Do you ship some wyrms? I know we do~ Well here's your chance to make your dreams come true. Write up a fanfiction and post it here. It can be whatever wyrms you'd like, any size. The winner of the contest will have the pairing's baby made and mailed to them. (Teacups will be the result. No freebie standards for you!)
Now fly my pretties and make me some magic.
IMPORTANT: They must be breedable wyrms. (But this won't use up a breeding.)
(And you can all blame D, Sciggles, and the tipsy stream.)

RULES-
* Fics must be family friendly still due to the nature of the forum.
* Must be breedable wyrms
* One ship per fic

Addendum to the rules.

*Going to keep it to PG13 for this. I know, I know, shippingz, but......we don't need juicy details. Besides we have not posted canon how Wyrm anatomy "down there" actually even WORKS, sooo.....keep it non R rated. Do a tasteful fade to black.

*Breedable Wyrms only. No Zombies, no mules, no Big Q suddenly laying an egg. Keep it canon as far as who can actually make babies.

*You have until Feb 1st. The winner will be announced on Feb 14th, appropriately enough, and sculpted by D, live, during Homecon.

*Teacup baby will be at no cost to you aside from shipping cost. (Ha.....I mean actual postal shipping cost. Silly)

*Play nice with each other.

*No getting offended if you don't win, or sour grapes to the one who does. This is supposed to be a fun, friendly contest, not a bloodbath. Judging will be highly subjective, and be based on many different factors.

*if you can come up with a pairing thats incredibly creative, crazy or just makes me go OMFG I want to sculpt that!!!! AND your fic is well written, and an enjoyable read, then free to disregard rule addendum number 2 completely.

*Fic length should be a minimum of 1 page, and a max of 101. (Hey, I like to read!!)

*Spellcheck is your FRIEND. Poor grammar, or spelling that makes your story completely unintelligible, will disqualify you. If I can't read/understand it, I can't judge it.

*Use of canon CDF terminology or information is worth brownie points. Show me you've been paying attention, and I'll be impressed.

*if you have a question about a particular Type or Breed's courtship displays, mating rituals, or habits, feel free to ask here. I'll answer as best I can, as time permits.

*courtesy is expected of all writers.......please at least contact the owners of the Wyrms involved in the fic and make sure they don't have any huge objection. Same goes for the Wyrm owners.....don't take this TOO seriously, it's meant to be a fun, silly contest.


Aaaaand thats it. Go forth, my doves, and write all the shippings. Most important....have FUN!! ;3

Question: Does the wyrm have to *still* have breedings?

Celestine8 wrote:Question: Does the wyrm have to *still* have breedings? And yeah, fill me in on some tatterwing and qui lin details, if you please.

It doesnt have to have breedings left

what details do you need?

Zhong Long think Asian culture, flowers, jewels, pretty things
Tatterwings are dark fairies, they like bones, dead things

D, I'd like to know more about canine wyrms and bloodwing wyrms, where might I find out about their food sources, habitat preferences, mating displays and such? Mainly I plan to do Freki the wolf canine wyrm and Lilith the bloodwing. I have an idea, but I need a little more info to make it work how I want.

Can we also have in the fic about egg/s and a possible hatching? ( I want to be cruel and do a cliffhanger of a hatching bloodwolf egg. XD )

I know it might be silly, but I see wyrms in the act of mating to be like an actual worm where they have a 'cast' of hardened mucus crust around a certain section between body and tail, so they're stuck together for a period of time. It's what sticks in my mind the most.

I sort of wanted to use Ran at first, then I read her profile and like Big Q, she can only bless, not have babies. ( She and Big Q would make something completely wicked together, but yeah. -is a good creature and stays with rules- )

Edit: I know, I need their respective permissions. Working on it.I just realize it sounds like I don't care. >_<'

This is such a great idea for a contest!

Do we have to just write one? I wouldn't mind writing one that was more sweet and serious and another that was just... out there.

