[Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Catriona-Thyme — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 16:33:20 -0500

You have a NaNoWriMo Angel standing by, ready to intervene should start to delete a sentence from your novel. A Hellhound guards your words from evil novel-thieves and chases away your Procrastination Demon when it tries to sneak back in after being banished. But how can these help you if you don't write anything? Enter the Wordcount Dragon. These lovely creatures subsist entirely off of the creative energy generated by your wordcount as it steadily rises over the course of November. They love it when you build up a surplus of tasty wordage, and are generally content as long as your wordcount stays on track. But, every day that you fail to reach your minimum goal, your dragon starves. And a starving dragon will resort to eating anything it can get its scaly little claws on. To demonstrate, let me provide you with part of the transcript from a recording of a dragon-owning Wrimo who failed to reach her wordcount goals two days in a row: "... Alright, yes, I'm doing it, you don't have to be so destructive. Just let me ... For God's sake, stop! Stop! I ... No! Sit down! Now stay. I'm ... No, don't eat the notebook. I need the notebook, give me the notebook [tearing sounds] Stay! Bad boy! Just wait a moment and let me -- No. No! NOT THE COFFEE! NOOOOO!" Ahem. Should you decide to adopt your very own Wordcount Dragon, I think you will find him or her to be very effective in helping you to stay on track during the coming month. To start things off, I'm putting Kreki up for adoption. Kreki is a light golden-brown dragon, with a large wingspan for his size and hand-like foreclaws that are very adept at opening things that you tried to lock shut. About the size of a house cat, he likes to sit on your desk and watch you expectantly when you play computer games instead of writing your novel.

I shall adopt Kreki, and he shall be my Kreki! Leaving: Draco, a very large purple dragon. Draco is very self absorbed. He's incredibly intellegint and strong, and he knows it. Just about nothing scares him. Except starvation. So keep up you word count, or he'll come for revenge. He loves reading the novel before eating the words.

Leaving: Gregory, a small, very spikey, very adorable, very bad tempered turquoise dragon that is most comfortable when inside your bedside lampshade or ceiling lamp, provided the lamp / other light fixture is on. He is awake from the moment you begin writing, to the moment you fulfill your word count target. Should you dare to turn a light off and attempt sleep before reaching your minimum word count each day, Gregory will sneak into your bed and curl his very very spikey body around your big toe with an incredibly tight grip. He will not leave until fed, and if not fed, will begin to slowly consume your feet. He has been known to eat entire people. Be afraid. I'll miss young Gregory, but I'm sure he can find a lovely word-eating home with a generous novelist.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

KikiBee23 — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:08:44 -0500

I'll gladly take little Gregory. He sounds just precious and might even find himself becoming overstuffed with delicious words. Leaving : Jaxie She is a tiny dragon, one that loves to lay on your keyboard during the moments where you are pausing for more words. She enjoys tossing puffs of fire into the air and is generally cute and cuddly. If you get behind on your word count though, she becomes very feisty. She tends to burn anything she lands on until the words are flowing again. She is sure to help along the more timid NaNoer's as she wouldn't ever hurt a human, and doesn't want to mess up anything you are working on...just what it rests on. :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Silverblown — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:35:30 -0500

I just have to have Jaxie. U___U She's absolutely adorable. Chapter is a rather fine but shy little stone dragon. He may be small in dragon-terms, but he stands up to your thigh and weighs about the same as a Saint-Bernard. He loves reading, his favourite books being those his owner has written, but when left to his own devices without anything to read, he will proceed to eat whatever food he can find. Actually, scratch that. Unlike other Wordcount dragons, he is the most pickiest eater you will ever meet and will whine and demand most rudely for the finest beef steafs, the juiciest peaches, the loveliest shrimp dinners you can find. Really, it's almost worse than an ordinary Wordcount dragon so keep that wordcount up.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Silverblown — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:36:11 -0500

*beef steaks x.x...

Anybody got a sweet little fella who is more cat than dragon? I've been looking to adopt. :D

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

lalodragon — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:08:28 -0500

MINE. He sounds an awful lot like my MMC. He may end up with a different name, though. I'm sorry for that. I have nothing to leave. :o

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Sophsoph97 — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:09:06 -0500

Feline-ish I mean. :P

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

writingismydrug — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:09:12 -0500

I'll take Jaxie considering I eat the same things and overall we seem to be similar, well, except he's a dragon and I'm a writer with wordcount issues

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

KikiBee23 — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:19:59 -0500

Take care of her :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

KikiBee23 — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:22:34 -0500

You could always try Winthrop. He's about the size of a new-born kitten with a longer tail than most. He enjoys jumping onto ceiling fans although you might have to help him down as his wings are such flimsy things. He has green-blue eyes. He's is cuddly until you miss your word count goal. That's when his wings start flittering madly and he tends to turn red. He'll nibble on your fingers until you begin writing again. He's not afraid of blood...or bone.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

AUSTERE — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:25:19 -0500

-wants a dragon- they all sound so precious. ): Leaving: Chusi. She looks like a sweet little dark indigo dragon, and she is, she's just . . . temperamental. She has a larger wingspan than she can handle (she's growing quite fast and might require you to go beyond the daily word count to satisfy her hunter!) which makes her rather clumsy. She doesn't really like angels; she's been known to snap at them. She likes her food still living... Anyway, she's very curious and gets herself in more trouble than most other dragons might. Chusi loves her solitude and is very catlike, minus the dainty and graceful bit. She loves to cuddle and enjoys eating out of the palm of your hand if you can stand the gore. As for reading, she likes reading, but she is rather violent and she HATES the books that portray dragons that 1. get slaughtered by "handsome" princes (please! they should be the ones slaughtered and how would a little iron shield protect them anyway?) 2. like dumb pack animals. So if you know what's good for you and don't want to find your house burnt down the next morning, don't portray dragons as dumb animals that can get slaughtered by a prince that's 10x smaller than they are.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Naona — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:29:24 -0500

I would love to adopt her :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

AUSTERE — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:31:21 -0500

Lovely :) She needs a good home. x3

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Sophsoph97 — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:11:17 -0500

Perfect! I'll take him! :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

CiraE.Halder — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:19:28 -0500

Wanted: Small dragon that doesn't miond angels or dogs or cats

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

piccolafata — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:25:00 -0500

KiKiBee23: I am totally adopting Jaxie. Silverblown and I will just have to share her :) Leaving: Amber. She the perfect size to curl up on your notebook, and has brilliant golden scales, but don't mistake her for a cute little puffball. She WILL steal your coffee if you don't meet your word goal. And heaven knows that none of us Nanowrimo's want that. She's thin, like a chinese dragon, but has no whiskers. Her big purple eyes have the power to compel your to write. Just remember that she can breath fire while you're searching the web... Take care of her! This is such a cute thread!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

CiraE.Halder — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:33:35 -0500

Oh! She sounds perfect! I'll adopt her. :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Jazmyn_Zorrin — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:38:24 -0500

Leaving: Sharley. A very independent dragon, one who will often disappear when unneeded to do her own thing, but shows up when needed most. Her favorite food is shredded writer's block with a sprinkling of inspiration. When your daily word count drops below 700, she thinks that it is the computer/notebooks fault and starts chewing on the corners. :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

NerdlyLindsey — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:59:42 -0500

None of them really fit me now so I'll just leave one! Troy- Troy is an adorable little sea serpent, if you adopt him you can keep him in a cup of water by your computer or notebook. If you start dozing or daydreaming, he'll squirt you with a jet of water to help you focus. If you leave your means of writing for an extended period of time and you're behind your word count, you make come back to find them soaked. (I suggest waterproofing!) And if you think you're safe from him if you go to bed without finishing your minimum amount of words because he lives in a glass of water, think again! He'll unfold the tiniest of wings on his back and flutter over to your bed and start noming you, which I can imagine wouldn't be very pleasant. When you aren't behind on your word count, he'll spend his time swimming in his little cup of water, making whirlpools and blowing air bubbles!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Fluffy-Dog-Girl — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:59:53 -0500

I'll take her! She sounds adorable. Mind if I color her purple with blue eyes? It's similar to my main character's hair and eye color, and would definitely help motivate me. And of course I wouldn't want her chewing on my laptop edges XD

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

AUSTERE — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:05:45 -0500

I'd love to adopt Troy! He sounds perfect! :) Leaving: Eildu. Eildu is a hyper little thing. He might distract you from typing until he gets hungry, which means: watch out! His favorite snacks are dogs or cats, so he won't be good around those animals if you have them. He's a rather large dragon, perhaps the size of a german shepherd and still growing! He tries to hide in places he can't fit when he's in trouble. Anyway, Eildu is a lavender color which doesn't make him that fearsome until he growls. He's still teething, so enjoy! If you're behind on your word count, you might end up feeling nibbles on your arms until you feed him.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

NerdlyLindsey — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 21:17:04 -0500

I have another one up for adoption! Rawry- Rawry is a golden dragon around the size of a large cat and is a real character. He came up with his own name by himself and thinks its really clever (Get it cause dragons, RAWR!) Never call him by his real name or he'll get really mad, he hates it. (I won't even tell you for your own protection.) Although he may freak out about his name, he is very gentle. He isn't all that into devouring everything in his path to get you to continue writing, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own ways to motivate you to write. He will billow smoke out of his nostrils as a warning sign when you get distracted. Despite his name, he'll hiss at you threateningly if you even think about stopping before you reach your minimum word count. And if you ignore his hissing and go to bed, he'll join you but only to tickle you with the end of his tail, urging you to get up and continue writing. When your writing at a suitable pace for Rawry's liking, he's been known to chase his own tail and trying to make pictures out of the fire he breathes.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

AMoonyMonster — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 21:29:57 -0500

OOH, I want Rawry! HE SHALL BE MY RAWRY! :D Leaving: Cucumber, a small, green dragon. When you're up to speed on wordcount, she appears to be very nice, and she enjoys sitting in your lap and dozing. However, don't let her size fool you, for if she hears you stop typing, she's known to get a little nasty. She carefully monitors your wordcount, and if you fall behind, she... well, her previous owner gave her to me when they had to check in to the asylum. However, if you can manage to keep up on wordcount, she's very sweet, and sometimes when you get ahead, she'll even let you have some coffee without growling at you!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Element-weaver — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 21:43:37 -0500

Awww I would love to adopt Chapter ^^ He'll get along well with the other dragon that has recently brought himself to my attention by adopting me, rather than me adopting him. I promise he's going to a good home!! He shall be well fed :)

Fantasy Geek — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 22:04:29 -0500

Looking for: mild-mannered dragon who is understanding of my schedule. As an engineering major who is participating in Humans vs Zombies this week, I may get behind on my wordcount for the first few days and have to catch up on weekends. I'd like a dragon who takes that into account before motivating me. Leaving: Kiri, a tiny dragon (about two inches tall). She loves to sit on her author's shoulder while they're typing. She may bite your ear if you delete a word. Favorite foods include grilled cheese and chocolate. If you fall behind on word count, she will kidnap your favorite snacks and refuse to give them back until you have caught up. If you take too long, she will get bored and eat the snacks. Kiri has been known to lounge on keyboards when authors go on Facebook (but only if they're behind on their word count).

LOOKING FOR: A black french dragon by the name of Long Kai Duan, he ran away after he was scared and he hasnt returned. he always kept me on track but now he's gone i'm a little lost. He looks a little like this: http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=black+french+dragon&um=1&hl=en&safe=active&sa=N&biw=1440&bih=635&tbm=isch&tbnid=l23LukiXNa4g7M:&imgrefurl=http://marryqueen.wordpress.com/&docid=0TEXg__eU2prBM&imgurl=http://marryqueen.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/black-dragon-wallpapers_6364_1024.jpg%253Fw%253D300%2526h%253D225&w=300&h=224&ei=lBGuTqzwF6690QGjrq2RDw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=478&sig=107360224508205967769&page=3&tbnh=132&tbnw=179&start=53&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:53&tx=121&ty=46

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

NerdlyLindsey — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 22:32:24 -0500

How about we do a trade? I'll adopt Kiri and you can take Disco! Disco is blue dragon, about the size of medium size dog and looks like the Chinese dragons. Disco is extremely intelligent and fiercely loyal. He will make special, strong connections to his new owner. He'll understand if his owner is behind on his words because he is busy because he trust his owner will make it up. (And if he is provided snacks to keep him from getting hungry because of the lack of words) Its only when the word count is behind because of his owners laziness does he get annoyed. He'll burn the edges of your notebooks to try and convince you to keep writing. He enjoys to read, everything and anything, and curl up in your lap to take naps being soothed to sleep by the sounds of your fingers moving on the keyboard, if he hears it stop, he'll wake up and motivate you to finish your word count.

Septimus-Sage — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 22:41:13 -0500

Kiri sounds amazing i must have him, oh pretty please.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

NerdlyLindsey — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 22:58:04 -0500

Le sigh, you can have Kiri if you like him so much! I can wait for an even better match.Or maybe I'll make up my own, I'm apparently good at coming up with dragons. Maybe I should change my story and write a fantasy.....

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Rainabraina — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:22:39 -0500

I'll take her! I'll make sure she's really happy and healthy!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

wyngedwynter — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:07:52 -0500

I have one to leave, for some loving person to take! Meet Lexi, the great lavender dragon! She's really cute and small, about the size of a half grown cat, though her wingspan is a bit big for her size... She loves to curl up on the desk next to those who like to write and wait for them to finish their writing for the day, though if you don't make it to your minimum wordcount, she will glare daggers at you from one half opened eye untill you sit down and finish. She has had a great time accompanying me on several adventures, and I think it's about time that she finds another person who's company she can enjoy. I don't write enough to satisfy her. She says I draw too much...

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Netherworld_Inc — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:13:28 -0500

I'm leaving Darling: He's very grumpy when he isn't fed, and he'll sit on top of your computer and/or notepad and whine loudly until you write more. He's a pretty turquoisey blue with ruby eyes that turn orange when he drinks too much soda. He's rather young, but he's loyal, and he'll sit in your lap if you'll let him. His favorite food, other than words, is marshmallows, so you can throw some at him to keep him from complaining while you take your daily five-minute break from novelling. He's never quite managed to breathe fire, but he can muster up a lovely Febreeze sort of smoke to freshen up your stale, thought-clustered air. He will also injure anyone who dares to interrupt your creative process.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Prinkes — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:18:52 -0500

I'll adopt Darling! And I leave Jem and Nigh: a two-headed dragon. Nigh is smarter, but Jem can breathe fire longer/farther. The two heads don't agree on much, except how tasty high wordcounts are! When it comes down to it, though, they love each other and you! They're protective and will defend your creative process, but they are a bit sarcastic at times. They might tease you if your wordcount is low. They are green-scaled and yellow-eyed, but Jem's tongue is purple while Nigh's is blue. They're looking for a good home! :D

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Fantasy Geek — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:19:49 -0500

Perhaps you'd be interested in Kiri's twin brother, Loki. He's about the same size as Kiri, but prefers spaghetti to grilled cheese sandwiches. He is very good at building things. When you're behind on your word count, he will you all your office supplies to build a contraption moving your laptop from your desk to your bed so that you can't go to sleep until you catch up on your word count. And thanks for Disco! He sounds perfect. I have plenty of books in my room for him to read while I'm at class.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

GinsuBlender — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:31:27 -0500

Leaving Cesar. Cesar, despite the grandiose name and self-serving attitude to go with it, is hardly larger than an overfed house cat. He likes to flop all over monitor tops, taking great pride in his ability to balance longways along flat screens. He likes to keep 'like company'; authors to be that will shake the very foundations of the literary world (just like he did back in the political world of Rome, according to his self accounts). Gold with a vermilion flair down his back on and on his wings, he saves his fire for last-24-hour-FORGOT-TO-FEED-THE-DRAGON! write-a-thon 'inspiration'. (He burned Rome down once, you know.) Otherwise, if not fed, he will sit on your chest while you try to sleep and make randomly spaced growling noises to make sure you can't drift off to dreams. And because you writing is his food, he is quick to snap at the heels of any and all distractions...other than himself, of course.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Squeebot — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:41:39 -0500

I would like to adopt Jem and Nigh, if that's okay.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Chillibean — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 02:16:01 -0500

Leaving Fog. Fog is a very, very lazy dragon, about the size of a large cat, or small dog. He likes to lie on top of your books on your bookshelf, licking his lips every few seconds just in case you forgot he was here to eat your manuscript. Every few seconds, smoke would come out of his nostrils - sometimes he'll have smoke rings, sometimes they'll be words (like 'write faster, I don't have all day!' or 'I'm eating you if you procrastinate more.'). However, he never carries out any of his threats... unless he gets mad.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

CharlieFromLost — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 02:46:39 -0500

Oh, Dragons! :) I already have one I really love... but he has somewhere picked up and brouth home this very young Dragon: Mary Sue. She is what it says on the tin. She is colored Urple, with Blello eyes, Wilver horns and teeth and Bled patterns on her head and wings. She thinks she is the prettiest dragon in the world. When hungry, she will annoy you to near death with her commanding attitude, never-ending wishes and... well, she /does/ eat everything that's pink. She says that the brighter is the pink, the tastier it looks for her. When there's nothing pink around, she'll eat muffins and pillows. She is very small and can turn invisible (when you're low on wordcount, she likes to stand right behind you, invisible, and breath into your ear). But, however annoying she can be, she is very loyal and adores you completely, chasing away every interrupting things (be sure to warn you hamster and little sister!). She gets well along with angels and hellhounds and sometimes get really brilliant ideas that can speed up your writing. I love Dragons, but keeping up on wordcount is quite hard from me and I''ll probably die if I keep on writing with both of them around. P.S.: I've studied them a bit and know what a female Dragons looks like when she's carrying eggs... and Mary Sue definitely has that face... o__o If you adopt her, you'll probably get several of them at once. ... Just be careful. :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

HexNettle — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 03:58:14 -0500

Fog sounds like me. Wait... Scratch that... My kind of dragon. I shall adopt him happily. Leaving Bella. Bella is a quiet dragon, with sad eyes and floppy ears. She loves you, she really does, and she won't leave your side no matter what. But there's one thing wrong with Bella. She's scared to death of new people. Every time you procrastinate by browsing your facebook, or even the NaNo site, by going to a party or by phoning a friend, she will look at you with her sad brown eyes and floppy ears, and her tail will droop a little bit more. You don't want to scare Bella, do you?

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

TwasTheNargles — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 05:01:32 -0500

Aw, Bella! I'll adopt her! Leaving Dynamite. He genuinely has no idea why he was named after an explosive. He is the size of a small cat and likes to curl up on your desk, looking up at your measly word count with sad, sad eyes. Whenever you finish your 1,667 words for the day, his eyes light up a little bit, knowing that he'll be fed word food for one more day. However, if you spend the day procrastinating, he'll whine softly until midnight that day, waiting for you to finish. I can almost hear him now. "Mew.. mew.. mewwww..."

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

hallidays — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 05:30:04 -0500

Leaving Red Card: He's really very docile despite his name, and he's a small red and black dragon that likes to perch on top of your computer screen and dangle his tail over your screen whenever you start to procrastinate and navigate away from your novel, having not finished your 1,667+ words for the day. That habit may get annoying at times, but don't worry - if you bribe him with cookies he'll do just about anything.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Fixed-dot-dice — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 05:42:10 -0500

Taking? Red Card sounds perfect for me- just the sort of Dragon I think I'll need.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

TwasTheNargles I would love to adopt Dynamite. I promise I will look after him verry well.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

-happyness- — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 08:40:37 -0500

Can someone find a dragon for me? One who doesn't mind their owner moving a lot - they might accidentally get chucked off the bed. Thank you! Leaving - Charles. He is a distinguised dragon, but one who loves dramatics. He will hide under his wings quite happil, but will snap at you from under them if you stop typing. He is bright blue with black spines, and can't breathe fire. Yet. He may learn this month, so do keep him occupied with eating words - a burning computer/note pad wouldn't be good at all.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Lycaenion — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 08:47:36 -0500

I'm quite the drama llama myself - I think we might get along quite well. I am very fond of dragons and will take care of him (and keep him fed) as best I can. Between him and my angel, I think I'm set. :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

WaterSinger — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:14:05 -0500

I wouldn't mind my own Wordcount Dragon who appreciates snakes and dogs, and doesn't mind an owner who will writewritewrite then have a half an hour break before repeating the activity. Must enjoy night-times!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

LSlash — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:26:37 -0500

I'd love a dragon other than the one I have and so I'd appreciate it if someone was able to trade dragons with me. It's not that I don't like her, it's just that she doesn't exactly work with my motivation. The dragon I'm offering is a speckled gray and green dragon named Pebble. She's as big as a great dane but a little chubby. While she may be lazy for good lengths of time, she'll switch now and then and become extremely energetic. Sometimes these bursts of energy are expected and can be controlled, but otherwise they come at random. She loves to lounge around desks, beds and other workspaces because she loves to try to help out with writing. If anyone has a dragon they'd be willing to swap with her, it would be greatly appreciated. I feel I don't give her a good enough home.

I'll trade with you! My dragon is named Raven. he's jet black with black eyes and large powerful wings. he's about the size of a beagle and likes to set things on fire. (he scorched my notebook last week) Mostly I think he needs a change of scenery. he's been very quiet lately and hasn't bothered me for snacks in nearly twenty minutes! Please send him back after NaNoWriMo though, he's pretty helpful.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

LSlash — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:04:38 -0500

Okay! Let's see how swapping dragons helps out us and them. I'll do my best to take good care of Raven.

Ramie Donyet — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 11:17:10 -0500

Ooooh . . . I want a dragon . . . I'm leaving one; give her a good home! Domi: She is a smallish smoky gray dragon with dark green eyes (that flash brighter green when she flames) and very dark, almost black, wings. She is built long and lean and has a thin tail that she whips around when she gets antsy - which happens if you don't meet your word count! While she is generally content to rest on or near you (her preferred spots are on your shoulder or lap), she gets snappish if you aren't making your word count goal. She'll literally snap at the nearest body part and even flame at you. She tends to get along with other beings of any sort as long as she's getting the energy she needs.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Dearcupcake — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 11:32:08 -0500

Oh I'll take Domi! She sounds like she'll work great with my Angel! She's just what I need to kick me into writing. I promise I'll take care of her and she'll be well fed I assure you.

Looking for: a dragon willing to deal with an author writing two stories at once, but with usually a high wordcount. Willing to deal with lots of travelling (I'm dogsitting for two different people), must be good with dogs, rats, and mice, even sick, elderly ones. In return: I offer Aurelie. An aspiring writer and avid reader, Aurelie is pocket sized and fits in the palm of your hand, perfect for the writer on the go! She's a very beautiful little thing, with translucent wings and iridescent scales. Her silver eyes light up whenever a new word appears on the page. Despite her small size, she can turn nasty when you get too far behind on your word count. Words keep her scales bright, she says! If you lag on your word count, she'll buzz around like an annoying mosquito, whining noise and all, until you get to work. Perfect for the writer who needs a fellow writer around, as she wants to try her claws at a NaNo novel as well! She's also very helpful about writer's block, always willing to toss out an idea or three.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Talavaria — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:24:18 -0500

Oh, Aurelie sounds perfect for me! I need a portable companion. May I adopt her? Let's see, I thought I had one around here somewhere... I'll get back to you shortly.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Talavaria — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:37:54 -0500

Ah, here they are! They were trying to hide in the closet. Buzz and Nickel, a two-headed (and two-minded!) dragon perfect for multiple-story authors. Being of two very different minds, Buzz (blue eyes and green horns) and Nickel (silver eyes and orange horns) rarely agree on anything, including which story to eat, except that they love to eat words. Watch out, though! Since they share a body, sometimes in the process of digesting all those words, they get a little mixed up, and you might find ideas from one story bleeding into the other one. A conscientious writer can mostly avoid this, if he or she wants. Buzz and Nickel are very well behaved and only fight with each other. They have been known to band together to care for sick or needy creatures, and you might even catch them playing ball with the dogs or carrying the older mice outside to give them a garden tour. They are strict wordataraians, and won't harm any other living thing on purpose, but they may comb through your hair or tug on your ears to see if you have any extra words hiding somewhere near your brain. The only other issue might be that they're rather large and don't always remember it. You might find yourself trapped at your desk, on your couch, or wherever you write, because Buzz and Nickel have taken up all the available space around you to wait for words.

