The Lion's Den

Greetings, gentlepeople.
This be the dust jacket for his most royal sovereign, King Henry VIII. He has graciously given you leave to explore his kingdom in several threads.

Main Thread

Older Henry VIIIOlder Katherine of AragonOlder Anne BoleynJane Seymour
Henry, Katherine, Anne Boleyn, Jane, Anne of Cleves

The Year is 1540 in the year of our Gracious Lord. The King is going to take another wife, Anne of Cleves.... or is he? Meanwhile, the dissolution of the monasteries is continuing.

Our story is covered in many threads:

Queen Catherine's England

Young Henry VIIIYoung Katherine of Aragon
Henry ----------- Catherine

You may start any story with Katherine of Aragon as queen, but if you start another thread, please name your story in parentheses. In the 500th anniversary thread, we are in 1513.

And now for something completely different –

Alternative History

Feel free to start a new storyline, but name your story and put that in parentheses before the title of your post. We have:

Anne Boleyn

Young Anne Boleyn
Anne ---------------- son Edward

Anne Boleyn has a son… How does that change history?

Long Live King Arthur

ArthurYoung Katherine of Aragon
Arthur ----------- Catherine

Prince Arthur did not die in Wales and has become king of England. Will Prince Henry sit for being second fiddle and watch his brother have all the power in England?

Currently, we are in 1511. Arthur and Catherine have been crowned and are now celebrating their coronation Arthurian style.

Dead Queen's Society
King Henry may get his way in this life, but his queens have a thing or two to say in the next one.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
Get wacky! Here is your chance to do all the stories that don't fit into other storylines.

Please note: We are looking for all types of people in this novel! Some include: commoners, thieves, servants, children or any others you can think of! This novel is more focused on the era around the King rather than the King himself.

  • On another note, we ask that you do not apply to the novel as King Henry VIII. We have decided to keep him an NPC in this novel.
  • Please do not apply as a queen or major canon character unless you will post for the major events of your canon character, including any build-up. For example, if you want to be Anne of Cleves, you must be willing to post a bit before she comes to England, plus post on the day (or day after) she comes to England, the day of her marriage, etc. Otherwise, you may hold up other people waiting to react to the event. Also, while everyone makes errors, if you are posting as a queen or major canon character, please keep mistakes to a minimum.
  • Please talk with the MOBs before adding a new thread. We would like the threads to have a consistent look.

Don't remember where research is? 'Tis under Story Boards.
