“Have no fear.” An creepy Nocturne dragon glides out of a nearby tree. He speaks to you in a bone-chilling voice.“The spirits are out tonight, but you needn’t worry. Most of them are friendly and those that aren’t won’t bother you since you’re wearing a costume. Feel free to join the festivities.

Note to host: if i save enough treasure she will have Haunted Candles added to her apparel... but only if I save enough. So either she will have those within the deadline or will stay as is.

I think I'd like to enter this... but I'm confused about a part of the Entry form.
What does this mean?
Dragon’s Image: bbcode link from an image hosting site such as imgur or photobucket.
Non-image link to your dragon.
Are we not meant to use the BBCodes provided here on this site? Do we have to register an account on a image hosting site to participate? Are we only meant to link you to our dragon, but not show them?
Sorry it's just really confusing.