Teachan — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:40:13 -0500

Oh goodness! I'd just been typing up a description of a dragon for Aikofox! Perhaps I'll just hang onto him, this year.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aikofox — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:41:42 -0500

Oh my gosh, they sound adorable! A bit big for my needs, but I can work around that! Thank you! Hope you enjoy Aurelie!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Talavaria — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:48:51 -0500

Glad you like them! Feel free to ask them to squish together a bit, if you need some more room. I'll take good care of Aurelie!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Miss Amyzing — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:06:19 -0500

Leaving: Resi Resi is a hyperactive baby white dragon, and has she got a personality! She tends to like to sprawl across your keyboard, blocking your hands from happy typing, and when she gets incredibly bored, she like to pry the keys loose and snack on them. Not very good behavior for a dragon! And make sure that you don't leave any warm beverages out, as she'll lop those up sooner than you have the chance to shoo her away (she's particularly fond of chai tea). Keep her well-fed (and happy!) by maintaining that high word count, otherwise you can expect your shoes to be perfectly chewed and and your hair to be singed and charred.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aikofox — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:09:10 -0500

I offer up a few more little ones to anyone else who needs a writing dragon! Small enough to curl up around your finger, Tully has shimmering blue scales and green eyes. A mournful little creature, Tully is always begging for more words, despite the fact that he's quite plump for his size. He hates electronics not used to feed him, and if neglected, he'll crawl inside your tv or game console and play havoc with the wiring. He loves a good cuddle almost as much as he loves to eat. His scales are soft as velvet, and he's too fat to fly, so he'll usually catch a ride on a shoulder or in a pocket, or even tucked in a shirt hem. Regul is a feisty little dragon with a mean temper. Don't let his tiny size fool you. He may be pocket sized, but get behind on your word count and he'll show you just why you should never upset a Wordcount Dragon! Don't be surprised to wake up to a little red demon chewing your toes, or fingers, or even singeing your hair off! Perfect for those writers who really need a kickstarting slavedriver. Though I have to admit, he's rather cute when he hisses. Greta is a serene dragon, with purple scales dusted in gold and a creme underbelly and horns. Highly intelligent, her gold eyes miss nothing. If you're short even one word, she'll poke and prod you until you just can't take it anymore and add that missing word. Slim, long, and serpentine with large cream and purple wings, she moves through the air like a fish through water. She loves to read, and her favorite book is the draconic masterpeice, 'Drakes of Wrath,'

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aikofox — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:10:40 -0500

oh, Teachan, I'm willing to give a home to multiple dragons, so don't let that stop you! The more the merrier!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Miss Amyzing — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:11:12 -0500

Oh gosh, I absolutely must adopt Tully. He has won my heart already! ;___; I'll take excellent care of him, I promise!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Ramie Donyet — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:12:15 -0500

Ooooh, I think Greta sounds wonderful! She'll have a good home with me. :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

InterroJayBang — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:14:03 -0500

Korp — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:17:08 -0500

Oh, can I adopt Regul pleeease? :3 He's just what I need to keep writing! And I promise to at least try not to let him starve! <3

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

WaterSinger — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:18:09 -0500

I'm leaving Xi. Xi is a rare furred dragon, who doesn't use wings to fly and can't breathe fire - his fur is cream and he has gold streaks running down along his sides. Lavender eyes gleam at anyone he looks at but doesn't expect him to be gentle - if you are shy anything for you word count then he will constantly wind himself around you until you get up and complete it! Xi loves dogs and rodents, but not irritating distractions like siblings or the phone! He's the size of an Irish Wolfhound, so you need to type fast to feed him!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Teachan — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:59:48 -0500

Well then! I offer to you: Augrin (sometimes Auggie, should you get to be close), a dragon who may just be perfect for your needs. At the end of his long, thin tail, you will find a small golden eye, matching the two on his face. In this way, he can keep track of multiple stories at once. He is about the size of any small lizard, and has a penchant for sitting on one of your shoulders with his tail curled around and looking over the other one. Augrin's scales are midnight blue, and very sleek. He can come off as aloof at times, but is really just attempting to pull a stern face to keep your writing on track. The more you write, the more friendly and pleasant his demeanor shall become towards you. Should your wordcount fall behind, however, he grows a bit less friendly, and shows his displeasure with sharp nips at your earlobes. Augrin has no problem with pets, as he's lived in a house with cats for some time now. Keep writing, and you'll have a lifelong friend.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aikofox — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:01:36 -0500

Leaving Tupel. About the size of a saint bernard, Tupel is big and full of words. He hates to travel, making him perfect for the writer who stays at home. He's a bed hog, and if you don't meet your daily quota he'll spread out on your bed and won't let you in until you get the job done. This yellow eyed orange monstrosity is a picky eater and isn't about to let you get sidetracked writing something else and try to trick him with it, it won't work, as he only eats delicious NaNo novels. He's willing to share his writer with other dragons, but he doesn't like hellhounds and woe to the angel who enters his home. He thinks they make good sweets.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

WaterSinger — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:05:07 -0500

I'll take Tupel! He sounds about right for me!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Willowth3kitten — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:14:14 -0500

Mary Sue sounds right up my alley! I've got a friend who wears nothing but pink, so if I fall behind on my word count I can just ship her over there for a couple hours. Can I adopt her Charlie? I'll find her babies good homes, promise (I'll even see if one of the local vets can get them fixed-they probably get dragons in all the time)! I already rescue puppies, how much different can dragons be? ... And where can I find a hellhound? I've always wanted one. <3

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aellio — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:33:11 -0500

Leaving: Heather is a small dragon, and very curious. She loves to crawl over your keyboard, your hands, and loves nestling on your shoulder. She is also in and out of empty (unless hungry) coffee mugs, so watch before you pour! She loves being in a house with lots of people or other animals, and doesn't mind tight spaces so if you live in an apartment, crowded house, or dorm she's the perfect dragon for you! A golden hay color with a lighter silver belly, she is a bit of a plain dragon, though her jade green eyes sparkle with energy. This girl loves a big word count, but warned if you fall behind to far she will start to disappear, and sooner or later so will the cookies! Hope to find a wordcount dragon of my own soon!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

WanttoWright — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:47:53 -0500

Oh. So adopting Heather! Leaving Jingles Boy red and green scales. Very friendly and playful. Kind of a scardy cat, but will take up for you if he loves you! He is constantly wanting to play and trying to keep on your good side!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aellio — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:54:31 -0500

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Flying in Imagination--Moogle — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:55:17 -0500

Ahh I'll take Heather! Leaving: Looney is a tough dragon who's bite is bigger than his bark. He's very small and enjoys hiding in small cracks, so may be hard to find sometimes. Looney feeds on humor and adventure writing, so anyone with that genre would be perfect for Looney! Lack of sleep is no problem for Looney, so if you work late into the night, he'll be there to keep you company. And eat your nose since he's obsessed with noses, but mostly be with you! Looney likes lonliness, so if you don't have anyone to be with him at all times, he won't mind. To Looney, his master will be his best friend.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Akasunification — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:48:02 -0500

jemzgirl161 — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:01:59 -0500

Aww I'll take Looney he sounds adorable :D Leaving: Parker He's cute and gremlin like. Parker is stone grayish with a hint of silver and black. He will chewing on things if word count is not up to par. Uh, I don't know much else about him, except he wants a home :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

sakura_no_hanabira — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:18:23 -0500

Adopting: Still looking >< Up for Adoption: Koi. A little asian looking dragon who's base is white but has red, orange and golden spots. When writing frantically she'll curl up with you, acting as a muffler, foot warmer or her best to be a fan if you're area is hot. But if she see's not progress and you're being lazy, she will go up and nibble your fingers, curious why they're not moving.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

TayJay — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:19:40 -0500

Ohhhh. I'll have Parker! Leaving: Rosita: Rosita sounds cute and cuddley, but when you forget to feed her, she has a might of a temper. She's black but in the right light, her scales shine a hint of purple. She doesn't mind staying up late to eat in case you're a late-night procrastinator and it doesn't matter if you have a small apartment or house. Rosita loves a tasty adventure scene, but thinks that Romance has a sweet twist too. Take care of her!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

missamanda12 — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:20:59 -0500

:( if anyone has one, i think i might need it. I love buddies also Leaving Xari While being bright red, it is probably because of embarrassment, not fire. He is mostly clumsy, but bright at times needed. Can't balance very well, and tends to trip over his own feet. So flying is preferred. Be careful to fall behind, his clumsiness can destroy even the most organized person's life. Starting with sugar,to sleep, and on.. His fire while pure white, burns only wood made items.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Looking for a small blue dragon. does anyone have one? Leaving: Zinnia- female, bright purple. loves to cuddle in bed when wordcount goal is acheived, but can get very depressed when it is not. she sits in a corner with tears dripping slowly from her pale grey eyes until that last word is typed, then she brightens and scrambles up onto your shoulder, then drifts to sleep. she is very playful and loves to lie in a field of flowers.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

webwalrus — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:12:53 -0500

To Leave: A small litter of Roo-Dragons I had a blue dragon that breathed water last year, and apparently she shacked up with a walrus sometime before she flew off to find her Inner Path. These dragons are an odd hybrid of dragons and walruses - they have flippers like a walrus, but wings like a dragon, and scales down their backs. They're very rotund, and just a little bigger than a basketball. I have one in grey (Walla), one in brown (Roo), and one mottled grey-brown mix (Flip). Their wings aren't big enough for them to get very high off the ground; just enough that they can get up onto your desk to verify your wordcount. If they don't like what they see, they're liable to poke holes in your laptop or notebook with their tusks. I can't feed three wordcount dragons this year; help! Anybody want a cute little roo-dragon?

I would love to adopt little Flip; they all sound lovely. I will leave Chrysis, a violet dragon with green eyes. She likes to sleep in the warm light of a desk lamp, but she is a light enough sleeper to wake up when she hears the absence of keyboard tapping. She is sweet enough when she is well fed, but she can be very temperamental when she gets hungry. She is liable to set fire to any distracting webpage or book that is distracting you from your novel.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Annie-May — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:38:33 -0500

I'll give Roo a home! She sounds lovely :) I'm also looking for a purple dragon with golden wings if anyone has one? Please? :) Leaving Loki, as he is a pest. I love him, but he is always hungry for more words! I would leave for a second to go make tea and come back to find my desk in shambles! He really is a sweetheart, but only when he's sleepy. Of course, he makes himself sleepy by racing around the house in circles. He is a silver dragon the size of a very large cat, with gigantic wings that tend to run into things. He is fascinated by the rings coffee and tea mugs leave on the desk. He will lay at your feet, curled up, sweet as can be, until you stop typing. Then he will start to nibble and claw at your feet. He doesn't believe in writing breaks. Hope someone give him a good home! (I recommend a kennel for non-nanoing time)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

CyainePhoenix — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:44:30 -0500

Leaving Miri. She looks a little like a greyhound and a dachshund mixed. (skinny build, short legs). She's light blue with some green and purple mottling, and big beautiful teal eyes. Her wings are long and thin, and she keeps them closed against her. She's very mindful of her surroundings, and very careful when she moves and walks. Miri loves wordcounts, and when you go over your daily count, she purrs and nuzzles and sits happily where you tell her. If you don't make wordcount, she sulks and glares, and eats your socks and strings toilet paper through your rooms. You will also find your beverage of choice hidden until she gets her tasty words....

I'll adopt Loki! He sounds adorable! :D Leaving Brenna, an old rusty-red with white whiskers. She's been a dear friend to me, but I'm moving in December and simply won't have the space to keep her; it seems her breed grows slightly larger than a Great Dane. She eats a lot and gets grumpy when you stop typing, but she's old enough that she won't start gnawing on The Lord of the Rings if you take a break for a while. She likes crisp words like "contemporary" and "percussive." Please give her a nice home! I'd hate to see her go hungry after all the motivation she's given me.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

mistygal01 — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 01:03:53 -0500

I'll give Brenna a home, if she's still available. She can keep my Dane entertained when I manage to sneak away for the occasional break (LOL, yeh right) and I have no shortage of space :) And I'll be in need of some motivation when my current 'Yay I'm so pumped lets write all day' streak moves on...

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

I think I'll be adopting little grey Walla the Roo Dragon. I could use a bouncy little pet to make sure I'm staying up to speed! Leaving: Fester is a surly white dragon with a five foot wingspan and a feathery beard. He has a sour temper if you're not writing enough. Fester's an elderly dragon who no longer has the ability to breathe fire, but will smoke up your room to an uncomfortable degree! On the bright side, if you're doing well, he has a helpful habit of giving you hints and ideas for your stories. At 220 years, Fester's seen it all! Anyone care to take this lovable old dragon off my hands?

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Kaylee Tam — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 02:59:16 -0500

I'll put my own dragon up here, to share, because I can't entirely let him go. :) His name is Omin (pronounced 'omen') and he's jet-black, covered in fur instead of scales. He can change his size at will, but he's typically about the size of a housecat. He doesn't say much, but he likes to lounge around your neck and nip at your ear if you do something wrong. He likes cold temperatures, but at the same time radiates heat, so he's a good winter buddy. And when you're writing, he has no qualms about sitting quietly to the side and openly staring at your work. Gets along well with most angels and hellhounds, unless they try to eat him.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

ChoKiba — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 03:22:28 -0500

Aw! Omin sounds fantastic especially since there is actually a black cat where I'm staying hehe. I will be glad to share him with you if you'll let me.

Looking for: A dragon that has the ability to keep me on track and to help me to feed it well. Aggressive or non-, it doesn't matter. Leaving: June, a bright pink dragon. June will lay with her snout just peeking over your laptop while she breathes smoke. Leave the website, and she'll close the lid on your fingers. She relies on auto-save and will do whatever she can to get you to get off of the internet. Leave the room for a while and count on your document to be the first to pop up. Other than her giant wordcount hunger, she is very sweet and will not mind snuggling up to you at times.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Dr. Paine — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 04:44:14 -0500

Aww... I don't know if it's my recent love of Ponies making me agreeable to pink, but I like the sounds of her :> I'll do my best to keep her fed. Leaving: Well... he responded well to 'Nyarlathotep'. He's a bit creepy looking, really thin. Light purple, almost smokey color, with glowing yellow eyes. No pupils or whites. Sometimes it looks like he has tentacles instead of legs, wings and a tail, but that's just him messing with you. He threatens permanent madness if you dare let him go hungry for even an hour, so he's far too strict for my taste. He doesn't bite or anything, but if you're a bit behind on the word count, it's best not to stare at him too long. He's got a lot of stories though, he's pretty old. Good for inspiration :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

DonaNobisPacem — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 05:15:49 -0500

I've got my own little feller, named Romeo, except for he's a cat and he bites toes and fingers. Actually, I do have a little dragon now named Colichay. However, I'm going to leave Barkanaw. Leaving- Barkanaw. Male, rather husky looking. He has amber colored eyes, sea-foam colored body, and light blue wings. Barkanaw will reply to Bark, although he's most likely to nip at your fingers if you call him that. He isn't picky about what he eats. If you're behind on your word count, he'll probably start by pouting. Then by eating compulsively. Which generally starts with the shoulder of your shirt, since he loves wrapping around necks to watch typing happen. He's very gentle, but doesn't get along very well with hellhounds. If you have a hellhound, you might want to keep these two apart. Other than that, he's very caring and will try to keep you from getting distracted.

I'll be taking 'Nyarlathotep'. He sounds like the dragon I had last year, really miss that one. Leaving- Dougie. A small little dragon that I've bin keeping in an old jam jar in my room. He/she (no idea really) has a pearl color so best advise is not to have him/her in sunlight. Way to distracting for my taste all those changing colors. Can handle other pets, even other dragons. Prefers lying on shoulders and nibbling on ears. Love watching people type and will jump on your keys if you've ignored them for too long. Enjoy.

Stormcage -- He has an affinity for Doctor Who and will try to persuade you to listen to its soundtrack for inspiration. If he's happy and well-fed, he'll curl around your ankles quite tightly and go to sleep. Admittedly, it's a bit uncomfortable, but it's better than having him wake up and eat your leftover Halloween candy, which supplements his diet of words. He's a dark greyish blue, like slate. He enjoys music of all kinds and often tries to sing along, producing somewhat alarming off-key sounds.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

thisisasoul — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 06:31:54 -0500

Ahh! Stormcage and I were made for each other. I shall take him and love him forever and do my very best to feed him. <3 And also, I may even be able to teach him a proper note or two to sing!

I need a dragon, but am also putting one up for adoption: Does anyone want Jayne? First off, Jayne is a girl's name, but Jayne is NOT a girl. Don't bring it up, he's very touchy. He is a navy blue dragon that shimmers in the sunlight, and is about as big as a twin-sized bed [If this is a problem, he can wait outside and stare at you through the window]. He's very menacing, and will eat all of your NaNoChocolate if you fall too far behind, but he's really very sweet, as long as you don't deprive him. WARNING/DISCLAIMER: He might scare off your friends and family in an attempt to get you to write more.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

chaosconductor — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 09:25:39 -0500

I'll adopt Dougie, he sounds lovely to look at and small enough to follow me and my laptop around the city! Thanks!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

chaosconductor — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 09:29:13 -0500

I'm dropping of Wynnter, a fairly large snowy dragon. Her long spike tail will usually remain curled around her body, but if you make her nervous, it starts to twitch back and forth (and OH GOD, DON'T KNOCK OVER THAT BOOKSHELF!). She's got a sweet disposition usually, but gets the hiccups when she's hungry, and yes she's a bit of a fire breather, so you my not want to keep her around things that are too flammable. When well fed, she will guard your doors, looking just menacing enough to turn distractors (and their delicious, delicious distracting cookies) far away. Once she's glutted on an over-average-day word count, she'll fall to sleep, and THEN you can hunt down those delicious, delicious cookies.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

toucansamantha — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 09:41:32 -0500

Jayne is mine. I won't tease him about his gender and I might even get him a Vera for Christmas if he gets me through my NaNovel. I particularly like that he will scare away my friends and family (and hopefully students too). Leaving: Hrummph, the oh so bored dragon. If you are staring at your screen you might hear a hrummph and see a puff of smoke. This is probably one of your prized childhood possessions being incinerated but try not to worry about it. Hrummph is a wingless Chinese dragon with glistening black scales and a penchant for Oolong tea. If you are a tea drinker he neatly fits around a mug and his extraordinary body temperature will keep it warm for hours, all he asks is a sip. Unless you stop typing then hrummph.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Alwaysfollowtheowls — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:05:43 -0500

I'd love to take Hrummph!! I drink tea all the time, so he's slightly perfect XD Unfortunately I don't have a dragon to leave...Sorry y'all!

Of course! He has a hearty appetite, so he'll need both our wordcounts to get by. :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

fParkyr — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 11:29:01 -0500

Oh, I'll take Bark! :3 He sounds adorable! I will leave Cloudy: A bit chubby, he glares at just about everything. He's very much carnivorous, so watch the fingers! He gets along with all pets, though he tends to pick fights with hellhounds if left to his own devices. He's a mottled gray/tan color, his eyes a brilliant orange. He prefers not to be too cuddly, staying at least six inches away from you while laying on your notes. Possibly curling up between you and the keyboard. If you are behind on your word count he will take personal items and stash them until you catch up again.

sal410cat — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 11:35:13 -0500

I would like a nice little dragon to curl up at my feet, or maybe to lay on the chair next to me as I try to write. I would like a dragon that won't eat my kitties, and will deal with my weird music tastes. Someone who can stay up long into the night would be good too. Leaving: Orp Great Dane sized light blue dragon with one bent spike on his tail. He likes to eat dogs when not glutting on words and so anyone with pets, such as myself, would be a bad match. He enjoys hot sauce so anyone who has a bottle, or fifty, would be a good match. If you can't handle drama llamas then Orp wouldn't like you. It's not that he doesn't have a soul...he just likes to smash things first and deal with emotions later.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Gdawg — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:17:43 -0500

I would love to have Jayne! He sounds like a bunch of fun and I think I could use someone who I can just look out the window of my dorm room, see him, and then cower in the corner with my laptop. We'll be perfect!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

lastwingedwolfflying — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:22:02 -0500

Will happily adopt Orp! he sounds cool! I will look after him :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

lastwingedwolfflying — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:30:26 -0500

Leaving: Pudding Pudding is a large (fat) dragon who likes to eat a lot. his favourite food is icecream. He is red and has green eyes. He can't fly very well but is champion at eating. He will eat EVERYTHING if you do not reach word count. Possibly even your laptop/desktop/mac/typing thing. He just is always hungry. So you can't risk not writing the minimum. But he will happily chat about your novel. He is fluent in a lot of languages and may even help with geography homework if required.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Ksimpson1998 — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:47:55 -0500

I couldn't find a dragon that I liked that wasn't already adopted so I'm making my own who is NOT up for adoption. Speckle is a small female dragon with a big attitude. She is light orange with dark orange speckles ( huh, wonder where she got her name?). She loves to sit on your lap and cuddle with you until the day of writing is over then she will go right to bed. She will not go to bed until the days word count is met. Did I mention that she is very hyper? Well she is and you'll know when she wants you to write more before bed. She is about the size of a house cat.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

sal410cat — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:01:28 -0500

Still looking for a dragon to spend time writing with: I would like a nice little dragon to curl up at my feet, or maybe to lay on the chair next to me as I try to write. I would like a dragon that won't eat my kitties, and will deal with my weird music tastes. Someone who can stay up long into the night would be good too. So if you know of a dragon for me, let me know! I found this little girl underneath my kitchen table, but sadly she doesn't want to stay with me. Ettam: The size of a larger cat. Black as night with blue metallic scales hidden everywhere, so she sort of shimmers. She likes to be alone with her adoptor and snack on words. She can't stand conflict but will protect you if need be. Won't leave you alone until the word count is met, will stay up for days on end just to put you on that guilt trip. She needs to eat those words!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Elevensies — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:16:38 -0500

Sharing (because he's insatiable, but I can't quite give him up): Garfunkle Gar's a terrier-sized dragon, with feathery wings and a long, wide snout. His color tends to change based on how well you're feeding him, and he is ridiculously impatient for more words. The little scamp will sit at your feet, with his mouth wide open, waiting (im)patiently for you to hurry up and feed him even more words. If you take too long, he may take a nibble at your shins. But, he's very lovable, when he's not shamelessly demanding to be fed.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aellio — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:25:27 -0500

Heather can have multiple homes, she loves people like I said and she will fly swiftly despite her full belly from so many words xD

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aellio — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:30:29 -0500

I have Misty, a cat sized dragon, very soft and fluffy pale grey with little black freckles and black belly, loves cuddling with cats, or even dogs. She even makes a soft purring noise to communicate her happiness. Like most cats she is curious, and curls up in laps, or on feet making a good foot warmer at times, though she does tend to walk across your keyboard if you aren't quite making word count. She has bird like wings though she doesn't fly much, preferring to spend time with her author all day or all night :P She will get into your milk, or meat if you don't feed her enough words so if you adopt her please keep her happy!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

sal410cat — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:59:09 -0500

I'd love to adopt Misty! She's just what I'm looking for! *cuddles*

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

DonaNobisPacem — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:46:31 -0500

Belarus-Female, coated in warm scales. Reddish glow about her dark green body. Blue eyes, loves sleeping on necks. Very warm at all times, which is sort of nice on a cold morning (or night). She eats only cotton, so unless you like not wearing the average shirts and you're generally down on your word count, you probably shouldn't adopt her. Her scales are soft, but not fleshy feeling. I've always found that a fleshy feeling wrapped around the neck is a little creepy. If you don't keep your word count up, she will start jumping up and down on your head first. Then she'll start nibbling on fingers, then she'll attack anything with at least some cotton in it and start eating.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Does anyone have a small male dragon for me to adopt? :D

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

DonaNobisPacem — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:49:39 -0500

Lark-Male. Rather small, with a small wingspan. He has blue scales, gray eyes, and teal wings. He loves sitting on shoulders or chests and watching you type. However, he can be very vicious if you're behind on your word count. He'll start by nibbling on your ear or neck, then start biting. If you don't hurry, he'll start running in circles, then he'll go after the nearest thing made out of wood. He's very gentle otherwise and generally doesn't scratch. He plays nice with all animals, but doesn't do so well with Angels. If you have an Angel and it falls, he'll be out there laughing. So you probably shouldn't have a sensitive Angel, or this little fella might not last very long if the Angel falls.

