It kinda makes me think of The Sims.
But with those text boxes, maybe it's a spinoff?
Soooo... Sims Online?

Time Paradox! I knew it seemed familiar but it wasn't until I saw those legs that it clicked

That's it. Your turn Josiah.

Be honest ~ you guys also miss the days of pixelated sexuality!

I'm not a guy.

I feel the cut on that dress could have used one more red pixel. Is she flashing that demon?!

Lol, it's just your dirty mind.

It's supposed to have a white frill-trim thing - same as along the bottom of her dress.

Sorry for the delay guys, I've been really busy.

My Thoughts:

Hard Bargain by Wham
Poor Ferrungis, I kinda feel sorry for him. The mighty dragon, reduced to obeying laws, worrying about fines, and being tormented by everyone. And the resentment is just bubbling under the surface.
I love your descriptions - I could really imagine myself walking down that road with Ferrungis (although he would probably hate that, lol), and in the market with Mabel. A brilliant entry!

Dragons by Wiggy
It's nice to see a bit of poetry, since it stands out from the other stories. And kudos to you for writing about something that's obviously personal to you (flying jets). However, I found mixing dragons with planes rather confusing. Yes, I know they both fly, but I still found it rather odd. Brilliant effort, though.

Dragon's Guardian by Sinitrena
Wow! Just Wow! This is an amazing story! I love how you convey what the dragons are feeling, especially Chradragshza. And I love the relationship between Chradragshza and the Guardian. Layim, who started out as the nasty thief, ended up risking his life to safe the baby dragon. Whether that's down to the dragon's magic, or Layim gradually understanding the dragons, I don't know. But I love how he develops over the story. I got so involved with the story, and really felt little Fschvuch's pain.
You say you shortened the story? I'd love to see the full version sometime.

Green And Me by Durinde
Genetically engineered pet dragons is an interesting idea, and I love how 'Green' snuggles up on the bed with Alec every morning, just like a pet cat. But then the story shifts focus, and becomes a story about a maintenance worker in a park. The dragon aspect of it seems forgotten. Sorry Durinde.

Quest For Concord by Baron
I get the sense that this story takes place in the far-distant future, in a world devastated by war. The 2 women are searching for the ancient dragons, in order to save the human race. The dragon comes across as really powerful and knowledgabe, which I love. But then the story seems to end kinda suddenly. It seems like it could be fleshed out more. Is the dragon going to give the orb to Debbie, then leave her to it? Is he going to become her 'guide', and help her save the world?

- BEST CHARACTER: Layim by Sinitrena. I love how he changed from only wanting to steal the dragon egg, to wanting to help the dragons.

- BEST WRITING: Hard Bargain by Wham. I could really picture myself in that world, with Ferrungis.

- BEST STORY: Again, Dragon's Guardian by Sinitrina. Fantastic story of man and dragon co-existing.

- BEST ATMOSPHERE: Dragon's Guardian by Sinitrena. You really pulled me in, and tugged at my heart-strings.

- BEST DRAGON: Hmmm, a hard choice for me. Ferrungis or Chradragshza? Both are brilliant dragons, in completely different ways. But I'll go with Chradragshza. Such a powerful beast, yet so gentle with her guardian.

************************************************************

So by my count, the final votes are:

First Prize, with the Golden Dragon, goes to Sinitrena, with a very impressive 12 votes.

Second Prize, with the Silver Dragon, going to Wham, with 7 votes.

Third Prize, with the Pink Dragon, going to Baron, with 6 votes.

Thanks again to everyone who participated.
Over to you, Sinitrina.

I will go with Frankenstein Created Woman

That's the one!

If you like horror films, you NEED to watch this!

The man from my first image, that some of you thought was Michael York - here's his face. He's Robert Morris. The woman is Susan Denburg.
And the gloved man in the box (2nd image) is the one and only Peter Cushing.
