Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) After a one month hiatus we're back Welcome to the Description of the Month contest! About Rules Know-how on Voting Current Entries Past winners About Inspired by Description Day, this is a newly run contest to acknowledge all the brilliantly written descriptions out there! What's there to gain from it? Well, your fellow users will be able to see your incredible writing skills and bragging rights There are three categories: Most Original, Funniest, and Best Overall. Attention: In tradition with the original thread we have an ADDITIONAL category in February: "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. To qualify the dragons NEED to refer to each other in their descriptions (either by name or by a shared backstory) and ideally they should be a pair in the romantic sense). Do you think YOUR description is awesome? Think it deserves recognition? Go ahead and nominate it! Rules * You may enter one dragon description per category (This rule applies to only nominating your own dragons) * You may enter another user's description if you think it's good enough and deserves recognition * Please make sure your scroll name is visible on dragon pages if you wish to submit your own dragons! (that way we can make sure users don't enter dozens of their own dragons :3 You can re-hide your scroll after approval) *Nominations will be available for entry from the 1st to the 23rd of each month *Voting will be held on the last week of each month (make sure to participate!) *Please use this format when entering your dragons: Username: Category: Dragon Name: Description Link: -LINEAGE link here- Edit: No one is allowed to vote for their own descriptions, once voting comes along, for obvious reasons Know-how On Voting Beginning from the 23rd of each months until the end, voting will be held for the best description in each category!

Posted February 2, 2014 Oh boy, I was waiting for this one. Not going to win, but had a huge amount of fun preparing for this one. Username: pinkgothic & Sethiss Category: Best pair descriptions Dragon Name: Neike Taika-Tessaro, Rehchoortahn & Morgrim Description Link: Neike Taika-Tessaro, Rehchoortahn & Morgrim. *squints* Although, did you say 'two'? You can disqualify the entry, I won't be upset. *laughs* I just had to organise these. Rehchoortahn sadly doesn't have a Dragon Cave account or it'd be three scrolls and not 'just' three dragons... oh well. Username: pinkgothic Category: Most Original Dragon Name: Terebinth Aru'ak Description Link: Terebinth Aru'ak I don't know if I submitted this fellow before; figure I might as well. (For the record, Terebinth really is the first publically recorded offspring from a turpentine x moonstone pair; I'm super happy to have him, he's the only dragon of historical significance on my scroll. ) As usual, I have nothing for the funny category, and I'm generally out of reasonable descriptions for 'Best Overall'. (I just ain't going to top Karyorrhexis any time soon.) Share this post Link to post
Posted February 2, 2014 That's some intense stat collecting, pinkgothic. Also I doubt you'll be disqualified, lol ___________________________________________________________ Asdf fine I'll submit some this time. But I'm only doing it because I'll feel bad if I don't submit Derk and Himar and I might as well do the other categories while I'm at it. Submitting things makes me extremely nervous. :/ Username: Dimar & Herk (I'm the one submitting them, since Herk's the host. If anyone has issues with this, please speak up.) Category: Best Pair Descriptions Dragon Name: MM Derk & Himar CB Description Link: Derk & Himar Username: Dimar Category: Funniest Dragon Name: MM The Reincarnated Sock Description Link: I guess it's funny if you know Sock. idk Username: Dimar Category: Most Original Dragon Name: MM Eyebrow Whip Description Link: I guess it's original because I've never seen another description about murder and eyebrows and whips. Username: Dimar Category: Best Overall Dragon Name: MM Sweetly Treasured Description Link: Treasure Pretty much all of my descriptions are really strange and based on inside jokes, so deciding which to submit is hard. *walks away hyperventilating* Share this post Link to post
Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) This is my first time submitting anything and, like Dimar, I'm feeling rather nervous about it. Anyway, good luck to everyone!

Posted February 3, 2014 Okay, fine. I'll take my chances with this again. Username: Azila Category: Most Original Dragon Name: Kamikaze Airplanes In The Sky Description Link: http://www.dragcave.net/lineage/j1p0 Username: Azila Category: Best Overall Dragon Name: Anjum Description Link: http://www.dragcave.net/view/4Dn1 Username: Azila Category: Funniest Dragon Name: Saint Witch-hazel Description Link: http://www.dragcave.net/lineage/3oNS I did have a hard time searching for funniest and best overall, but I believe that I made the right choice. So.....those are my two cents, but good luck to everyone who enters! (On a side note, do we get badges or some such thing for the last DotM, or do we just get the privilege of knowing we won our category? Since I'm a bit....confused by all of that, to be honest. ) Share this post Link to post

Since I'm a bit....confused by all of that, to be honest. ) At the moment there's just the satisfaction of winning, though I feel like I've seen badges or plaques from the original contest... Herk obvs would have to be asked, but I don't think she'd be against the idea if anyone happens to have any skill at making badges. I think it's a good idea. x3 Share this post Link to post
Posted February 3, 2014 Dimar your descriptions are cute, especially the pairing and terrifically nonsensical eyebrow one Some type of badge / prize would be neat, if it could be arranged. Share this post Link to post

Herk obvs would have to be asked, but I don't think she'd be against the idea if anyone happens to have any skill at making badges. I think it's a good idea. x3 *points to sig* Back when Grish still ran the contest, they made custom badges for the winners... there was one for each category with the dragon's name below. Unfortunately the contest only ran for three months before Grish disappeared. I think it would be great if someone would make badges again. They don't have to be personalized, just a cute little image to stick in our signatures. Herk: About the pair category, would these two count? Share this post Link to post
Posted February 3, 2014 Ah. Thanks for clarifying all of that, since I saw the badges in Hawktalon's signature and was kind of like 'whut'. Dang it, if I had any sort of badge-making skills I would totally make some. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 3, 2014 I guess I'll enter, as a few of my descriptions were approved while I was more inactive.

