has such an overwhelming response and fanbase! ^_~ And since quite a few people have (and will) keep asking me SO many questions about the story that I can't honestly answer just yet or all in my story as I post it (or else it'll get deleted), I thought HERE you can get it all out! ^_~

So, please! Feel free to read said fic, leave a review for it, and then come back here to be like, "It sucked! I think she should've done this instead!" or "No, way! It rocked! That one scene where they were like . . ." in further detail and stuff ^_^

* SO, ONLY POST IN HERE IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO HONESTLY DISCUSS WITH OTHERS WHO'VE READ MY FIC. THANX! *

Since a LOT of you read this story, I would LOVE it and appreciate it eternally if I could receive a bit of assistance on the National Anthem for Marsily.

Obviously, you would have had to have been reading my story to understand.

I could do it, myself, but I'd rather not. I have enough on my plate as it is besides this story. Plus, it'd be really neat to have "fans" contribute and put in their voices into the story by helping with a (REALLY) good and appropriate anthem. :)

So, if interested, please leave a post here saying that you are, and once you have something written (if you do) or need help, please PM or e-mail me!

Thanks! :)

I guess a good way to go is to take an existing anthem and fit your own words in there. Perhaps something jaunty like France or Italy? Or maybe Flower of Scotland - change the title to Flower of Marsily and write some Will-esque lyrics.

Failing that, you can always use God Save The Queen. Dull as ditchwater (unless is being sung by thousands of sports fans at a once), but it has a royal theme to it.

Those are the thoughts right off the top of my head. I'll see if I can give it some more thought through the day.

"God save our gracious Queen

Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen:

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us:

God save the Queen.

O Lord, our God, arise,

Scatter thine enemies,

And make them fall:

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On thee our hopes we fix:

God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,

On her be pleased to pour;

Long may she reign:

May she defend our laws,

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice

God save the Queen."

Okay, well, let me list a few known things about Marsily (that I've established thus far, anyway):

* It's obviously a proud, united country

* Profusely acknowledges "equal opportunity" orientations (regardless of whether or not every citizen agrees with it)

* Doves are its animal symbol to represent its liberation from a super oppressed past/history

....There's more, but I can't think on it right now. But worse comes to worse, we can make references from the chapter (I think it was 15) that had Will reading all about the country and about it.

"Oh great Kingdom of Marsily..."

Or is that too corny?? ^^;;;;;

In which case, since you haven't, you don't have to help me if you don't wish.

Anyway, that's a pretty good line, Raven. If/when more is added, I'll try to incorporate that somewhere, although the specification of "red hair" might be demeaning or disrespectful, rather, to the rest of the rulers before Will. ^_^'

Anyhow, for the life of me I still can't think of a good anthem, myself. I've been busy writing purposefully crappy (or just plain ol' crappy for me, since I haven't written serious or seriously good poetry in years) poetry for a future chapter, since Will's doing a poetry unit in her English now. And doing that has been hair-pulling for me. LoL

And I think to make a National Anthem, I think we need to know a bit about Marsily's Geography first.

But there's still time for all that anyway, cuz *(SPOILER)* it isn't yet Thanksgiving for Will, anyway, so yeah. :)

But as for the poem, fire away! I've written one already that Caleb wrote. And for a poem Will wrote it's an old one she'd written as Caleb as the inspiration before she "got over" him, but I want to use one of the songs I'd sent to you before as the poem instead. But for a new poem you can write it if you'd like. I'll handle her I Am poem. Those I love writing.

Write about her struggles with being a princess or something. You can make it slightly humorous and kinda "sucky" if you want, so her teacher'll make comments that'll illustrate she needs to improve or be more expressive in her poetry, or even that she, herself, has suddenly lost HER drive (which, duh, would be because she's hurt that Caleb doesn't want her). It'll be a great "growth" set up for the story. ^_^

And as for the poem, that's a toughy, but I'll try.

Check it out. It's not exactly done yet, but It is a start. I'm going to continue to work on this. Let me know if you have any additions to it.

Also, I did try and not have a song in my head as I wrote this, however I have "My Country Tis of Thee" stuck in my head. Also, I'm semi-writting this off the fact that most Anthems are poems made into songs.

------------------------------------------------

Happy is our country Marsily,

Brought back from the edge of Tyranny.

Peace and Prosperity now hold fast,

Where sorrow and pain once stood last.

-

Feelings of pain and treachery,

Cast aside by our monarchy.

Trust and and faith alone,

Rightfully restored by the heir to the Throne.

-

Light shines upon these lands,

Blues skies and open seas at hand.

Mountains and forrests can be seen,

Surrounding our country Marsily.
