TOPIC | [CLOSED] Lore Building: Bio Blitz!
[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/olOAkHL.png[/img][/center] [b]Join in at any point in the week and catch-up if you get behind![/b] Time for more lore building fun with a twist this week! We're going to be doing a bio blitz! It'll be a fun, fast-paced way to add lore to your dragons with a blank bio. If you are completing the tasks during the week of Ice's dominance push, you will have a chance to win prizes! [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/yK0Yfvk.png[/img][/center] Birdwatching in the Southern Icefields can be rather exciting, despite the wintery landscape! You'll likely see a common Black Capped Chickadee, a Flecked Bushrunner, or a Blue-Throated Hummingbird. On the (unfrozen) water, we have Drifting Ducks and Brent Geese. Maybe you'll even spot a rarer Black Capped Budgie or Mute Swan. To join in the fun this week, some bird familiars will be delivering your Bio Blitz prompts and join the prize bank! Read ahead to find out more about this week's Lore Building event!

"Welcome - are you here for this week's lore building event? Since everyone is out birdwatching this week, we have some delivery birds who will deliver your daily prompts. If you are already on the notification / ping list, you're covered! Otherwise, you can stop by here daily and check the bulletin board for the prompts." "Also, we're going things a little differently this time. Our clan has noticed that a lot of dragons participating in our lore building may already have familiars or scenes or outfits, so we're focusing on adding small blurbs to bios this week to build more background for your clan's dragons. Don't worry, the other format will come back in the future, but we're giving this a try to see how it might fit into a rotation of events." "Well, that covers it for now. Official rules are posted for you to review, but don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. AND DON'T FORGET: it's very important to submit an form for each theme you post in order for your entry to count for our raffle. And good luck with the birdwatching!"

pro tips:
- if you add a message to a CR then decline it, the person who you're trading with CAN'T see the message - editing a post DOES NOT re-ping any pings in the post. you have to remove the pings, submit, then add them back in.