MollyShort — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:07:32 -0500

On the last page I saw a lovely old timer looking for a home, and if he is still available I think Fester would be the perfect dragon to help me! I'm leaving behind Turque, a decent sized dragon perfect for those younger kids that love to poke at things. Turque is a very protective and loyal dragon and loves to sit at your feet while typing, but if he doesn't get his fill of words for the day, oh boy, watch out! This guy will get into anything, so keep those little family heirlooms out of his way! His green scales, and darker green spikes look sharp, and he likes to be kept in tip top condition. Not one to breath fire, his saliva has a substance in it that leaves the one on the receiving end very itchy unless they are writing, who knows how that works? Either way, Turque is the perfect type of dragon to keep you going through the month of NaNo.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

HoverponiesForever — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:09:30 -0500

Can I adopt her? I wear cotton, and promise to feed her. Warmth is nice (there's already snow on the ground), and this is just the kind of reminder I need to keep writing.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

KazeTaco — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:25:25 -0500

Does anyone have a smaller dragon out there who is ADD-resistant? I found a great novel-writing dragon, but she realized that she is destined for someone else's lap-- so I'm being responsible and helping her find a novelist. Her name is Belladonna, and she's a rare crystal dragon. She's about the size of a hedgehog, and doesn't mind sitting in purses. If you stick her near a light, pretty lights will show up on the walls. She doesn't breathe fire, instead she breathes fluffy little clouds. I've discovered that she has a fondness for mints and mocha... so you might want to watch out if you're a procrastinating mocha lover!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aellio — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:31:26 -0500

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

KazeTaco — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:36:07 -0500

Well, I do love his spikes. I just hope he doesn't mind a small room... and it's a bit cluttered. Think he'd be okay with that?

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

LadyDragon543 — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:38:53 -0500

Iktomi is a high spirited silver-green dragon. She's about the size of house cat, and very affectionate--as long as your word count stays on track. She'll sit silently in your lap and give you gentle nudges in the right direction if you're having legit trouble with your count. But procrastinate and she'll start playing tricks on you. Nothing *too* damaging (she wants her words after all) but enough to get the point across. When NaNo is done, she'll revert to simply becoming a lovely companion. Her favorite thing to do in the summer is roast marshmallows so her human companions can make s'mores. Her favorite foods (besides words) are kimchi, pepperoni pizza and green bean casseroles, but she's not a picky eater. Treat her well, and she will help you as much as she can. =) Not taking a dragon yet....

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

MollyShort — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:39:45 -0500

Turque doesn't mind clutter one bit, he'll build a nice nest out of that clutter, and small rooms are fine so long as he gets to keep you writing!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

KazeTaco — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:41:21 -0500

Then he sounds perfect for me, thank you so much. I'm sticking his bio in my author bio, if you don't mind. Hope you have fun with Belladonna!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

LadyDragon543 — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:43:16 -0500

Oh! Almost forgot: Iktomi's eyes are purple. We don't really know why, they just are. They tend to get green and silver swirls in them when she's getting really impatient with you (such a nice tell she has, it's a great warning system seriously), and I felt like you should know that. She's a great Dragon, really (I will miss her!) but she's destined for better things. =)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

LadyDragon543 — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:45:44 -0500

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

MollyShort — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:59:59 -0500

An old dragon you say? Why I have the perfect specimen, I thought I had lost him, but I found him rooting about my snack cupboard, crazy old fellow. His name is Bartholomew, and he is quite the pretentious old guy. He is a stickler for rules, and doesn't have much patience, he is quite the nagger. Whenever you aren't writing all you can hear is him growling lowly in your ear, its enough to drive one mad! He is a deep grey colour, with white colouring his soft underbelly. His talons are long, and he loves to drag them across surfaces if his growling can't convince you to write. This fellow is quite the old timer, and his age has been lost for quite some time now, he can give you quite the bit of inspiration if you were looking for it, and he just loves to gobble up your words, or "lost items" (yeah that pair of socks you thought you lost? Not so much). When your writing he loves to lay about and do absolutely nothing, unless duty calls for his aid, in which case hill rush to your help as quick as his old legs will carry him.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

sal410cat — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:05:30 -0500

You can have her! She does like to chew on sneakers I've noticed. I hope you have fun with her!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

KazeTaco — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:33:03 -0500

Turque is quite mad that I'm taking the time to help this fellow find a home, but I promised him an extra-long paragraph to satisfy his appetite. This little guy is a bit... chubby. Okay, so he's about the size and shape of a jelly-filled doughnut and answers to the name "Duke". Instead of scales, his skin is more the texture of a dolphin's and is a bright... salmon. Okay, so it's pink. He's a pink, round, tiny dragon named Duke. Please don't make fun of him. If you do, or if you don't type up his dinner, he will proceed to roll all over your keyboard leaving a rather lovely assortment of "oipjojuijhuihyujgugggggggggggggggggggthfgssweaewaeaw" in the middle of your novel. Sigh.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:36:49 -0500

Well I'm in need of a dragon who will keep me on track. I have a habit of doing huge bursts of words and then lagging behind for a couple of days. Preferably the size of a cat or smaller (and hopefully the dragon will get along with the four cats that live in my home... I don't need spats erupting while I write!) While I'm here I'd best drop off: Tegan. She's a sweet dragon, about the size of a dog, a Black Lab to be specific. And like a Lab she's bouncy and playful, finding interest in all sorts of things. She often acts crazy in the hopes of getting you to write again, maybe you'll be inspired if she tries to ingest that flashlight or if she locks herself in the freezer. Mind you, she only starts getting 'curious' and 'crazy' when you leave off your writing and fail to reach your goal. As soon as you sit down and start writing she'll settle down by your feet and sleep. Tegan's scales are bright red and her wings are small, she can't fly but she can glide with the best of them. She can't breath fire but don't upset her, if looks could kill...

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Lycanthrope — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:41:07 -0500

Aww, he sounds adorable. In a jelly doughnut kind of way. I'd be happy to adopt him, if no one else wants him. ^-^

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

frostandthaw — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:46:39 -0500

I am making my own up and leaving another one behind; Mae is a black Dragon with scales like stars, she sits on your laptop side and hums when she likes line. She can be annoying and hyperactive but can get muse up. With huge black wings about the size of a bat she is pocketsize if she folds up her wings that is >.> Stubborn like her owner she won't do as shes told without a fight and can be aggressive with her formidable row of teeth and huge spiked tail like the one out of harry p! O: Leaving; Lux, a beautiful golden dragon that loves to fly and sleep on your head, the size of a cat he will lie on your lap and hum when stroked. He acts like a scalf but can be terrifying when he shows off his teeth. With spikes along his pack but soft to touch scales he is really quite a fluff ball. He is loyal and sleeps on your bed at night and fills your head with writing ideas - oh yeah, he also breathes fire if you don't correct a spell *wipes blackened screen*

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

kmoon2 — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:52:59 -0500

Oh Lux sounds precious! I'll adopt him! Leaving: Aquaius, a deep blue dragon who loves to munch on the middles of unused notebooks. Her favorite activity is sitting on your knees as you write away and gobbling up writer's block. She'll sleep on your pillow and keep away any ideas that would be bad for your novel along with that ever so pesky writer's block. Love her and she will love you!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

pbody_adams — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:56:58 -0500

Turque is going to be mine... he sounds just like me, except more scaly and spit-ty. I'm leaving behind Terra, a green dragon who is small enough to sit on your shoulder. Don't make any comments about her size though, or she'll eat keys from your keyboard, starting with your space-bar. Also when you fall behind with your word-count, but then she'll start to eat your backspace key, so your inner editor can't take away your sentences. She has a small white spine going down the back of her head all the way to the tip of her tail.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:58:42 -0500

I would love to adopt Terra, she sounds perfect for me. Especially the whole backspace key eating habit of hers. That will stir me into action! Just one question, how does she feel about cats? -left Tegan for adoption above-

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Windywords — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:01:48 -0500

I'm leaving Ixie, a tiny scarlet dragon that loves to perch on one's head. She's attracted to bright colors and has a ferocious appetite, since she's still just a baby. She can only spit smoke right now, but that won't stop her from teething on you whenever she's hungry. She's fascinated by pets and loves flying and hiding in small spaces. Unfortunately, I can't take care of this little fiesty dragon. Does anyone have an ice dragon? I feel certain I'd get along with one of those.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

pbody_adams — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:03:20 -0500

She loves other animals, especially ones that are smaller than her.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:06:52 -0500

I actually have an ice dragon that needs a good home. Benji is a small dragon with light blue scales, as one might expect of an ice dragon. He has dark blue spines and eyes, his tail is a tapered point. His claws are long and lethal looking and he never hesitates to threaten you if you fall behind your goal. He also loves chilling your nice hot drink when you fall behind your goal, even going so far as to freeze it into a solid block! If you've reached your goal he loves curling in your lap and watching your favorite shows or reading whatever book you're reading. He also loves ice cream, in fact it seems that's all he'll eat. Rocky road is his favorite flavor.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:07:54 -0500

Perfect =) Hopefully my kittens will love her too! She'll have a wonderful home with me, I can assure you ^^

I'm quite happy to have her sleep on my pillow, I have around 8 of them, so there's plenty of room for her. I've had quite a pesky dragon flitting around my room, once I can catch him, I'll put him up here!

KazeTaco — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:29:27 -0500

Since I'm sharing Turque, I figure I'd better take this little one to watch over my writing when the big guy isn't around. I need someone to keep me off these forums. Hope Ixie is up to it! Ow, my fingers... D:

I've got a dragon up for adoption! Fyodor, named after the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, is a cat sized dragon. This little guy not only loves to soar through the skies, he also likes using his powerful wings to swim. He's black, with pale blue eyes and just a tad bit temperamental. He loves to fall asleep on a warm lap to the rhythmic tap, tap, tap of the keyboard. A light sleeper, he often wakes up if the lovely tapping sound suddenly stops and has a habit of breathing a jet of steam at the feet of those who interrupt his naps. Fyodor needs a loving home, please take him.

Adopted!! Leaving: Vio, a spikey violet dragon, about the size of a computer mouse, who loves to play with electronics. She WILL steal your phone to play games on it while you're writing(Hey, YOU'RE not using it, riiiight??). But beware, she is watching you and is extremely aware of when you are typing and worse: when you aren't. For those of you writing on the computer, she'll sit on your mouse and make getting out of your word program or editing (even for spelling) very difficult. She won't be moved until you have reached your word count for the day. And when I say "won't be moved", I mean "will snap, claw, and spit match-sized fire-balls at your hand". For those of you with pen and paper, hide your white-out and erasers. She'll guard those with just as much spunk. If you leave your writing task before your daily minimum, she'll be gracious and give you a 15 minute breather. After which she will sit on your head, thumping your skull with her surprisingly heavy tail until you start writing again.

I'll take Fyodor. And leave Khi. Khi is a black and gold specked dragon. If your word count drops, not only will he eat everything, his gold spots will fade into black with the rest of his scales. He is a pocket sized dragon, but eats fast, he likes to curl up beside the notepad or computer of the NaNo writer and be quiet, loving the peaceful sounds of pen on paper or the taps of the keyboard and the occasional sip of coffee.

Adopting Vio. Leaving: Lunaete is a ghostly blue dragon about the size of a woman size 10's foot. If you're not writing on your novel, she will lay on your keyboard and refuse to move until you open up the word program and go back to typing. If you continue to ignore it, she will kidnap your electronics, knock your drinks off of your table, and hide your shoes. When you do happen to meet your wordcount, she will beg you to play some games for her, or she'd be happy to sleep over your face. She's fluffy, with scales over her forehead and "paws". Also, she has this adorable stare that will make you feel really guilty for not doing what she wants.

As it happens, I've a surplus of bird-dragons at the moment. Quite nice creatures, if a bit flighty in the head sometimes... They aren't so much for biting or clawing or setting you on fire when you get off track, but they are rather loud and have this knack for getting into everything you don't want them to. Clever critters. Their scales blend into a lovely array of soft feathers up their backs, culminating in brilliantly colored wings, and often with tufts at the ends of their tails or in place of ears. First is Gilligan, and he's the oldest, and thus the most crafty when it comes to getting into trouble— he's been around for a bit, he knows a thing or two! All blue and gold, about a foot long, and faster than you'd think! He gets moody when not being fed, but will try to kiss you all day to tempt you into giving him a delicious wordcount treat. Second is Eli, the middle child, though the biggest at about eighteen inches. Eli is a bit of a prima donna— things have to be done his way! No, 'I'll do it later' or 'I'll just surf facebook at the same time'— nope! And be prepared to lose your hearing, because he's the loudest. When satiated, though, he still acts like a baby, huddling up and puffing up his red and green feathers and rolling over for belly rubs. Finally is Sunrise, the youngest and girl of the trio. She's a tiny eight inches, but she doesn't let her size get in the way. Her squawk is shrill and comes often when she's demanding food— and that tiny beak is pretty sharp. She knows you've got the words in there, and she might just chew them out if she's hungry. She does love to perch up on your shoulder though, and will gladly snuggle with you for warmth, so long as you agree to pet her yellow, orange and green feathers just the right way. I hope these three find excellent homes, and I hope you find them to be not only wonderful companions, but superb motivators.

I'll take Khi! I'm leaving River. She is a small turquoise dragon with glittering silver eyes and small bat-like wings. She's as tall as a 12 oz soda can. She will often sit on a coaster or hide behind a monitor as you type away at your novel. If you fall behind on word count, she will start crawling along the top of your monitor, staring at you from bright eyes, making small gouts of flame, informing you that she is HUNGRY. She tends to lean into your monitor, or peer around the side, reading what you have written. If your finger hovers near the backspace button she will slap her tail over your finger and growl softly. Lately she's been gnawing on my post it notes, but they are the same color as her, so I'm not sure if she sees them as competition.

Khi sounds lovely, I'd be happy to give him a home ^_^ As it happens I'm fostering a little guy that is looking for a forever home. His name is Squidge, and he's a young dragon, about the size of of a chiuahua or a guinea pig. He's a dusty green colour with gold on the scales of his chest and face. A bit gangly, he's still adjusting to the length of his limbs and has been known to trip over his own feet, but he's a very sweet boy, who's happy to be curled up on your lap and swat at your cursor during any non-noveling computer useage. If you stop writing he will stare at you with big, round, tragic eyes until you are guilted into making your daily word count. Alas, he seems to be allergic to cats so he can not stay in my home, but I'm sure he'd make someone a very lovely wordcount dragon!

I have a small, like pocket sized small, violet dragon named Motgeur looking for a good home. He loves spending time with his owner and will likely follow you everywhere you go. He's a bit shy so don't expect him to come out in front of strangers, unless they're doing NaNoWriMo as well then he'll be all over them. Motgeur also has the marvelous ability to learn your favorite novel-ing music and whistle it. He delights in providing you with music while you write. He's fairly laid back so long as you can keep up with the daily word count. Fall behind and it's probably time to stock up on socks as he'll begin to eat his next favorite food, you guessed it socks! Mind you though he only eats one sock from every pair. Pleas find Motgeur a home. Also I'm looking for a wordcount dragon that is a bit more aggressive about getting over the daily word count but can let a few days slide with out novel-ing so long as I don't fall below the day's wordcount goal. Anyone know of such a dragon?

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Windywords — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 01:28:29 -0500

I think Jax would be perfect! I just found him nesting outside recently. He's about as big as a large cat with black scales, lots of spikes down his spine, and tattered bat wings. He's incredily impatient and I'm being eaten out of house and home! He's proven very good at sneaking up on you when you're procrastinating, but I've found giving him a stern talking to about how he'll get his dinner later usually works. He's pretty good at detecting lies, though, so I'd be careful!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

shadow:six — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:56:30 -0500

Oh I have one that might be right up your street! Kōri is an ice/water dragon, tiny little thing about twelve inches tall, with small bat-like wings and spined tail. She enjoys nothing more than wondering around your workspace moving things out of place when you should be writing. Good as gold when you are putting pen to paper, or fingers to keys, she has been known to 'purr' at lines she thinks are brilliant. A little different from your average water dragon as her scales are more grey than blue, but that really makes her that bit more special. Watch out if you don't make your word count though, she may be small but has a temper to be reckoned with if you let her go hungry... Looking for a small dragon myself, if anyone has one going?

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

morganafiolett — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:57:34 -0500

OK, since my boyfriend bought me an electric footwarmer there's no space under my desk for Frofi, so he needs a new home. Frofi is a rare Frost and Fire dragon, about the size of a housecat. He is purplish, in that sort of "catch him from one angle and he's blue, another angle and he's red, and in the middle he's purple" way. He has adaptable scales which can be as soft as fur or as spiky as, well, spikes, depending on his mood. When he's kept well fed he'll curl up on your feet, heat up to a comfy level and keep them nice and cosy, but if you drop behind he turns cold and spiky. Then starts crawling up your legs. Oh, and he won't actually let you get up and go anywhere until you've caught up. I'm looking for a good shoulder dragon now, ideally one who'll get me off the forums but will allow me strictly timed breaks when I'm ahead of my overinflated target...

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

shadow:six — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 05:09:28 -0500

Hi! If you want you can have Kohl, he's a dusk dragon, about the size of a house cat. He has a larger than average wing span for his species and tends to get a little over excited at meal times. He'll sit on your lap when you write, unless that annoys you. If it does, he'll find a chair or a patch of free desk-space and watch. If you fall behind with your count, well. That pile of papers you just organised? That book you haven't quite finished but are so close to doing so? The next time you find them, they'll probably be a little less organised, or a little chewed. If you don't give Kohl his words, he will go looking for substitutes... (he also tapes up your backspace key, on occasion.) Rest assured he reorganises all papers and only as a last resort does he chew books. :)

Pbody, I have a dragon here who followed Turque in this morning. She says that she is your wordcount dragon, and refuses to be shared with anyone but you. So, this is your personal wordcount dragon that won't leave your ankles... ... Because she'll be biting them. I've been calling her Sally (short for Salamander), but you can call her whatever you want. She's about the size of a year-old kitten, with golden scales that glint with fire. It's perfect for keeping your lap nice and toasty, though be warned... she can heat them up to scalding if you fall behind on your wordcount. Her scales are brown, but also glint red. The most interesting thing about her is her horn, which is on her forehead much like a unicorn's. However, in shape it is more like a rhino's horn. I hope she's to your liking!

Hi I'm new to NaNo so I don't have any dragons yet. I would like one though. Preferably small enough to fit in my dorm room I don't want him/her scaring my flat mates and understanding of my weird schedule (uni and work). Also would be great if they are very strict when I'm procrastinating like I am doing now :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aellio — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 08:51:44 -0500

I have a rabbit sized female dragon that I have been calling Mydra who rather unexpectedly flew into my window, so her wings need a bit of looking after. She is a quiet dragon, and doesn't mind lots of people around her as long as they silently acknowledge the power of the wordcount dragon. She is a dark blue in color with purple ear tips, tail tip and underbelly. She's willing to stay up all night or day and will give you a few nips if you procrastinate for too long. She loves pocky, ramen, and crackers, so be sure to feed her or you and your dorm mates snacks may go missing!

Hello! I would love a dragon, as I can get lonesome sometime and they seem like lovely little beasties. :) I hope he or she won't mind cats (they are also my writing companions) and lots of tea. However, I do have two little dragons who need good homes. First, there is Aelbright. He's a quiet, studious dragon with scales the color of leaves just turning gold around the edges. He's about the size of a small cat, with smooth scaling and large green-feathered wings. The tip of his tail also has a ruff of feathers and he had a crest of gold feathers over the crown of his head. He is quiet and can often be found enjoying the sunlight in a solemn way. One thing that he dislikes is birds as he always feels the need to show off his feathers. He's very picky about keeping his feathers clean, but he will help as much as he can with writing. Next, there is Ellin. Ellin is a larger specimen of dragon, maybe the size of a whippet dog, with coral-pink scales and big blue eyes. Ellin loves splashing around in water, but is content just dipping the tip of her barbed tail into a glass of water now and again. Ellin has no wings, but she had two elegant horns stretching back from her brow and her scales are like a fish's scales. She dislikes cats and loves to swim around with pet fish or just press her nose up to the glass and watch them. Ellin is very picky about her word counts, though, and does like her owner to have over 1666 words a day. Be warned - if not fed she'll resort to eating or drinking anything nearby, and will even prowl after stray homework on your computer.

I found Vody, a small crossbreed, though predominantly water, dragon - and small is about the size of a house cat. She's rather quiet but very friendly, and is an absolutely gorgeous turquoise colour. You'll never have to worry about sparks setting things alight when your procrastination runs away with you, as Vody cannot breathe fire due to an accident while hatching. She does have a few other tricks tucked up her scales to keep you writing, however, but only if you fall severely behind. She's fairly laid back and will only chew the odd sock or flatmate when she's feeling peckish.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

shadow:six — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:30:19 -0500

Hello! I'd love a little dragon, since I don't have much space, and one that doesn't mind my ... inconsistent daily word counts or the fact I seem to be inspired to write at 3 in the morning and other odd times. If anyone has any I'd be most grateful :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Bewitched.Rhapsody — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:31:10 -0500

Leaving: Lit. Lit is a bright neon yellow dragon with intelligent violet eyes. She glows in the dark and enjoys prowling around the writing den area that her owner is in. She is in fact intelligent and views herself as something of a teacher (yeah, she's got an arrogant streak). She's thin and wiry and is, get this, four inches in length. Do not be fooled. When a lazy, procrastinating author doesn't reach the word count of the day, she starts kicking the author's inner muse so that the author is so showered with inspiration that they must stay up and write. If that doesn't work, she will start eating the corners of the author's laptop and will start drinking all the coffee in the near vicinity. She is understanding when it comes to a busy schedule. She'll forgive you at the end of a busy day for not getting the proper word count if you give her some of your coffee with extra cream. Always extra cream. She enjoys conversation after the author's daily word count has been reached. Warning: she speaks sarcasm quite fluidly.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Bewitched.Rhapsody — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:34:56 -0500

May I add that Lit will get along with angels and hellhounds, but only if she is the one that holds the most authority. ;)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

CatOfManyWhiskers — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:40:03 -0500

Hello! :) Lit seems like a lovely little thing and I would be happy to adopt her. Sarcasm is no problem as I am quite fluent in it myself, and her arrogance is OK. I do tend to stay up late writing, so I think we'll get along nicely, and her size it perfect. I have a nice little niche she can sleep. While I don't have extra cream with the coffee, the coffee is very good and all natural and the milk has natural cream in it, so it's a two-in-one offer. :P

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Bewitched.Rhapsody — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:42:49 -0500

May I suggest adopting Deal. Deal is the lazy cousin of Lit. He is orange with indigo stripes and has indigo eyes. He is very understanding and often lets a lot slide more so than other wordcount dragons. He pays attention to an author's inner goals and gently prods the author to reach them by, get this, throwing the author through guilt trips and lecturing. "You're not doing this for me... You're doing this for you... You're only letting yourself down..." Of course, he is still extremely sympathetic. He is very straightforward and down to earth. He enjoys curling up on his owner's shoulder and watching them attempt to write. When his owner gets stuck, he will start getting into arguments with his owner's muse until the muse comes up with a wonderful idea to move the story on. Oh yes, he too is only four inches in length. So long as he gets at least 100 words a day, he's usually satisfied. He enjoys conversation, much like his cousin Lit. If you like, you can adopt both of them. XD

Bewitched.Rhapsody — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:44:50 -0500

Oh, no! I have my little angel triplets, guardians of each genre that I know and love and write, found by my dear friends and passed to me due to their not being as talented in those genres, but I do need a wordcount dragon, preferably one that can deal with my feisty little Tybalt, NaNoWriMo gaurdian angel of Science Fiction! As long as Tybalt and my potential future dragon can DEAL with each other, I'll be happy. Oh, and a Wordcount Dragon that prefers tea over coffee would be nice, too. My roommate would hate it if my dragon went rampaging and drank all of her nasty coffee.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

morganafiolett — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:50:58 -0500

Hm, now Frofi's gone I find myself in dire need of a new dragon. A particularly hungry one, for preference (since I'm on an inflated personal target) preferably shoulder sized, with a taste for cyberpunk and steampunk words. If it had a taste for red wine, that would be a great incentive. I don't want to lose my red wine.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:08:21 -0500

I have a young, starving, dragon that needs a good home. I just can't keep up with him and he's upsetting my family. He goes by the name of Bluebug This dragon is parrot sized and as loud as one. His scales are a bright, vibrant blue that change hues when the light hits. His wings are average size, allowing him to fly and glide around your head when you stop working. He's loud and takes to parroting what people say, though it takes him awhile to articulate the words, and even when he can speak, it sounds garbled. So far he's learned the phrases "I'm hungry." "Get back to work." "Stop goofing around" and "I'ma Bite you." Smart and cunning he is sure to learn even more phrases, if you work with him. Bluebug is a really sweet dragon; he loves nothing more than to curl up on your lap, head or shoulder while you work. He enjoys fast paced writing and his little tail begins to twitch when a good paragraph is about to be written. If you fail to reach your goal for the day he will wreck havoc upon you and your house. He'll knock over drinks and scatter newspapers, play with the toilet paper rolls and bruise your apples and banana's. He'll also scream. Loudly. So... as long as you make sure he's fed he'll be a real sweetie, just... watch out when he says "I'ma bite you." he means it, you probably really ticked him off.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Bluebug sounds like my perfect word count dragon. He might even work in tandem with my hellhound to fend off my roommate when she becomes a nuisance. The sad thing, is that I haven't yet found a little wordcount dragon to offer up to someone else yet. I'll post here when I do, and I surely will soon!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:57:53 -0500

Awesome! I'm sure he'll be very happy with you! He will certainly help fend off pesky roommates, especially if you're writing at the time. He does love his words!

