The Nexus

I was reminiscing about dragon adoptions in a Reddit thread where we talk about how we got into the Fantasy genre and I realized how bit a part of my life dragon adoptions were, from middle school all the way well into college. I'm kind of curious to dig up some of my old candidate stories, though I...

I found out via the inter-tubes that Anne McCaffrey passed away today :( I know some in this community had their disagreements with her and her lawyers, but many (most?) of us came here through Pern fandom, and I think we can all agree that she was a huge influence on the community as a whole. She w...

The rules of NaNoWriMo are, to quote Pirates, more like guidelines. In 2009 I flaked and only got about 20k words in, but I really liked my story idea, so in 2010 I just picked up the exact same story and started over. Which is technically a no-no. But the plot itself wasn't even new in 2009, and I'...

I was procrastinating from homework and decided I'd check the Nexus, and I realized that it's been so long since I've been here that my browser didn't even autocomplete, I had to type out the whole url. SAD! Anyway I miss you guys, and I probably still don't have time to actively participate due to ...

Staaaaarburst! I missed you! Of course I've been a mega-lurker too so I can't say anything about your absence :P Chemistry sounds like a great major. I was never very good at chem but I was always jealous of people who were. Don't feel bad if you decide to go with something else, though. I think I w...

Hehe I started with Heroes 3 as well, although I also played Heroes 2 for a long time because my friend got Heroes 3 and gave me her old Heroes 2 game before I saved up enough money to buy my own Heroes 3. I have a mac too, but I set up a Windows partition using boot camp for the sole purpose of pla...

I admit having to google what Steam was ... but Whoa, that sounds cool! I just got a new laptop with a bitchin' graphics card, so I might have to look into this. I'm not much of a serious gamer, though. Recently I've become re-obsessed with Heroes of Might and Magic V ... anyone else play that game,...

Hi everyone! I wasn't sure whether to post this, because I haven't exactly been GONE persay, but I have been in major lurk mode the past few months and I really missed being more involved in this place so I thought I'd come say hello. Goings-on in my life have been hectic, which partially explains m...

Happy birthday Dray!

queen(dragon)

Whoa, StarFyre, that is a COOL template!

Omg they're all awesome! I really love the personalities. And I did only ask for the one rare so it's all good Now I need to get started paging them all *scurries off*

*sneaks out of lurk mode to get in on this* I've always loved these dragons and never managed to get any so I'm excited :) Your name: Astra How many dragons would you like? Gold: 1 Bronze: 1 Brown: 2 Blue: 2 Green: 2 Rare (please be specific if it's something unusual!): a black one or a duotone woul...

I wonder what ever happened to Falora? I miss Talor Cliff...

Oh hey! I remember you! I'm so glad that you're back So what are you studying/researching in school?

*glomp* that does sound hectic! Hope things get better!

I definitely LOL'd ... although it seems to me that it's not just a reflection on Geocities, as much as it is a parody of web sites in general from 1998

perhaps a large hotel (hotel california? ;) ) "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave".... yep, sounds about right. XD I like the mansion idea though I imagine something smaller. We are not a HUGE forum. XD Maybe a big old rambling house... because we do have to have ...

Your Name: Astra Preferences: any! Candidate 1 Name: Azazel Gender: female Species: human Appearance: fair skin, dark red hair, brown eyes, slight build Personality: A bookworm, intellectual but scatterbrained, hard working but easily distracted Candidate 2 Name: Hallis Gender: male Species: humanoi...

I use:

http://www.isohunt.com
http://thepiratebay.org/
http://www.mininova.org

However, I don't use Windows so I don't know about spyware or anything like that. Also the pirate bay is kind of dying slowly, so I'd say the first and third are more reliable.

I always figured it was gold/silver/bronze being equivalent to gold/bronze, and cream/brown/red was equivalent to brown, and green/blue/purple was equivalent to green/blue. But I could be completely wrong about that, and I might have red and purple confused. I think that every site had its own way o...

Dude, I LIKE Ringeth and Dlivereth. Who drew them?

How many candidates would you like to write stories for?: One or two?
How many stats-based candidates would you like to send in?: Eh probably none, I'd prefer to write stories.
If I'm giving away free slots, how many would you be interested in snagging?: As many as I can get away with?

You know, I don't actually know. I'd have to ask Ty. I always considered him brown-equivalent but I could be wrong about that. He's in a leadership role because he is awesome and Draconia Station doesn't observe color rankings :P Also, IC-wise, I should probably mention that Dorian and Tai (Savitath...

Your Name: Astra Your Email: margaret.k.mcnulty@gmail.com Number of Auditioners You're Sending: 4 Comments: I just realized that Every Single One of the dragons I'm sending was drawn by Ty. If I were to pick a favorite, then definitely Savitath <3. Also, with the exception of Savitath, all the drago...

If you do get a mac, I can't recommend the AppleCare protection plan enough. It does cost a bit extra, but in terms of the free repairs I've gotten for my laptop it's paid for itself five times over. While my macbook was in the shop I used my old Dell Inspiron that was about 5 years old. At first it...

Oosh, that sucks. I've always firmly believed that Apple makes brilliant software and complete sh*t hardware. Seriously that stuff falls apart if you look at it funny. And yet, I keep buying it because I love the Mac OS and the general interface. So I totally understand where you're coming from. The...

I remember about a year ago I had this awesome idea to start a Pernese Weyr that was in "the future" and was all Steampunk and such, but I never got around to it. I always thought it was weird that there wasn't much technological progress.

LOL! I didn't realize we were allowed to pick non-integers ... in that case, can I change mine to e? (2.718 or so) Yay I love nerd things.

Oh wow, that's really detailed and cool. Does kind of make me want to write candidates now, though I have to admit my interest was piqued when I saw "lost rooms", lol.
