"Ghosts of Christmas Past" Group Lineage Project

Recommended Posts

Thanks to the lovely 2nd gen Shadow Walkers I received this year I can now add my Yule buck and Snow Angel to holiday breeding instead of them only being perennial.

 

BAH!

I know the Shadow Walker's name is a stretch xd.png but since I do try to make sure my dragons are named appropriately, I thought I'd include the explanation ^^ I really wanted to pull it's code (YJAGS) in to it's naming since it so amused the creator of this wonderful project, so I picked the scientific family for cats and went searching to see if by some crazy chance cats played into A Christmas Carol. I found one mention of them when the Ghost of Christmas yet to come takes Scrooge to his house to view his corpse.

He recoiled in terror, for the scene had changed, and now he almost touched a bed: a bare, uncurtained bed: on which, beneath a ragged sheet, there lay a something covered up, which, though it was dumb, announced itself in awful language.

 

The room was very dark, too dark to be observed with any accuracy, though Scrooge glanced round it in obedience to a secret impulse, anxious to know what kind of room it was. A pale light, rising in the outer air, fell straight upon the bed; and on it, plundered and bereft, unwatched, unwept, uncared for, was the body of this man.

 

Scrooge glanced towards the Phantom. Its steady hand was pointed to the head. The cover was so carelessly adjusted that the slightest raising of it, the motion of a finger upon Scrooge's part, would have disclosed the face. He thought of it, felt how easy it would be to do, and longed to do it; but had no more power to withdraw the veil than to dismiss the spectre at his side.

 

Oh cold, cold, rigid, dreadful Death, set up thine altar here, and dress it with such terrors as thou hast at thy command: for this is thy dominion. But of the loved, revered, and honoured head, thou canst not turn one hair to thy dread purposes, or make one feature odious. It is not that the hand is heavy and will fall down when released; it is not that the heart and pulse are still; but that the hand was open, generous, and true; the heart brave, warm, and tender; and the pulse a man's. Strike, Shadow, strike. And see his good deeds springing from the wound, to sow the world with life immortal.

 

No voice pronounced these words in Scrooge's ears, and yet he heard them when he looked upon the bed. He thought, if this man could be raised up now, what would be his foremost thoughts. Avarice, hard-dealing, griping cares. They have brought him to a rich end, truly.

 

He lay, in the dark empty house, with not a man, a woman, or a child, to say that he was kind to me in this or that, and for the memory of one kind word I will be kind to him. A cat was tearing at the door, and there was a sound of gnawing rats beneath the hearth-stone. What they wanted in the room of death, and why they were so restless and disturbed, Scrooge did not dare to think.

 

And also now that Halloween is over, I'm going to start test breeding my Holidays and new perennial mates smile.gif

 

First test breeding claimed ^^

 

Also, Panthera, I am really really sorry ^^; I need to update my pairs again, I forgot who was who and got a little over enthusiastic putting them together, and had at least one dragon with two seasonal partners. So here are the correct pairings:

Haunted Mattress x Presents of Change (Christmas only pairing)

Chains of the Dead x The bell tolls for thee (Both Halloween and Christmas)

Din Linnod (only perennial)

 

Lookit ^^ I thought since I keep switching things around an already had all the links handy in my post, I went ahead and put it in your format for you ^^

I can breed you a mate for that Shadow Walker ^^ He wasn't in the mood yesterday when I was test breeding, so I'll have to try again next week. ^^

I don't see why not, nearly all of my dragons have holiday mates (other holidays) and perennial mates, I'm working on getting them a perennial mates of just about all the allowed breeds in fact ^^

I'm posting a very quick note, as I need to run to a meeting then dinner, but I didn't want to be remiss in my gratitude. Thank you all for registering and offering such beauties to the project! I'll have them all added to the first posts as soon as possible.

 

And...Wanderer, that has to be one of the sweetest posts, names given to a dragon, and formatting I've seen. ;A; If I could hug you right now, I would. xd.png That passage is one of my favorites, you can almost taste Scrooge's apprehension. I'm honored you put that thought into that name. ohmy.gifwub.gif

 

Again, I'll update ASAP, hopefully the earliest by tonight.

 

EDIT: And, QAndais, sure thing about the mate! There is no requirement to permanently mate your dragon to another, so feel free to create lineages with any other allowable breeds. If you think another breed should be added to the list, feel free to post and we can discuss. smile.gif

^^ I'm glad you like it biggrin.gif I couldn't just let that code go un-honored after it amused you so, I was just so relieved there was even a mention of a feline in the story, and as a bonus, I really thought the cat's role, showing up when he was dead and the house full of ghosts of memories, fit in with the Shadow Walker theme ^^

First off, apologies for not being as prompt as I should be with updating the lists... The past week and a half got away from me. What lovely, mandrakekeeper! Grats on that pretty little one. laugh.gif And, Wanderer, that is a gorgeous Autumn. I'll give other members another day to offer, then (if still not claimed by this time tomorrow), I'll definitely put an AP egg offer and give that pretty a loving home. wub.gif

 

Also, I actually have a request!

UPDATES!

Forms

The first page is now spiffier, with updated forms! Please do use them, as this will make it easier for me to ID who's requesting / donating / received eggs, etc. Of course, the majority of exchange convos happen over PM, but I think it'd be fun to also show off in the thread what you've gifted / received. laugh.gif

 

Perennial Lists

So...I never did move the lists for Perennial Requests / listers. Sorry about that, November got the best of me. But, I did update them through the archived links! So, if you have Perennial Requests, please peruse the lists there. Which leads me to...