I have my hands full of dragons at the moment. Perhaps someone would like to take Octavian off my hands. Octavian is a silver dragon with a slight sheen of purple and green to his scales in the right sunlight and big leathery wings. He is about the size of a large cat, and believes that everything you do is surely his business. He loves to listen to your stories, watching you with bright purple eyes. He has a thin crest along the top of his head, and a soft mane of fur along his spine to pet while you ponder your next sentences. While you plot he will murmur beside you, mimicking your tone and pitch in his best attempt to "help". He gets along well with cats and birds, but he will probably square off with any dog so beware!

I'll take Octavian off of your hands! <3 He sounds just lovely - and I'm sure he'll be able to help me with some of my characters more annoying speech habits. c: I'll post here when I find a wordcount dragon of my own to offer a new home, but for not Octa and I will get to work on this new chapter!

jademortel — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:14:46 -0500

I uh... found another dragon on my doorstep. I seem to just attract them... but I can't feed them all, they'll drain me dry! So here is Garth. He's a pretty big guy, about the size of a St. Bernard dog. It's really hard to miss him, as his scales are bright yellow. He has no wings, instead he has spikes down his spine and ending in a pointed tail. His claws are orange, as are his spikes. His eyes are a dull golden color that carry a spark of unending amusement. He has curved rams horns and a long thin snout with teeth that poke out over his bottom jaw (yes, he has an overbite. No... don't tease him about it). Garth likes to think he's a lap dragon, so please be sure to take care of his claws. He also seems to be a bit clumsy and he's not quite aware of where his tail is at all times, so watch out for that too. He subsists completely off of words, specifically the words you write. He's friendly with all people, unless they start to bug you (when you're writing). If you are disturbed while writing he will come to your defense and growl, most threateningly, until said pest has vacated the room. He gets along well with other animals, of all sizes. If you fail to meet your word quota for the day don't expect to sleep in your bed. He'll become to worst bed hog you've ever met and kick you out every time to try to lay down (if this happens please try to write 500 words, he might let you sleep then).

I have a Dragon who is in desperate need of a good person to take care of him : his name is Zantor, he's a a Blue dragon with brown spikes down his back. his eyes are golden but they change colors sometimes. (i think he gets bored with them) he loves to help you in any way to keep that word count up, from bringing you energy drinks from the fridge to whacking you over the head with a book. (so loving) i'v had him since i started nanowrimo (three years ago) but he wanted to try a new home for a bit. i need him back at the end of the month but change is good(: He can also be a little on the sarcastic side and he loves to sing. his singing isn't really singing it's more of.. humming. i guess. and watch out for overloads on FF5.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:13:03 -0500

Of course you can! I'm sure he'll get along with your cat, and if he doesn't just write an extra 250 words a day during November to keep the peace =)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:22:09 -0500

Actually, Garth was adopted! But I have another dragon if you'd like? She joined me last year but expressed an interest in trying out a new home. Her name is Sarah. She's smaller than Garth, by about a foot and a half, though she is longer and leaner. Her scales are a beautiful dark bronze color and her eyes are a striking blue. She's quick both on her feet and with her mind. She comes up with dastardly plots to keep you on track with your writing, like hiding your school books and threatening to get rid of them if you don't work or stealing away your electronics (missing an Ipod? Phone? Hmm... better write 300 words and see if they turn up). Sarah is also a lap dragon, though she’s much more gentle with the way she goes about getting up into your lap. She is able to spit smoke but hasn’t quite managed fire yet. And if you fall behind be prepared to face a smoky room! She doesn’t have a favorite drink, but she loves anything hot, (She seems fond of apple cider at the moment). Over all she can be a handful but she's a wonderful companion, and very loyal. If you'd like her she'd be interested in coming to live with you!

Anastasia is a wonderful little teal dragon with pearly white eyes and fins. I found her washed up in my yard one rainy morning. She's the tiniest little thing, no larger than the palm of my hand. She spends her days swimming around the small fish bowl next to her master's computer. If you're particularly good to her, she'll draw patterns of light in the water to entertain you. But be careful to keep her content; if you get on this little gal's bad side then she'll spit water all over your house. If you leave your writing too long then you might come home to find your entire house flooded. She may be a water dragon, but this sassy creature is a spit-fire. She'll keep you on track whether you like it or not.

Leaving: Mac: A small red dragon. He is extremely intelligent and goes good with Science-Fiction. He's not to fond of fantasy so beware if you have an Angel. He is also sometimes deletes sentences and replaces them with better ones. He gives you a stern look if your not writing. He absolutely LOVES researching so at night when you are sleeping or out of the house he'll be doing scientific research. Or maybe even writing his own NaNoWriMo. Also... He's not very good with people so please don't try to introduce him to other people unless you want a nice sunburn.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Oh dear. They are going fast. I need a relatively small (Bigger is okay too, though cat sized is preferable) but growing dragon that needs a lot of wordcount (to whip me into shape. ;D) One that doesn't drink coffee, because I don't, and gets along well with cats. (I've got two) Almost any personality will do, but I really like the feisty ones, as long as they're not opposed to cuddle every once and awhile.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

LindseyyySueee — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:30:22 -0500

I am looking for a small wordcount dragon(preferably about the size of your palm, but a little bigger is okay). It must get along well with dogs (I have three and I love them). They should be understanding in case I get a a bunch of homework one night, but they shouldn't let me slack off for no good reason. They must like to listen to music while we write, because I cannot write without music!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:38:36 -0500

Well I've got the perfect dragon for you, well at least I hope I do. ^^ Enya is a small dragon, about the size of a 2 month old kitten. One of her pastimes is keeping a strict schedule, so as soon as you fall into a routine she will make sure that you stick to it! Watch out, it's hard to get her to change, but it is doable! Her scales are black, her tail tip is a club with red stripes that light up in the dark, she's a perfect little nightlight. She doesn't breath fire, instead it seems as if her saliva is luminescent, so if you turn out the lights and you see something glowing then she probably licked it or drooled on it. (she drools when happy, but insists that she doesn't do such a thing). Her eyes are hazel, her snout is short and she has no horns or wings, but she seems to have sticky feet, and takes to clinging to the ceiling above you while you write. If you get off track (facebook/twitter/tumblr ect.) She'll remind you of your work and drop down on your head. She's gentle and is very careful not to hurt anyone, including her writer, but that doesn't mean that she can't be intimidating! She's got a voracious appetite, requiring more words than your average wordcount dragon. But if you can keep her well fed and happy then you won't have any problems. She doesn't like to drink coffee, but she enjoys the smell of it, maybe as a treat you could get her a cup just to smell? She does love a cup of warm milk, it's her weak spot really. If she's not fed on time Enya will cause you some problems, urging any animals in the house to bug you and be on their worst behavior (she has quite a way with other animals). Do you think you could give her a home? I'm getting tired of having a dragon drop on my head and my cat glows in the dark since Enya grooms him at night...

KatKristin — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:25:09 -0500

Ooh! I would love to adopt Enya. I really need to stick with my schedule and need a more challenging wordcount to actually keep on tract. She sounds perfect for me to bring home, I'm sure my kitten won't mind glowing in the dark since she'll have a new playmate. ^_^ In addition I found this little dragon on my way home. His name is Scorch and he really is a hyper bugger, when he's not napping anyways. His orange fluffy scales stand out a bit but make it so he's a great cuddle buddy. The perfect size to fit in your lap and still let you type. The best way to keep him happy is to write in short focused frenzies, Scorch has some adhd issues and can't stay focused for long. but he's does a really good job inspiring you to get a lot done as long as you give him a short break now and then. but he gets really depressed if you don't get back to writing afterwards, and he has the tendancy to set things on fire when he's depressed. If someone would have a place for him they're welcome to take this little guy home.

Ruffian1313 — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:27:03 -0500

How about Reginald? He's a tiny dragon, but don't be fooled! He has lots of fire! He has black scales with gold horns and gold feather wings along with a golden feather tipped tail. He is about the size of the average human hand. He has a long body and tail, but his leg are on the short side. What he lacks in legs he makes up for in wing span. His wings are about four feet each. he loves music and dogs! The perfect beasts for a ride. He is very understanding but come the end of the week you better be on track, he can be a little grumpy some times.

You might like to meet Phillipe the dancing dragon. Oh man, can this guy bust a move. Honestly, he can get a bit distracting. But I wouldn't let him sing, if I were you. He has a terrible voice. The great thing about Phillipe is that he's the partying kind of dragon. Phillipe has never met a person or animal that he can't get along with. He's pretty laid back, too, and will spend the whole day sleeping or playing video games if you have better things to do. Of course, this dragon isn't all frat-boy. If he thinks you're not feeding him enough then he'll personally sing you a song--and trust me, you won't get a wink of sleep until you work up some kind of satisfactory word count. The only think Phillipe loves more than partying is food.

You might be interested in Adrian. He is a sweetheart that is totally sympathetic to student woes. A pearly green, slightly larger than a parrot, Adrian will crack down to make sure you are not procrastinating for any of your given tasks. He's just learning to use his wings, which may be pretty distracting, but he'll adore your cats. Adrian is very playful and I'm sure he would like to be in a home with other animals.

Looking for a Wordcount dragon. Any size is fine. It must be able to get along with cats, though. I tend to get distracted by other things on the computer, so it should be defensive if I am not working on my novel. Nothing to leave, sorry.

Looking for a dragon with a good sense of humor. Something onthe small side, smaller then a cat but bigger then a hamster. And he has to keep me on track from day to day! I don't get much homework, so he can be tough, but mustn't be too hard. A manipulative dragon would be very helpful! Preferably a male, but female is okay as long as she isn't too annoying. Must like fantasy novels, cats, hellhounds, dogs and a cerial loving Angel. I'm leaving Daphney: She's a pure white dragon with silver feathered wings and claws. She has ram like horns on her head, a square head, thick neck and muscular body. She is about the size of a large cat. Daph is very friendly and can be missleading. She's sweat and seems like she'd never hurt a fly. If you fall behind...trust me...she'll kick you butt or eat it. She like a steady food source, if you don't give her at least 1667 words a day she'll get upset and may eat you.... She gets along fine with hellhounds, plot cats, angels and other pets such as kids.

Oh you might like Azazel. She's a white-scaled dragon about as big as a CD, but don't think she'll go unnoticed. She loves flying around the house and will gladly play with cats and other small animals. She tends to fly around your head quite a bit if she gets even the slightest bit hungry, so make sure not to let that happen! She's quite high maintenance, but trust me, she's well worth it!

I'm looking for a dragon who won't be too hard on me, preferably a sarcastic one who enjoys black iced tea with lemon and snuggling somewhere on my persona as I sweat over my first ever NaNoWriMo. Leaving: Tora is a curious, playful dragon, about the size of a small housecat. She has bright blue eyes and a frill on her head, as well as red batlike wings and grey scales. She will blow smoke at you and make you sneeze incessantly as well as drinking all your coffee if you fail to meet your word goal, but she won't resort to violence.

I'm looking for a dragon. It can be any size, as long as it's cat- and child-friendly. Must be able to tolerate living in a multi-writer household, but still be loyal to a single caretaker. I can provide the dragon with chocolate milk and homemade bread if I don't quite make word count some days; I have a lot a lot a lot of homework. I love it when pets make physical contact (laps, shoulders, ankles, arms, whatever). It also wouldn't hurt my feelings if the dragon was exotic-looking. =D

Leaving Jun, a small, turquoise dragon with white horns and a long scaly tail like a mermaid's. He likes to curl across writers' shoulders and watch the screen as they type. He is very forgiving about when the words come in, as long as they happen sometime before midnight; however, if procrastinating becomes a habit, he might start nipping at your fingers to get you to move them faster. If you get honestly stuck, he might start feeding you ideas so you can feed him words. Jun really likes human company and will tend to follow you to school or work just to see what you do with your days. He is very social, and will be nice to almost anyone he's introduced to. Jun likes fantasy, sci-fi, romance, and anything with citrus in it.

I'm looking for a dragon that won't be too easy on me, because it'll know that this is my fifth year, but one which will also understand that I'm going through some family problems right now and really just need someone to snuggle. Leaving: Callahan is a very doting elderly dragon, with a wrinkled emerald green hide and broad, dark green wings. He's quite fond of perching on your shoulder and reminding you that, yes, dear, you do need to write today, I'm getting quite hungry and I know you want to finish that scene, don't you? and the next chapter needs starting too. Truly a sweetheart, Callahan, even if he can occasionally be a little passive aggressive.

Dear me these little ones keep popping up. I've got my hands full with my wonderful Terra, she's hard enough to feed! So Here is little Rachel. Rachel is definitely a dragon with an eye for Romance. She loves the soppy romantic scenes and gushes when the guy brings flowers to the door. Yes, she's quite the romantic. Candle lit dinner, moonlit walk on the beach. Need I say more? She'd be most happy with someone who is planning on writing a lot of romantic moments. Rachel is the size of a hedgehog. She has brown scales and most people would think she's not much to look at, except for her wings, they are bronze butterfly wings that shimmer in the light. She loves to flit around and hardly ever settles on a surface. If you get off track she'll bite your ears and nose. Her saliva has some... interesting properties in it and, depending on the person, can cause swelling, pain, boils, rash and discoloring. She's a very happy little girl and spends a lot of her time daydreaming in the sun. She enjoys the smell of roses and loves to play matchmaker for everyone nearby, including your characters. So... if one night you go to write and find that Sally and Joe kissed, your culprit is probably sleeping on your bed, pretending to be innocent.

My Cats discovered this boy hiding in their toy box. Rupert is a small dragon, very small, about the size of a praying mantis. He has small light green feathery wings and a rather fluffy dark green body. Although he's small, he packs a punch. He's a dragon that deals with sound and can let out sounds that could shatter glass. So, best to meet your word quota for the day. If loud noises don't bother you then he'll take to other ways to get you to write, such as bugging your animals and family with noises. If that doesn't work he'll venture to your neighbors house... He is a very smart dragon and tends to quickly work around any problems that pop up. He loves his words and will keep away all those pesky problems (like phone calls and family). Don't... worry if your phone goes missing or your land line becomes disconnected, as soon as you meet your word quota everything will return to normal! He loves to travel with you, wherever you go, and loves meeting new people. He doesn't seem to mind other animals, even cats. If cats go after him (my little ones thought he was a toy) he'll let out a blast of sound in their direction and hopefully they'll learn that he's not something to bat at (mine sure did!). He enjoys nibbling on anything sweet and tends to gorge himself on potato chips, so be careful about that.

Rupert sounds so perfect! Does he have a sister, by any chance? I have an excess of words here, my little guy can only eat one thousand words a day, and Rupert sounds small enough to eat whatever is left over. I'm planning on writing eighty thousand words, so I think I can feed two dragons.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 23:52:09 -0500

He doesn't have a sister but I think I might have found a close cousin! If you're racing to eighty thousand then you probably could feed a whole flock of dragons! So I have Cora here. She, like Rupert, has an affinity for sound, except she is a bit more creative with her noises, and she's more melodious. She loves to sing and hum, and Cora will quickly learn any song you let her listen too. She's very susceptible to ear-worms, so watch what songs you let her listen too, or you may very well here her hum the same one all day! She's small, about the size of a songbird. She has feathery wings that are grey and a scaly body that is light blue. Her eyes are a stunning orange color. She seems a hodgepodge of all sorts of colors (for her claws are light green) but that just adds to her mystery, doesn't it? She doesn't like harsh noises and wants to fill the world with wonderful sounds. She prefers to share her emotions through songs. Too keep you on track she'll mess up the songs on your playlist or sit humming/singing your least favorite song until you get back to work. She gets along great with cats and can even urge them to yowl and howl when you stop writing and fall behind. Cora is very attune to when you are behind on your word count and will first gently urge you to get back to work before enlisting the help of cats or screwing around with your playlists.

Leaving: Zain Zain is a bright red tiny dragon with orange freckles all over his back that resemble itty bitty flames. Zain usually likes to sit on the top of my laptop, precariously perched on the thing that keeps it closed (I just did 2000 words in an hour. Bear with me. Zzzzzzz) He is about an inch long and an inch wide (He's sort of a big boy!) and he usually is content to just sit and dangle his feet while you write. When you meet your wordcount, he goes wherever you go and sits on your shoulder patiently until nighttime, when you go to bed, he lays in your computer, finishing his meal for the day. But if there isn't enough, he'll breathe fire and roast your words like smores, and if you even think about going to sleep when you're not done with your wordcount met, he will lay on your head and pull out your hair. One strand at a time.

Leaving Silas, a lime-green; venomous little dragon about the size of a house-cat. He loves sitting in your lap while you're writing; and purrs very loudly when you're ahead of your goal! But be warned - when you miss that goal he tends to blow smoke rings in your face and sometimes sets random things on fire until you get back on track. During the day he curls up under the desk and rests; is very active during the night (I suggest a night owl adopt this little guy!). His favorite food is sea-food. Keep him away from junk food however or you'll never have a moments peace and he'll get your plot all tangled up in knots!

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Driftwings — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 07:18:05 -0500

Leaving Ruby, a fiery girl small enough to curl around your wrist like a bracelet. Her red scales gleam brightly in any light and five golden bells hang from her tail; swishing silently until she sense a risk to her owner, when rung the bells sound like a music box playing a favorite tune. She loves eating junk food and will eat everything she can get her claws on (lock the sweets up!). She also gives off a constant hum of warmth; easing the chills of a cold/flu and making one feel comfortable no matter how stressful their day was. Her preferred place is around the wrist of her owner, watching the word count go up, but should you neglect your word count she is likely to bite at your fingers until she draws blood.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

jooberry — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 08:22:37 -0500

I want a dragon! I'm not picky about color, but I'd prefer female since by book takes place in a female dominated society. I'm leaving: Choteau. He's a cute golden-brown color with amber eyes. He's the size of a large cat. He loves to stretch out next to your keyboard, unless you stop typing. Then he'll lay right on top. He's really very sweet unless you don't make your word count... Then beware, he'll eat cherished household pets if he doesn't get his fill of words. :)

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

CatOfManyWhiskers — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:31:03 -0500

HELP! PLEASE! I have a dragon here who I can't take care of and he's just destroying everything! D: I would feed him if I could, but I have enough only for my own wordcount dragon, Lit, and he's just horrible when he's starving. I feel awful, but I have a feeling that if I did feed him I'd collapse under the pressure. I hope someone competitive out there can take care of him! I've currently got him locked in my closet in my room and my hellcat is keeping him under control and feeding him some old stories I once wrote. He said his name is Zale. He's big, maybe the size of a great dane (like I said, BIG), with midnight blue scales and sizzling electric blue spines down his back and tail. His eyes are also electric blue and his wings have glowing electric blue veins webbing through the skin flaps. He seems like an OK guy (when he's fed, obviously) but he'll push you very hard to keep up with your word count, and then cajole you to add buffer for later times when you can't do as much. He likes to chase plot bunnies and plot cats, so if you have one be careful, but he gets along fine with hell hounds. He won't drink coffee or tea, but insists on aged burgundy wine in a glass (don't ask me where he got that kind of taste). I know he sounds like a handful, but honestly I can't do anything and I'd love to see the guy in a good home. Oh, and he adores complicated plots with sub plots and lots of details. He says they add 'spice.'

Well I've got twin girls here, one is Margaret, though she hates her name. She is a deep purple with white flecks around her eyes. In between stealing sips of hot chocolate and snuggling up under your chin, her guineapig size makes her perfect for following you around your house as you procrastinate by doing silly things like going to the bathroom and raiding the by now empty fridge. Looking up at you with big bright teal eyes she begs for munchies. Now if I can find the other little buggar around here somewhere I'll show her to you... Give me a minute...

So, I opened my door this morning to see the light (NaNoWriMo do that to anyone else?) and I saw a little wordcount dragon sitting on my steps. Her name is Cassie and she is a little thing not much bigger than the size of a toy poodle and she weighs about four pounds. She is a fuzzy little dragon, her feet are bigger than anything else on her, and her nose is kinda long. Her back isn't furry, just her nose, head, and her feet. She has the tiniest of little white wings that look like gossamer and she loves to sit on your lap and purr while you give her yummy words. When you don't have enough, she sits on whatever you are trying to look out and she just pouts to you, crying, She likes Bananas.

Does anyone have a home for my friend Matisse? She's a bit miffed with me you see, i keep spending too much time on the internet, and not enough writing. If she sees you doing anything but working on your novel she can be stern, and her long black tail is quite an effective whip. She's really quite lovely as long as you stay on task her happy rumble is just like a cat's purr. And she's so warm, perfect to have around in the cool fall weather. Her black scales are matte, so she's like a little light void that follows you around. She's about the size of a parrot, and like a parrot she enjoys perching on your shoulder. Though if you ask her very nicely she will lay across your hands to keep them warm. I just don't have room for her AND my other dragon ADHD. I hope someone can take her.

Oh dear. I'm afraid my own dragon and I just don't see eye to eye! So I need one who's pretty patient. I tend to procrastinate, but y'see, the more breaks I take the more I get to write between them (no, seriously)! And maybe even a little dragon who'll give me little ideas now and then, even if it's just one word for me to chew on. Anyone know of such a wondrous dragon? And here I'll tearfully leave my own: Gabriel is a bit of a hard touch, I'm afraid. He's very stubborn and the moment he gets a word count in his head he's stuck to it! He might even tell you something ridiculous like ten thousand words in three days! You see, he's a bit small, about two feet tall sitting on his haunches, and he is very self-conscious about this seeing as he is incredibly spunky, so he is very eager to be fed high word counts to get bigger! He likes to sit on keyboards when people are procrastinating, causing all sorts of havoc. And as big as he is, he loves draping around shoulders like a scarf to keep writers nice and toasty during the cold November when they're writing like good dragon owners. Anyone think they can handle such a feisty grey dragon?

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

RoboKitty — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 16:23:47 -0500

I can help. I have Alex. She's got a fiery temper and bites pretty hard when you don't fulfill your wordcount needs. She's kind of a hopeless romantic, which will fit your story well, but you'll have to keep her away from boys. She's a royal purple, and pretty easy to keep track of. She's definitely up for anything you want to throw at her.

I recently found her floating all alone and needs someone to help write. Her name is Abi, she's a little on the pink side, much to her dismay, but she makes up for it in character. She's constantly reminding me to take breaks so I don't overwrite. She's also very strict about making deadlines, you have a reputation to uphold after all. She has yellow, almost golden, rounded spikes along her back and small fangs that make all the boys go crazy, but keep them at a satisfactory distance as well. You can trust her to stay focused and keep you focused as well. If you decide to take her, take good care of her! If not, she's free to a good home!

Here we go again, another dragon turned up on my door step. Ace is a dragon with a long snout and rather sharp pointy teeth. He's learned out to do this sort of grin where all his teeth show. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to understand that when he 'smiles' it scares most people in the room. he has bright, neon green scales and glows in the dark when the lights are out, hope you don't mind a constant light source hanging out on your bed. He is about the size of a Dachshund dog, and about as long as one too. He enjoys coiling up beside your computer screen and then staring at you with orange eyes. His wings are small, pretty useless too, as he can't fly or glide with them, but they do help in showing his emotions. When angry he will fold his wings up tight to his body, when surprised they flare out in an attempt to make him look bigger. When happy or excited the very tip of his tail twitches madly and his wings begin to flutter. To keep you on track Ace will disconnect your internet to prevent you from going to facebook or other social sites (and to stop you from looking at the adoptable Wordcount Dragon thread, you already have one to feed darn it, pay attention!) if that fails to work he'll begin to carve messages (Words! Feed me! Hungry! Nomnoms!) into any food object, including: apples, oranges, watermelons, pumpkins, turkey's, pies and other such things. He'll open potato chips bags and leave them to stale and open your soda's just enough to allow them to go flat. Sometimes you won't even realize he's done something until months later, after NaNo is over. He'll also hide your chocolate stash or replace all your chocolate with cheap odd tasting brands. He enjoys spending time with his writer, reading books and sometimes playing scrabble (he's very good at it, mind you.) Ace never actually speaks, in fact I don't think I've really heard him make any sounds. He is also the dragon for you during December, he LOVES to spell check. He understands the importance of not spell checking during November but will be more than happy to help you in December.

