Grettis saga, part 1.

1.

Önundur is a dude. Vikings. The Irish get attacked (it's always the Irish).

Done with Laxdæla, what next?

Well, I've received a request to write Grettis saga next so that's what! Outlaws! More zombies! Vikings, naturally, a Bob-load of them! Some pretty fierce survival - I mean sure, Gísli was awesome for hiding as long as he did but he'll totally meet his match here. I'll even throw in some more Varangians because everyone loves Varangians.

(If, at any time, you think of a saga you'd like me to re-write in short, feel free to drop me a note.)

Laxdæla saga, part 16. FINAL PART.

76.

Þorsteinn: "Come on Þorkell don't be daft you can't sail in that storm!"

Þorkell: "Oh yeah? Oh yeah?"

Þorkell: *drowns*

Þorsteinn: "Told you so."

Guðrún goes to church and there's a bunch of wet ghosts hanging about it. She becomes totally religious. I mean she was Christian before but now she kind of gets serious about it, and we all know what it means when Guðrún gets serious. Be happy she doesn't live in our time or hiding behind the couch would not be enough to get her to stop ringing the bell and leave.

Herdís: "Hi grandma. I saw this dream where a woman was asking me to help her out, you're bothering her a lot and she thinks you're creepy."

Guðrún: "It's ok, I'll just dig up her corpse and dump it see how she likes that."

Snorri: "What are you guys planning here?"

Bolli + Þorleikur: "NOTHING nothing absolutely nothing go away it's nothing, honest."

Snorri: "You two idiots think I'm an idiot too?"

Þorleikur: "...well we just sort of wanted to kill the rest of the folks who were with Helgi when he killed our dad."

Snorri: "Wow you two ARE idiots."

Snorri: "Halldór, the two idiots want you dead."

Halldór: "O fuk."

Snorri: "So pay them some fines and I'll make them stay at home and sit there quietly."
