"My novel, it is about this thing" Giveaway :D

Post by Guest »

Okay, so here's the deal. Evidently I'm a glutton for punishment and don't want to write today. XD So, for those of you doing NaNoWriMo this year (all of you? O_o?) here's something also to procrastinate with:

I give you the chance to summarize your novel in 20 words or less, and I draw you a dragon or a gryphon or a magic seahorse or a whatever that you may either page and enjoy or stare at in confusion or whatever. :D They will be in pen/ink/colored pencil, because um, I don't CG well or quickly, and I don't want to do any more of that today or for the coming week.

Also, if you are not doing nano this year, you may still poke this and use the answers with relation to the longest piece of writing you've ever done or like, a previous nano if you're just sitting out this year. :D

SO!

Have a form!

Name:
Preferred writing medium: (pen&ink, pencil, fancy journals, MSWord, Corel WP7, Q10, etc etc :D Flaunt your nerdy preferences!)
The colors I prefer to write in:
Wordcount to date:

MY NOVEL! IT IS ABOUT THIS THING!!:

That's it! :D I'm bored and want something better to do. So this will fade within the week. XD And I'll probably close it Monday night. :D Good luck, fellow NaNoWriMo, and thanks for the patience those of you who aren't! XD

Your novel, clearly it is about Rainbow Brite's horse's bastard lovechild with some dragon somewhere. CLEARLY.

I digress. :D You may rephrase any of this should you at some time choose to page him:

Species: O_o uh.... Your guess is as good as mine.
Gender: Male
Height @ Shoulder: 12'
Length (nose to tail tip): 48'
Color: White & Spectrum
Eyes: Are purple! :D

Abilities: Fire Breath, Telepathy, Telekinesis, Flight (with telekinesis; otherwise, just gliding with his wings. YOU try to achieve lift with this mass. o_o; )

Can not speak verbally. Sorry, tough dice.

Life expectancy: Frickin' LONG. o_o;

Notes: Has spazztic, unpredictable, and unstable genetic code, which may at times result in absurd mutant babies should he choose to father some. Also, my scanner washed him out, and I am angry because of this. On his left rear thigh is the number "28745-Z", because you are awesome on your wordcount. HOORAH! :D

Basic Personality: Smug, knowledgeable, and not afraid of commitment.

Put him up or don't. The choice is yours. XD

Aaaaaahahahaha awesome.

Totally, freaking awesome :) I love that GRIN!

I'll definitely be making a Zekiran persona for his keeper/friend, that's for sure.

Grats on getting the green bar. :D I had this one drawn like, the night you replied, but um. it ALSO has a green bar! W00t! XD You, too, may change any of these to suit your... suiting as far as how it's phrased goes. ^^;

Species: O_o it's telling me it's a tufted lotus dragon
Gender: Female
Height: 15' at shoulder, plus appx 15' of neck
Length: Long neck makes for long dragon. Also, long tail makes for long dragon. XD
Color: Mostly blue

Abilities: Elemental magic (Wind), Flight, Verbal Speech, Empathic influence (sending only, no receiving)

Personality: Fluffy in the head. Quite forgetful and easily confused. Very sweet and loving, though. Has taken it as her charge to "keep the dead" (take that for whatever you think it ought to).

Notes: Her chest has a tattoo of "33" and right beneath it a cross (hey, /you/ said '33+' XD I just ran with it. :D) Outline is NOT friendly for black backgrounds. >__> I fix and tweak and test and more pixels kept coming, so I finally gave up. Just an FYI.

:D And huge congrats again for your green bar!

I can get it down to this at 5am with no sleep...

A guardian is stuck in a human body, while on there way to meet their human charge. While dealing with the now human aspects of themselves they attempt to guard their charge without falling for the charge and not seem like a stalker.

I suck at writing small consise things. But I did remove 20 of the words. I might be able down size it to something resembling 20 words when I've slept and don't have kimono on the brain.

If you ever get a candidate of mine you'll see how I suck at it.

Preferred writing medium: Narrative Illustrations

Wordcount to date: I don't know. XD But I've managed to put 26 pages together (and am starting over again because the originals are so far below my quality standards these days!)

MY NOVEL! IT IS ABOUT THIS THING!!: An embittered woman is forced to reconcile with her past when everything she's built for herself comes crashing down.

Kari-muffing! :D

Image

:D I like how I force you into things, too, kari. <3 ^^ *LOVE ON* Rephrase what you want, because I talk spaz and you don't. XD

Species: Parrot/Fish/Frog/Card Shark/Wtf Chimera
Gender: Either female or a VERY effeminate gender-neutral
Length (head to end of fleshy portion of tail): 4 1/2'
Color: Green and Black and Irridescent Grey (and purple. o_O worst eyeshadow job in the WORLD!)

