• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Types Advantages and Disadvantages

    Bug > Dark might also be because we perceive that bugs are crawling around in the dark. I.e. they aren't "affected" by lack of light.

    Question-Making a site

    If you want to make a layout, you can hire someone, but generally speaking they're too expensive and honestly a lot of them aren't even that good, and are mostly used for setting up databases and such. If you really don't want to feel like making one right away, you could take a premade from...

    NaNoWriMo 2008

    You don't really need to know what you're going to write. I'd suggest first writing down a list of some books that you like - what you like about them, and then probably get some character names and a couple of traits for them. Really that's all you need, and maybe a general direction. I started...

    Chapters

    Really, I think published fiction can have shorter chapters because you have the thing in front of you. Generally speaking, fanfiction is serialized, a bit coming out at a time, and so that chapter should be longer than a published piece. Usually. And the only reason Tolkien has such long...

    Fantasy

    Do you really need a language of power, really? Its not necessary, and you need to do it well to make it worthwhile, and even then I don't think its worth it.

    Your Political Viewpoint

    I'm a (slightly left-leaning) libertarian. People should have individual liberties - life, property, freedom of speech, freedom of press. They should be able to say what they want regardless of being pro-government or anti-goverment. The government has no say in what goes into or comes out of...

    What really makes you mad about Pokemon?

    Seeing the anime, and then reading the manga. And imagining what would have happened if the anime had been based off the manga. But in the manga (at least Special), you have death. You have sweet scientific experiments. You have epic battles, you basically have a black and white version of the...

    Two Helpful Links

    The seconds links suggestions could be used in moderation. A better option would be checking out a book from your library called "101 Rules of Writing", which is very good. (The 102nd being "break the rules as you see fit").

    NaNoWriMo 2008

    I did NaNo in August (AugNoWriMo) and it was a sweet little community. And I actually finished a novel a bit over the 50K mark, in 9 days. Admittedly it was summer and I wrote 5+ hours each day, but still. So definitely going to do it. Not sure what I'm going to write, as Pokemon fanfic and I...

    Should Spanish be a required course in American schools?

    So if everyone else is judging what languages they're teaching (English) based on the world for business and such, then why shouldn't we?

    are the presidential elections too long

    Much shorter would be better, at least on the primary side. Think how much money is wasted drawing everything out... Besides, it gives some states more voting power in the primaries that others. A single primary day would be better. Heck, make it a national holiday or something so everyone can...

    Should Spanish be a required course in American schools?

    Both arguments are void because, like Kusarigamaitachi said, Canada wants Quebec to stay in. French is also an official language of Canada... Most likely some people couldn't handle that, though. And I agree with Hawkfish that some people still need to work on their first language (English)...

    Website Pet Hates

    People that use Cute News even if they would have just as much without it, or it's overloaded. There are other CMS's out there people. Rampant fanboyism for any host that is utter crap. Sure there are advantages to having a free host, but there are actually free hosts that are nice. Sites...

    Political Parties

    I think that two part systems are flawed, where the two parties are roughly equal in numbers. Nothing ever gets done because the minority party needs to convince a handful of senators / representatives to vote their side and they have it, especially in Congress. Now, if there were ten plus...

    End of the World?

    I would say that in the far future, the star colonies all across the galaxy would rebel and destroy the earth through some means, and it would be forgotten about as our race expanded across the galaxy and outwards from there. That seems to be the most likely way in my mind, aside the sun...

    CRUSHES thread [REBORN... again]

    As far as celebrities, a bit on Anne Hathaway. Other than that... not really anyone in real life, nor in fiction. More a loner than anything.

    Who's the REAL poke-god?

    All the pokedex entries say is that Mew is a mirage-like, highly intelligent pokemon from South America. It is never stated that it is the ancestor. R/S: Mew is said to possess the genetic composition of all Pokémon. E: A Mew is said to possess the genes of all Pokémon. DP: many scientists...
