XD (That... sentence does not make sense but you know what I mean. :P) The problem, of course, is there are always more people who've read (or watched. *cough*) Narnia than the other books, including Malcolm despite his loud support during nomination.

XD<br /><br />Orrrr you could READ about Malcolm Blackfire before next year. ;D Those books by Kyle are rather fun--and they're short, too.<br /><br />Oh hey, that's awesome you were the one to nominate him! What an honor for you to see your nomination win! <3 Not to worry, Toothless and Malcolm helped me track down Smaug after the ceremony, and Malcolm sent him through a portal back to Middle Earth.

Smau...I'M SO GLAD. *beams* Thank you, my dear!<br /><br />Smaug has a rather lofty opinion of himself, doesn't he? It's hard for any other dragon to match him, in his mind. XD Yes, if Death-in-Life hadn't exited the cavern, I suspect the audience would not have survived. And neither would I. o.O<br /><br />Hahaha, saaaame! It's pretty funny, honestly. But he does have an epic, dragon-ish tale to tell, so it's not completely unfitting! Yay for Eustace!<br /><br />He was getting SO much support during the nomination round, I thought for sure he'd win! Maybe next time, though!<br /><br />It's sad that the awards are over again... But thank you for always participating so enthusiastically! Awww, you're the sweetest. <3Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-29619990715226714002018-09-30T20:26:28.644-05:002018-09-30T20:26:28.644-05:00Huzzah!

Truth be told, I thought he'd snag the winning spot, what with all the nomination support he received.

Still, I'm glad he had a moment in the spotlight!<br /><br />Aww, thank you. It helped that I had just finished listening to Focus on the Family's dramatization of "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader."<br /><br />I'm sad to see it end too. Looking forward to round four!

XD And of course, all Smaug’s disgruntled reactions were so very dragonish. <br /><br />Well, it looks like next year, I’m going to have to start voting for dragons I’ve never read before, but sound really cool anyway. (*cough, cough* Malcolm Blackfire *cough, cough*)<br /><br />…<br /><br />…I actually just looked back through the nominations, and I’m realizing that I was the one who nominated Eustace in the first place. So… that was a surprise! (Ooh, I hope Smaug doesn’t scroll through these comments and find out who’s [in part] responsible for this… ;)Grace Newsomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068061047234549635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-34009226215620858572018-09-28T12:05:30.491-05:002018-09-28T12:05:30.491-05:00This was a great post!

I too find it interesting that Eustace is the "most magnificent dragon" given his nature. Smaug had some great points on the matter haha!

I was grinning through every. single. ...OH MY GOSH. I was grinning through every. single. bit. This was pure brilliance!!!<br /><br />Smaug's reaction to each of the nominees was HILARIOUS. Naturally he would not consider most of them as worthy contenders. Hahaha! Though I am glad Death-in-Life left quickly. That could have been a NASTY battle between him and Smaug. I shudder to think. o.o<br /><br />I'm kind of both proud and totally amused that Eustace won "most magnificent dragon" amidst sooooo many other dragonish contenders. It's so unexpected. But I love it. XDD I mean, why not??? Not every little boy gets to be turned into a dragon and then freed of his scales by Aslan himself. It was epic! So huzzah for Eustace!<br /><br />I was rooting for Malcolm though, but I am so proud he at least got second!!! Maybe next year he'll snag first! :D<br /><br />*huge applause for EVERYONE* This was an epic ceremony! I can't believe it's the end of the Silmaril Awards. *sniff, sniff* They were so fun! Huge thanks to all you amazing presenters for putting this on.

Eustace hardly comes to mind when I hear the words "most magnificent dragon." Then again, neither did last year's winner, a dragon the size of a small dog, but I guess we just present the winners, we don't pick them!<br /><br />Also, great lines from Eustace who is a wonderful character in his own right.<br /><br />Sad that this is the last award.
