1) Do you coli grind? If so what's, your favorite venue? If not, why?
I used to do lots when I was into Dom and leading the Wind Flight and the Dom Guilds, but once I retired, I decided to start working on getting my dragons all up to at least level 10. Kelp Beds is my groove as I don’t die so fast. But really I just coli for points and getting more food.
2) How many dragons have you exalted? (For anyone who may not know, you can check under account settings!)
3212.
3) Are you active in your flight's dominance scene? What kind of activities do you like participating in?
I used to be heavily into Dom. Created the Wind Flight Dom Guilds. Lead the Minions Guild. Took over as Wind Flight Dom lead and created the Wind Flight Dom Council. Battle of the Bay all started because of my dragon Siltaria. We had all sorts of fun and shenanigans for many Wind Flight parties, er, battles. These days I am much more casual. I help out the Windsinger Wednesday program by handling their main posts and the spreadsheets used. That’s where you play in the Fairgrounds and donate your earnings to the Flight for prizes.
4) If you could pick the April Fool's joke one year what would it be? What items would you add?
Switch Dragons and Familiars and create hats for the Familiars. :-)
5) If you could add any color what would it be? What would the accent colors be?
All shades of Purple. I am a priestess of the Cult of Purple and Teal. It’s a minipainting thing. The only accent is Teal, all the shades of Teal.
6) Do you have any OC dragons? Have any of your dragons wound up turning into an OC?
I am old and as I understand it, no, none of mine are really OC, despite being a fiction writer. I do have Luke and Leia, but there is a very important missing sibling between them and their numbers. Luke and Leai were really triplets and I need to write more about that. Did I understand that OC thing right?
7) Do you have art on any of your dragons? If so, who has the most?
Art everywhere. As to who has the most….that is hard! Probably a gift from a friend, she came with the art!
8) If FR sold official snacks as merch what kind of snacks would you want?
Bubbly Pies! It’s a Pern thing. Crunch Bars. Chocolate Truffles in the shapes of Windsinger.
9) What's your favorite site event? (Elemental holidays, micro holidays, NotN, ect.)
Mistral Jamboree. Is there anything else?
10) Which of your dragons can out-cook Gordon Ramsay? Which one is burning water?
Pearlie can out-cook Ramsay. She is an awesome chef!
Burning water? Hmmmm. Magus. Nothing he cooks up, in lab or kitchen, ever turns out right.
11) If you could have any familiar as a pet which one would you choose and why?
SKYCAT. I missed having a skycat when FR first started, by less than 10 minutes. My daughter got one, and no, she is not giving it up. It flies, it’s a cat, and it is cool.
12) What's your personal playstyle? (Casual, coli fiend, auction house master, ect.)
Casual these days with a side of bio coding obsession and plodding through my hatchery once in awhile, and stalking Special IDs that involve the number three. Because 3 is a magic number.
13) Which of your dragons is the most special to you? Why?
I have many dragons and it is a difficult decision. I will say Lyric, but others are up there too! I love doing poetry and when we needed dom songs or Wind songs, Lyric came to the rescue and took the stage in Wind Flight with his music!
14) If you had to change the name of the site what would you change it to and why?
Flight Rising seems just fine to me. I think it is a nice name that does not intersect with other copyright realms.
15) If you could make any scene what are you making and why?
Writer’s Desk. A beautifully carved wood desk, lovely desk lamp, a mug of pens and pencils, notebooks and notes everywhere, laptop and mouse. Timelines and maps on the walls, and the dragon completely ignoring whatever excitement is going on outside the window.
16) There is now furniture apparel, what furniture are you putting on your dragons?
Lounging couches. Purple ones.
17) You get to rename one color, which are you renaming and to what?
Ugh. Dirt and Soil. I mean they mean the same thing. So Dirt looks fine, but Soil looks more dry, so why not call it something more befitting like Dry Soil?
18) Do your dragons have any specific jobs in your clan? (Gladiator, librarian, artist, ect.)
I have lots! Guards, Merchants, Trainers, Cooks, Artists, so so many! For instance, Melemai runs the beauty shop.
19) What's your 'we don't talk about this one' dragon?
Probably Pixel. I have had him for a very long time and still no idea what to do for his bio and place in the lair. He is a bit bright and flashy and a goofball. Well loved though!
20) If you could have a statue of any one of your dragons which would it be and why?
All of them. I am a minipainter. I have a ton of minis because I like them all. Don’t look in the closet, let me just take this pile down to the basement.
21) Have you ever done any crafts related to FR? If you have, what'd ya make? If you haven't, would you ever want to?
In the past I have loved doing the coloring contests for MistJam.
But mostly I mentioned that I paint minis. I am known for my dragons. So technically isn’t that a craft involved in FR? Lol, I sometimes check colors on here.
22) If you could make a board or card game based on FR what would it look like? How would you play it? Dragon The Gathering? No no, we need an RPG! The GM guides the players through Dom battles and hunting parties and other travels around Sorneith.
23) Do you use any silly names for the breeds? (Tunga instead of Tundra, Snip-Snap for Snappers, ect.)
I do not. Hmmm, not sure why.
24) What's that one dragon that you aren't quite sure how they wound up in your lair yet somehow managed to stay?
…Did I mention Pixel back up there?
25) Which dragon is next for a turn on the xbox?
VelvetWind. She is my lead gamer dragon!
26) Which of your dragons would walk around in bunny slippers and a fluffy robe?
Dr. Lollipop.
27) FR releases a comic book, what would you want it to be about?
The dragon gods of Sorneith! What did WIndsinger do at the Observatory to **** off his sister? What was the discussion between Tidelord and Windsinger during Battle of the Bay?
28) Have you ever met anyone super awesome on FR? Tell me about them!
Yes. So many I cannot name them all and it would shame me to forget anyone. We are talking 100s. It is the best part of being on FR, finding those special folks who help you out in a crisis, who help you create and build something awesome, who stay up past midnight with you to check your code before a Dom post. Who teach you how to do something and do it better than you could dream. Who just have a good time with you and everyone else in the game. Who create such wonderful art! How could I name them all?
29) Our standard closer that isn't a question but I include it anyway. Tell me three positive things! It can be about your life, FR, or just in general!
First, my cold is nearly gone. I survived. Second, I found a player willing to let me have a hatchling from their Aether Windsinger pair. I will soon have Aether Windsongs in my Hatchery. Third, although I have been sick and fallen behind on writing book 3 of the Harrogate Chronicles, Aztalan’s Idol, the book is almost done because my coauthor just about finished her half!
30) Ask me a question please I'm bored. It can be a question from the questionnaire or just any question you can think of!
Why have you stayed with Flight Rising? What makes you happy about being here?