Leaving Meemo! A very clumsy little green dragon, always stumbling into your hands, pressing extra keys on the computer to up your word count. He finds vowels especially delicious. When you reach your word count target each day, he will adjust his teeny tiny little reading glasses and munch his way through your delectable plot. Don't leave him unfed by dandering on game sites and facebook, because one night, if your word count is not complete, this clumsy little Meemo might just 'accidently' pour hot candle wax into your eyes...oops.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Elwen Ithildin — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:49:07 -0500

May I adopt him? :) He would fit perfectly to my angel Noel, they could play scrabble together when I'm finished typing :D And I'd love to have a little help with the spell-checking - plus, since I'm a bit afraid of the dark, he would be perfect :D I hope he doesn't mind a fantasy story with character deaths.... Which is why I leave the little dragon Poppy. She is very cute, one of the rare fluffy dragons. Her fur is violet and she has black eyes, she has the size of a cat. She loves to lie around your neck (which is very good if you have a cold) but when you are not up to your word-count she gets really angry and may burn you. She does not need much food but she loves chocolate - so be careful if you're drinking a hot chocolate while typing ;) Her sleeping habits depend on her owner - she goes to sleep when you do and is more than glad when she can cuddle up to you. She doesn't like violence or character deaths and she is scared easily.

I'm leaving a small, red dragon with blue eyes called Feuer. His name is German for fire. He's rather a calm little dragon, who's the right size to perch on your shoulder and watch you write. However, if you get behind he's likely to cause some damage. Damage by burning anything he can reach from his perch on your shoulder. Here's hoping he finds a good home.

A dragon turned up in my dorm lounge today, said her name was Azzie, short for Azalea. She's got robin's egg blue scales and is about the size of a pug. She's only 3 months old. She LOVES to be read aloud to and she's just fine with plot tantrums. She likes large wordcounts, especially if you can throw some ketchup on them. She likes to snack on things like facebook and twitter, so if you value social networking don't go on them until she is satiated with a nice big word count. Also, she sneezes fire when she's hungry. And sometimes your notes will catch fire, like mine did.

Leaving: Chaos- a rather large dragon who, despite his name, is actually quite docile and amiable. He would love to follow you around wherever you go, nibbling on your paper trail of words and ideas. He will make an excellent companion when you are out and about and need an excuse to write, for he is ALWAYS hungry. Think of him as the dog under your dinner table. But, watch out for his fire-breathing habits, that is when you will come to appreciate his name. For if you fail to feed him he will bust a seam and breath fire all over your schedule so that you won't know one day from another, hence chaos as you try to catch up on that word count! I am leaving him fully stuffed from a gluttonous meal; however, so if you want to adopt him he is as happy as a bear ready to hibernate right now! :-) I also leave: Sticky- small and wiry, this little fella has a knack for shutting down my internet connection. Perfect when you should be NaNoing :-) But a little aggravating when you desperately need to finish a homework assignment. Sticky might even go as far as chewing through an ether net cable if he doesn't get fed enough yummy words! And don't think you can escape him by going to your local coffee shop, for he is a quick-witted and down right sneaky dragon who can fly faster than jet plane and beat you to that coffee shop with internet, and thus Facebook, access. So, with Sticky, you have no hope of getting distracted by any social networking site...unless it's Nanowrimo.org and you happen to be updating your word count :-)

"Come back here Jade! No! No chewing on my drawings! Stop that! ...Gotcha!" Sorry, this is Jade. Twin to Margaret, who now has a home, Jade is also a bright purple dragon with white specks. Unlike her sister, however, Jade's white specks are all along her back, almost like a deer fawn, but with a heck of a lot more. Jade and Margaret both turned up at my work, and though they get along well with our office cat, Jade tends to bug her more than she probably should. Jade and Margaret are the size of guineapigs, so it's quite comical to watch Jade chasing Margaret around the office when the cat just wants to be left alone to sleep. Jade is a bit quick tempered and a little nippy when she doesn't have her daily dose of munchies. So just keep her well fed and you won't have to worry about her eating every scrap of paper you dare leave unattended.

I think I've got what you're looking for. I saw a large westy ambling down the road nipping at discarded newspapers and trash and couldn't pass him up. He's a tad taller than a large sized dog, but only because his neck is longer. A big coppery brown color, he's got large wings and sharp spines all down his back. Two long horns on his head twist around a bit, and a pair of small ears flick back and forth when he's agitated. I've been trying to feed him since I got home, but I thought you might like him better. With large claws and the ability to breathe fire, I hope you keep him well fed lest he attack your library and other paperwork!

Leaving: I think you might be looking for my little Kouyou. She's sapphire-blue, about yay tall, and sits on my shoulder tugging at my earring when I stop writing. If I do not write or start watching online episodes of my favorite tv shows, she will bite. Hard. And try and destroy artwork and furniture. Most of the time, if unprovoked, she is quite sweet. Is fond of chocolate, angels, kittens, and butlers.

Looking for: A kitten sized or smaller dragon, male or female, preferably the kind that's patient then snaps. Must get along with one kitsune, possibly two, one of which is fairly bossy. If you find any like this, thank you. Leaving: Kera, a pale white dragon the size of a medium-sized cat with pretty gray rosette/stripish patterns on her scales. She's a little tempered when you don't get a good solid 1700 words each day, and doesn't like settling for 1667, biting, nibbling, sometimes clawing you when you don't give her enough. She doesn't like spelling mistakes, but will chew on the keyboard/pen when you aren't writing. She'll be convinced to ignore writers block if you fix that with some cupcakes, especially with rainbow sprinkles on them. When you're done righting for the day, she'll be nice, and cuddle with you, blowing smoke rings and little spurts of flame. But beware: She'll chase plot cats away.

Well, I only just found him on my way home, but he seemed to neither feel agitated nor aggressive toward my newfound dragon Zale. He keeps to himself a bit, but once you get to writing is a real cuddlebug. Gyr is his name, but he won't tell me what it's short for. Perhaps you can find out? He has been putting his claws to good use since I got home, not really letting me eat in peace as he paws at my clothes in an attempt to be fed himself. Now I have nice holes in my clothes. I brought out my sketchbook for some notetaking but he stole it and munched on it a bit until I finally sat down and started writing. He's very protective and growls aggressivly at anything that brings procrastination, but I'm sure if your other helpers are productive he won't give them much trouble unless they interfere with your ability to actually just sit down and produce words.

Leaving: Kair is a nice sized two year old dragon, his skin is a rainbow color until you procrastinate and not finish your daily word count. Then he turns red. And he is no bigger than a small puppy. He loves to eat words. And when you stop writing, He'll come and give you a very stern look and drink all your soda,, pop, and coffee. But when you do reach word count and stop, he'll give you eyes that motivate you to write more to make him happy

Leaving: Zita is a tiny little dragon, about the size of a finch, and enjoys sitting on top of your head, to better peer at your screen for the word count. Don't be fooled by her size, though - tiny teeth have sharp points! When hungry, she makes high-pitched keening noises that makes her sound more distressed than a crying baby. When satisfied, she makes contented little squeaks and chitters, though she's not above begging for extra words. A little speed-demon, her specialty is dive-bombing your hands whenever you reach for that backspace key. She has a secret weakness for facebook and other social networking sites, but stay there too long and she'll get bored and start to make embarrassing status updates.

Aero has been with me since about mid October, I found him curled up in the pumpkin I had carved. He's hung with me until today, when he told me he wanted to try out a Sci Fi or a Steampunk story. I guess my Fantasy just isn't enough for the little guy. He's a bit of a prankster... he enjoys placing fake spiders on your food and switching sugar for salt, harmless pranks really. He also loves tinkering. So if you find gears and clockwork bits strewn about your floors or tables it's best not to mess with it, Aero will be working on putting something together. His scales are a muddy yellow brown, though he may not be a looker he quite makes up for all that with his personality. He's funny and excitable, enjoys adventure and mystery's. Aero seems to always have a witty remark at the ready. He has a fascination with flying and seems to enjoy making metal wing gizmo's. None of them have worked yet but he's not giving up! If you fail to reach your goal then he'll put together some gizmo to annoy you. Whether its a noise producing object that he hides or something that randomly changes your TV channels or kills off your internet, he'll do his darnedest to make something to annoy you. And if his gizmo's don't work... well best be on your toes in case he decides to revert to fake snakes and spiders.

ShinyFox, you're practically a dragon magnet! I thought you might want to know how Cora is doing. She is quite irritated that I don't, in fact, have a playlist, but she's found other ways to keep me on track (She's breathing down my neck right now!) among those which are curling around my alarm clock and pretending to be it, making me wake up at midnight to finish my word count if necassary, and I know if I don't, she'll mute it in the morning so I oversleep. That won't be a problem tomorrow, I'll turn it off anyways, but she won't have to resort to that because I'll be getting tons done. She's taken too listening to interesting conversations in the halls, then playing them back to me. A bad habit, but it is interesting to hear some things people say. It’s a good thing that she loves apples, because we have bunch of the best apples in the world growing right on our tree. (Well, we just picked them) Even she says they're the best she's had, and she's an expert on that matter. She likes herbal tea as well, a good thing because I do too. She’s also decided that its fun to sit inside the piano while I’m playing it. She makes the songs I play sound lots better. :D She’s getting along very well with Scorch, who, by the way KatKristin, is also doing very well. He has made a new friend, Wilbert, the snake which is the class pet in my biology class. He sits with his nose pressed against the window, watching him the entire class. They seem to like eachother, but I can't be sure about Wilbert, because he mainly just lays coiled up all day.

Oh yes, and I have a dragon for someone: Crescientia. A moon dragon, sort of a ghost dragon if you will, for whom the solidity of objects is all mixed up. She is silver, and has no wings, but can swim through the air. She has large fins that are almost like wings though, floaty and lacy like those of a gold-fish, which also sparkle silver. She can walk on water (Its sort of a cross between a trampoline and a pillow for her) And solid ground is, well solid ground. But she can move through wooden objects as if they weren't even there. She's the size of a computer keypad, with stormy gray eyes and silver teeth. Everything about her is silver, really. Her scales are about the size and shape of sunflower seeds. She has the power to make holograhic (don't know what else to call it) doubles of herself. She has a calm personality for the most part, and she doesn't need too much word count, but she needs a lot of love, and is perfect for cuddling up too. And here is Bumblebee: Bumblebee is around the size of a medium sized dog, and as his name suggests, has black and yellow stripes. The yellow parts are fuzzy, the black parts are scaly. His wings, while bat-like, are clear and veined like that of a bees, and his long thin horns that arch backwards look almost like antenae. He is very energetic, with a huge apetite, and growing. By the time Nano ends he should be the size of a small elephant. If not, you've underfed him He can be overprotective at times, and be warned, he thinks he's still little enough to sit on your lap. Since he's partly furry, he's the perfect companion to cuddle up to on a cold November day. I'll want to know how they're doing! Give them good homes. :D

I have twin dragons that don't get along with each other very well so I'm giving one up for adoption! Plösö is mostly grey but if you can feed it suitable material it can change her colour as it grows. I recommend self-insert fan-fic: if she gets a good doze of Mary-Sue regularly she can even develop into the kind of dragon that can change its colour according to its mood! I also suggest scifi themes to encourage proper wing growth. Other than that Plösö is largely overweight so be prepared to feed her well. It's the money's worth, though, since her mere presence can warm up a small size house or an apartment and you can also use her small flame as a lamp. (Cooking on the flame is naturally possible, but I have avoided doing that since it leaves a sulfurous aftertaste.) Think of the savings in electricity and heating! Besides if you manage to help her grow proper wings you can also use her for transportation. She's got a lovely character, if a bit dull, but at least you won't have to worry about her lighting things on fire or clawing through the carpets. Plösö is very quiet so she's suitable for an apartment as well. Note that you cannot use her as a house guard - she loves all humans and is not picky at all, so in case of burglary she would very likely be helpfully lighting the way for the criminals instead of apprehending or roasting them. D: Please give her a good, loving home!

I'd love to take Zita! She sounds made for me. I'm picturing her purplish-red. Leaving: Kylie is about the size and shape of a bulldog, powerfully built with thick, sturdy legs. She has bright green eyes, dull gold scales, and large, bird-like claws, and likes to sit on your lap as you write. She's reasonably lenient about internet use, but she will not let you leave your desk for any reason until she's been fed for the day. She takes particular delight in munching on fight scenes and snappy dialogue. Beware: If you try to go to bed without reaching quota, she's likely to plop down on your chest and make annoying noises until you sigh, get out of bed, and fire off another couple hundred words.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shinyfox — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 16:32:41 -0500

Yes, I seem to be don't I? I think it might be the fact that I spat out 12k words in 3 days that brought most of them to my doorstep... They think I can feed them all (But this is just not the case)! I'm so glad she loves your apples & tea! I didn't even think to offer her tea! She is very inventive, isn't she? I'd go nutso being woken up at midnight or missing my classes! It might be a bad habit to listen and parrot conversations back, but think of all the ideas you could get for your book eh? Although... you might want to watch what you say around her, she might start parroting what YOU say to other people! I'm so glad you two are getting along! And that she's getting along with Scorch! I'd love to keep in contact with you and hear how Cora is doing and any other little quirks she's revealed to you!

So, I'm here to offer Octavian's sister for adoption. She's a little silver spitfire of a dragon, with bright blue eyes and soft feathery wings. Her scales shine with blue and purple in the sunlight. She likes to cuddle with cats, and she will happily begin to knock things off shelves if left unfed. When you are writing or plotting, she will sit diligently by your side and thrum softly to encourage you. She has an amazing repertoire of sound effects, and enjoys making "water" sounds the best; babbling brooks, gentle waterfalls, rain... toilets flushing, sinks dripping.... the more you write the more pleasant sounds she makes, the less you write.... well.

I found these buggers well over five years ago, meet Desieon and her twins Ember and Zieed (; DESIEON, a beautiful silver dragon with patches of auburn ones scattered across her stout body. She is aproxamitly the size of an adult cat, with a wing span of three feet from tip to tip. Her eyes are completely white, her retnas and even her pupils are a pearly white. She has two small horns above her eyes, for protection, she tells me but i swear they are for word count drops more than 300 words. Desieon is a very lax dragon, she loves laps and shoulders. She enjoys cups of juice rather than coffee or tea. She enjoying long flights above the furnature and doing flips and dives. Des doesn't really get along with really authoritive Plot Cats so that is a bad idea if you happen to have one of those. EMBER, is significantly smaller than her mother. She is about the size of a two month old kitten. Her scales are a dull orange though her snout is more of a dark yellow color. Embers eyes are green and expressive Ember is one of the most rowdy pips I've ever met, she is wild and a doofus. Em believe she was a bat in her past life so she is mosly upside down a lot of the time when she sleeps. She is very persuasive and has a way of keeping a word count up. She gets antsy when hungry and tends to hold a grudge. ZIEED, is a black and purple dragon, the same size as his sister. His wings are only about a foot from tip to tip, his tail is spiked at the end and makes this firey tike look a lot meaner than he is. Zieed loves eating words and he tends to be a bit chubby. He likes flying around, pretending to be war planes crashing. He is very vocal so if you hear his deep croaking, he needs attention. I am currently looking for a dragon for myself, perhaps one that likes love stories mixed action . I have a small house so none bigger than a toaster please? (:

One more of these pesky critters to unload upon the unsuspecting... I mean... uh... adopt.... Up for consideration is Aiden! Aiden is a small dragon, just about the right size to sleep in a teacup. She is orange and white, with butterfly wings that are patterned like a monarch's, but white where the black should be. She has green eyes that change shades depending on her mood; rich emerald when she is happy, peridot when she is sad, and a range between, including the rare very-well-fed blue-green. She enjoys roosting along the top edge of laptop screens and watching what you write upside down. When she is happy, she will sing notes like a well versed canary. When it is finally time to set aside your story in favor of voluntary unconsciousness (aka, sleep!), she will curl up and warm the crook of your neck. She needs someone gentle to care for her!

What luck! I have a little foxdragon named Jasmine who would love to come home with you. She is mostly silver with black paws and a black tail, with a little white tip. She has a ruff of silver fur down her back along her spine, and long soft ears for petting. She has feathered wings that are sharp like a falcon's, and she flies very fast when she thinks to. She is just a little bigger than an eight week old kitten, and she loves to romp and play with others. She is very strict about her food though; she'll wait to be fed but if it looks like you aren't going to write for her, she may bite!

I would love a pocket dragon as i am frequently moving when I write. Sometimes in the kitchen, sometimes in the bedroom, sometimes at B&N or the like. I have a laptop so I would like him or her to be small enough to sit on my laptop and guard it if I get up to take my blood sugar, or adjust my meds (I am a type 1 diabetic, so he or she must be understanding when it comes to my health and not let me eat too much carbs...lol) My favorite color is blue, btw. Thanks. I did find a dragon, but He likes chocolate too much to be helpful to me. His name is Dillon and he is Blood red with black spikes along his back. He is the size of a chihuahua right now, but he is not full grown and will grow to the size of a great dane once he has matured. Which could take days or even years depending on how well you feed him. He has long scaley wings that change from white to black depending on how well fed he is, the more he eats the lighter his wings get, so you know when he is getting hungry buy how dark his wings are. keep his wings white and he is the most cheerful little dragon, but get him hungry and he will raid your chocolate stores first and then he will throw things in the toilet clogging it up, then he moves onto your sinks, and if that doesn't work he will spit molten lava onto your valuables, then books, burning them as he goes and finally your nano novel. If you still don't feed him, he will leave you burning your house to the ground as he goes.

I may have, just possibly, found a dragon that fits your standards. He is super tiny by most standards, and very adventurous. If told, though, he will [probably] stay at one place. He thinks he is a dog, and tries to bark from time to time. He actually has a fetish for Fritos (he'll EAT the carbs you don't want/need XD), but anything will do. He is mostly blue, but his belly is greyish-cream. His wingspan is pretty big, but his wings fold up nice and tight. Oh, and his name is Joey.

I am in need of a dragon. Not horribly picky - preferably male and maybe the size of German Shepherd or a saint bernard? Also I'd like for him not to get along well with my husband and my cat. I found one hiding in my closet however she doesn't like the cold weather here very much. I think she would be happier somewhere else. Her name is Hover. She is a pastel pink dragon about the size of a rabbit. She doesn't like the cold. She gets along well with most other creatures. She likes to fly or 'hover' around your desk while you work. She has a preference to eating extremely important documents and your nicest clothes if you're word count falls and get gets hungry. However well full she can be quite the affectionate dragon.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Cinxia — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 01:46:05 -0500

Hooray! I know he'll be so happy staying with you! :-) Enjoy his stories.

Amused Ninja — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 04:21:18 -0500

I've got one I'll offer up. His name is Z - not short for anything; that's just his name. He was shrunk by an evil word-hating wizard years ago, but it can be undone by eating at least 50,000 words in the space of a month - the more words you feed him, the bigger he gets. He's gold with silver wings and feet, and bright blue eyes. At the moment he likes sleeping in drawers, but as he gets bigger he'll probably migrate to your bed - which could provide motivation to pull all-nighters to up your word count. If he notices that you're procrastinating when you should be writing, he'll usually hit you in the head with his tail - politely, of course. Any takers?

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

rachybaby — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 04:57:58 -0500

I'd love to have Z! My cat currently sleeps in my dresser drawers and I think it would be good for her to get used to the idea that this is not the idea napping area. It would also be good for her to share a living space with someone who she doesn't feel inclined to harass..... however she might not take a hint until I get him fattened up enough to be bigger than her. Z! Will you come to live with me? Mei Li and I would love to have you! (don't worry, Mei Li WILL get used to the idea)

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Amused Ninja — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 05:05:00 -0500

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

rosiedoodle — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 06:35:42 -0500

I need a dragon! I'd like him/her to be small, big enough to fit into my hand/ a teacup. They need to get irritable if I don't write enough and spit sparks at me when they are very hungry, and they need to understand that I have college so I can't write all the time, but they will get fed. I'd like them to be able to get along with the four other people and the dog that live with me, and they have to get on with my Hellhound Maul and my Angel. (: I leave Lexi in return. She's a Chinese dragon who enjoys wrapping herself around your neck/shoulders like a scarf, and she is ALWAYS warm- she'd suit a writer who lives somewhere cold and finds in hard to write when they are cold. When she is hungry, she will nip your skin and spit sparks at you. She is lovable and affectionate when you've written a few words that day, though. She is green and blue, and she has large green/grey eyes that are REALLY unnerving if she's staring at you because you haven't written. I'd keep her, but it's just too warm for her here, and I get too hot when she's around my neck. Her eyes go purple if you write 50k and she is fully fed. If you reach 50k she will be full for a month, and then she will either leave to find a new writer or stick around and make you write.

Sparkle Itamashii — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 07:34:51 -0500

Someone adopted Aiden already, but you're in luck, for I also have Aiden's sister, Autumn, and her brother, Mosen! They are triplets in shape, but vary greatly in color!! Autumn is the color of fall leaves, and the patterns shift over her skin constantly like leaves blowing in a gentle wind. She is a little bossy, and her normally orange eyes can change very quickly to a bright red if she thinks you are slacking. Like Aiden, she sings when she is happy, but she also scolds and chatters when she is angry. She enjoys laptops as well, though she prefers trying to walk on the keyboard to chase your fingers into writing more. Mosen is a little black and white dragon, and his favorite trick is to change the patterns on his skin to look like words. Sometimes they ARE words, sometimes they just LOOK like words, and when he's particularly helpful he will suggest words like a thesaurus when you are stuck... they may not always be the right word, or a word with the same definition, but he means well. He prefers desktops to laptops, and enjoys sleeping on pulled out CD trays or in sunbeams on your desk while you write. He doesn't sing very well, but he does sing. Which ever one you choose, they will love you dearly and do their best to make sure you stay on track! Which-ever one you don't choose will need a new home!

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Sparkle Itamashii — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 07:36:52 -0500

Unfortunately, Ashlin is my baby and I can't give her away. I have a little stuffy of her sitting on my desk staring at me while I attempt to talk to friends and switch songs. He is light blue, with shining threads mixed in to his scales. He has purple horns and four purple spikes on his head. He is just a tiny little dragonling, and his wings are too small for him to fly. I figured I'd describe him for anyone who wishes for a clone of my little baby. But I shall also leave Xion, a jet black dragon with glowing red eyes. She is fierce when hungry, but although she looks mean, she's very cuddly. She likes to sit in people's laps and watch as the wordcount rises, gently kneading her claws when you stop for a moment. She follows you wherever you go and is only the size of a half grown kitten. Have fun with her, she's very caring and very loving. If whoever adopts her doesn't mind, I'd love to keep in touch and know how she's treating you and how you're treating her :) Thanks!

Leaving: Joey, a small adorable brown dragon with red flecks. He eats ALL the time so don't adopt him unless you plan on writing constantly (Which I'm sure you all do). He's very playful and loving, and he enjoys nuzzling up against your neck. Just a warning, he will claim your pillow as his own. And by the end of the month it will be covered in burn marks~ Enjoy!

Ah, sounds just like my kitty cat, only with fire. So taking him. Leaving Cal. A black little trickster, he gets into mischief if you try and procrastinate. He loves long, full worded sentances (no contrations!) and other little sneaky word count tips as his favourite snacks. He likes his belly rubbed, and under his chin.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Kai-Wolf — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 13:13:53 -0500

Found another dragon hiding in my closet. She's about the size of a tissue box (a square one... didn't have anything else to reference to...), and very shy. That disappears when you don't meet your word-count-goal-of-the-day. She'll grow to the size of a golden retriever and blow smoke at you until your fingers are typing or writing with a pencil - whichever you like. Her scales are blue on top and gold on the bottom. Wingspan is rather small, and she can only fly short distances. Loves to eat. Currently nameless.

Behemoth, an old green male dragon. He loves to sleep on peoples heads while they write. He is blind, and he had huge wings compared to his body size. When you procrastinate, he will fly in circles around you and be very distracting so that you can not focus on the thing you are doing instead of writing, he will not stop untill you contiue writing and get caught up on your word count. When you try to sleep while you are behind, he will jump up and down on your stomach untill you continue writing. He will bring you tea/coffe.energy drinks just the way you like it in order to keep you awake long enough to met your goals, and he will reward you with cookies when you reach them.

I have the perfect name for her too: Coral. Okay it may not be a perfect name for her but I like it and so long as I keep her fed she should not care too much right? I find that I happened to have a dragon following me to work today, but since I now have Coral I do not believe that I would be able to feed them both. I'm recovering from carpal tunnel so I feel I am doing pretty good with what I have going right now. Anyway, he is about the size of a Smart Car when you are outside so that you will not be able to miss him when you venture outside away from your desk. He also happens to be a brilliant cherry red with dark maroon trimmings and the most brilliant blue eyes that you have ever seen. I just now discovered that he manages to shrink down to the size of a mouse (computer) when he is indoors so that he has the perfect vantage point to keep an eye on both you and your work. Watch that you do not fall off your count too often though for I have found out (rather painfully) that his blue flames are much hotter than they appear and as destructive as that sounds. I hope he finds a good home since I just do not have the room for him.

