Unless I keep that thread going forever, people won't see those writeups on [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2979998/9#post_46675804]funerary practices[/url] or [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2979998/9#post_46676027]flower language[/url]. How do we fix that? Easy: crosslinking! Ever spend a bunch of time on the SCP wiki, or TVTropes, or Wikipedia? That's the power of links. In theory, the more ways to reach your lore, the easier it is to find. If we work together, we can help one another (and ourselves!) make our lore visible. We have an amazing tool in the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2927810]Lorebook Wiki[/url], but on-FR links are great, too. I [i]love[/i] browsing lore, so I'm [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/3011010]rewarding folks for linking to one another.[/url] This "event" includes ANYTHING related to Nature. Dragon visited the Labyrinth once? Your clan's growing crops sourced from a druid? Go for it! We just need [i]some[/i] throughline to knit things together, especially while I play solo matchmaker. But with some more volunteers...[/size][/columns] [columns][size=4] [size=5][b]How[/b][/size] 1. If you have anything that works as a "link hub", ping me ASAP. Examples in the third post, but: threads, wiki pages, Google docs, etc. designed to be linked to and from. Other resources are welcome, too! 2. If you have any lore/headcanons to share, please post them! If you want to make them discoverable outside the thread, help others link to you using [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/3010932/1#post_47631298]the form[/url], link to others who've posted on the thread ([i]ping them and they may link back![/i]), or link yourself directly to [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/3010932/1#post_47630537]a hub[/url]. Use the [url=https://discord.gg/pJPuVF5A]discord[/url] for easier matchups. This is also a great chance to develop your lore, fleshing your clan out with friends, locations, and "incidents"! 3. Once you've done a crosslink, make sure you stop by the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/3011010/1#post_47632572]raffle[/url] and claim some free tickets! 4.

This event could be a great opportunity to develop your lore, or write new stuff. Maybe you see a headcanon here that you like, or a faction you'd want to join? If you wait until your lore is perfect...well, take it from me, no lore's [i]ever[/i] perfect. So please consider joining in! We've even got resources [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3011135]dedicated to new lore![/url] <3

Seriously, don't use this one flippantly, and definitely don't use it for clan lore, you want to maintain claim on that. Either adding it to the wiki yourself or just not having it added are normally preferable. [/quote]

Doing this as an example to help in case folks're nervous.

@GetJazzyOnIt Oh my gosh, what beautiful babies! I adore Ask especially, such an elegant take on Earth and healing.

Just FYI, I edited it to be more clear, but the "Matchmake" thing is just whether you're ok with me pinging you if I see someone whose lore seems to match what you're after and vice-versa. So in this case, if someone posted their own rehabilitation clan, or maybe a dragon with an old injury, I'd ping you both. There's no actual obligation to link after that. Does that alter your answer at all (no worries if no, I just realized how unclear my wording was)?

@Oranitha
Thanks, Ask was a lucky find two days from being exalted from a rescue hatchery.
Yes, thank you.
I get it now. Match making is fine by me :)
