...my plot sounds incredibly generic compared to your ideas: a good troll overcoming adversity—I like it.

Talking Re: The Troll Factor

I think it's a great idea kye. When you think about it there is usually a bad guy/girl and a good one in most stories, so why not a nice Troll? I agree about keeping some of the unpleasant aspects of the Troll. Being exiled is a great idea but not sure about him disagreeing with the barbaric ways of the others. Perhaps he could walk through a 'spell boundry' or something similar which might change his ways a little, then he would be exiled for being different.
There are certainly many ways to do it though. I've moved my little Troll a bit closer, perhaps that will inspire me!!! Wish you lots of luck in that project.


cyborg - Troll mutton eating monsters, hiding under the bridge! Don't you think it's time for a change! You've been reading to many fairy tales dear!!

...I try to tell as many people as I can about the troll plot to take over the world. But no one listens. I can see them through special sunglasses that I received from the anti-troll underground. They are all around us. please believe me.

You sure you haven't been at the blackberry brandy? You sound rather pessimistic again dear!

So who belong to this anti-troll underground?
Special sunglasses - do you were them at night as well? Perhaps that's what Corey Hart was singing about a few years ago!

If you got some special sunglasses for us, we would be able to see them and then we would believe you! (An optomistic statement).

...they had a whole box of sunglasses. We met in a back alley off Misfire Street in Central Tara, Ireland on 2 July 1999.

I have to go all the way to Ireland to get the sunglasses, so that I can see the revolutionary Tolls ? Which God of the Tuathan de Dannan was handing them out by the way ?

Re: The Troll Factor

Thank you loads for the support Rosemary like your ideas too!

I used to have a little Troll doll too!
With a big smile and a shock of purple hair he was great, I called him Ron... my little dog ate him though, he didnt like my Troll at all.
Bad Fido....

...they only hand them out at the annual Trolls' Day celebration—so you can see the trolls as proof you did not get swindled. It's freaky—they're everywhere. Without the glasses, they look like regular people. The Mcguinness Pub serves chunky mutton stew, which is always a hit. Old Patrick Mcguinness once told me...(caught myself weaving a yarn)

So not only to I have to go to Ireland - it has to be on the annual Troll's Day!
Shame about the mutton stew, would have preferred a seafood dinner myself.
I daresay that you look like a regular person, so what happens if I get these glasses?
'Oh no', say Rosey with a shudder. 'YOU could be a Troll !!'
