Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another rendition of Write, Dress, Win! Last time, I gave away 2000g to help complete any Veilspun project that entrants would like. This time, I'm giving away two G5 Naomi/Ignis descendants that were hatched on NEW YEAR'S DAY!
Don't know the drill already? It's simple. First, you will submit a scry where you dress the dragon of your choice, and change its genes if you feel like it. Then, you will write me some lore about that dragon. Finally, I'll pick the best set of lore and dress combined for each dragon, and send the dragons to that person! Second and third place for each dragon get to pick any non-G1, non-special-eyed dragon from my For Sale tab for free.
Now, onto this year's special prizes:
(They're in a nest rental Lair right now, but they'll be back home in a sec! The parents are in my lair now, though, which you can see by clicking on their names.)
Don't see what you like in this thread, but still want a freebie? Check out @Mir's affiliate lore contest for G4 Naomis from the same lineage here!
Some additional rules that you should keep in mind:
As for my lore and scry tastes and preferences:

Some additional rules that you should keep in mind:
- Please do not join if you already have a Naomi/Ignis of G5 or lower from this exact lineage. This is so I can spread the lineage love!
- Each piece of lore must be a minimum of 250 words and a maximum of 750 words.
- The contest is limited to the first 20 people who submit completed entries.
- Fancy formatting the lore and drawing art will not be taken into account. I am not that great of an artist and I don’t know how to judge art pieces. Moreover I want to give a chance to people who might not know how to code or draw. This will be a contest of writing and scrying skill.
- Proper grammar is a must. I won’t judge for a few mistakes here or there--you would still have the same chance of winning. But if your entry is just obvious errors top to bottom, I will disqualify it.
- You don't have to use the lore as part of the dragon's lore after receiving the gems! Just write a nice story.
- The current contest will be over by Monday, February 1, 11:59 PM FR time (PST). Saturday is my day off for this season of my job, so I will do the judging on the Saturday immediately following the due date.
- If you don't win, or if you don't want to participate this time, ask to be added to the pinglist for another opportunity--this is a recurring thing!
As for my lore and scry tastes and preferences:
- I would vastly prefer if you incorporated the lore of the mother, Yalsehelepthah, and possibly also the grandparents, Adam and Evike. The TL;DR of Yal's lore is that she's a dark prophet, the Shadesinger, someone deeply in touch with forbidden magics who insists that there's no such thing as good and evil and any perception of such is a delusion; she believes her reality-bending powers can prove that. You can read her full lore here, in her bio. As for Adam and Evike's lore, click here for Mir's summary!
- I will prioritize lore over scries. For example, I will pick an entry with amazing lore but an OK scry over an entry with an amazing scry but bad lore.
- As far as lore goes--I love vivid imagery and a good bit of dialogue, but most of all, I love stories that break conventions. If a ton of people all have the same or similar ideas but yours does not, that will immediately catch my eye. Alternately, you could stick to a certain trope, but do it better than anything I’ve seen. Get creative!
- I prefer accents to skins. Overall with skins and apparel, I like those that accent the dragon and enhance its existing genes rather than completely covering it in apparel or a fancy design. You can go to my showcase if you want some examples.
