backwards frenzy
Backwards Frenzy with Kismi and Kalionth

It all started as a tiny little plan in Kismi's head. The Archiver is great friends with Kalionth, as they are both nearly exactly the same, personality-wise. Which is not a good thing at _all_. Kalionth expanded on it, and the plan grew and grew from the two friends bouncing ideas off each other. So when the plan was first taken to the Weyrwoman, a "no" was the immediate answer. Both Kismi and Kalionth had ways of getting around Maalya, however, and the firm "no" was gradually weakened to a "we'll see" and then a "maybe" and finally "Alright! Do whatever you shaffiting want!" No one bothered even talking to the jubilant Frenzy-planners for about a week afterwards - their smugness was palpable and their Frenzy was all they'd talk about. So it was decided. Eriol threw caution to the winds, inviting dragons of any shade, gender, size with riders of all sorts. Traditionalists scowled and muttered dark prophecies. Kismi's followers cheered the newcomers, and ushered them into the companion Weyrhold that was quickly built. It was situated closer to Kelvar, the main Hold, and Alianora grudingly accepted "Lady Weyrholder" status, shared with Kismi, until the Frenzy was over.

All righty. This is a "backwards" Frenzy. Meaning that the flight is almost normal. Except that tiny notion of Kalionth's that the females will be the one chasing the males, and not vice versa. So send in many, many dragons. There is no limit, at the moment. I'll say stop when the amount of forms appear to stop totally.

After the flight is flown, you won't have to do _anything_. Just send in a form or e-mail Alianora with the amount of eggs you want. If you have an adoption agency, your leader and/or a representative that will be staying at Kelvar Weyrhold during the duration of the Frenzy/the Hatching day(s). When I decide to Hatch the clutch, I will be creating the dragons AND the persona(s) the dragon in (each of) your egg(s) Bonds to. If there's a specific color you want, be sure to put that in the form. Rarely will I accept personality guidelines for dragon or NPC Candidate.

After the clutch Hatches, when you get your dragons and personas, you will write stories. At _least_ the post-Impression stories, but I'm hoping for pre-Impression as well. I'll try and make up schedules for the Candidates/weyrlings (if they stay at the Weyrhold). They can be of any race/origin/etc. as long as you stay within the boundaries of what I give you. I may give you a plotline to work into your story somewhere.

When you send in Candidate spots, you'll never know what you get. I may choose to have double-Bonds, they may be cross-gendered Impressions, freaks of natures, twins/triplets within an egg. If there's something you DON'T want, mention it, or else you're giving total control to me. So you might send in two forms and end up with around four-five dragons. Yes, I will have fun with this.

Another option is to send in information about an RPG character you have. For example, a greenrider you're attached to. They'll be considered a "normal" Candidate, but you don't have to write up the stories. Their dragon will just Hatch and you'll get an image. Or co-write a group of Candidates with a friend! Or even _one_ Candidate with a friend! Heck, have your _pets_ write the story with you. Have fun, be creative!

These eggs will not be tampered with. I'll try to stay as close to colors as genetics will allow, so if you want a rarer dragon, send in rare parents for the flight! (Yes, shameless begging, but I want this to work.)

I would really, really like to have a variety of people involved with this. As of right now, this is a one-time only deal (which may change, eventually), so I'd like to have all sorts of new people. Tell your friends! Tell your family! Tell your dog! Invite them all! You don't have to do _any_ work for _ages_ on this, and I'm even going to be flexible on when stories must be up. More/other information will be included on the form pages. Or e-mail me. Or post at a group I frequent.

Okay.. accidentally uploaded over all the updates. Anyway, everything's as up to date as I can make it. So send in forms. I need around 12, I think.
