Hi everyone!

This is to announce that the RPG that is based on the Palace of Key´s universe, called Le Palais, has moved to and nc-17 friendly Forum and is currently recruiting new players.

If you are in this list that means you have played, or would have loved to play the Old Key Game so, why not doing so now? This is a chance to play any character you have imagined, what would you like to be? A Key, a Master, a Servant or perhaps one of the small Pages? Any of them are open, all you need to do is to use your imagination and create the character you want to use.

This is the link to the New Forum so you all can check it out and begin to toy with the idea of joining, in case you have any doubt or question… or you simply want to know more you can write us, the friendly group of mods here admin@lepalaiskeys.com

Hope to see you on the board!

Cheers!

Okay so we have four people who turned in their fully trained Keys. Those Keys are:

Maria Key
Earthshine Key
Waxing Key
Dark Moon Key


Please comment here on which one you would like and I will send you the Key description. Remember fic should be at least 2500 words long. If you are choicing to do artwork there must be at least 5 pieces. If you would like to combine the two you can do a 1000 word fic and 2 pieces of artwork, or feel free to talk to me about any other combination you were thinking of. You Key will be due January 11, 2008.

Having a beta reader in not required but it is highly recommended. Fics are just better with a beta. If you don't know anyone that betas please check out these places, beta_readers or beta_search there are of course other places, but I just spent three seconds searching through those communities that listed beta reading as an interest.

Anyways Keys will be handed out on the first come first serve basis. Thank you very much and have fun. As always feel free to ask me any questions at amaresu [at] gmail [dot] com

That is November 7th. So far I have received 1 Key back. Failure to submit a trained Key by tomorrow will result in you being banned from this game. If I don't receive at least one more Key then the game will have to be canceled.


Thank you.

Claims are now sortaclosed. Please submit your Key descriptions either in a comment to this post or email it to me at amaresu [at] gmail [dot] com.

The Crescent Key and the Eclipse Key are still unclaimed. Talk to me if you would really like them.

Please have your descriptions in by November 7th. Earlier if possible. Once all descriptions are in claiming will commence. Thanks.

Sign ups for the Lunar Keys close tomorrow. There are still 3 keys left.

There are four Keys left for grabs. I think I'm going to put a time frame of October 31st for those to be taken and then we will continue with what we got. Sorry and thank you.

So a while ago I asked if anyone was interested in starting a new game. Some people responded positively and I resolved to start one. Then life happened (as it does) and I didn't get around to starting the game. So a bit belatedly I bring you the Lunar Keys.

Again comments will be screened and I will announce when all the Keys have been claimed. For more information on the Key Game please go to The Palace. If you have any questions please either leave a comment here or contact me at amaresu [at] gmail [dot] com

Thank you and I hope this works out.

I know there's been discussion about creating a new Palace lately and I'm all for that. I was wondering though if anyone would be interested in a new Game here well we wait? It's just an idea I thought I'd toss out there. I'd be willing to run it if people were interested.

So... it feels like forever since the key game has been.. pretty much dead. Right now, I'm feeling sorry I didn't offer to adopt it while I had the chance. Therefore, I were to offer to resurrect it, would anyone be willing to help me out?

The second piece about the Naga Key. ...actually, this one is more about Phineas than Yulan, but. Um. Oh well. ^^;

Title: Serpents
Author: Kashu Arashi
Disclaimer: Nope, they're mine. Even the one who was created by Tenchi Kaze was given to meeeeeeee!
Warnings: Darkness, angst, obsession, blood, medication, masturbation
Archive: Ask first please
C&C: How often have I said no? Really.

( Obsession - it's part of life )

I re-wrote the first piece of the Naga Key saga, with some massive beta help from windbourne.

Title: Foundling
Author: Kashu Arashi
Disclaimer: Nope, they're mine. Even the one who was created by Tenchi Kaze was given to meeeeeeee!
Warnings: Hospitals, non-consensual research, angst, darkness
Archive: Ask first please
C&C: How often have I said no? Really.

( Enter the Key )

Well, since this is the only real way to get things done at the moment (although Tenchi has temporarily opened the Club on Y!Gallery to fiction until we can get things sorted, for those who have accounts there, so posting is still an option, sort of), it looks like I get to merge screennames once again and ask: Hey, does anybody wanna beta? I have my two naga key pieces almost completely rewritten ("Foundling" is finished, should have "Serpents" done by the end of the day if all goes well), but so far my normal beta readers have given me cricket sounds.

I know the lj is supposed to be more or less defunct, but lacking any other options…

Does anybody know what's going on with the Palace? Everything seems to be offline & I haven't heard anything one way or the other.

I wanted to take my daily look at the Albany to see, if anything changed - if it is alive again so to speak - and now it's gone.

The whole key-games.net domain seems to be down.

So... what is happening? And... where are you, harlekin?

*peeks her head in, obviously too quiet for her own good* Heyas! Name is Cian (Lys if you like as well) recent lurker and I just joined two days ago because the game sounded interesting and it is quite an original idea.

I was always tempted to join in but just never had the courage to step up and do it (damn that shy nature). Ever since I read the Taurus Key by Lady Tempest. It seems as though I might have been a bit too late due to recent events happening. But I am still trying and working on the Generosity Key (Sariel just called to my muses and a lady never sais no when a gentleman woos in the way the angel did). Expect some pictures and short stories of the like.

((copied from the text in the Updates section of the Palace index page))

THE PALACE OF THE KEYS IS OFFICIALLY ON A HIATUS. NO LOST KEY REQUESTS OR SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ANSWERED FOR THE TIME BEING.

I think my and The Scribe's reign of irresponsibility with this site had best finally be put to an end. The site got a great new makeover that we worked hard on, yes, but the ensuing updates after that have been sporadic at best (non-existant at worst), and rules we said we were going to stick to regarding time limits for Keys have not been followed at all. Also, the inbox has been piling up for weeks while the two of us have been getting busier and busier with our own lives. I can't speak for the Scribe, but I personally have been losing interest in this site and its content. And someone who doesn't care anymore doesn't deserve to run a huge site such as this - that's not fair to all the talented creators who have contributed and will continue to contribute work here.

So, long story short - the Palace is on hiatus until I can find a suitable replacement(s) to run the site. If you are interested, send an e-mail to key.palace[at]gmail[dot]com and explain why you think you are a good candidate. Again, I am very sorry.

~The Seneschal

Watched Moulin Rouge today, and have the urge to write Keyfic. Can I write and post here even if I'm not using a Key from the game itself? And on the flipside, I've looked up the available Keys on the site, and are any of them normal humans?

Thanks!

Copied from Moonshadow's (a.k.a.: the Eunuch's) announcement to the Keyfic ML:

"I am pleased to announce, with the permission of the Seneschal, that after a several year hiatus, the Castle of the Chains is once again open. The new address is:

http://www.akasa.ca/kashuarashi/chains/chains_enter.html

There are currently nine Chains available: Seven Game related Chains open for training and two Independent Chains looking for owners.

The Chains from the original Game (save for one who's information was lost) have been recoded and settled into the new, Flower Chain's archive. Two of these Chains actually have new fiction and art.

To those who walked the halls of the original Castle, welcome back. To those who visit for the first time, I hope you enjoy your stay. Please feel free to take a look around and send feedback.

Sincerly,
Moonshadow D'tarth"

Everybody now: yaaaaaaay!

notes: In my interpretation of my Key's universe, Foxglove is a Palace servant who oversees ten Keys, of which the Violet Key is one. I wrote short bios for each of Foxglove's Keys, and this is a short story about one of those ten.
