Okay, YWS needs a mascot. I've already settled on a name - Squill - but not a body. Teddy bear? Dragon? Horse? Baseball cap? Toothbrush? Throat lozenge? Vote!

I like the idea of a baseball hat.. but that's me :P

Dragon would be cool.. Crysi?

A teddy bear would be cute, but it would also tie into the store.

Dragons are always good. Or a monkey, for Nate, or a pig, for Snoink.

Maybe a glass of ale... Or not...

I say an inanimate object, or one of the animals mentioned above.

Pat Buchanan, duh.
"He yanked himself free and fled to the kitchen where something huddled against the flooded windowpanes. It sighed and wept and tapped continually, and suddenly he was outside, staring in, the rain beating, the wind chilling him, and all the candle darkness inside lost."

Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.

A monkey...in honour of Nate.

Could he, perhaps, also be fencing - and his second could be a pig? ~_^

Horse!!!

I love horses, they move so elegantly and riding them is so much fun. I think a horse should be the YWS mascot because they can be symbolic of the way you write. Learning to write is a lot like learning to ride, you start off and slowly become better until you can be in full control of your horse, cantering along easily, jumping over obstacles or guiding him through the intricate moves of dressage. Its like that when you improve your wrting you know which words would benefit your writing and how to make them fit together to make your piece the best you can. Overcoming obstacles in your writing is like jumping your horse, it looks intimidating at first but if you think about the best way to approach it and have the courage to carry it through, then soon you'll be flying. :)

Ok, that was random but as you can see I really want a horse to become the mascot. But a teddy bear would be cute too.
