Bios and Clan page. I like how creative people get with the coding around their stories and I feel it adds some visuals that would otherwise not be possible in offsite mediums (that weren't illustrated). Although I personally use docs site to write my lore or just Word on my laptop. My eyes glaze over when I see a wall of text page after page, on a screen.

Definitely bios. Rarely ever in forum threads compiled for lore.

dragon or clan bios, MAYBE in a thread. going offsite is too much of a hassle, I've barely seen any offsite lore though haha
also I've never seen any comics but omg I kind of want to start doing that now... I'm running out of dragons to turn into gijinkas haha
I've seen people do directories on Creative Corner with lore entries and links to dragons in different parts of their lair. IMO, makes it a lot easier to go through particular stuff without having to keep clicking through a bunch of dragons' bios.

Dragon bios. Very rarely forum threads. Forums are great for organizing your own lore/thoughts/stories (hence why I have one for my own lore even), but there's usually *so much* content there that it is often overwhelming to read as a stranger going through someone's random lore. It has to be very captivating in order to suck me into a forum.
Also I would love to stumble across lore comics! I never have! I would definitely get sucked into that without a doubt.

I always like reading in their threads they make for 'em in the forums, though reading the bios are really fun too!
(guh I need to add more to mine -_-)

Dragon bios mostly but I love a lore forum thread if I come across one. I've never seen a lore comic but now I really wish I have

Clan page and bios for sure. I used to have a forum thread for mine but then I realized it's just easier for me to keep track of it all when it's in bios.

Dragon bios. Most dragon bios I've seen are informative and interesting, in an easy-to-digest size. I feel like forums are much better for longform clan lore, and I typically skim over that if I read it at all.
[quote name="Achaius" date="2024-03-18 11:41:08" ]also, slightly off topic, but to anyone who has a bunch of bullet points in a dragon's bio and lowkey feels bad that it's not written out in longform: pls do not feel bad. I love bullet points. I am actually more likely to read and enjoy bullet points when goldfish mode kicks in which is a lot of the time
- anime protag energy
- no inside voice
- mismatched sock collection
- ate cooper's (clearly labeled) sandwich and now they are mortal enemies

I have a ton of dragons I want to give lore to, and this encouragement is great. I've got to remember that bullet points and single-paragraph bios are OK, especially if I don't have many ideas for a dragon or they're sort of a side character rather than one who gets a lot of focus.
