Warning: Descriptons must be appropriate, and contain English only. Any descriptions found to violate these rules (E.G. descriptions containing swears, descriptions in other languages, or descriptions containing HTML/bbCode) will result in that dragon's death, and possibly the burning of your scroll.
Note: Descriptions require approval before they are displayed.

To ensure that your description is accepted, please read the Description Guidelines before giving your dragon a description.

Description:
"Hilarion is named for an Adept from Andre Norton's Witch World series. This Hilarion enjoys lying belly-flat on a cumulonimbus cloud to watch mortals flee from the driving rains. Perhaps, just perhaps, if you stayed to relish her watery gift she would enjoy your company . . . Just don't call her Hilary."

Description
"Dahaun is named for the Lady of the Green Silences from Andre Norton's Witch World series. This Dahaun has burrowed over an aquifer where she has used her vines to net and trap several species of blind fishes from the Abyssal depths of a far-off Sea. These fishes were carried inland through underground currents many centuries before and only the hardiest survived the change to fresh water. The stock is growing rather low, so Dahaun merely munches pensively on a specimen every fifty years or so, as a private treat. However, she remains confident another flood will renew her stock before too long."

Description:
"Kaththea is named for a Sorceress in Andre Norton's Witch World series. This Kaththea has no witchly abilities whatsoever, but her companions do say her ability to arrange flowers is almost magical in itself. She spends time noting the effect of different herbs on her friends, and stacks "bouquets" in her corner of the Cave accordingly."

User Comments
* Abstain: Without this phrase (in Andre Norton's Witch World series), I like it.
* Reject: reference to an actual book
* Reject: F -Incorrect setting- Modern references

And on the "Description Guidelines":
Please note that descriptions do not have to be in-depth. The following is a perfectly acceptable description:
"Fromage, as a Cheese Dragon, was named after the French word for "Cheese." He is very paranoid and constantly fears that T.J.'s other dragons are plotting to eat him when he's not looking."

I can only hope the actual moderators are not so ridiculous.

I really need to stop doing anything with this site that has to do whatsoever with trying to interact with the insipid people who frequent it. This is getting pretty ridiculous! I mean people think EoFF has it bad with people having their heads up their asses, but that is some sort of miniscule fraction of this headupassery, I hope! I mean sheesh.

I don't even understand those comments.
OMG YOU NAMED YOUR DRAGON AFTER A CHARACTER IN A BOOK BOO FUCKING HOO.
Srsly?
Maybe you should just make up random names like "Fjhkjha" or "Ysnajshk" to stop that bullshit.

I don't get "Accept: 'fishes' should be 'fish' on both occasions." Cause why Accept if they have a problem with it? XD

Because it was just helpful critique rather than shitting on her descriptions like everyone else?

Indeed ^^ Though I suppose what I meant was, they still weren't saying what they liked about it, which seems out of place with an "Accept". Though, I'm sure the helpfulness was much appreciated =3

It's not very helpful when it was intentional, you know, to build the feeling of the archaic setting.

Honestly I thought "fishes" was an acceptable variant of the plural anyway >.>
