Yeah, I missed that... but it's fine. Just lemme know when you get him up.

IceCat · Post by **IceCat** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 8:09 pm

I had trouble with the internet for a few days. I'll get Timarioth up very soon ^^

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 2:20 pm

That's fine, IceCat. Thanks for letting me know.

And... according to my list now, there's 68 applicants for the generational project, and 1 more waiting for approval. That's actually quite scary...

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 3:09 pm

Yeah and I so hope that my one will be okay, I need to poke Sargs again.

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 4:42 pm

Sargs has been poked.

I'm altering the post to reflect the information for the dragon! She's good to go.

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 9:49 am

More update-ness. I really should start updating the first post with this stuff too...

Anyway, deadline for the litter of lemur dragons is midnight tonight for you guys over on the west coast of the US. Which means, technically, I'll close it sometime tomorrow morning GMT. Remember, it's open to anyone and anything, as long as they can look after a dragon. I'll take bonders, sponsors and those that have already bonded, and it doesn't matter if they're stories or stat sheets.

And also, while I'm updating, I have a template done for the generation 1A of my fluffy project. The parents are Drahm-aisi and Leikoytta. As such, they're glowy-eyed, duo-winged, fuzzy-pawed super mutts:

This clutch will consist of around 10 dragons, of which five are reserved for JKatkina, Dray, Shard, TyGryph and me. But I'll post more details of that when the clutch actually opens.

JKatkina · Post by **JKatkina** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 9:53 am

Oh my gosh, coool!

I'm all excited about these guys now! ^__^

Post by **Dray** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 9:55 am

*cackles* Those Schattar-wings are really entertaining in drak-form. X3 So many reserves, woot!

Just let me know what you'd like from me in exchange, and I'll get it thrown together. ^^

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 10:01 am

Glad you both like.

I'm not 100% sure exactly what I'm gonna do in regards to the reserves, but I'll get it figured out in a couple days. It won't be anything too strenuous, though.

The rest of the clutch will be open to plain old bonders and/or sponsors (once I study the full pedigree and work out which is applicable to these).

Ooh, you'll take stat-page sponsors for the lemur clutch? :D Excellent, 'cause I really want one but honestly don't have the time/inspiration/focus to write anything. >.> *goes to send*

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 12:07 pm

Yep, stat pages are more than welcome. I like reading stories, of course, but I realise lots of people don't have time to write them, so it's fine.

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 1:04 pm

I have a group of anthros that will be taking on a lemur or two - but I haven't had time to write much on them yet. I think they're up but I can't recall the page off the top of my head. But they're an acting troupe so it should be fun to see a lemur-type interacting with them.

Plus they're furry. I'm going to be working *a lot* on sponsor pages and candidates today...

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 1:08 pm

Well, lemme know the details when you can... as long as there's something on the page, it'll be fine. But lemurs love troupes, so...

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 1:40 pm

And I actually ---- forgot..... to put up the giveaways you gave out.

So I'm going to try working them into it too. I've been so lame about that. But they're in progress.

The start of their page actually is up,
http://www.geocities.com/kshau_furries/kpfur.htm

The cloroxx ii is in progress to... and might get one or more of the giveaways.

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 1:44 pm

Cool. I guess I'd better get colouring lemur dragons... I'd only coloured a couple because I wasn't anticipating on getting any more bonders/sponsors for the litter...

Kitsuneko · Post by **Kitsuneko** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 2:05 pm

Aww, dang, I was hoping to write a story for Dantas (the lemur halfling, from Aleren's story) and send him to the lemur clutch, but I can't get to what I've written. Argh. -_-
I'll have to settle for making a stat sheet today.

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 2:10 pm

If you want, you can send me his details, and then get the page up when you can. Just because a lemur guy and a lemur dragon belong with each other...

LakotaWolf · Post by **LakotaWolf** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 3:20 pm

OMG, part-Schattie-babies with GIANT PAWS.

Must try for one XD

::stalks::

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 3:23 pm

The giant paws were... completely accidental, but I'm glad you like 'em.

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 4:16 pm

I think that ever since Ty made the first Ryslen dragons, we've all been fans of big paws. I think that's one of the most cute endearing things a dragon can have.

Plus, I can't draw paws to save my life, so whenever anyone does it right, that's a bonus.

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 7:44 am

This information is also available on the first post of this topic, if you need it.

Firstly, sorry for the delay. Some things came up, and I just haven't had chance to do this until now. I intended to do updates last Sunday.

The lemur dragon litter have bonded! Read the story at http://shiolar.merseine.nu/mirus/archive07hatching.htm and pickup your youngling lemur dragons at http://shiolar.merseine.nu/mirus/archive07pickup.htm

The youngling images there are about four months of age, since I was unable to draw anything that looked good for the newborn dragons your characters bonded and sponsored. At the time of bonding/sponsoring, their eyes are still closed and they communicate only through very vague colours and emotions.

Their eyes open around two months old, and they're weaned at six months, which is when they learn to fly and learn their magic. They're full adults at about three years of age, and between birth and that point, their telepathic link with their bond becomes stronger. For those who sponsored, they'll only be able to communicate with their dragon through words, unless the sponsor themselves is telepathic.

Deadline for the youngling images to be up is 1st April, but the adult images will be made available much sooner, if the majority of the youngling images are up.