Abilities: Knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, Air Breathing, Water Breathing, Flight, Water Reading (understands the seas and tides quite intimately)

Personality: I leave this in your very capable hands. X3

Notes: "28000" tattoo on right shoulder, and very green, just because. :D Despite having a scaled and finned tail, holds more in common with a frog than a fish in that it needs moisture but not necessarily water. Is quite happy to live in the shallows or ponds or whatever. Clearly this thing comes from your portion of my brain, since it has those detatched wings you're quite fond of. Um, also, the grey portion of its body is covered in irridescent scales that are bluer in the shadows. And yes, those /are/ a lot of feathers, aren't they? :D

Page it or don't. XD Enjoy! *LOVE ON MORE!*

Unikarinifulness!!

Image

Species: Bunny Dragon
Gender: Female

REQUIRES: Single bondmate, namesake, link back to VM, paging by Dec. 31, 2009 (I told you you'd want to kick me. ^_~ but you totally know this deal by now :D )

Color: White/black (O_o how do you keep getting blacks, you FLUFFNUT)
Type: Airbourne
Age: Budrage (Influential)

Abilities: Can influence the outcomes of events for the better for desired parties. In this way, she is something of a luck dragon, as any influence she wields over a party will seem just like good fortune. She knows better, however. Little things, like the flip of a coin, are easy. Larger events - the entire outcome of a war, for instance - are within her scope, but very draining and requiring constant attention, and she is less likely to use these abilities to that extent.

Gehenian: Image - Levi, male Satyr (personality up to you <3 )

Deviations from norm: Nose horn, feathered wings, tattoo on left ear reading "50404" (*FACEPALM* I forgot it, and I'm too lazy to rescan it. D'oh!), geometric patterning (IZ FRAKTALZ! HONESTS!! X3 )

Notes: With a primary color of white, this female is more at home with the ice and snow. With her secondary color of black, she is nurturing, caring, and giving. Taken together, she is one who will apply her quite scientific brain to the most morally good options available. Taken with the not!fractals on her folded wings, this can mean only one thing... ... CLEARLY SHE IS FROM LLIYANI!!! (XD at least she's not a pony? <3 ^^; ) She is large for her species, and she is far lighter on her feet than she looks. She sports little of the Airbourne qualities, but still loves flying more than anything. Her strange markings make her quite stand-out-ish in BD society, and they may well pass to her children (her colors and magic will not, as she is too much a BD for this to be otherwise.) Any clutches she has will need steel-trap bondmates, regardless of whether she breeds outside her species or not. She should totally make kids with or bond to a suva. Because I said so. XD *brat!*

*gigglesnickerLOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

*keep going back to staer at her*

*moar love!* XD

*dance around room*

She is -totally- gonna be bonded to one of my Sentinel suva. X3 They will patrol the slopes of this random snowy mountain for avalanches and rockslides and the like (invading armies on skiing elephants?). <3!

Also: OMG GEHENIAN!!! *GLEE!!!!!!!* :D! He's SO CUTE!! *would totally squeal aloud at this, but doesn't wanna wake Lilu, who she assumes is still sleeping in the room next door* ^.^;

Also!also: I would totally kick you if you hadn't just given me an idea for a story for her, so I suppose you escaped this time. *snrk* (Having an adult!BD who can/will make babies randomly is always a plus on your side, too. XD)

*GLEEEEE! at Uny!Glee* X3!!!!

Yeah, that's totally why she's a girl, akshuly. >__>; Because Suki is permamated to Robin in Nyx's head, but um, Nyx has not come to play in /ages/ on the intarwebs. And Shiva is STUCK in the Well. And Nymaane has not expressed desire for babies. And NO ONE ELSE has adult female BDs lying around. >__>;

Need excuse for lineages. *SHIFTY LOOK*

AM SO GLAD YOU LIKE!! :D (and yes, you needs the Gehenian. She's a Budrage. *STILL enjoys the absurdities that these things are* XD)

Gender: Female
Caste: Warrior of the Light
Karran Stones: 2 neck, 2 shoulder, 1 hand, 3 chest, 1 tail

Notes: I clearly was too busy going "HOW DO YOU WORK!? *SHAKE SHAKE!*" to remember the wordcount tats for her, too. *FACEPALM* You may choose to give her a 22k somewhere not visible in the drawings. Wherever you like, since I didn't leave much else up to you, did I? o_o; Sorry about that. <3

I think your plotline sounds really awesome, and I'm sorry you stalled on it. But it spoke to mine this year, which was destroying alien scourge with lancers, so Li'Avra stole my Lancers' costumes and messed with my head about it. XD; Um, enjoy?
