With the hatching completed, I'd like some feedback on it from you guys. Please just reply to this thread with your answers, comments, questions and so on! I'm not guaranteeing that anything will change in the future, but I'd like to know of anything that I might be able to incorporate. - Is everyone happy? - What do you think about the way in which I ran the hatching? I was aiming for surprise, so that you'd log on to find that you'd impressed, and I didn't want it to be a massive thread that would drag on forever and ever. Was it successful? - Is there anything you would have added? Taken away? - What do you all think of the names, and the fact that the hatchlings each come with a bit of information about them? (name theme, size, colour, etc). - Would you like to see more information for dragons that impress, such as possible personality? - Anything else you'd like to add?

1. Yuss. The Dev is very happy with her Cupith
2. I really like the way you ran the hatching. Short, clear and to the point. Very fun, very easy.
3. Nupe, not really.
4. I like the fact the hatchlings come with all that info. It means that the hatchlings aren't named by the giant monster spagetti god, which is always comforting.
5. A sort of personality guideline is helpful, because it tells you what your dragon could be like, and it gives a guideline, other than rank to help you see what best fits your character.
Aaaand thats all folks!

1. Very happy. 2. You did well, if surprise was your goal. I agree with Dev. You ran the Hatchling beautifully. 3. Nope. 4. I, too, like the fact the hatchlings are already named and come with their own info. It doesn't leave the name up to someone who can't come up with a name to save their life, so they pick the worse name possible and regret it later and try to change it. (*is guilty*) 5. Again, I agree with Dev. A short personality would be nice, a sort of guildline to how the dragonet could be. 6. I wouldn't add a thing!!! [/sup]

1. Very happy with my boy 2. I think it worked. I'm not sure whether I prefer that way or the piecemeal approach...but I see no reason to change it. 3. Nah. 4. I like the information you give already. 5. Definitely, if you have time. I put Muzith's together from the Impression post, but a little more would be nice. 6. No.

1. I am pleased with both of mine 2. You succeeded with the surprise thing as I did go 'oooohh!' When I saw my name changed. I liked it. 3. I think that it may have taken some of the suspense about whether you're going to impress or not away but then again they take a while and you end up running out of things to say for your character. Pros and cons! But your way was good, and different too. 4. Tis good indeed. I think we should have a theme for every hatching as that would be pretty Ace. 5. It would be good to have a vague idea of how they would act. I only know with Antheiath because of that brief bit about her in the hatching but I'm not so sure with Dzilyath and will just have to rely on my previous knowledge of Greens =) 6. Huzzah for hatchings?

- Is everyone happy? It was all right - What do you think about the way in which I ran the hatching? I was aiming for surprise, so that you'd log on to find that you'd impressed, and I didn't want it to be a massive thread that would drag on forever and ever. Was it successful? Did well though I think it would have been better had you let it go on a bit - Is there anything you would have added? Taken away? Not really - What do you all think of the names, and the fact that the hatchlings each come with a bit of information about them? (name theme, size, colour, etc). It was cool - Would you like to see more information for dragons that impress, such as possible personality? A PM to those who impressed would have helped so that they knew what had happened - Anything else you'd like to add? Not really other than K'nor has his hands full.

1. Heck yes. I loveth my browns. -covets- 2. I definitely like that. I hate it when Hatchings go on for months at a time, and by the time it's over people who Impressed at the beginning are bored out of their minds. 3. Not really. 4. Name theme is a DEFINITE plus. Others are just plain plusses. Actually, skip that. Definite plus. 5. Mostly personality, otherwise the dragons end up being nearly identical to their riders. And perhaps info about what they'll be good at when it comes to fighting Thread, such as speed or sustaining a flame, etc. 6. Romeoth amuses me to no end. XD

1. Sparrow is very happy! 2. I liked it, it went a lot faster than hatchings I've been through before and you can't really get left behind (happens to me all the time and I hate it x.x). Yush, very nice. 3. Nope! 4. I loved the name theme. x3 Romeoth, oh my gosh, I'm going to be entertained by that for the rest of my life... I liked that they all came with info too, although I don't really get the size... 12? 12 what? 5. A very short hinting at what their personality is would be nice, but I really like coming up with personalities of my own and not having a lot of guidelines on how my dragon should be acting. So a few words, maybe 'bold, hyper, and agressive' or something like that... not sentences or long descriptions of how the dragon would act in different situations or just overall. Hintings leave a lot of room for creativity. 6. Like I said, Romeoth... XDDDD Just finished reading Romeo and Juliet and now I'm wondering if the dragon is going to be suicidal. There were loads of times when he would threaten to kill himself and people were like 'what the heck, you're acting like a girrrrrrl xp' XD And then he did kill himself. Poor rider of Romeoth... xP That's one of the dragons that could use a personality like 'suicidal when something bad happens, charming, and daring, but acts womanlike(not to be insultive but you know... in Shakespeare's times that was bad) when infatuated by something' x3

o.o A'tair should hope Romeoth doesn't go all suicidal on him. Though it's kinda funny, because A'tair and Corenne were based (very, very vaguely) on Romeo and Juliet. Weird.

- NO! D< ... I'm joking, I'm very happy. :3 - Loved it, made it so easy to actually have a hatching and impress, without dragging it on forever. - Not really. :3 - Having info about them was pure bliss, and the names fit with the theme, which was awesome. - Sure, that would be very helpful. - We love you, Pi. :3

- Yes! Very happy. - I absolutely loved the way the Hatching was run. I am so sick of seven page Hatchings that last a month. And since I knew that the Hatching was going to be posted on a certain day, I was sitting in class not able to concentrate because I knew there might be an Impression waiting when I got back to my room. xD It was fun. Just don't tell my professor about that. -Nope, not really. -The name theme is great, and I also like that all of the names were easy to remember and pronounce, not like Asfhghthkmehth or something. o.O -I think it would be nice to have a little bit of personality, but not so much that there isn't flexibility. -forty two.

- I dunno, is everyone happy? I am! - I like that it wasn't a 7 page thread that dragged on forever (like Midnight said), but I would rather have had the Impressions spaced out a little more, so some of us could wait suspensefull while others wrote their Impression posts. - Eh, besides above, not really. <3 - I loved the theme, and the names. Some of the names were creative but true (Lupercaliath and Brangwainth for example.) Those names are weird, but will be fun to role play. - I would like a little bit of personality, maybe a sentence or two about the default personality of the dragon. I don't want to go blind with a dragon you made to be shy and I make it brave or whatnot. - I like cheese?
