Queen's Own

Children of Velgarth

The Official Queen's Own Fanzine

(Revised 4/27/05)

It has long been a dream of Queen's Own to archive all of the material that has been generated by the members who work so hard on their personae. The Children of Velgarth is our attempt to do that.

Each issue of the personae book contains:

Entry titles look like this:

Healer Adept Moonstar of the Eagle Clan
Bondbird: Kearie (Marsh Hawk/Northern Harrier)
Brought to us by Kendra Renaud,
healermoon@gmail.com, of California, USA.
Accepted by Queen's Own in March 1996.

or

Herald-Mage Adept Danya Winterborn
Gifts: Mindspeech, Fetching, Empathy, Mage Gift
Chosen by Terrill
Brought to us by Linda A. Malcor,
Legend@malcor.com, of California, USA
Accepted by Queen's Own in March 1996, July 1997 (Hedge Wizard), November 1998 (Journeyman), June 2000 (Master).

These titles are then followed by all persona sketches, stories, drawings, maps, costume designs, photos and the like that have been submitted to earn each persona. (Things such as photocopies of CPR cards are not included.)

Submission Information:

This fanzine accepts:

This fanzine does not contain any subsequent stories, poetry or artwork. Please send these to the other QO-approved fanzines. Be sure to send a release for each work of fiction to High Flight at

Mercedes Lackey

Persona sketches, poems and artwork do not require release forms. Personae presented in story-form do. In other words, if you are simply talking about your persona, that's fine. But if you are telling a story about your persona, then you need to file a release.

If you want, you may submit personae materials via e-mail when possible. Send persona sketches, stories, poems and other written text in either MS Word or .txt/ASCII format. You can scan pictures, costume designs, and so forth, and send them either as .jpgs or .gifs. If you do not have a scanner, you can still submit your text by e-mail and snail mail any pictures or other nontext items. If you do not have your text in electronic format, you can snail mail that as well. E-mail submissions for the fanzine to Healer Adept Moonstar. Snail mail materials to:

Queen's Own
P.O. Box 749
Laguna Beach CA 92652 USA

Cover Art Needed

We need Valdemar-related artwork to be submitted for the covers of Children of Velgarth.

All files must be in .jpg or .gif format, preferably in black and white.

Hardcopy submissions are also accepted via the mail at

Queen's Own
P.O. Box 749
Laguna Beach, CA 92652

Please contact me, Healer Adept Moonstar, at healermoon@gmail.com if you have any questions.