I'm in need of a dragon, quite desperately! I've only written about 1500 words... He or she needs to be able to live alongside a Plot Cat, and not be afraid to attack me if I stop writing. If he or she was somewhat cuddly when I have written my wordcount, that'd be lovely too. Preferably not too big, though. I have a small house.

Synchrotiger — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:06:20 -0500

I found these two buggers napping in my closet, and I figured I'd help them find a good home. Gil is a relatively small dragon, about the size of a housecat. He has green scales, purple eyes and large wings. he has an unfortuate habit of sneezing fireballs all over unfinished manuscripts. Thankfully, he is alwasy eager to help his owner replace them, unafraid of nibbling, scratching or scorching anyone who is behind thier wordcount. He tends to be quite rambunctious, but underneath he is really just a sweetheart. The only thing he loves more than chasing small animals is curling up beside his owner and listen to the sound of typing (or a pen on paper!) He loves coffee, but be carful not to spoil him too much, otherwise his crazy antics might keep you up all night! Azaela is much more demure and dignified. She is about the size of a fully grown golden retriever, and her scales range from sky blue to a deep purple. She is spoiled and tends to be aloof, but generally well mannered. Unless her master is behind word count. In that case, she will do whatever it takes to keep them on track- including crying aloud for hours at a time. She is fiercely loyal to her master, and will guard a novel almost as well as a hellhound. In addition, she is happiest when her owner had meet word count, in which case she will curl around their feet and purr.

Amused Ninja — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:10:58 -0500

wild4eva — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:30:57 -0500

Leaving: Richard. He's a bit annoying at times, a dark scaled pomeranian sized dragon. He's aggressive when it comes to food, and doesn't allow kitsunes in his territory. But he's downright cuddly once he's satisfied, and turns a slight orange-tinged black when he's happy. He also changes his tint according to mood, if you couldn't tell. He's got bright green eyes, as in leaf green, and will eat anything stringy, like wires, shoelaces, noodles, or even eraser shavings and breadrolls, if nothing else close enough to it is there. He doesn't chew much on his food, but gulps it down like a snake, so if you want to get something he's got in his mouth back, you have to get it quick. He's a typical european style dragon.

Not at all! I hope you like him! By the way, just so you know, when I mean annoying, I mean he'll sit on his head or bat your writing tools. :) Keep an eye on any string like things, because he'll yank, chew on, or swallow anything he can get to.

Perhaps you would like to have Basil. He is roughly cat-sized, long, and spiny. He is dark green, but his eyes are silver and black--one of each. He can often be found plotting with your other pets in a corner--when they gang up on you threateningly when you try to go to bed, you'll realize why. He sprays acid, which may somehow find its way onto your most prized possessions f you don't feed him well enough. Not only will he make you writewritewrite, but he will allow an entire five minutes for non-writing activities every eighteen hours. ;)

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aikofox — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:56:56 -0500

I have four pocket dragons here, looking for good homes. They all showed up over the last few days, while I was procrastinating by playing around with a lovely dragon maker i stumbled across on DA. So I made them in it. They're all very stripey dragons, and not for first time dragon owners. http://www.iaza.com/work/111106C/iaza15308636832100.png this is Rollen, he does not have time for your bullshit. He's pretty quiet, unless you get behind on your count, then he ROARS and doesn't shut up until you get to work on your novel. Rollen is a mature, older male who does well with others. He's tolerant of school and work, and allows for extra activities as long as they don't interfere. Like the others, he's pocket sized, but that little body packs a punch! http://www.iaza.com/work/111106C/iaza15308678132900.png Sain likes gaming and playing around. He hates school and work, and thinks that time is better spent writing. He can get pretty huffy, and if you don't write, he'll drink all your coffee or other beverage of choice. A fairly young and inexperienced dragon, Sain is nevertheless a stickler for his words and prefers them with lots of action! http://www.iaza.com/work/111106C/iaza15308633948400.png Nigth is a ninja dragon. He likes to stalk you, and just when you think you've escaped him and settle down to play games or read a book, he'll pounce out of nowhere and exit your game. He'll pester you until you reach wordcount or higher, and won't go away until he's satisfied. Other than when you're being a good little human and writing, he likes to curl around your neck and read as you write, occasionally offering out ideas. He loves long hair. http://www.iaza.com/work/111102C/iaza15308664245700.png Tyge is a grouch. Slack off and he'll flame your little toosh faster than you can say NaNoWriMo. He doesn't get along with other Writing Buddies. Try to adopt one and he'll show you exactly how he feels bout it. Usually with fire. Normally very cross and bossy, Tyge can become extremely affectionate when you're above par on your wordcount! USE EXTREME CAUTION. There you have it, four boys looking for homes. Of the bunch, I think i'm most fond of Tyge, don't ask me why. He burnt my toes when I first found him. Evil little dragon...

I have a dragon if anyone is interested~! His name is Kahn, and he's a black-scaled shiny little thing, about the size of a housecat, perfect for curling up in your lap. He can warm you up with his small smokey breaths (they don't interfere with your air), but if you start procrastinating.. he'll swoop up to the ceiling where you can't reach him and blow smoke around you. The smoke only goes away when you get out of whatever it is you're procrastinating with and begin typing again. He can also blow smoke-words, so when you're stuck for a word he can help you out, if you ask nicely. He lives on Oreos and Caramel Crowns... basically any delicious chocolatey-type biscuit. He doesn't need to drink anything. When he wants to be fed, he'll look up at you with his big blue eyes... the cuteness will be overpowering, just warning you now. He also likes chocolate milk, but don't give him too much. He can be a bit temperamental, but he's generally a sweet little thing. I'm kind of sad to see him go. Any takers?

I would like to put Tobias up for adoption. He is a shy cuddling dragon, who always gives a good lick to a stressed out Wrimo. He has rich chocolate brown scales and big brown soppy eyes. Hes very calm most of the time, but as soon as you bring out food he's as excited as a puppy at a dog park. He likes stealing pencils, and chewing notebooks but he will always give you those soppy eyes and you'll forgive him in an instant. He will also bring you books when research is required or flick through a dictionary or thesaurus when you need a new word. Although he acts silly he always has the wise words needed in a Wrimos darkest moment. I dont want to give him up but he doesnt seem to like Kahn ... I'm sure he will go to a good home

She was my dragon, but unfortunately, we just didn't it it off. She's extremely sweet natured; she'll bring you anything you need to keep you writing, and loves to cuddle up on your chest when you're writing, but she's only sweet natured if you're up-to-date with your word count, if not, then she'll gladly give you a good, hard nip on your shoulder to keep you back on track! She loves to share cups of tea and is addicted to Mars bars! She enjoys reading romance novels, so someone writing a novel with this genre would suit her well and she's always happy to help. Maroon- As his name suggests, he is a maroon coloured dragon with silver scales on his stomach. He's about the size of a house-cat, but don't be put of by his size, he can be vicious if he doesn't get fed! He will grow a bit more the more he gets fed, and should make about the size of a springer spaniel. He always takes intro consideration any school work that you have, but as soon as you've finished, he makes sure you're back on track with writing! He loves to cuddle up next to you as you write, and will keep you warm with his smokey-breath. He's an old dragon that I found hiding in my wardrobe. He's looking for a lovely home that will help him grow as he feels out-of-place being so small at his age!

Hey! I'd love to adopt Tobias. My dragon, Lit, is curious to have a companion WordCount dragon, as my other writing helpers are kind of beneath her. We'd take very good care of Tobias, as long as he didn't eat too many notebooks. I have some stubby pencils I don't use anymore that he can steal, and a few small notebooks with goofy covers that I never used (I took out the pages I need). I would love his help with words especially and will happily share snacks with him (does he like Three Musketeers?). Lit's very excited to meet him, as am I.

I leave the little dragon Poppy. She is very cute, one of the rare fluffy dragons. Her fur is violet and she has black eyes, she has the size of a cat. She loves to lie around your neck (which is very good if you have a cold) but when you are not up to your word-count she gets really angry and may burn you. She does not need much food but she loves chocolate - so be careful if you're drinking a hot chocolate while typing ;) Her sleeping habits depend on her owner - she goes to sleep when you do and is more than glad when she can cuddle up to you. She doesn't like violence or character deaths and she is scared easily. So fluffy Romance novels would be perfect for her but she also loves Fanstasy - as long as it's not dark and scaring ;)

I already have a mischiveious dragon (Ryu) but he turned out to be a she. So I got have to give away her baby. Name: Ru Has two sided personality. At one moment he's sweet and loves nothing more than sunbathing & head petting. But in an instant, he can become a trouble maker. In that stage he eats notebooks, destroys slippers & couches and bounces off the wall with massive energy (dont feed him chocolate, coffee or soda). Only a super strong scent of peppermint can calm him down. But when you need someone to help your wordcount, Ru is very loyal and dependable.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Barnacle Drive — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 13:19:05 -0600

leaving a baby fei dragon called Moonshauo. She's the size of a kitten and rather shy. If you don't keep up with your word count she isn't going to get angry or mess your things up, but she will start to fade away until you can't even see that she's there. When she is there, however, she has pale blue amphibious skin, with a curled tail and pink through to green translucent wings, in the style of a butterflies. She has a small, pointy face and beak, with large round eyes. With white curling spines poking out from behind her ears. When she's happy, she tends to roll around on her back like a cat does, and flap her wings. As a reward: give her sugar-cubes.

I would like a dragon if anyone has one in need of a home? I need one to make me catch up NOW while it still may be possible and who will keep me company when I get too discouraged. This dragon should like adventure or he/she won't be happy in my story. A small dragon would be nice, because that way it can sleep in my locker at work while I'm busy. =) I found a very nice little dragon, but he keeps trying to eat the bunny I adopted from the adopt a pet forum. His name is Rory, his scales are red and he has big, sad eyes that will look right into your soul and make you get caught up on your word count. He can be very fierce when he wants to and will chase away any distractions and will keep you entertained while you work on your story. He likes to play tricks on people from time to time and may through a few twists into your story for you while your back is turned. =) He is a very tough little dragon and isn't easily scared by ghosts, zombies, ect.

Broderick-Sylvester is an enormous dragon the color of pewter. By enormous, I mean he's about the size of your average SUV. He's extremely spoiled and requires that his room (he needs a room of his own, can you believe it?) be furnished in shades of blue, gray, and brown with a few artificial stalactites and stalagmites. He also says that he needs adequate space to keep a scrying pool so that he can keep an eye on your wordcount from afar. After all, you wouldn't want him storming up to your tiny little office to glower at your keyboard in person, would you? He consumes only coffee beans, premium cuts of raw steak, and tomato juice. When you haven't met your day's word count, he crashes through doors, sits on your nice new sofa, and tries to change the channel on your television. Because he is so large, he ends up breaking all of these things. If you fail to meet your word count for two or more days, he steals your coffee and any nice jewelry you happen to have kicking around. Then he returns to his room and tastefully arranges his newly acquired trophies in a nice pile to sleep on. Five days or more and he destroys your computer and replaces it with a typewriter, stomps on your car, jams all the doors, and locks your windows. Broderick-Sylvester is only for writers who either A) Always meet their wordcount or B) Those who NEVER meet their wordcount and need some extreme punishment. If you adopt him, then be warned: he is very high maintenance and you may wind up being his butler.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Verdigris — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 19:23:29 -0600

I will take him if you don't mind. I started a few days late and only just caught up to par, so I need someone to make sure I don't fall behind again.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Verdigris — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 19:33:39 -0600

Leaving: A maroon dragon by the name of Hoil. He's a quiet dragon a bit smaller than the size of a pocket watch (I know this because he lives in mine). He is likes old things and tends to hang about any antiques or 'false' antiques (plastic top hats, stainless steel pocket watches and the like). He's a well mannered dragon of the best classical breeding, and has a small patch around his right eye that makes him look like he's wearing a monocle. If you fall behind on your word count, he'll start to make things go wrong. Your 'newfangled' commodities will go haywire, like your television, your computer, and your automatic coffee maker. If you continue not to write you will find that all your comfortable clothing has been starched and pressed, your shower only has hot water for two minutes, and your friends phones never register your calls. Keep him happy though snd meet your word cound and he'll be charming and well mannered for as long as you keep him. He will toast marshmellows for your hot chocolate, make you feel like a dapper gentleman (or a very fine lady) and even tell you about his life before you. Hoil especially good for steampunk, historical, or mysteries in the style of sherlock holmes because he can often be used as a reference as well.

Ah! I think I have one for you (I seem to have a surplus because I was behind for a few days). Her name is difficult and hard to pronounce, so I call her Pip to bother her. She's quite a sweet heart and about the size of a large pony or a small horse. She'll get bigger if you feed her, how big I don't rightly know. She's quite artistic and spends the time she's not bothering me making spun glass sculptures out in my sandbox. she's also a lovely shade of crimson with big black eyes, but is liable to whine and snap at your fingers if you are behind on your word count.

I need a dragon who's patient with me, because I am quite the procrastinator, and am seriously behind on my wordcount anyways. Help?

Caramella Barlow — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:43:51 -0600

HIs name is Kyzyl (key-zil). He's a small Chinese dragon with blue-gray scales. He's patient if you keep at it, but if you neglect your word count for many days, he'll start to eat your wooden stuff. Like your chairs and tables and pencils. Oh, and don't give him coffee or tea. Coffee will make him angry, while tea will make him--- just don't give nim tea. He's very smart and loving, if you choose to adopt him.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

samusdorothydarby — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:47:54 -0600

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

lucyinthesy — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 21:19:02 -0600

I will leave a couple more dragons. Aiden- a green eyed, purple dragon. He is about the size of a pomeranian and loves to sit in peoples laps when they are writing. He pretends to be tough, but there is one thing he is deathly afriad of... vampires- this is why I can not keep him. He is very sweet and gets along well with any cats or dogs you have running around, although you might want to keep him away from any fish tanks you have. Oberon- A blue eyed, silver dragon. He is quite old, and quite grumpy. Keep him away from any furry animals you have- he may eat them, particularly if you are behind on your word count. He is rather big, about the size of a german shepard. Oberon will sit in your doorway to make sure you are not disturbed while you write. When you are not writing, and behind on your word count, he will sit in your doorway to make sure you do not leave untill you are caught up. Loki- A blue-eyed black dragon- He is very mischevious, and will be very annoying if you are behind on your word count. He really is very sweet though. Really. I promise. As long as you are caught up on your word count, he is. He loves coffee, but you may want to keep it away from him, it makes him crazy. Loki is about the same size as Aiden.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

abby-LOVE — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:35:51 -0600

Oh my goodness, I must have Oberon. Grouchy old man dragon for the win. Plus, he'll force me to keep up with my word count so that he won't eat my lovely plot cat o-o;. I'll leave a dragon, too... Nyame - A rather large Chinese dragon, with a long serpent-like body and a beautiful, deep blue mane that runs the length of her spine. Her body is iridescent blue and green in a swirling pattern that changes as she moves. She has small, golden eyes and deep blue horns like those of a deer. Each of her feet has five claws, and she can fly despite the fact that she has no wings. She's large enough to ride... if you're caught up on your word count, that is. About the height of a small pony and the length of a small car, she does need a good amount of space in order to be in the house with you, but she can become more compact by contracting her body or curling up. Personality-wise, she's very intelligent and curious, and loves to talk. She's a bit ADD, and is often distracted by anything shiny. If you don't keep her attention by keeping your word count up, she will find anything and everything shiny in your house and guard it. This includes electronics like your television, and even your laptop if you get REALLY far behind...

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Element-weaver — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:15:32 -0600

I'd love to adopt Nyame! She's amazing! I'd also like to adopt Aiden and Loki if I may, although these two might actually end up as small little characters in my Nano. If they're strictly wordcount dragons then I shall leave them here for someone else to adopt but if you don't mind the flip into my story then I'd be glad to have them ^^ I have a dragon running around here somewhere that I was going to leave here but he seems to have disappeared on me again. As soon as I find him I'll come back and leave him here :)

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

cheshirecatgrin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:31:02 -0600

Darn, too slow. >< I wanted Nyame and Loki. Leaving: Nasir. A light blue dragon with enormous ears, a soft dog's nose, and a clever tail. He's about as big as a lap dog, but doesn't get along well with other pets, which he sees as both irritating and distracting. He's a grammar Nazi, and is quick to snap up any sentence he can prey upon with incorrect grammar. If you fall behind on your word count, lock up your books! He takes to these first and will wreck havoc on any bookshelf, textbook, or innocent stack of distracting novels with a complete and utter lack of guilt or a single second thought. Though he may seem cruel, he can be quite nice if allowed to sit on his writer's lap, and loves to cuddle and be pet behind his disportionate ears. He's steadfast, and strict, and will sit on your shoulder or your head like a cat, staring at your typed work to be sure you meet your quota. When not helping you write or terrorizing your desk area and wordcount, he likes shredded words (or even paperwork), blocking your doorway, and sleeping on your pillow at night. Squeaky balls are optional.

I have a really creepy dragon following me around. She's a western style dragon who's all white and instead of spikes down her back she has a full mane. At the top of her head is a gold horn and below that is one big blue eye. I am too afraid of her to find out her name so if someone would quickly take her off my hands I would greatly appreciate it. .___.

I'll take her. I like her. :) I think I'll name this dragon... Alida. get to work right away, Alida, I have a lot of work to do. Leaving: A small, twelve-inch, golden dragon. His name is officially the Little Dragon. He lives in a satchel and has a very bad attitude and a high-pitched, fast voice. HE WILL BITE YOU. He has no wings but is very long and thin, with dexterous hands, so careful of your stuff.

I'd like to leave Silhouette. He's a black dragon. He spends most of his time in the distance and he's quite large. I've only seen him up close once and he was stealing the left over Halloween candy. The ones he didn't eat he melted. He is always present and silently threatening you to keep up your word count. For every day that you're behind he takes a step closer. He singed my hair once. I don't want to know what happened to his last writer. What he sustains himself on is a mystery. A lot of my shoes have gone missing since he started to appear in the corner of my eye. He is deathly afraid of cats. Doesn't matter if they're small or big, he's terrified of them. If my cat takes one step towards him he flees. Which is why I must leave him here, a house with cats just isn't suitable.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

ardentangel — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 03:15:36 -0600

Oh I love Cal, can I adopt him!?!?! I looked through the list a few pages but did not see that anyone claimed him. He can help me stay away from those nasty contradictions I hate but can't seem to stop myself from writing. (See, did it again.) I'll post one on the last page...

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

ardentangel — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 03:31:52 -0600

First, I saw on the first page little Cal and would like to adopt him as he seems to have been overlooked. Just want to make sure no one else got him. Can't take Silhouette, I have cats, but I can leave: Shimmerie She's about the size of a medium dog, white with an opalescent shimmer to her scales. Really loves fantasy fiction especially the kind with lots of magic. Will start turning random items into disgusting stuff if the word count is low. Starts with non-essentials like socks but will move up to your favorite pen or flash drive if the word count gets seriously low. Also, can someone tell me more about this forum. Do these dragons need to check up on their new writing partners and keep them on target?

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Ceana — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 06:12:37 -0600

Perfect..... Shimmerie is exactly the dragon I've been looking for. Ideal for the story I'm working on. I think Shimmerie will love the story and be all the more inclined to help me and keep me going.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Ceana — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 06:40:55 -0600

Oops, I forgot to tell you about the dragon that's been hanging around on my microwave. Her body is long and serpent-like. She reminds me of a Chinese dragon. The scales down her back are an iridescent green, almost black. The scales on her belly are white. I suppose her coloring is a camouflage from those days when her kind soared through the skies. Depending on her mood, her round eyes take on slightly different hues. They are always dark, almost black, but they will have the slightest hint of green or blue in them if she is content. They’ll shine brightly if she’s healthy, but dull if she’s not, and her eyes become tinted with red. When she’s had enough of your nonsense, her eyes turn black – darker than any dark night you’ve ever experienced and just as deep. Those eyes will stare into yours, straight into you, and know the truth behind why you haven’t written more than you have. She’s small enough to sit at your computer, wrapping her long body around the back of your computer monitor with her tail flicking out from one side and her little head peaking around the other. Since I’m not her rightful owner, she won’t tell me her name. If she really belongs to you, please claim her. She misses you.

ardentangel — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 09:31:28 -0600

I'm glad you like her! Just remember what she'll do if you get behind! Might be a bit big to sit on your desk, but you can pull up an extra chair (or your lap) and she'll be happy to watch you write.

I think that Blot may be the dragon for you. She has glossy, inky black scales set so closely together that you can scarcely tell they have seams. Her eyes are ridiculously huge with clear, bright indigo irises and paper-white sclera. She has stubby golden horns and a narrow webbed ridge that runs down her back. Her tail is long and slender with a fluke on the end like a dolphin. She is something of an aquatic dragon and has small feathery gills in addition to lungs so that she can breath in water. Her wings are small and more often used for swimming than flying, though she can fly short distances. She's about the size of a Yorkie. Whenever she gets out of the water, she leaves little inky footprints wherever she walks. If you are down on your wordcount, she walks all over your manuscripts. She also is capable of breathing a magical vapor that can freeze your computer's internet capabilities. She gets along with all animals and plays with cat toys and is always perfectly content to curl up on your lap and watch you type. Her favorite thing to eat is yellowed parchment. If you don't want her, let me know and I'll find somebody else to adopt her. I'm afraid I can't keep her myself. Ilodi doesn't like her very much.

Blot sounds perfect!!! Can I have her? I leave Kaboodle, a playful dragon covered in small, golden-orange scales. She's a about the size of a kitten, but don't let size fool you; if she sees your fingers off the keyboard, she will pounce on them. Her favourite snack is fingers, and though her wings are too small to use, and she just sleeps most of the day away on a small pillow next to the computer, she always smells the aroma of some fresh, un-typing phalanges. Other than that, she eats distractions and, every once in a while, the whiny, needy husband and/or wife.

I'm looking for a dragon... - small or medium sized (it'd be wonderful if this dragon could fit in my hand) - likes fantasy - brightly coloured Have you seen any like that around?

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Swiftflame — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:24:33 -0600

You may want the Little Dragon. He's small, does fit in your hand, is bright gold (has a bad temper), and is quite the fantasy adventurer. You can find more description of him on the page before this one. :)

You can have her if BrittanyLacey doesn't want her, since she's the one who wanted a small, cute dragon who was more of a companion animal that a strict wordcounter.

I'm in need of a dragon to keep me company while I'm taking care of my daily word count. Size doesn't matter, but I want him to be a companion as well as a motivator. He also needs to be able to hang in there during the unexpected creepy parts, as they seem to appear at random, even though I'm not writing horror. I will leave Rally. He's a small black dragon with silver wings, stomach, and eyes. He's shiny and fast and needs constant excitement. If you don't live in an urban setting he may get restless and destructive, even if you're up to par on your word count. He thrives on stories with a lot of action and will get mischievous if there are too many lulls in your story. He's not picky on genre and could do well with anything from a drama filled romance to adventure or fantasy. Either way, make sure you have the energy to keep him entertained. He won't completely annihilate your books, but he will throw things all over your house, including trash, dirty laundry, and your last roll of toilet paper. If you keep him content, he's quite friendly and affectionate. He's also a prankster and will help you keep a sense of humor while you toil away at your masterpiece.

You may be looking for Nasir, DZW_21. :D A light blue dragon with enormous ears, a soft dog's nose, and a clever tail. He's about as big as a lap dog, but doesn't get along well with other pets, which he sees as both irritating and distracting. He's a grammar Nazi, and is quick to snap up any sentence he can prey upon with incorrect grammar. If you fall behind on your word count, lock up your books! He takes to these first and will wreck havoc on any bookshelf, textbook, or innocent stack of distracting novels with a complete and utter lack of guilt or a single second thought. Though he may seem cruel, he can be quite nice if allowed to sit on his writer's lap, and loves to cuddle and be pet behind his disportionate ears. He's steadfast, and strict, and will sit on your shoulder or your head like a cat, staring at your typed work to be sure you meet your quota. When not helping you write or terrorizing your desk area and wordcount, he likes shredded words (or even paperwork), blocking your doorway, and sleeping on your pillow at night. Squeaky balls are optional.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

crownoflaurel — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:25:30 -0600

He's not what I'm looking for, I'm afraid. He would probably try to eat my other....friends. And I don't like being bitten. Thanks for trying to help though.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Ferna — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:28:59 -0600

Oh dear. I'm so terribly behind in word count that I'm afraid one of these would absolutely tear my novel apart, the few words I have actually written. These actually sound quite frightening. For someone a bit braver than myself, though, I'll leave Emmy. She's around the size of a rather fat cat, and her scales are done in pastel colors, though they can change from one pattern to the next and a moment's notice. She is generally happy and content, but should your wordcount fall behind, she will turn a most hideous mixture of colors and proceed to wreck havoc on your life. Emmy is quite intelligent and loves stories that have hidden or unexpected twists, particularly since such excitement can be a huge stimulator to word count. She really does adore having a soft bed on which to sleep, however.