 

Christmas Prep!

2012 Christmas Request and Entry lists will be opening this Saturday, 1 December - Saturday, 15 December! A little over 2 weeks to make your requests, or add any dragons to donate! I hope this will be sufficient--I'm travelling in early December, and again between 17-18 December, so do need the extra time to organize things before Christmas breeding week begins. This also means you have until then to make your Perennial Requests; the Perennial lists will reopen sometime around the New Year.

 

For those new to the project, some brief orientation

•When you make your request here, I'll add you to the Christmas 2012 list. Then, once the lists are closed on 15 December, I'll spend the next few days organizing pairs for the exchange. I'll contact everyone via PM to let you know of your partners. Once Christmas breeding opens, it'll be up to you and your gifter to arrange the exchange date and time. I'll repeat the rules once we get closer to exchanges, too.

 

•Take a look at the Breeder List on the first page for an idea of what we can offer. We do have some awesome lineages in the works, thanks to the multi-year effort of several listers (e.g., Christmas x Shadow Walker checkers; possible Christmas dragons from mixed breed even gens). If something specific strikes your fancy, make sure to request in your form and mention the breeder or post the lineage of your desired pairings!

 

•Just as fair warning, Hollies are in short supply all-around, so if you request a Holly here, I'd recommend making a back-up request just to ensure you'll be gifted something through the project. smile.gif

 

I think that's it for now. Feel free to post here or PM with questions or comments. Thanks so much guys, I can't wait to get started! xd.png

I saw Christmas Requests open up December 1'st. So can anyone request them or only the breeders from each other? Cause if anyone can then I can expect all the requests to go fast! I'll be ready.

No worries, mandrakekeeper! Sorry if there was confusion. xd.png

 

And, REDBULL, anyone who'll become a member of the project can request! laugh.gif As I write in the PMs to all first-time requesters, I'd just like to see at least one of the offspring gifted back to the thread, and of course more if there are requests or needs for them. Last year, Christmas requests did go quickly--but we fortunately had an awesome base of breeders available to help out with the 2nd gen Christmas dragons. I hope to see some requests for 3rd gens this time around, considering the lovely checkers / mixed breed lineages we can now make. smile.gif

Just realized how close it is to opening of Christmas requests and thought I had better let you all know about my new 2nd gen Shadow Walkers even though I don't have them named yet. Now with names! biggrin.gif

i just realized how far behind i am in my registering my dragons. i have a ton of them since i'm been working on that particular lineage. of course none of them are named correctly yet. i have them named to help keep the confusion down to a minimum while i'm building it. since i took a break from DC, I'm still working on the little bugger bear but i guess that is good since i was actually needing another Christmas dragon as a base for part of it so i will be able to make it the way i want rather than have a section i really didn't care for. smile.gif

 

i also have a 11 2nd gen SW with a variety of partners: silver, gold, stripe, royal blue, nebula, yulebuck, and ribbondancer. i'll register them as soon as i can also.

I tried breeding Temsik and MIZKI a couple of times, but I didn't get an egg from the two yet... I'll try again after their cooldown time expires (already used a purple dragon 4 days too early, xd.png).

 

Also, I had a complete lolfail moment while sorting out which holiday dragons were eligible and blanked out at least two CB dragons on pure accident... xd.png Thankfully the breed limits page allows me to keep track of them.

There is one 2nd-gen Ribbon Dancer that I have that I kind of was wondering about as far as eligibility, since one of her parents was not on the eligible breeds list (her father's a Sunsong Amphipter, just so you know).

Updated to here!

 

Thanks for adding dragons and your requests, guys! I see a few Holly requests--I'll do my best to drum up business from potential donors, but again as fair warning I can't guarantee delivery. But, worth a shot! laugh.gif

 

mandrakekeeper, thanks and I look forward to registering your new pretties (no rush, of course!). smile.gif Welcome back!

Kimoko_the_Dragon, interesting regarding the Sunsong Amphiptere (and quite pretty pairing with Ribbon Dancer!). I can see the breed representing the dawn of Christmas morning, when Scrooge awakens from his journeys with a newfound perspective. What do other listers think of this breed addition? smile.gif (Also, sidenote: I went through my scroll and embarrassingly enough, realized I have not a single individual of this breed... ohmy.gif I must remedy this!)

REDBULL, I've held off on entering your request to the list as we don't have Heartseekers currently on the approved breeds list. I'd like to also discuss with listers about entering this breed into the project? How might this breed fit into Scrooge's storyline? xd.png

•I'm also holding off on adding the Marrow x Snow Angel request, teresadurfin, but have entered your Shadow Walker request to the list. Again, breed additions are open for discussion! laugh.gif

 

Thanks, guys! I look forward to your feedback on the potential additions of Sunsongs, Heartseekers, and / or Marrows to the project. How might the breeds represent the various aspects of this story?

Ahhh of course! Sorry I hadn't seen that before. Sorry for the mistake so instead of the Heartseeker I want to replace both of my requests(Preferred and back up) with Golden Wyvern.

However I would love for Heartseeker to be on the Approved breeds list! I even figured out how it will fit in with Scrooge's story!

Heartseeker(The sweet aroma of Christmas Spirit:Scrooge's discovery of the true love of Christmas)

Open for discussion?
