And the Winner Is...

Last month, I asked everyone whether they would like this blog to stay just a fantasy blog or expand it into something more, something deeper, something grander, something--okay, don't let me get carried away here!

Well, the overwhelming conclusion is that people want a blog with more than just fantasy (in fact, I think that was the only poll choice that had zero votes!). Thus, I am proud to announce that Of Faerie & Faith will no longer be simply a fantasy blog.

Now, that said, we come to an even more significant question: what shall I name this expanded and (hopefully) wonderful new era of blog-ship? Whether or not I change the blog name, the url will remain the same (siennanorth.blogspot.com). Again, here's a poll to help you decide. Please do add your comments below!

What shall the blog name be?

  1. Oh, tough one. I like the title as it is, and think it can apply even without being exclusively fantasy. All books are a kind of magical escape and adventure.

    Fiction & Faith sounds good too, though.

    1. How true! I love that: "All books are a kind of magical escape and adventure."

      Personally, I'm rather attached to the name, too. Fiction & Faith is the closest different thing I can think of, but personally it sounds a trifle boring. Ah, well--if it works, it works!

  2. I think that "Of Faerie and Faith" has a more fantasy ring to it. Since you're changing the blog to include more, I think a name change would be good. I have no suggestions for you though, sorry. If you can't think of something else, then my second choice would be for you to stick with what you have. It's a pretty cool name anyway.

    (I really like the picture you attached to this post. It made me chuckle.)

    1. Why thank you! I liked that picture too - lots of good, fun, cliche memories in Princess Bride :D

      Yeah, I was thinking that too. It seems strange to change it to a writing blog but keep the fantasy name. Still, that seems to be the general consensus at the moment.

  4. I've been thinking.....If you keep it the same,more people might come to understand there are many Christians that love Whimsy ect.. and that it's ok as long as it keeps away from evil.

    1. Thank you for your thoughts, Denise! I agree, it's very important to proclaim God in various areas of writing, including fantasy.

      Aww, thank you! I love my name too :)

  5. What about of Fiction, Faerie, and Faith? So that it's kind of a mix of all three.

    P.S. I actually came over here because I'm putting together a list of christian teen writers and bloggers and come over to see if I could grab your button. Have you ever thought about making one? It's not hard at all. Just Google Make your Own Blog Button for Blogger.

    1. Hey Sarah, great idea! Hmm...I'll need to think about that. So many choices to make! :)

      Why thank you! I haven't made one, but I should, I guess. I didn't think it would be much in demand, but I suppose I'd better :)