Robin is up for grabs. Robin is bright red, about the size of a baseball. He's very friendly and playful. He's full grown so feeding won't fatten him up. He loves anything fantasy, but is particularly parial to Urban Fantasy. He won't nip at you if you go below wordcount, but if you get too far behind he might run away.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

TotalNerd — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:55:42 -0600

Sorry, but Blot was taken. However, she does have a brother who was in her same egg- a very rare occurrence in the dragon world. He is almost identical to Blot in terms of shape, size and personality. His name is Pyrus, and he is pure white in color with bronze horns. His horns are slightly longer and sharper than Blot's, and his head is a bit narrower and pointier as well. The sclera of his eyes are as black as Blot's are white, and his irises are a deep mauve. Whenever Pyrus emerges from the water, he leaves a trail of smooth white footprints that have the same effect as LiquidPaper when he walks on writing, which he does rather a lot when your wordcount is low. In addition, instead of magical internet-freezing ice breath, Pyrus is capable of breathing a warm vapor that will send your computer into meltdown mode. Pyrus loves to eat the ink cartridges out of calligraphy pens, but he doesn't object to Doritos either.

crownoflaurel- I think I may have just the dragon for you. She's taken over my pencil can and absolutely will not leave until I find her a new owner. Her name is Dot, short for Peridot, and she is about the most violently vibrant acid green you can imagine. Her tail is prehensile and tipped with a fork, and her ears resemble a bat's both in terms of shape and in the fact that they are disproportionate to her head. She is definitely small enough to fit in your hand, as she is small enough to fit in a decoupaged Campbell's soup can. She is a rowdy girl and gets along well with other animals, with the exception of parrots. She cannot abide the screeching of parrots. I am fairly certain that she likes fantasy, as she has quite literally been devouring my Lloyd Alexander Prydain Chronicles. When you are a day behind on your word count, she begins to emit a foul-smelling smoke from her ears. Two days behind and she starts stealing your books and eating them. Three days, she starts sending texts to your friends that contain particularly vulgar obscenities. Four or more days and she starts prying keys off of your keyboard, starting with the letter 'e' Watch out! If you don't write for a full thirty days, then you'll be left with nothing but numbers and punctuation. If you don't want her, then she's up for adoption for everybody else. Just let me know.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

crownoflaurel — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 21:42:24 -0600

Dot sounds perfect. Thank you so very much for her; I'd love to bring her home. (I don't like parrots either, so it's all good.)

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Abenstern — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:32:53 -0600

Robin sounds like just the little dragon I need. I'm far above word count so he won't have to worry about me falling behind. I need a friendly cheery dragon to help me keep from getting too horribly dark in the story. So he's perfect.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

CoriSeaSinger — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:48:32 -0600

I'm leaving a pair of dragons; Nik and Noa. They're both playful and tend to get hyperactive around low wordcounts. Nik is gold with white gilding along his wings. Noa is solid black with vibrant green eyes. Both of them need a good cuddle now and then. They'd be a perfect pair for someone who needs to be reminded to stop and take a break once in a while. (Noa will encourage you to take a break...with her claws.) Based on the books they sit on, they enjoy a wide variety of literature but seem to be especially fond of graphic novels.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

pemmsaskia — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 04:06:32 -0600

OH. And. I'll leave a dragon, too. Her name's Emma. She's a beautiful dusky indigo-purple colour, with eyes like emeralds. She's quite relaxed about what and when you write, but woe betide you if you don't keep up with your daily word count. The next day, you'll wake up to find your room ransacked- the only way to calm her down is to bribe her with milk and freshly-baked M&M cookies. Otherwise, she's a very friendly little dragon, about the size of a full-grown cat. She enjoys sleeping in dark corners, reading graphic novels, and drawing - you'd think her talons would make it difficult, but she's very good. Give her a massage and a cuddle every now and then, keep up your word count, and supply her with art materials, and you can live in harmony.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Lutecia — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 05:51:33 -0600

I also need a dragon and I'm thinking about a boy. It'll be better if he is small size, because there is not much space for him. And I wish him to be positive and maybe even love jokes - when I'm ok with the wordcount of course. Also he should live surprises and twists of the story and not be worried about the strange or absence plot^^ I have no pets and yes, he can sleep wherever he wants. He can drink my tea too, but better not eat my papers or pens, because I don't actually print the novel, but write it by hand. So he shouldn't worry about my old-fashioned manner of writing too. I believe someone have the dragon I need and we'll met soon!

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

alicerabbits — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 06:55:33 -0600

Spooky is up for grabs. He is black with a white belly, about the size of a baseball. He's very friendly and playful. He's full grown so feeding won't fatten him up. He loves reading and practical jokes, has a strange fascination with motions (read "Spaz dragon") especially if he's had caffeine. So he might play with your pencil while you write, but he won't eat it (he tried once with mine, and decided he definitely didn't like the taste). If you start to go below word count he'll nip at you. The further behind you get, the worse temper he gets. If you get too far behind word count he starts eating everything in sight.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

miss_ceilidh_marie — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:06:32 -0600

Hmmph. *needs a motivating grammar-nazi dragon who can cope with her scheduled inability to write daily* I have a little family for you guys though! Johann: Light blue with white speckles and bronze eyes, he's the eldest brother of the four. He's a stickler for grammar and spelling, and not all that fond of dirty word count tricks. If you don't feed him, he will just complain. A lot. Seriously. He won't shut up until you're back on track. Mikael: The second eldest boy, he has light brown scales and understanding yellow eyes. He's very flexible and doesn't mind if you get a little behind, but will nibble on your toes frequently if you don't get back on track soon. He care about the quality of what you're writing more than most, but he loves dream sequences. Nicole: She was born immediately after Mikael was, and she's the only girl. She's a fiery red with golden eyes, and she'll burn everything you own if you don't feed her. She's got an incredibly short temper, but she won't make you write more than your required word count for that day; she's lazy. Chaz: Chaz is the little one, in terms of age and size. He's only the size of a small house cat. He's kind of evil in a way that he'll encourage you to kill all of your characters. This makes him the perfect dragon for those of you writing horror or zombie books. He is green with slate eyes. If you don't feed him... He'll just kill you.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Ferna — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:31:20 -0600

Despite my better judgement, I think I'll adopt Johann. Since I'm so far behind, the constant thread of getting complained at will perhaps encourage me to write very very quickly and get well on the way to catching up. Perhaps Johann will help me succeed. *takes Johann and runs* "I promise I'm going to go write right now!!"

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

spalven — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:32:25 -0600

Since I've had her for way too long, I'll leave Lorelei here. She's about the size of a tennis ball, chameleon-coloured (and therefore hard to see) and loves to nibble on socks. At nights she likes to sleep on coat hooks, dangling by her tail. She will chew on your fingers if you ever think of deleting a word, but accepts grammar corrections as long as they are necessary (you will feel it as a sharp pain in your left foot when they are not necessary).

LadyCourage — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 12:03:36 -0600

I think I have just the dragon for you, Miss. Her name is Jilliania and don't try to tell her it's an odd, long, tongue-twisting and repetitive name. But she will be happy still if you call her Jill, or Nia. Her colors are thus: She weighs 18 pounds without three cups of decaf coffee in her tummy (she loves coffee, but doesn't like too much caffeine). She's a very intelligent little dragon, with an IQ about the equivalent of 146, for a human. She took English as her major in Dragon Collage and loved every minute. She'll grumble over poorly worded sentences, but if it gets you to your goal, she'll stifle her dislike and cheer you on to the finish. She loves perfection, but she loves big word counts more. If you start to fall behind, she'll start in on the grumbling.

500 words behind, she'll politely tell you through clenched teeth to get your lazy fingers moving.
800 words behind, she'll start raising her voice.
1k words behind, she'll start to bite at your fingers and toes while telling you to write write write!
1.5k words behind and she really gets nasty! Your cookies are strewn about the room as tiny crumbs, your pencils become bonfires and your mouse cord becomes tangled in unimaginably complicated ways.
2k words behind... Well, my friend who used to have Nia got 2k words behind and we never quite figured out where all the drinks, snacks and fluffy socks went. It also took my friend three hours to set her room straight again. And the fire department was not happy about the false alarm sounded by a neighbor when she saw smoke coming from the house.

So, yeah. Don't get behind with Nia crouched on your desk/bed/chair/computer. One tip I have learned though from watching my friend deal with Nia: The Dragon loves coffee and chocolate. You may be able to bribe away her bad behavior if you feed her enough while you catch up. But I doubt you'll be able to bribe her forever. She has a heart, but she is a Wordcount Dragon. Someone please give her a good home! I'd take her myself, but she and my dog Pippin don't get along very well... She told me he was a useless distraction and I should dispose of him, if only temporarily. I guess it's a good thing I'm only her Foster Home...

I think Lorelei is just the dragon I need to stop me from deleting my novel before it's done. I have discovered Sir James Sharp wandering about, however, and haven't the space for him with my new puppy in the house. Sir Sharp is about the size of a housecat, with purple and silver scales. His eyes are violet, and can see through any shrouded attempts at procrastination under the guise of research. Although not prone to violence, he is extremely territorial and will shriek demandingly when words are not properly provided. When content, he is an excellent source of witticisms and inspiration. I'm sure he will find a good home!

Litzy is a small cute little dragon whose scales are a perfect pinkish black pattern. She will go nuts if you fall behind on your word count. Her previous owner went 5K behind, and ...... Well, he didn't finish his NaNo that year, if ya get the picture. Litzy loves watching football and watching you write. If you stop, she makes a really loud noise unless you reach your word count. The result is angry neighbors if she does that at night.

He must like cookies, an needs to be able to stab me in the head until I reach my daily word count, as long as he doesn't stop me from doing so. I'm leaving Jeff, a small red dragon who just learned how to breathe fire and loves to abuse it. He's hyperactive and can only be stopped with a lot of home baking or by you exceeding your desired word count for the day. His eyes are black, and he has purple spikes down his back. His wings' webbing is the same purple.

I have a couple more to leave. Liam- is a green eyed silver dragon. He is rather small, he could be mistaken for a pencil topper if he was sleeping, witch is about the only time that he stays still. Keep him away from any caffine you drink while writing, it makes him go a bit crazy. If you are behind on your word count, he will sit on your hand expectantly as you do other things on the computer. If you are REALY behind on your word count. Well.. You might want to keep him away from your books. Spade- is a blue eyed green dragon. he is the size of a golden retriver. He is a very sweet dragon, as long as you keep up with your word count. If you fall behind on your word count...well ... do not fall behind on your word count. You do not even want to know what he will do. But he is really sweet, I promise. Oh, and he is good with cats and dogs, and most other dragons if you have them... but you may want to keep him away from gerbils or hamsters or suchlike animals. He will eat them Delilah- She is a green eyed pink dragon. She is very easily frightened, so if you are writing about anything violent, you may want to consider Liam or Spade. Delilah is for those writing some kind of romance novel, or just something a bit more fluffy. She is just the right size to sit in your lap while you write, and while you do not write. If you are behing on your word count she will sit in your lap or next to your computer or notebook looking up at you expectantly. If you get really behind on your count, well... she wont really do anything to bad. She will just stare at you and make you feel bad.

I think I'd like to adopt Spade. H's nice, and sounds like he'd be able to handle living with Alida. :) Leaving: Miche. She's a blue, furry dragon with a long muzzle and generally slender build. Her wings are translucent and are folded almost invisibly against her sides. She's about four feet long, with almost half of that used up in tail length. She's light and can fit in your lap, though. She will give you three chances if you fall behind on your wordcount. Once, she'll leave you alone. Twice, she'll close your laptop or turn off your monitor if you're procrastinating. Thrice, and she'll start writing in inane sentences of her own or deleting stuff, to the agony of your Angel (if you have one). Don't try to let her write for you, though. That won't end well. If you can stand to ignore her on the third chance... I haven't dared find out. She's generally very sweet all of the time, but if you fall behind she'll show her cunning, trickster side.

Enough with these tiny, nibbling baby dragons! Those of us who really like to procrastinate need bigger, meaner dragons! Allow me to present my clutch of three brothers, all awaiting a home: Anthelios, Yakecen, and Samladh. Anthelios (an-THEE-lee-os) is the oldest of the trio, and is about the size of a school bus at the moment. His scales are a bright burnished gold, and his eye sockets are literally full of fire - it is unknown whether or not he can actually see through some mystical means or just uses scent to get around, but either way, this doesn't seem to impair him in the slightest. His head is crowned with wicked black spikes that measure two feet in length, curving back towards his spine, which is itself lined in dark golden grey spikes. His tail is the same length as the rest of his body, and is tipped in a wreath of flame. Lanky, thin wings made from some iridescent material snap and fold at his sides, as he furls and unfurls them anxiously. Smoke pours from his nostrils at a constant, and it is clear that he will be incredibly unhappy if you don't fulfill your word count for the day. He is impatient as well, and will snap at you, your house, your pets, your friends, and any other distractions, even resorting to breathing fire on things until you sit down and feed him. He likes his words raw, with no forethought, so he's excellent for you seat-of-your-pants novelists. He can't really fit into most buildings all too well, so through the magic of dragons, he has the option of morphing himself into a small red star the size of a tennis ball, with solar flares and all. In star form, Anthelios will float by your computer and give you light during late hours of writing. But he likes to be fed - a lot. And as often as possible. Next is Yakecen (YAH-kay-sin), who is the middle brother and possibly the meanest of the three, although he's less outright aggressive than his big brother. About the size of a large horse, Yakecen is a mixture of black and sickly green scales, with bright green eyes that seem to glow, as if lit from within by some unhealthy light. Like his brother, he sports horns, but his are much smaller, although they appear to be tipped with some kind of oozing, yellow-green pus like substance. No one bothers him to ask. He does not have any legs, and is really more of a flying serpent than a true dragon. His wings are batlike, all black and leathery. His tail is like that of a scorpion, cruelly barbed, and oozing with the same material as his horns. Unlike his brother, Yakecen is more sinister. He won't do anything flagrant like eat your friends or burn down your house, but if you forget to feed him on day, he'll sneak into your house (by turning into a small black snake), bite you and poison you, so that you can't do anything but sit around and write the next day, because you'll be too sick to do anything else. He will also chew through cords for TVs and video games, and, as a last resort, even eat up your Internet cable. When in his snake form, he can double as a silent protector, but only if he knows he'll get fed. Starve him, and he'll resort to more and more heinous acts for food. The youngest of the bunch is Samladh (SAU-lah). He's also the smallest, only the size of a large housecat. He's white, with blue markings around his eyes, snout, joints, and tail in spirals, much like the Pictish warrior designs, as well as a bright blue mane, like that of a lion. Like his older brothers, he also is horned - he sports ram horns, that spiral down, around, and back, with the points ending up just below his eyes, which are the same bright blue as his markings. His tail is the length of his body and half again, slender as a whip and tipped in an icicle sharp as a needle. He is the fastest of the three, and also the one most talented with magic. Being that he is based on old Scottish myth, his magic is the cruel magic of the North, cold and biting. He is the most emotionally detached of the three as well - Anthelios is good at anger, and Yakecen is good at sadism and hurting others because its fun, but Samladh, he hurts... just because, which makes him dangerously close to psychopathy. But of course, he's a dragon, and what do dragons want with human morals? If you don't feed him, he will stand over you while you sleep (or eat, or do whatever it is that isn't writing) and send massive chills through your body, as if you were freezing from your very core until you feed him. He is small, but quick, cunning, and utterly ruthless. So, does anyone want these three? If you're really brave, you can take all of them (better not fall behind!) but they're more than okay being separated as well - being of one clutch, they can all telepathically communicate anyways.

Wow, so many people leaving dragons! I hope there are enough Nano-ers to adopt them! :) With my dragon Rally on my hands, I can't take care of this fireball too, so I'll put him up for adoption! Pyramid is a bronze-like dragon about the size of a husky. He prefers to live outside, but he'll come in to sleep if you ask him nicely. He plays well with dogs, but he loves to tease cats, so unless your feline is tolerant, he might not be the dragon for you. Pyramid is a haughty dragon, but he's utterly loyal--he won't hesitate to light unwanted visitors on fire with just a command! When you fall behind on your word count, he starts throwing things (rocks, basketballs, small children) against your windows. He also might chew all the cords but the one to your computer (including your Ethernet cable) so you'll have less distractions.

I need a pushy one. But if he takes my coffee i'm ditching em. I'm leaving my sea dragon. He's a sweet little windy blue dragon that will curl around your neck and sleep when he's happy. He has these adorable tear drop eyes and lacy fins, and just know that if you disappoint him, he will cry and cry a lot.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Prosaurus — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:34:48 -0600

Lookin' for a green dragon that's playful and quite small. He must like cookies, an needs to be able to stab me in the head until I reach my daily word count, as long as he doesn't stop me from doing so. I'm leaving Jeff, a small (Say, a small dog size?) red dragon who just learned how to breathe fire and loves to abuse it. He's hyperactive and can only be stopped with a lot of home baking or by you exceeding your desired word count for the day (Exceeding by at least 100 words, that is). His eyes are black, and he has purple spikes down his back. His wings' webbing is the same purple.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Cressy16 — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:40:44 -0600

I'd love to adopt Jeff! I'm leaving Noala, a neon purple dragon with silver eyes and scales. Perhaps you'd like her! She's roughly half the size of a computer monitor; She expects a full meal each day. Her wings are about twice the size of her body (when unfolded) and she's been known to beat her owners in the head repeatedly with them when they fall behind in their own goals. If not, he's open for adoption.

Don't eat her!

i'm leaving : Key Key is a black scaled dragon, who look's a lot like a cat but act's like a happy hyper dog, he's a size sifter for traveling convenience in order to stay next to your laptop,journal, cell phone, or scrap's of paper, so's not to miss a word, but his normal size is that of a large dog. his tail is super long and pointed the very tip is teal colored, which he uses for smacking any and all distractions. p.s he growls if you get distracted, he love's going for long walk's in your story and feel's very sick when he hasn't had his word meal everyday, his most favorite treat is those wonderful and sudden story thoughts you wright down on what ever you can fin in attempts not to lose that great idea. he purr's like a lion when, he sleep's with you his favorite spot to lay i above your head kinda being your pillow. and at the end of the month if you've reached your goal he produces a prize for you and no it's not a mess :]

Muslimah.98 — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 23:15:16 -0600

Leaving a dragon! This little one is named Bellatrix - after the Harry Potter character, what else? She doesn't take after her namesake TOO much, but if you call her Bella or Trixy, watch out and you might want to hide your novel ;) Bellatrix is average size for a dragon; just a spot taller, wider, and generally bigger than two houses put together, and a brilliant purple color. She has massive red streaks running down her back, and scales the size of small elephants; they're also purple [the scales]. She can breathe fire with the best of them, and her wings are black as ebony. Despite her appearance, she's pretty gentle in general, and will never protest to take you on a ride around town - granted you've exceeded your word count for the day, that is. She'll eat literally anything, and she needs words to stay alive. If you don't reach your word count per day, she will eat your computer without pausing, then move on to your favorite writing chair, your favorite writing corner, and eventually your house. So watch out. :D She also loves the Lord of the Rings movies, and if you've written enough, she's the friendliest you'll ever meet. Plus she sings like a radio. Any takers? She does need a good home! :D

Sight of the Blind, have I got a dragon for you. Presenting: Atanir, a little white fellow with cat-like green eyes. He would love to sit on someone's shoulder while they write. He's brave for such a small creature and would gladly face even the most grotesque zombie or most fantastic ghost. He does have a mischievous side and a knowing look to go along with it.

Seeking: a name for a little bronze wordcount dragon... Offering: Pinky, a baseball-sized dragon. Pinky loves playing on desks and frolicking across keyboards.She is baby blue with lavender eyes. Now, I know what you're thinking. But she's called Pinky because she breathes pink fire, especially when she sneezes. And she's allergic to low word counts.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

hlltwin — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:55:13 -0600

I shall adopt her and she shall be my Pinky. Muse: this little lady is a darling who wants to cuddle... until you get distracted by the internet, then she sticks her claws into your thighs. She's a western style dragon who is purple with green underwings, inside her ears and on her belly (which she loves to have rubbed).

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

MyPrinceZuko — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:17:37 -0600

Aw, I need a dragon. My wordcount is falling behind - how else can I get it up without a Wordcount dragon?? Anyone willing to leave one for me will get cookies. :)))

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Swiftflame — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:10:10 -0600

Heyo, MyPrinceZuko. :) I have a couple. iche. She's a blue, furry dragon with a long muzzle and generally slender build. Her wings are translucent and are folded almost invisibly against her sides. She's about four feet long, with almost half of that used up in tail length. She's light and can fit in your lap, though. She will give you three chances if you fall behind on your wordcount. Once, she'll leave you alone. Twice, she'll close your laptop or turn off your monitor if you're procrastinating. Thrice, and she'll start writing in inane sentences of her own or deleting stuff, to the agony of your Angel (if you have one). Don't try to let her write for you, though. That won't end well. If you can stand to ignore her on the third chance... I haven't dared find out. She's generally very sweet all of the time, but if you fall behind she'll show her cunning, trickster side. AND A small, twelve-inch, golden dragon. His name is officially the Little Dragon. He lives in a satchel and has a very bad attitude and a high-pitched, fast voice. HE WILL BITE YOU if you irritate him. He has no wings but is very long and thin, with dexterous hands, so careful of your stuff.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

MyPrinceZuko — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:33:41 -0600

TheJazzPony — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:33:01 -0600

I'll adopt Tink. Making a dragon cry would guilt trip me into making up my word count Up for adoption: Jaz is a small black dragon about the size of a beagle, with big brown eyes, and a medium wingspan. She is very compact with short legs. She loves to fly around, and will lick and nibble on just about everything. Very much a people dragon, she loves attention, is game for anything, and is a huge drama queen, right on par with junior high girls. It is very important that you feed her regularly, or she will start eating your novel, and may end up nibbling on you. Take care of her, respect her, and you will have a friend for life. If you neglect her, or try to force her to do something she does not like WATCH OUT! This little girl will let you know when she does not approve.

Would anyone create a dragon name (and maybe a bit of personality) for me? A few days ago I found this adorable statuette of a bronze dragon sitting on its rock, wings slightly outstreched, tail curled around the rock. Needless to say I had to buy it (it's cute, and of excellent craftmanship). The statuette is barely 10 cm tall and sits right next to my keyboard. It has a slightly fierce expression (maybe the original crafter wanted it to look protective about its jewels, tiny splinters of crystal at its feet - I prefer to think the dragon challenges me to write on, even if I'm abysmally behind the word count!). Can anyone come up with a name and a little personality? I simply can't. Need something encouraging, maybe a bit strict. A tiny coppery spark of fire, blown at my hand that is pointing the mouse away from my NaNo document probably hurts! I'm not a fan of blisters all over my hands! ;-) Thanks in advance and cookies for everyone!

I'm in search of a protective dragon who will "take care of" all the thing in the house which distract me. (cats, dog, rabbits and my sig. other who gets quite grouchy when I spend too much time writing) With me, this dragon would be lovey and cuddly, keeping my feet warm when they're cold and cool when they get too hot, so i don't have to squirm around trying to get comfy. (makes it very hard to keep my mind on my plot!!) In return, I leave Tinkerbell, affectionately known as Tink. She is a rather large (about the size of a mid-sized SUV) grey dragon with big, bright blue eyes. She likes to play fetch, and when you've crumpled up and thrown a page across the room in frustration she will bring it back to you, insisting that you keep it in your MS and work around it. Warning: Tink *hates* crayons and the smell will make her destroy your house!!!

man these dragons are going fast, alright, leaving: Jade: Sounds like a girl, actually a boy, don't get this mixed up unless you enjoy burnt toast and other breakfasts. Loves adventure, quite the stereotypical boy. Thinks girl dragons are icky. Has jade green eyes and shiny, rainbow scales. (I'm gonna miss the tyke) Will nom anything if not fed and also turn all the faucets in your house up to really hot so super hot water comes out whenever you try to take a shower or wash your hands if you do not feed and nomming ur other possessions fails to motivate u. Xavier: Boy. Loves stories about pirates and stories about technology. Has cream colored scales and honey yellow eyes. Also boyish, but actually likes girl dragons and will often bother them, trying to woo them. Mischivious, often getting into trouble. Will throw temper tantrum if not fed and destroy much of house. Rilla: Purple scaled dragon with one yellow eye and one red eye. Sassy, spunky. Has spiky ridges. Often appears cold and strict on outside, but actually very loving and loyal on inside, once she gets to know you. Will viciously and ruthlessly destroy home if not fed. Also will jab your hand with spiky ridges if not fed. All three dragons are about the size of a miniature poodle. Enjoy, and save some dragons for me too!

