I finally jumped on the bandwagon and sent a candidate to this ^_^ I'm excited! Who knew that moving offworld would inspire me to write again lol

Oooh, I love the first one, looks very ... regal. I'm glad I managed to send in a candidate for that clutch ^_^ The second one is pretty too, but I like the first one best. Floofy while still being draconic looking! Yay!

I got Daighre/Cemitre Selamputo up, as well as Isto Selamputo up! Their pages are very skeletal, but as tomorrow/today is my sister's birthday as well as Easter, I thought I should give you something! ^^;

I hope to have some images for Daighre soon. He's so awesome... ^^

Story's up for Royanet, and I sent a character in for Gen12B. Absolutely love both those templates, though, especially the first one... so fluffy and furry (hopefully I'll be able to get one into my Fluffy Gen Project...) But I love the furry back on the second one, too...

Ooh, lots of links! Thanks, Neishai!

And story! ^_^ *goes to read!*

It's not very exciting, my storybits today, but... *shrugs*

I forgot I hadn't gotten my gen11white up! argh x_x; They're bare bones right now too, since I have to go to some hideous musical called "Swing" with my family shortly, but I'll expand upon both of them ASAP :D

X3 Thanks, you guys! I appreciate them getting paged so fast!

Neishai · Post by **Neishai** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 2:50 pm

I really hope to do more with Daighre, Ignatius, and Delliath (caretakers for all three rounds of Gen. 11), especially since Daighre is a Dingo (dog) and Iggy a firecat... Heh heh. Iggy's going to be Dai's general... I'm sure you can see an obvious conflict there. My lack of time and my twitching (happy!ideas!caffeine!whee!) are not meshing well. v.v But hopefully I will have some time... before I bust a gut. Or before I go beyond all reason and pull an all-nighter on a work night! XD

Post by **Dray** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 3:23 pm

That should be awesome. XD I can't wait to read it... could you link me to the storybit, whenever you're finished? I have the bad tendancy to forget to go looking, myself.

Also, there's only three spots left in this clutch. Anyone who sent in a stats page with a "I'll try to have a story written for it before it closes!" should get working on it!

Post by **DragonFlight** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 4:37 pm

Heh, think I'll miss this one, they're gorgeous though, Dray. ^^

Post by **Dray** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 5:51 pm

There's still plenty of time, if you want to change your mind, DF. ^_^

Hey, Neishai? I tried looking up your stats pages, and both gave me broken links. You sent these two, for reference:

http://www.geocities.com/taikea/voivode/voivode.htm
http://www.geocities.com/taikea/voivode/caifeng.htm

Is there something in there that's a typo? o.O

Neishai · Post by **Neishai** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 1:32 am

..........XD;;; Sorry, yeah... I just hand-typed it. The first 'voivode' in thar should be 'vampire'. ><;

http://www.geocities.com/taikea/vampire/voivode.htm
http://www.geocities.com/taikea/vampire/caifeng.htm

I wonder if I should try for the story bit... Ehm... how long a story is needed... and... for 'by closing', would we need to have it written by the time the clutch is filled, or by the deadline? (there may be a difference! XD )

Post by **Dray** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:53 am

For stories, I'll take anything from 100 words up. XD One page is really all I /need/, unless you want to write more, in which case, go for it! (Sometimes it's really hard to be succinct in writing bonding stories.)

'By Closing', I mean by the time the clutch fills up, since when that happens, I usually run the thing earlier (XD I guess it's kind of a 'reward' for people sending things in so quickly!) (by the way, if people would rather that I stay stuck to the deadline I put up, even if the clutch fills, so that they can write more story until the due-date, please let me know! I can certainly change things to accommodate you!)

Right now, I have a feeling that you're going to have at least a few days to write your story (But don't quote me on that!) since it looks like just about everyone who wants to send in a candidate/sponsor /has/ already! After that first rush, I'm not sure how many more people are /going/ to reply. :3 Unless I get a bunch of last-minute applications, you're probably free to write a little bit.

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:08 am

Personally, I love it when the clutch fills up before the deadline, and then hatches before the deadline... I absolutely hate waiting... But that's just me...

Xalia · Post by **Xalia** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:13 am

Personally I'd rather the clutches hatch faster too...even if it means I miss out because I'm too busy to write a story!

Astra · Post by **Astra** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:14 am

hehe same here ... I'm impatient ^_^ Must be nice, though, being so popular you don't need a deadline

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:16 am

Yeah, I think most of us are jealous of Dray for that...

Xalia · Post by **Xalia** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:20 am

Oh yeah... *pokes at her almost completely neglected agency* XD

Post by **Dray** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:21 am

*hugs* I'm just happy that you guys keep sending me such awesome characters! XD Drawing templates is good and fun, but having great stories and stats to match them to makes it so much more fun! *love-squishes the community*

Astra · Post by **Astra** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:22 am

Xaila -- Well, you can always impose a deadline, and people will get off their bums! After all your dragons are lovely but people dont send candidates because they think the clutch will never fill (vicious cycle). Therefore let's all hear it for Phe for coming up with the whole deadline thing

And then once the deadline is in place for awhile you'll be as popular as Dray and Phe and friends.

Of course, I'm one to talk, having no agency of my own. I'm thinking of starting one, but I'm pretty much expecting it to not get many candidates in the beginning, so I'll do it like Dray's old OABP with a first come first serve style of bonding, and if there's a good response I'll start having deadlines and traditional clutches.

But I posted a deadline and didn't get any more candidates...which means that when I hatch that clutch there will be about 9-10 dragons without homes...

Astra · Post by **Astra** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:25 am

really? *pokes site* when is it? Maybe put the deadline in your sig so people notice every time you post something.

Post by **Dray** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:31 am

Xalia, will you take stats pages? I can't see my cat person and magic boy going anywhere right now (XP They're so random, I just don't have any inspiration to write for them anymore!) But if I can send in, say, one of the characters that I have already that I like writing for, I could possibly get one thrown together for you.

x.x' Kat's just managed to get it through my head that I have my Big Final in art history in two days, so I'm going to disappear off the face of the net for a couple of days.

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:37 am

Deadlines in siggy... I should do that... It might be better than me posting reminders every couple of days...

~Might see what she can write tonight~ x_x

Neishai · Post by **Neishai** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 1:09 pm

Weeelll... in this case, both Voivode and Caifeng are already bonded, so I suppose a story isn't really needed. It's just that... if I wanted to write a story, I would hate to go to all the work just to have the clutch fill up early - and before I was even done. ;.;

Otherwise, I'd just as easily write the story afterwards. :/
