• 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?

    How can we reconcile our actions with our opportunties?

    TL;DR: Is it possible to use our creative opportunities without squandering them? I was thinking today, and what I’ve thought is hard to put into words. It’s hard. I watched this movie in the theater today, called Pina. It was a very cool movie, half documentary about the late dancer and...

    Description

    So being drilled into our heads from day one is show and don't tell, and often the extension of this that I've seen taught is revealing character appearances and the like naturally through the action, rather than spelling it out. Something like, "He combed his fingers through his brown...

    Do people deserve help?

    What are your opinions on the following quote: "People only deserve help if they seek it out." I know this sounds potentially flame-worthy, but I think it's a serious question. Whatever you want to relate this to, socially, politically, personally, whatever.

    Macbeth Mafia

    Okay, I've been working on these roles for a bit and I think that they'll work and will be balanced. I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition. If something looks obviously stupid to you please point it out and we'll change it before the game starts. Anyway, let...

    Eysenck personality test

    Personality: growth v. discovery

    What do you think about the idea that when a person matures or develops personally and psychologically (in fiction, it would be called character development) that the process is more akin to discovery than growth, or vice versa? Let me elaborate, I'm asking whether you think that a person goes...

    What could be, or what is

    Do you believe more in the power of what could be, or the power of what is? How has this affected your life?

    Love the writing hate the writers

    Okay, so recently I've noticed a weird trend. Maybe it's just me (probably, actually) but whenever I talk to someone who is or claims to be a writer or author or novelist or whatever, I end up getting really pissed off. I love writing, personally. I love working with characters and story and...

    Dragon Boats: 龙舟竞赛!

    Hey! Just all hyped up from the DRAGON BOAT race that our team WON (First place in the entire teen division*!) and pretty much really excited about everything right now. So basically I was wondering if anyone else here has ever paddled on a dragon boat team. It's amazingly fun and you should...

    Gun Control

    So, is it: "If guns are outlawed, then only outlaws will have guns."? Or is it: "You'll shoot your eye out!"? Fairly well-rounded issue. Good for debate, I think. Applicable to the U.S.--where people seem to get the most butthurt about it--and elsewhere. What do you think?

    Red's ICY COLD Adventure [WIP IF/TA]

    Hey guys. So I've been working on this new project. It's a pokemon themed text adventure, or interactive fiction if you prefer. I recently became enamored with interactive fiction and found Inform 7. I decided to have a learning experience writing an adventure about Red exploring Seafoam...

    Author Profiles

    Here you can post a profile with links to any or all of your stories, whether on TCoD or elsewhere. Keep records of what you've written, and provide readers easy access to all your works, if that's what you want. I suggested this idea a while ago, and there was some discussion. Even if it might...

    Heroism

    So, TCoD, what is a hero? Who is a hero? What constitutes a heroic act? Does it matter? Where does your definition draw the line? Most people probably think of firefighters as heroes, but maybe they're just doing their job? Do you believe in heroes?

    Fullmetal Alchemist Mafia Sign-Up [you know you want to]

    "MAFIA? WHY, THAT GAME ONE OF OUR GRAND TRADITIONS! IN FACT, THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY HAS BEEN PLAYING IT FOR GENERATIONS!" *sparkle* Now that's out of the way let's see how this is going to work. First, let me say that when making the roles I attempted to be as spoiler-free as possible, but...

    The Final Frontier

    It will never be the same, Yuri. That very same step you took; The very same distance that you looked; In fifty years, none have ever come close To what you have done; what you have seen. Plenty have flown, plenty have left, But never like you. Never has any man felt your...

    Writer Profile-ish

    I was thinking that it could be a good idea for the Author Lounge forum to have, like, a sticky or something wherein people could put up their own little profile page thing (a la ASB). They could put whatever they wanted on it, but the main point would be to have a post with links to all of...