Posted February 15, 2014 Ooops I forgot about this. Thanks for voting on my dragons for December's contest, everyone! Username: Hawktalon Category: Most Original Dragon Name: Lunistaya Description Link: Lunistaya Okay Luna, let's try this again.

Username: Hawktalon, Herk Category: Best Pair Dragons Dragon Name: Laraka, Daemon Di Description Link: Laraka, Daemon Di I don't know if these two will count, especially since one is Herk's. But it's worth a try. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Voting is open You have one week to vote. Please remember not to vote for your own descriptions. you can vote here or send me a pm Sorry Sister - but as far as I can tell your dragons are on the same scroll, so you didn't qualify for the "pair" category.

Posted February 23, 2014 Category: Funniest Dragon/Owner's name: MM The Reincarnated Sock / Dimar Comments (only if you want to): It's not easy being a sock! X'D I really liked Napoleon's, too. Category: Most Original Dragon/Owner's name: MM Eyebrow Whip / Dimar Comments (only if you want to): Quite possibly the most majestic description I have ever read. Sacred Texts was really cute as well but I think Dimar's is more "original"... in a terrifying type of way. X'DD Category: Best Pair Descriptions Dragon/Owner's name: Derk & Himar / Dimar & Herk Comments (only if you want to): No Dimar stop stealing all my votes but seriously I can't stop laughing because Derk hahaha YOU TWO KNOW WHY Category: Best Overall Dragon/Owner's name: MM Sweetly Treasured / Dimar Comments (only if you want to): *flips table* DARN IT DIMAR but seriously what a cutie pie dflkjdflkjdf yes come lead me to Herktopia / Quo Vadis and Glyth were really nice too! I don't think I've seen you enter descriptions before, sister--looks like you're going to be stiff competition for the rest of us! MM Sweetly Treasured Share this post Link to post
Posted February 23, 2014 Category: Funniest Dragon/Owner's name: MM The Reincarnated Sock/Dimar Comments (only if you want to): It was tough to pick between this lady and Napoleon Rouge. I really wish I could split my vote. Category: Most Original Dragon/Owner's name: I would like to be a tree/Hazel360 Comments (only if you want to): Again, tough choice. Wish I could split my vote for this category so Lord of the Blackwood and MM Eyebrow Whip could get some love, too. Category: Best pair descriptions Dragon/Owner's name: Laraka and Daemon Di/Hawktalon and Herk Comments (only if you want to): Ooh, sneaky. Apparently, I can only vote for herk. Category: Best Overall Dragon/Owner's name: Glyth/Hawktalon Comments (only if you want to): Yep, it's official. Too many good submissions this time around. Would love to split my vote 50% to Lost Ocean, but alas. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 26, 2014 Just a quick heads up: I will be without internet from tomorrow until Monday, so the results will be posted then. Please make sure to vote in time though Share this post Link to post
Posted February 27, 2014 Category: Funniest Dragon/Owner's name: Flutterdie/ADP Comments (only if you want to): I laughed so hard when I read this. Your Duotones are ridiculously hilarious. Category: Most Original Dragon/Owner's name: MM Eyebrow Whip/Dimar Comments (only if you want to): I never thought eyebrows could be so terrifying... Category: Best Pair Dragon/Owner's name: Derk, Himar/Dimar, Herk Comments (only if you want to): D'waaaaa *hugs poor dragons* Category: Best Overall Dragon/Owner's name: Quo Vadis/sister Comments (only if you want to): That poor Frill! *snif* Thanks for the vote, pinkgothic!

Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Voting is closed! Results are as followed: Funniest: split between MM The Reincarnated Sock by Dimar Flutterdie by ADP Most Orginial: MM Eyebrow Whip by Dimar I always say the descripdoom channel is a well of weird ideas Best Pair: Derk & Himar by Dimar & Herk OK maybe it was a bit unfair to let the inspiration for the category participate Best overall: Quo Vadis by Sister Like always we had a lot of great entries and it was a joy that so many of you participate, especially new faces. See you in the March thread. Edited March 3, 2014 by herk Share this post Link to post
Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) D'aww thanks for the votes guys. <3 And no, Herk! If Derk and Himar hadn't won it would've been very sad indeed. They've been our babies since we got married, after all. edit because the smiley snuck onto its own line Edited March 4, 2014 by Dimar Share this post Link to post