And Generation 01A of the Fluffy Generations Project is open for bonders and sponsors. Read all about it at http://shiolar.merseine.nu/mirus/generation_01a.htm

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or PM them. Or pounce on me if you see me in the chat room.

Those lemur dragons are adorable, Shiolar. ^_^ The little hind-hand on each of them is the best!

So the caretakers come to the fortress, or are they hanging around the cave? X3 And it's Kathamus who picks them up? What does he look like, then if we were to write him into a mini-story?

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 10:50 am

Caretakers and bonders come to the Fortress, and Kathamus will be the one who makes sure they can find their way to the cave for the hatching. Prior to the hatching, they'll have quarters in the Fortress, if they happen to arrive in the wrong time, but given what things are like in the Fortress right now, it's just as likely they'll arrive with minutes to spare. Whatever works for you, really. The nice thing that came out of accidentally wrecking my world's timeline from ten thousand years ago onwards means it leaves plenty of freedom for anybody writing their characters on the world.

(Actually, that reminds me, if anybody ends up in a time too far removed from the Fortress' actual time, then they'll need Tesilas to find them. Kathamus is good with moving through the fractured time, but he's not that good; he's only learned is way through the Fortress as it currently is. Just a note, in case anybody needs to know...)

As for Kathamus, he's L'meridii, rather than human. He looks mostly human, but is rather more lanky and lightly built than any human could be while still looking healthy. He has bright red, spikey hair that simply cannot be controlled, and this hair runs all the way down his spine to his long, fuzzy tail, which is also red. He has very, very pale blue eyes. Pretty much, he's a typical L'meridii, although that really doesn't help much, considering I've never managed to write down just what the L'meridii are... they're another race that got mostly wiped out before I'd really done much with them...

It's the custom of Kathamus' species to wear minimal clothing, usually just a pair of shorts or trousers, and Kathamus continues with this while he's inside. Obviously, it's too cold outside for him to do that, considering the Fortress is on top of some very snowy mountains. Apart from those bits of it in a summer timeframe... Even when he's outside, though, Kathamus always has bare feet, which are coincidentally rather similar to those hind-hands on the baby lemur dragons. *grins*

In personality, Kathamus is highly intelligent, with a powerful sense of justice and what is 'right'. He's determined by nature, and is unusually rational and sensible for a L'meridii. Since the L'meridii are typically rather... chaotic and irrational, Kathamus reflects that to the average human eye. He's rather reckless, and doesn't always think about what he's doing, but despite that he's basically a decent guy. He's rather outgoing and friendly, too, and he generally likes everyone. The only exception are the Elnaesii.

His page is at http://shiolar.merseine.nu/mirus/kathamus01.htm if you want to read more, but most of what I've put above is based on what his stats page says anyway.

Hope this helps.

Post by **Dray** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 12:19 pm

Yep, that helps tonnes. ^_^ I sent in a stats page and a short story--please lemme know if I wrote him at all wrong (he's kind of bland-sounding right now because I only read his stats page, not his story. >.>""") Hope that'll do! :D

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 12:27 pm

It's absolutely fine, Dray. It'll be nice to see Kalin standing for multiple generations. And you didn't write in anything that Kathamus wouldn't have done if I'd been writing him, so it's just fine.

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 12:25 pm

All my lemurs, and the earlier giveaways are up!

http://www.geocities.com/kshau_furries/fur-app2.htm They each have a popup window with the link to their names...

Just as I figured, they fit in nicely!

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 1:14 pm

Ooooh, very cool. Love the story you've got with it, too. It's fun seeing how others react to the mess in Mirus (which is going to be permanent until I find a way of fixing it...). I can get you pedigrees of the other Mirus dragons you have there too, if you like?

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 3:19 pm

Yes please, I'd like to put that on another page for em.

I figured they had one but I couldn't locate it.

And you knowwwww if someone from the Healing Den saw that mess on Mirus they'd be all "tsk tsk don't you know how to fix temporal anomalies?! just twist this here and tweak that there, and bingo!"

The healing den is outside time, but has a 'neon number' over the entrance that changes based on what's going on inside. For the naughty clutch it looked like a whip, for some of my characters there is a lit number, or letter-number combination... From that they can just add or subtract for 'days gone by' and pretty much show up at the right time. Time is so complicated. and I LOVE how one of the guys is a time manipulator, so that fit right in

That was actually a trick that my other character Mayhem would use on the Stage - only she'd run in, freeze everything, then stick people's hands into their mouth, put them in compromising positions, and then click time back on...

Post by **Dray** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 3:30 pm

XD Sounds like Mayhem needs to sit in the corner for a while and think about what she's done. X333

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 3:35 pm

It'll take a bit of tracking down, those pedigrees, but I have them here somewhere... Although not in any real format. I have lists of who the parents are, and from that I determine the rest of the lineage, if any is available. Half of them will, I think, come back to being relatives of N'theran...

And unfortunately for Mirus, it's not quite so easy to fix as just tweaking things. And also unfortunately, something I'm going to have to do in order to fix another part of the mess is going to make the time thing even worse, because it's going to add another dimension of impossibility to it all...

Plus, it's fun messing about with time. I've always been fascinated by paradoxes and causality loops. Actually, it was the... uh... use of such things that created this mess in the first place. *gives Flurry Candidate an extremely meaningful poke*