Also, the mating and social habits of tarnished teslas

Celestine...you can write as many as you please, but can only ENTER one fic for consideration in the contest, so you'd have to chose what you think is your best.
Teslas in general love all things technological, be it old tech or new shiny toys. Tarnished have a particular love for the older stuff, and actually have quite a bit in common with the Scrap Metal breed. They love to scrounge and salvage, and take great pride in 'rescuing' damaged items to repair or create new things. Tarnished also have a unique ability that makes them particularly valuable to their handlers....they can remove rust and tarnish from metallic items, simply by licking them. Their abrasive tongues scour any dirty or rusted metal, and for some unknown reason their saliva acts almost like metal polish. I've yet to see a metal they can't clean to look like new. As near as I can tell, its a favorite snack, and helps them maintain a glossy, inky black coat of fur. I know Umbra's fur starts to look a tad washed out and paler black if I don't let her rummage around in the recycling bin every now and again. Obviously, they highly value antique toys or items that have gone 'unloved' by its original owner, and such things are common courtship gifts.
Now that I think about it, that might be why Umbra spends so much time in the basement with my husband's boxes of childhood jun....err.......stuff.



Aching,
There's nothing written, not publicly anyway, but I can give you some basic details to go on.

Mucus, notsomuch. :p The thing to remember is Wyrms are, from a canon standpoint, not so much animals/beasts, as they are ethereal beings made flesh and fur. The idea behind them is that Wyrms are, quite literally, nature spirits made solid. The very basic answer is most Wyrms will take traits and habits from their environment. It's why Infected are so horrid.....they are Wyrms hat have been tainted and warped by pollution or harm to their home. Think of them a bit like a classic Dryad.....whos health and well being is ties to their tree. Wyrms clearly have the ability to roam and range far away from their original hatching place, but will almost always be drawn to reside someplace that reminds them of home. Hence,Mountain Wyrms tend to prefer rocky or sandy places, with little caves or burrows to hide in....Forest Wyrms like trees and green and nature....Domestic Canines are at home pretty much wherever 'Their Human' is, and are generally well tempered and easy to please, whereas the Wild Canines vary widely depending on their specific breed. Wolves are definitely pack animals, so there's that to consider.

Bloodwings are........difficult to describe.
The best I can offer is they are the darkest of the known Fairy Wyrms, and hands down, the most dangerous. They literally EAT magic/energy, (in addition to any and all meat they can get their teeth into) and thus if given half an opportunity drain their fellow fae Wyrms of magic before consuming their wings. When a fairy Wyrm is drained of their magic, and their wings are removed, they simply fade from the physical plain and become little more than ghostlike whisps of their previous self. Sometimes they fade entirely, as of they never existed. Its one of the things that makes Bloodwings so terribly dangerous, as they are THE only Wyrm breed known to feed in such a manner. Wyrms are normally eternal, so long as they can 'recharge' by being in or around nature for periods at a time. But a Wyrm who's magic or essence is devoured by a Bloodwing may as well have died, as none have ever been known to regain enough energy to reform their physical 'shell'. (Those cute, fluffy bodies we all know and love to cuddle)

Their courtship displays typically involve offerings of their favorite food (see above), and they prefer such food alive and wriggling. The one time we hatched the blood eggs on the farm, the rookery building next to the shed was filled with young Wyrms and nesting mothers. I was checking on everyone and doing my last rounds for the night, and could instantly tell the first Blood egg had hatched. The rookery was filled with terrified Wyrms, who could smell the newcomer in the next building, and it almost seemed as though the baby Bloodwing was feeding off their fear, even separated from the general populace. To this end they make me think a bit of the old legends of will I wisps, who would lead travelers into swamps to drown, and feed off their last moments of terror.

We have since built a nesting area for the few Bloodwings we kept, on the very edge of the Farm property. It is ringed with a cold iron fence, and is protected by numerous wards. We usually draw straws to see who's turn it is to go feed them. :/

The most important thing to remember is ALWAYS carry something cold iron on you if handling or interacting with them. And know that no Fairy Wyrm is safe. The Bloods are tenacious in their desire for magic. They are also coldly calculating, and wickedly intelligent. Clutchmates are completely unknown, as the first that hatches ALWAYS consumes the slower, 'weaker' sibling.
