Comparisons to animals can be a good method to evoke a certain look and feel without spending too much time on description. "Sitting across from his mother was an elderly man in a doctor's uniform who bore a strong resemblance to a wrinkled old tortoise." (example from one of my stories) Some...

That sounds about right. I'm sure Iggy's collected at least that many staves. (Or...at least that many twigs. But twigs are just tiny staves, right? We can glue a pebble on top of each of them for extra staff-ness, if you want.)

Dragon hoard, definitely.

One of the dragons in my story likes to sing weird little songs/poems. Here's one of them: The Gryphon Egg Song I had a little gryphon egg. I put it in a hat. I asked him, "My good gryphon, sir, What do you think of that?" I told him he looked handsome. I told him he looked cute. And when he...

You know a lot of us have never been on the trending lists at all, right? You're going to get people throwing digital cabbages at your head if you complain too much. ???

I'm rather fond of octopus hats, myself. ?

That's a pretty good description. People definitely take things more seriously over there, for better or for worse. Go hang out on the RR forums for a while and watch for threads complaining about poor ratings and negative reviews/comments. There's no way to completely avoid haters, especially...

I recommend this chicken: It's 100% guaranteed to not be a novel. ...though it's only 58% guaranteed to be an actual chicken. Um...maybe don't turn your back on it...just in case....

I'm going to shamelessly self-promote, just because one of my novels is the only completed thing I've read in quite a while.... :sweat_smile: Shadow of Anaurian

As another member of the health-problems-and-stuff group, I assume I'll get killed off by something or other before the day's over. So. Later on, a nice passing necromancer can reanimate me. Then I can be a skeleton! I like skeletons. They never get tired, which is awesome. I'll work hard and...

He's currently an enchanter's assistant...which mostly means he makes snacks and chases the enchanter's baby dragon around.

As someone with chronic fatigue, just reading this thread makes me want to cry....

Pfft. Whatever. Fluffy dragons are amazing. I bet you're just jealous. :blob_teehee:

My dragons are little and cute and like chasing birds and building sandcastles and baking cookies. And also! Some of them are fluffy. So there. :blob_uwu: I think elves are kind of boring, at least in Asian fiction. They're all written pretty much the same. The other classic fantasy races are...

Hmm. Maybe he'll be less offended if I tell him that most of the chickens in my story (which is where the split second stasis magic thing came from) are actually bloodthirsty spectral beasts who disguise themselves as innocent chickens in order to sneak up on their unsuspecting prey? He's into...

*snaps fingers* There ya go. Frozen chicken. Analyze away.

Are you sure that's not just a chicken wearing glasses and a skimmer hat...? :blob_hmm_two:

Yes, he's a child. He'd be around 7 or 8 in human years. Sorry I didn't make that clear enough. And his character design is loosely based on a fennec fox, so yeah, he's all about being tiny and cute. If that's not your thing, then fair enough. Sounds like he's coming across as intended, at...

Hmm...looks fun. I'll give it a try. Name: Iggy (His registered name is Igneous, but he only gets called that when he's in trouble.) Appearance: A kitten-sized dragon with black scales, bat-like wings, deer-like ears, tiny horns, and bright orange eyes. He also has a long, thin tail that he...
