(( LESS THAN A DAY had a solid 30 people who've stated interest in this. Holy flying ketchup in a frying pan, Batman. @_@
Apologies if this is slow getting started, I wasn't prepared for this to have gotten so much support in such a short time, and RL is kind of hammering me right now. ))
Someone else posted an idea about having a "parasite" dragon to spread across the site ( http://flightrising.com/main.php?board=frd&id=975754&p=mb ) and I found the idea intriguing, and it got me wondering: What other user-run events could we invent to add some more fun to our FR experience?
Then I remembered stories about this little paper cut-out doll known as Flat Stanley (thanks for the name @GladeSong for reminding me of his name!) that was often sent home with school children so he could take pictures at different places like a parents' workplace or whatnot. I even had a younger cousin that got to do it back when I was still in school and I got to help with the project, and it was a lot of fun The stories were always written out as if he had traveled from place to place. So I was thinking...
Would anyone else have fun with a "traveling dragon" that we could send from person to person, back and forth between Flights and all, with everyone making up a story about what he or she did while they were there? Like, from hunting to crafting to cooking to an actual mini-adventure. Simple things or elaborate, and it could have stories or even pictures, screenshots of outfits the dragon is put it, anything to add to the chronicle. And we could post them all in one place for everyone to read.
I -am- going to make a central thread to post all of the stories and things in, and I think keep this thread on the side for people to sign-up in or for us to otherwise discuss things about the dragon(s) involved. We'll put links in the description to both threads, and then the participants can put short "when and where" type blurbs underneath that as sort of a "journal" for the dragon to carry around, with the full story and information being safe in the thread just in case something happens to the dragon's profile.
Who-ever had the dragon would be free to have a breeding with them before they sent them on, if they wanted. Or they could just send them on when they were done with their entry, it's entirely up to you guys if you want to or not!
I am accepting offers for dragons to start the project with, one of each gender, and one will be Guardian. The other isn't yet decided, or which one will be which gender!
If you are interested, read over the thoughts and questions box and add your input? Everyone's ideas are helping!

Current Thoughts and Questions wrote:
1) Making one Male and one Female!
So @Finnley offered this first-gen guardian boy to be our Traveler (I'll be naming him after he's sent over), and isn't he pretty? @Snowcat offered a lovely first-gen guardian too, but I've got a horrible soft spot for jade, and it's more or less in the middle of the color wheel so I figured it would give a wider range of breeding possibilities for those interested in having one with him when he visits them. :)
And @InkyPetrel offered this adorable lady bumble-snapper, who will be named Wanderer, that shall be the second dragon for the project. She's so cute, and I figured we could have some fun with the waking-dream snapper lore on her journey for those with a desire to do more detailed writing for their entries. :3 Gonna have fun making her starting story with it, at least~
2) Dragons may be kept for a breeding cycle so current holder can have a breeding if desired. This is optional. You can feel free to send them on before that if you'd like. :3
3) Keeping a journal of sorts in their personal information boxes seems popular. I'm going to have the separate thread for full chronicle information, but does anyone have suggestions on a format for the dragon's profile "diary", or actual thread entries?
4) I'm going to go ahead and post the main thread in the Forum Games, since that seems like the most appropriate place for what we're doing. I'll go ahead and leave the discussion thread in here, though, for sign-ups and questions and what not.
