Ooooh, Coronataith's adult image is even prettier than the baby image. She'll be up later. After I've done this 'working for a living' thing.

Thanks for the link, Lakota!

I'm glad that everyone likes, so far! :3

I forgot to mention, Kayla, that you have a reserve spot for this one, though I'll still be poking you come the due date so that I can get the clutch out sooner then later.

And this clutch ends my backed-up pile of dragons! I'm going to have to get drawing and colouring again! XD

Eeeee! *Hugs Niklas* Oh yeah, and the dragon too...^_^ Anyway, I love them both, dragon and caretaker.

Whee, prettypretty!

I should have mine up some time tomorrow.

Coronataith is up! http://shiolar.merseine.nu/mirus/rhiana.htm

Hey... Nocturn is up at http://hometown.aol.com/cysherra3/cato.html But for some reason... O_o Photobucket shrunk his adult stage! Argh! Would changing it into a GIF make it a smaller file size?

Post by **Dray** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:32 pm

Thanks Shiolar and Sherra!

(Sherra, here's the gif-ized version of Nocturn:

Just let me know if you ever need a .gif in the future--or if anyone else would like a gif, please let me know! I'm getting rid of the png's as I replace them with gif's, so if a pickup page turns up with a blank, it's because I haven't updated it to reflect the change. ^_^)

As a note: All three clutches (GEN11 black, red, and white) are happening at relatively the same time. I'm sorry I didn't include a pre-story for this clutch, but I've got zilch inspiration for it, and I thought that there was enough out of character info to be clear. >_> The white clutch is all live-born, too, as noted on the page, since both parents were liveborn.

Heh, I'll rewrite the story-bit for Rhiana and Coronataith then. I did look for info, but... was having a dense evening last nignt.

hksherra · Post by **hksherra** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 7:31 am

Hmmm... I don't think that's Nocturn! ^^; He has a white patch on his chest...

That one is very pretty too, though!

Post by **Dray** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 7:54 am

...Oh bugger all. I mixed up him and Kerinthicus. They're almost exactly the same, after dealing with that pile of similar dragons--never doing more then 11 at a time again! (I have the images listed by number in my records, not name, so I can't easily sort through them... perhaps I should change that...)

Okay, /anyways/, here's Nocturn (for reals, this time! XD)

I'm sorry about the mixup!

*crosses fingers* I hope that's right, this time! X3

Again, apologies!

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 11:20 am

Rhiana and Coronataith's story is fixed... Do I need to resend the form?

Unyko · Post by **Unyko** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 1:06 pm

*squeal of glee* YAY! *goes to put her pretty new boy up -rightnow- even if she is in class* X3!!!

And yay for gifs. ^.^; *enjoys the transparent bg feature, especially* <3

hksherra · Post by **hksherra** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 1:59 pm

Yep yep! That's Nocturn baby! ^^ Thanks!

Post by **Dray** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 6:46 pm

If it's the same link, Shiolar, then nope! I'll get it once I go to read everyone's applications, sometime when the clutch fills up. (I only caught yours right away since it was on the same page, and I tend to read whatever is new that I can immediately link to!)

I'm going to be using gif's in the future (though I think I already said that!) unless the dragons in question have glowies of any sort. That way Photobucket won't eat my heart!

LakotaWolf · Post by **LakotaWolf** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 6:56 pm

Dray, you're more than welcome to host the images on one of my Panelhosting or Geocities accounts for the pickups, if you want :D Even if you can't connect/FTP to my Panelhosting account (I think we tried that, and you couldn't?) I could FTP em up myself :}

That way you could keep pretty PNGs!

Post by **Dray** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 7:00 pm

Oh, it's no problem, Lakota! I appreciate the offer, but I rather like gif's better, in the first place! X3 Besides, it's a little quicker to just upload things to photobucket instead of sending them to you and then getting the links back so I can use 'em. I'm kind of a control-freak that way... though if I do need to host some bigger files or something, I'll definitely ask!