Calypph: Bronze scaled dragon with bronze eyes. About size of small statue, will shoot coppery fire at writer's hand whenever they stop for too long. Also loves to curl up on shoulder or really any small, comfortable place they can find on their master. Likes walks and going to museums, have to keep an eye on them because has tendency to steal shiny objects when any are near and very protective of territory. Also, likes to randomly pop up and surprise master, very good at hiding. Will scare master if master should stop writing for too long. Can be gentle and kind, but also fierce if hungry. Do not underestimate this beauty. It's a he. Hope you like your dragon! This inspired me to make up my own dragon from a statue I have, or maybe other statues I find. So thanks, I hope you don't mind if I make up dragons based off statues too. Good luck!

I'll adopt little Rilla! She'll grow fat and happy with me. Leaving behind: Kaote. A massive, black hulking beast with thick scales lined in silver. His tiny, beady little red eyes scan your room, taking in all of his surroundings. He will take over your bed, and throw sarcasm at you as though it grows from trees. Better get your wordcount in, or he'll let his passive aggressive side show and pee in your shoes and leave small brown presents in your mother's bed.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Shadowphaze — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 07:27:25 -0600

Awww I'll take Jade. I need that kind of motivation. :-) Leaving behind: Aspen. Aspen is a light blue dragon with shiny scales. Her chest and underbelly are a pearlescent white color as are her claws. She has sapphire blue eyes and the sweetest little roar you'll ever hear. She's no bigger than a mouse and loves to curl up against your neck for warmth and comfort. She loves to bury under scarves and absolutely adores long hair. Both are there for her own comfort and her own amusement when you stop writing and need motivation. This will come with light tugs of your hair to begin with or a small nibble on your neck. The longer you delay feeding her what she wants, the more obnoxious she gets. I've had her actually tug on my ear lobe once to get my attention. She likes peppermint candies (specifically candycanes), chocolate kisses and pocket lint.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Aww. So many awesome dragons. I think I'll take Kaote. If he can help you get passed your 50k, I wonder what he can do for me... And I'll leave: Arion. He's a little guy with golden eyes and a slate grey body slightly chubby with his youth. But he's sure to grow up beautiful with his cobalt blue wings, one feathered and one scaled. He's loyal and sweet, though often times very quiet. Now and then he'll chirrup for attention, but as long as you're writing, he's content to sit by and watch.

Nyrra: About the size of a healthy medium-sized dog, Nyrra has perfect gold scales that shimmer and shine in sunlight and moonlight alike, and bright blue eyes that light up with curiosity every time she sees you writing. She doesn't require you to be writing every waking moment, but she tends to whip your butt with her tale if you've gone for too long without adding a few hundred words to your totals. She loves fantasy and supernatural fiction of all kinds, and has a bright purring trill of a laugh.

She loves fantasy and supernatural fiction of all kinds, and has a bright purring trill of a laugh. -GloryChan Allow me to present my clutch of three brothers, all awaiting a home: Anthelios, Yakecen, and Samladh. Anthelios (an-THEE-lee-os) is the oldest of the trio, and is about the size of a school bus at the moment. His scales are a bright burnished gold, and his eye sockets are literally full of fire - it is unknown whether or not he can actually see through some mystical means or just uses scent to get around, but either way, this doesn't seem to impair him in the slightest. His head is crowned with wicked black spikes that measure two feet in length, curving back towards his spine, which is itself lined in dark golden grey spikes. His tail is the same length as the rest of his body, and is tipped in a wreath of flame. Lanky, thin wings made from some iridescent material snap and fold at his sides, as he furls and unfurls them anxiously. Smoke pours from his nostrils at a constant, and it is clear that he will be incredibly unhappy if you don't fulfill your word count for the day. He is impatient as well, and will snap at you, your house, your pets, your friends, and any other distractions, even resorting to breathing fire on things until you sit down and feed him. He likes his words raw, with no forethought, so he's excellent for you seat-of-your-pants novelists. He can't really fit into most buildings all too well, so through the magic of dragons, he has the option of morphing himself into a small red star the size of a tennis ball, with solar flares and all. In star form, Anthelios will float by your computer and give you light during late hours of writing. But he likes to be fed - a lot. And as often as possible. Next is Yakecen (YAH-kay-sin), who is the middle brother and possibly the meanest of the three, although he's less outright aggressive than his big brother. About the size of a large horse, Yakecen is a mixture of black and sickly green scales, with bright green eyes that seem to glow, as if lit from within by some unhealthy light. Like his brother, he sports horns, but his are much smaller, although they appear to be tipped with some kind of oozing, yellow-green pus like substance. No one bothers him to ask. He does not have any legs, and is really more of a flying serpent than a true dragon. His wings are batlike, all black and leathery. His tail is like that of a scorpion, cruelly barbed, and oozing with the same material as his horns. Unlike his brother, Yakecen is more sinister. He won't do anything flagrant like eat your friends or burn down your house, but if you forget to feed him on day, he'll sneak into your house (by turning into a small black snake), bite you and poison you, so that you can't do anything but sit around and write the next day, because you'll be too sick to do anything else. He will also chew through cords for TVs and video games, and, as a last resort, even eat up your Internet cable. When in his snake form, he can double as a silent protector, but only if he knows he'll get fed. Starve him, and he'll resort to more and more heinous acts for food. -sariaru Miche. She's a blue, furry dragon with a long muzzle and generally slender build. Her wings are translucent and are folded almost invisibly against her sides. She's about four feet long, with almost half of that used up in tail length. She's light and can fit in your lap, though. She will give you three chances if you fall behind on your wordcount. Once, she'll leave you alone. Twice, she'll close your laptop or turn off your monitor if you're procrastinating. Thrice, and she'll start writing in inane sentences of her own or deleting stuff, to the agony of your Angel (if you have one). Don't try to let her write for you, though. That won't end well. If you can stand to ignore her on the third chance... I haven't dared find out. She's generally very sweet all of the time, but if you fall behind she'll show her cunning, trickster side. -Swiftflame Peanut is a stinky little dragon who likes to eat. He's white, but a few of his scales have fallen off and been replaced with other, colourful ones. If you don't feed him ridiculous amounts he will fart, and you do not want that. He's looking for a good home where he can get nice and fat. -Indigo Supernova I have discovered Sir James Sharp wandering about, however, and haven't the space for him with my new puppy in the house. Sir Sharp is about the size of a housecat, with purple and silver scales. His eyes are violet, and can see through any shrouded attempts at procrastination under the guise of research. Although not prone to violence, he is extremely territorial and will shriek demandingly when words are not properly provided. When content, he is an excellent source of witticisms and inspiration. -Bad Rose

Hmm. I need a dragon that's small and cute enough to guilt me into writing when I look into its adorable big eyes. That seems to be the only thing that'll do it... And in return, if someone can come up with this perfect dragon, I'm leaving this one: A midnight blue dragon,with silvery glints. He has big yellow eyes and Sort of antenna things. Small enough to sit on your shoulder and bite your ear until you feed it some words! Goes by Astro, but has also been called, "that thing that won't get off my head".

I think I've found the right dragon for you! Her name is Rosey, and she's a lovely pink color. Her eyes are bright gold and are big enough to drown in. She's very affectionate, climbing right into your lap and staring at you until you feed her. Whenever you feel like getting distracted, she's gently nose your arm and whine just a bit. If you're not careful her lower lip will tremble and steamy tears will drip out of her eyes!

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

I just found a dragon that needs a good home! His name is George and he's quite an amazing beast. He's an older dragon, just hit his 2,000 birthday. He is very large; his smoky gold body is almost as big as a mountain. Fortunately, he comes travel-size for your convenience. When he's in his smaller form, he'll most likely take over your bed. His eyes are wise, but twinkle with a mischievous glint. George especially loves to gobble up large words. Run on sentences make him a bit gassy, so watch out for that! (Why I have to give him up myself.) If you don't feed him enough, he'll just grow bigger and bigger in annoyance - so feed him, you don't want to have to replace your roof!

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Greentigerr — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:37:59 -0600

Ooh, I'll adopt George. He sounds like a dragon I used to know, so maybe he's gone to Narnia and grown up in the few years since I've seen him. Also, I just hit 20,000 words. A bit behind. I'll feed him plenty of enormous words, and he'll remind me when my sentences get longer than average paragraphs. Thanks! I'm going to leave Orron and Silverspear. Orron is the equivalent of a teenage dragon. He's playful and about the size of a car. He'd love to live in your garage, bedroom, or bookshelf. His golden flames smell great, which can really inspire you to include what those scenes smell like as well as how they look and sound. But as a teenager, he's always hungry. Watch out, or he'll start nibbling your ear! He likes to curl up around your chair, keeping your toes nice and toasty with the flames of inspiration. Or sleepiness. Silverspear is a little hatchling, colored blue and silver. He's about cat sized, though much pudgier. His eyes are an electric cobalt blue and he's a two-legged, two-winged sort of dragon. He might look small, but don't let that fool you. He can eat thousands of words until his shiny, silver-scaled tummy bulges out to the size of a basketball. At that point, he just rolls around wherever you set him, squeaking happily. If you write on a laptop, he'll sleep on it. He takes lots of naps, but if you don't feed him enough he's got the most pitiful puppy eyes around. Also, if you've got breakable ideas don't let him near them. He likes to shake things up in your story. His stumpy little legs can twist your plot until it's something twisted, broken, marvelous, and just as shiny as his scales. He likes the taste of odd words and will savor them, licking all the delicious obscurity out of them.

Re: Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Greentigerr — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:44:06 -0600

You can have Selkius. She's an ice-blue fledgling dragon, and her little blue wings are always going as fast as a hummingbird's, though she can only get off the ground with a bit of help and some nice, breezy, floaty words. All that flapping burns up energy quickly, so you've got to keep feeding her or she'll cry. And you don't want to see her cry-- she can cry a glacier. Everything her tears touch freezes. When she's happy, she'll keep your drinks cold. Unless your drink of choice is coffee, in which case she'll slurp it and literally bounce off the walls. That's the other way to get her airborne. She's a cheerful little dragon, and quite cute.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

giodungca — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 06:25:00 -0600

Orron sounds a lot like my MC, so maybe he'll inspire me to write more about him, seeing that I'm waaaaaaay behind, starting at the halfway point. I'll leave Jera. She is a conservative, severe young dragon, who would stare at you unblinkingly and accusingly while you try to explain that you have schoolwork to do, at which point, she fluffs out her wings a bit, as if to say, "All humans are the same." She is unexpectedly attractive for a dragon, what with her shimmering coat of indigo, and dainty claws. She also breathes fire the color of your character's clothing, so you might be inspired to describe their clothes.

Jera is exactly what I need right now. I welcome him into the thunder. (that's the proper collective noun for dragons, you know. And anyone who gets the reference gets a cookie) I think I'll leave Tawny. She's a tiny gold-brown sort of dragon, legless, about the size of a housecat. She can hover around almost as high as your writing desk and puff cutely (I mean menacingly) in your ear until you continue. She can also scooch up your arm a lot like a snake does, pleading with you with her big amber eyes until you continue. Sometimes, she whimpers like a cat. She's that cute.

I just hope he fits in my dorm room - While I'm not a fan of tiny dragons, school bus sized dragons aren't my cup of tea - I'd just hide in my little dorm room where they don't fit.

Leaving one more for some lucky writer! Staria is a black dragon the size of a shoebox with long delicate wings and silver eyes. Each of her scales has a small crystal imbedded in its surface giving her coat the appearance of the night sky. Some have even said that it looks as though the stars themselves have blessed her by always keeping close counsel. She is smart and wise beyond her 500 years. She's patient but she understands the importance of meeting goals when one commits and will make sure the goals are met. She absolutely loves words but is not a fan of contractions. She feels cheated because they're two words cut in half and smooshed together. If she can't have some words to nom on, she can be temporarily bribed with warm socks out of the dryer, a string of pearls or a rubber ducky.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

JetteMuts — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:02:11 -0600

Aaah I'll have Staria!! Leaving: Zaforon, a little thunder dragon who is very happy with words, and if you don't feed him often enough, he'll try to get them out of you (by shocking you). He is pitchblack with a blue shine. He is really impatient, so you have to keep him busy and distracted. If you're scared for anything, he just bumps it into you. If you're afraid of falling, he'll show you how to fall, the fast way, quite a shocktherapist I'll say. But if you manage to keep him happy, you'll have a blast of a dragon!

Ooh adorable thread! Sadly, I am not participating in NaNo, so this little girl will just need a new home: Meet Minnow, a very tiny dragon best described as acting like a six-year-old. She's the size of your hand with shimmering cerulean scales and darker blue wings. She can be very patient with you, but when it's obvious that you're slacking, you're gonna have an angry little thing on your hands! If you start slacking, you'll slowly start finding certain things that you need missing. She ADORES out-of-the-ordinary words like 'whimsical' and 'serendipitous'. Feed her daily and take good care of her! Am looking for: A girl dragon who is protective with black scales. Any ideas? I could use her.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

LeeWolf10 — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:23:32 -0600

Paper Novas — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:44:58 -0600

Aww I'll adopt Minnow, she'll help keep me on track :) I have a dragon that completely fits your description! Her name's Ailith. Ailith is a little dragon the size of a small cat, and has black scales that shimmer purple in the sunlight. She tends to get very angry when you decide to spend time with others instead of her, and enjoys chasing them away. When you're doing what you're supposed to be doing she's very kind and caring though, and loves being stroked. She's happiest when you're writing action scenes, because they just make her excited. Ailith's favorite foods are coffee (or anything caffinated really) and various sorts of candy (especially M&Ms). Hope someone finds her a good home, as I'll definitely give Minnow :D

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

He likes cheese, for no apparant reason...He is also a big fan of replacing all contractions with their full words. He enjoys sitting upon your head and flicking his tail back and forth as he watches you type on NaNo forums instead of in your novel. If you get up to watch television, he will stare at you until you resume your spot in front of the computer, where he will resume his spot upon your head. He likes it when you scratch behind his ear, and although he may snort flames, he means no harm. He loves himself, and if you adopt him, he will love you too! (sets him down on the floor and pats his head) Also, he bites. (runs away)

His eyes are yellow, friendly, happy, yellow when you make your word count, but angry and blazing yellow when you don't. He has a set of fearsome violet horns atop his head, and quite ferocious looking claws! He loves eating crazy, nonsense sentences and enjoys sarcasm. He'll be your best friend...unless you anger him.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

JettaBaby — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:31:07 -0600

I've been looking for a dragon, and I haven't really found one that fits me, but I'll leave a few I've found that might be perfect for somebody else. Trinket: A young female dragon, with an irredescant blue-green color. Trinket is a little unusual, as she's only about the size of a hamster. But don't let her tiny size fool you! Despite being small, she has a huge appetite. It's important to make sure that if you adopt Trinket, you keep her very well fed. Also, she has a habbit of curling up inside shoes after eating, so you'll want to be careful of that. She can be a little demanding, but she's also very affectionent. Lucif: A young-ish male dragon, with a pale orage-red coloring like muted fire. He's about average size, the size of a regular house cat. He's very picky about what words he gets. Plain old mumble-jumble won't do for this dragon. Although he will enjoy most word counts, he prefers ones with specific deadlines met. And if it isn't up to par with him, he usually goes for your socks first. We're not really sure why Lucif likes socks so much, but it's better just to keep him fed properly. Amy: A young adult female dragon, with bright purple scales. She's also average size, the size of a house cat. She's a very cuddly dragon. I've noticed that she has a tendency to curl up on your shoulders and watch your screen, occasionaly licking your cheeck. She's pretty easy to take care of, as long as you keep your word count up. She has a dislike for horror, though, and it seems she prefers fantasy, although most story types will do. I hope homes for these three can be found soon!

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Paigee — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 13:34:29 -0600

I will adopt Trinket! She sounds perfect for me!

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Temis — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 14:19:14 -0600

I can't decide between Amy and Silverspears, so i guess i have to adopt both (checking my Wordcount, i guess i will be able to feed two if i want to finish on time... *sighs and gets back to work*) But I leave a little one to be adopted: Numari is a little catsized female Dragon, with vibrant red and gold scales, dark golden wings and purple eyes. She isn't very demanding at first, but when you don't feed her enough for some days, her hunger grows and she insists on her wordcount with the help of her little sharp claws, so you better feed her if you want to keep that jeans... But properly fed, she is an absolute darling. She loves all kind of words, but especially detailed desciptions of exotic destinations, of ships and of librarys. Plus, she has a little romantic touch, so if you add some romance in your novel, you will make her very happy. But she is fine with almost every kind of story, unless it scares her too much. So better no Zombies, but if your Vampire has a romantic flair, she won't be scared too much...

I'll adopt Lucif! I like socks, maybe he'll get me up to par. Leaving: Lyre - Male dragon about the size of a hand, he adores music and breathing fire. He's a deep purple mixed with a little black and yellow, and spiked tail that's ready to whip out at you. If you procrastinate or aren't writing without a reason, he'll catch your arm (not your hand, then you wouldn't be able to write easily) with his tail. If you ignore him, it'll keep getting more forceful. He does enjoy being above par, so if you get enough words done, he won't whip you for taking a break, for the rest of day if it's late. If you write a lot, he'll warm up your fingers with his fire. Don't worry, it doesn't burn!

I'm looking for a Word-Count Dragon that can get along with my two Plot Cats, and Inspriation Bird, and my Plot Bunny, and possible separate the one cat from the bunny when needed, as the two tend to not get along very well.

So I found a few plot dragons outside on my lawn. My kitsune started freaking out when he saw them, so I decided to put them here. I'm still looking for one, if someone has one for me. :) Jillian - A gingery orange dragon with a cheery attitude and a bad temper. She loves fantasy and will make you describe everything (consequently boosting your word count). Her favorite foods are mashed potatoes, hot chocolate (or apple cider), and steak. Mexican is flipping amazing to her, and she would eat it everyday for every meal. Don't let her. She also enjoys Chinese and Japanese. Mitch - a green dragon who loves anything to do with cheese. Except plain cheese. He hates that. Mitch's favorite stories are ones with dragons, but any books at all will satisfy him. Historical fiction is nice, too. His personality is rather dry, and he greatly enjoys the use of sarcasm. As I've heard him say, "Anything without cheese and sarcasm is nothing at all, no is it?"

Either of my two would be good for you. They're great around others

Jillian sounds like exactly what I need! I'll take her! I'm leaving behind a little green dragon I found on my couch one day. He says his name is Rufus, but evry time I say it he giggles as if he has lied to me. Anyway, Rufus is a prankster, and he loves to mess you up. His favorite thing to do is set up traps, although he'll never turn down a meal. His favorite foodis macaroni and cheese, and he also likes maple syrup. A whole lot.

Lilia Sparks — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 18:50:33 -0600

I'll take him!! Not exactly what I need, but I'm always off on what I actually need, so maybe he really is it. Sounds just like my brother. Oh boy

Zaforon sounds like a dragon I need at the moment. I'll adopt the pretty guy. <3

I'm going to leave Mazel and Lawliet here, they're twins. Mazel is honey-brown with sporadic black scales, and Lawliet is the exact opposite, pitch black with random honey-brown ones. Mazel is fiesty and gets hyper often, and nothing pleases her more than a rapidly rising word count, but she has a big appetite so don't expect her to your keyboard if you let her get hungry, she will force you to resort to the horrible on-screen one ^^ ! Lawliet has the same tastes, but will often lounge around on your bed, or the nearest soft thing by your workspace. Don't be fooled by this though, he can be worse than Mazel and is rumoured to have eaten a whole mouse (yes, the electronic kind), and pryed away from a keyboard both the alt and the tab key in ten seconds flat to remove any means of distraction. I hope they go to fast typers, so they will be happy not hungry XD !

Also I'll adopt Mitch, he sounds wonderful :3

I'm putting Blaize up for adoption. He is a large, deep crimson dragon, the color of very red autumn leaves (grr the autocorrect is American and it won't let me put a 'u' in colour). Blaize's head reaches the average person's floating rib. He has small, batlike wings, large, curling ram's horns, large retractable claws and a volatile temperament. He can be surprisingly affectionate for such a scary looking thing... as long as you're writing. He becomes very unruly very quickly if he gets bored or hungry.

Mazel and Lawliet can come with me :D

I have Rai. She's the size of a medium sized dog and changes color depending on her mood. Her eyes are constantly silver though. She is quite the child. She whines when not fed enough words and is always wanting more. Though she helps a lot too. She has the power to enter dreams, so she helps me figure out my plot while I sleep. :D

Jaxie has been taken about 12 times, but I would love her too!! :) I'll take extra good care of her!

ChristieM — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:29:11 -0600

I adopted this sweet girl, but then I got a little carried away with adopting creatures and ended up with three dragons, who unfortunately did not get along very well with Amber, so I'm putting her back here to see if anyone else would like to take her in. She is such an awesome dragont! piccolafata posted this about Amber. "She the perfect size to curl up on your notebook, and has brilliant golden scales, but don't mistake her for a cute little puffball. She WILL steal your coffee if you don't meet your word goal. And heaven knows that none of us Nanowrimo's want that. She's thin, like a chinese dragon, but has no whiskers. Her big purple eyes have the power to compel your to write. Just remember that she can breath fire while you're searching the web..." I hope someone can give her a good home!

I found a little dragon. He gets along quite well with other creatures (I know, since I have seven creatures of my own- two wordcount dragons, a kitsune, a plot cat, an inspiration bird, a figment, and a hellhound. *cough* Anywayyy), this little guy says his name is Baduna, and he is about the size of a kitten. He is a powdery blue color, and he *will* steal all your coffee/chocolate/food in general if you don't write! But he's really a sweet guy. :)

Mine is Orchid. She's very tiny, (About 1 inch high & two inches long), and is long and skinny like a Chinese dragon. She does have wings, but they're dragonfly wings that change color according to her mood. Her eyes are silver, and the rest of her is dark jade. She is very demanding; unless I meet my wordcount goal, she holds my noveling pencils hostage along with my goldfish's food. The amount of words I must feed her a day is constantly changing, and I am forced to meet that amount, lest my fish starve to death. Because she's so tiny, she can fit in my pocket and come with me to school and help me with my novels there. (Like during geometry) She also goes over my half-baked ides with me; helping me tweak them before I put them in a novel. (Or sometimes scorching the exeptionally bad ones) Unfortunatly, she has claimed the area in front of my dragon books on my bookcase as hers, and won't let me read one unless I give her extra words after I meet my word goal ^_^

Aw, she sounds amazing. I'll take Amber home, and put her to good use.

Sounds wonderful....any more Dragons up for adoptions? :)

I just had two Wordcount Dragon's pounding on my front door. They didn't like each other so I asked if one of them wanted to be adopted. Annabeth: She's a one inch long dragon who is a light green. She seems to be very proud and loves Sci-Fi fantasy. Be warned though. She absolutely HATES fanfiction. She loves to win so be careful if you are behind on your wordcount. She'll go in a rampage and begin destroying all your precious writing tools. Despite all her flaws she seems to be great with other Writing Buddies and she'll always be there when you're down. She's very good for giving advice.

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

AvianWiings — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:27:52 -0600

Could someone explain to me how these work exactly?

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Danette Loreen — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 11:14:03 -0600

I am adopting Annabeth! We will be perfect together :) She must have known I needed her! Thank you Chibi-Sama!

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

Oh, can I adopt Annabeth too?? She sounds amazing!!

The writing buddies, like these, are really just sort of imaginary friends. They have personalities and so you imagine them being with you all the time. It's really just imaginary friends for adults, but it's so much fun, and you start to really love them!! I sound crazy :)

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

ChristieM — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:02:00 -0500

I'm stealing her!! Poor thing has been waiting 2 months- I would love to give Orchid a home :) I have geometry too, so she can feel perfectly at home :D

*glances at her Hellhounds, dragon, and kitsunes* Funny...You sound perfectly normal to me. ^.^

Re: [Writing Buddies]Adopt A Wordcount Dragon

-Katlyn- — Mon, 07 May 2012 12:12:25 -0500

Wherever I go, my Angel a couple other writing buddies always follow me. They might be imaginary friends, but they sure are good friends! Always encouraging us, prompting us to do what we love in spite of the world around us. My Dragons need to be fed, and I feed them, just like any other pet. ^-^ Yes, among writers, this is rather normal. :D

I'll take Blaize, he sounds like an awesome motivator.
