A Moment in Life

by Issi Herondale

Everett never expected to have a Selection or to become the heir for that matter. His sister was supposed to be the future queen and his father wasn't supposed to die young. With Illéa still grieving the loss of their Prince Consort and another war in the making, the advisors and Queen have just the distraction. A new Selection has begun. SYOC (CLOSED)

4. Another Update

Hey guys,

So this isn't the update you were hoping for. I had promised to update on my birthday, this Wednesday (tomorrow) but that isn't possible. I know, and I'm sorry. It's just that I haven't gotten all of the applications and I'm very behind in writing. I think I put too much on my plate. Honestly, at this point I'm not sure that I'll be able to update my other two stories. I really am sorry.

But that being said, I would like to take the opportunity to make an announcement (of sorts). So usually when I pick a character's name I pick one that I know that fits them. Even if it takes time, I always find the right one. And in my haste to publish the story I pretty much just randomly picked a name for Everett's sister. I thought that it would grow to fit her, but more and more I keep regretting picking her name. So I've decided to rename Marielle.

Shout out to the fantastic Cookiedoodles168, Fryllabrille201, buttercup890, IllusionistDream, Fairy Lori, Silvertrue, alexiaroosenhaan, morethanjustastory and Hikaru Leach for bearing with me.

Here are my current favorites. I'm currently not 100% certain about any name yet, but feel free to weigh in or suggest more. I'm hoping for something very queenly sounding, maybe even unique (to match her ancestors, Eadlyn, Amberly, and from my created family tree: Anthia, with great grandfathers: Thedric, Alasteir, and Amble).

-Katrina (I love this one, but her nickname would Kat, which is my dogs name)

-Alessia (nickname: Allie or Ally)

-Elisia (nickname: Ellie- same as now)

-Caroline

And last but not least, Marina. I absolutely adore Marina, but given the fact that her last name would be Waters I can't use the name.

If there are any you particularly like let me know! And I'd love to hear your suggestions! I really want something with strength (or fit for a queen). Marielle was the heir to throne and when she was born her parents would have picked a fitting name.

Thank you for sticking with me! And I hope you understand! Hopefully I will post the chapter in the next few weeks.