Post by **Dray** » Sun Apr 09, 2006 1:40 pm

Just so everyone knows, there's only one space left for that white clutch. :) If you want to get a character in, sooner is more likely to get you a dragon from that clutch then later!

I apologize if I don't close the clutch immediately after the last applicant comes in--I'm not on the computer as much, so I won't be able to see who applies. If you send in a character that doesn't have a story and it's too late, I'll bump you to the next clutch. If you send in a story-character, we can talk, and we can see about switching you in for one of the character suggestion or stats-page-only applications. It seems more fair to me to allow people who have taken the effort to write a story /for/ the clutch get a dragon, as opposed to just sending in a form without any further effort. o.o

Anyways, just a heads-up!

Post by **Dray** » Sun Apr 09, 2006 4:51 pm

Woop, and it's closed! I'll try to get that out next weekend, since this one's full of projects. ^_^ Thanks!

Meep! Did I get a spot in it? I was trying to write something up and send Aegre to sponsor one of his offspring, which is why I hadn't sent anyone in yet.

Kitsuneko · Post by **Kitsuneko** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 9:57 am

Meh, missed out on the white clutch...oh well. Here's Niklas and Cytello: http://www.geocities.com/darklingdawnpe ... iklas.html

Post by **Dray** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 2:01 pm

Ack, Kayla! I forgot about you in my haste to get that last spot filled! ^^; I'll bump one of the character-suggestion applications out, since I know you were reserved. The deadline is April 17th for the clutch to go out, so if you can get it in to me before that's over, I can include you.

Again, so sorry!

And thanks for the link, Kitsuneko!

dracosinfernoweyr · Post by **dracosinfernoweyr** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 9:30 pm

S'okay, I understand. I just went ahead and sent Aegre as a stats page, I don't think I could concentrate on a story at the moment and I don't want to hold it up any. ^^

Post by **Dray** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 6:55 pm

A quick update!

The white clutch has hatched, find it here:

http://www.deviant-uprising.com/dray/BWR/11Wpickup.htm

Unfortunately, I had forgotten that Kayla had a reserve when I closed the clutch, so I ended up having to bump someone to the next clutch. Apologies, DF, but since you and Midori were the only ones to submit a giveaway-style form, and Midori hadn't gotten a dragon from the previous clutch, I ended up bumping you. That does mean, however, that you're automatically involved in the upcoming clutch--though you can always re-submit a form if you have a better idea! ^_^ I'm always willing to accept a stats page over a giveaway, or a story over a stats page!

The next clutch, GEN11R, is also up for your perusal:

http://www.deviant-uprising.com/dray/BWR/11Rpickup.htm

Mystic, since I used Sirisen as the mother, you've got an automatic reserve. Please let me know if you want in by the deadline, and submit a form by that time. You can ask for a giveaway form if you've got all of your info on your laptop, since I know that that's all burnt out. *hugs*

The deadline to have the half-Askans up, as well as to submit stories, stats pages, and giveaway forms, is April 26th. Until then, that's all!

If you spot any weirdnesses, please let me know. Sometimes I skip over something that might otherwise be important!

Hee, that template is so... full of attitude. XD Love it. Paged and posting mine right away so I don't forget again!

Fat and sassy!

Thanks, Phe! *goes to update 'er records*

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 7:45 pm

Woah my goodness I have GOT to get me one of THOSE. I know which one, I only hope everyone else isn't trying for the same

Post by **Dray** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 7:52 pm

Apparently, if you want the black one, you're going to have to scuffle with Lakota and Skysong for him. XD They're fighting over him in the chatboard.

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 8:35 pm

Lol - figures. Well I've got my sights on one of two, so hopefully...

I'm gonna send you the application with the page I've already got, and I'll be adding more story to it to reflect this.

Post by **Dray** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 8:45 pm

Alright. I don't usually read anything until either the deadline rolls around or the clutch is full... so as long as you get more written by whichever comes first, I probably won't even notice. There are two spots filled already (both of the giveaway variety), but I give full precedence to stories and stats pages, so I look forward to seeing what you send!
