Posted December 5, 2013 I love how you do themed categories. Fingers crossed for a Romantic category come February! (Maybe you have to submit two dragons who are in love with each other? Oooh~ ) Username: angelicdragonpuppy Category: Funniest Dragon Name: Sir Whimbles Description Link: http://dragcave.net/lineage/mZfdn Username: angelicdragonpuppy Category: Most Original Dragon Name: Kiilens Description Link: http://dragcave.net/lineage/n/kiilens Username: angelicdragonpuppy Category: Most Festive Dragon Name: Pint Sized Pinata Description Link: http://dragcave.net/lineage/2NkUY I REGRET NOTHING.

Posted December 5, 2013 I'm already looking forward to voting on this again once voting opens. <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 5, 2013 OK, ADP has inspired me and I'm giving a forewarning now: February will have a category of "matching pair description" BUT and here's the twist - the two dragons need to be on different scrolls. So search yourself a partner and win that category together <3. Since most of you won't have descriptions falling into that category, I'm giving you a fair forewarning to get those gems written and approved Share this post Link to post
Posted December 5, 2013 Oh my. That sounds really exciting. I think I already have half a dragon that just needs to be described... now if only I can rope my girlfriend into it. Do you think the descriptions will be approved in time? Share this post Link to post
Posted December 5, 2013 Oooh~! Looks like I'll be submitting descriptions in February. My "partner" and I are already prepared. Oh my. That sounds really exciting. I think I already have half a dragon that just needs to be described... now if only I can rope my girlfriend into it. Do you think the descriptions will be approved in time? If you poke a mod after you write it and it's not last minute, it should be fine. If they know it's got a deadline, I'm sure they'll check it. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 5, 2013 Socky plans on killing the backlog before doing a dragon-description-month around February so ypur chances are pretty high. Also poking socks or Ruby works as well <3 Share this post Link to post

Posted December 25, 2013 Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to everyone. I know I said submissions would be closed on the 23rd, but with Christmas (and the few submissions we had) I decided to keep submissions open as long as the new Christmas eggs drop. Voting will beging right afterwards. So if you have a festive-funny-original-or-simply-great description you want to share here's your last minute chance <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 28, 2013 OK - no one took the opportunity But anyway... Let the voting commence. Each and every one of you is encouraged to read the submitted descriptions and either post their votes here or pm them to me. Sinve I allowed an expansion on submitting, voting will last until January 2nd included. Share this post Link to post
