Posted May 13, 2021 when chatting on the "A-Z Fictional Characters" and you start to use names from a tv show you watched.... and now you're plotting dragons to reflect those characters. Share this post Link to post

Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) When you half-awaken in the middle of the night with an idea for a new name or naming-theme, and must make a note on your phone so you won't forget. When you are doing completely unrelated things (like walking the dog) and suddenly have an idea for a new lineage/collection/etc. edit: Uh, and when this happens: Edited June 29, 2021 by HeatherMarie Share this post Link to post
Posted August 7, 2021 (Hope it's okay to 'double-post' since it's been so long...) I found a whole new level of 'addicted to DC' recently: I've been going back and reading through really old forum threads, just for the nostalgia and seeing how things have changed over time. Especially in the Suggestions area, it's so interesting to read through suggestions made back in 2011 or 2015 or whatever (and seeing how many of them don't apply anymore because of other changes to the site...).

I do that with DC and other things too. About to go to sleep/trying, then I realize I need to make a note before I forget.

Ditto. Bonus points if you screencap or save threads.

When you start making punny names for your dragons. When you get so bored of being egg locked, you come to the forums as distraction instead. Guilty of all of these, though I'm screwing around on the forums right now when I'm not even egg-locked, just waiting between messages.

Lyyra is my mother's cat today, I had to leave her there when I moved away since she was very attached to that place and my family. Anyway, she's the cat in my avatar! Share this post Link to post

Interesting way to pick a name. Sorry she had to stay behind with your mom, but I hope she's happy and you get to visit her when you go over there. Share this post Link to post

We live in the same city. 😸 Currently, I have two cats, but they weren't named for any dragons. That made me think of something else, though... When you have a collection of dragons with "Stolen/Laid on" dates that are special to you personally (such as your birthday... or your cat's birthday!) Share this post Link to post

Do the birthdays of fictional characters count? I tend to do that more than with actual real life people. Share this post Link to post
