I suppose you want to see the rules for
applying for this clutch? WELL!
There are now THREE kinds of applications
for this Swim clutch. *added 1/12/04
1 - The DRAGON Clutch
This is the clutch which most people would
expect to be laid on the sands of any Frenzy. There are dozens of eggs
of all sizes and colors, all of them filled with beautiful swimmer or
partial-swimmer dragon hatchlings.
The rules for the DRAGON clutch are typical
-
1 - You must have a web page, with a
candidate on the page. The candidate may be from ANY genre, world or
be of any configuration but MUST have something to do with swimming,
water or the like. They may be human, elfin, dragon, or any variation
of humanoid/draconic that can be imagined. HOWEVER: they must be able
to function with, on, beside or near the dragon. They cannot be non-sentient
but they don't necessarily have to be living. The candidate may not
have bonded a full-sized dragon before, but may have a Lian dragon,
other small multiple-bond-type dragon, or pets.
2 - The web page must have a link to
the Healing Den (www.oocities.org/healing_den/) that WORKS. The page
may have whatever level of content is appropriate to the character.
If that means swearing or adult content, please be sure to place a warning
at the BEGINNING of the page.
3 - If you want your candidate to bond
a more "spectacular" looking dragon, please make them impressive
people. Images and backgrounds are extremely important to this feature
- but PLEASE don't load too many animations or ANY music. Music - while
great on some pages, doesn't belong on a candidate page here unless
they are actually PLAYING it and it has that much to do with the story.
Otherwise, music just slows everything down. If you have any special
requests, such as offspring from certain dragons, please tell me. I
will TRY to arrange it, but there are no guarantees. If you wish your
candidate to bond to a certain gender of dragon I will try to do that
too.
At this time, there are 56 Draconic hatchlings
(10/26/02).
So what's the other part of the hatching??

2 - The CHARACTER clutch!
For the first time (that I know of, until
the Ring of Fire beat me to it lol) in Dragon Adoption site history, there
are a large number of shapeshifting or humanoid offspring coming from
certain eggs or people who participated in the Swim. Since several of
them are Zekiran shapeshifters, I have given the other shapeshifters -
or those who have BEEN a shapeshifter or shifted from dragon to humanoid
and back - Zekiran character sheets and scores. With those, I have assembled
the "adult" shapes of the Characters that would hatch here.
The Character Hatchlings may then be sent to other places (if they're
accepted there that is) as candidates themselves. SOME of them may be
completely fertile for both humanoid and draconic genes, but their size
may limit their partners.
The rules for adopting these Character
eggs are as follows:
1 - You must have a page, which has
a clear link to the Healing Den (see above). There does NOT have to
be a character or candidate on the page. However, there MUST be a story
about who will be taking CARE of the hatchling character. Each character
will be very different and require different pages. Below, see which
kind of character you will get to try for. Character hatchlings have
their names created from their parents, rather than being chosen randomly
or by description as I do with the others.
A - Humanoid, Shapeshifter - This
is closest to the Zekiran ancestry, only with dragon looking genes
from the Swim mate. They will require a caretaker until they are old
enough to live on their own. Essentially, they are children needing
a nanny. They will be effectively immortal - they come from that side
of the Zekiran genetic fence.
B - Humanoid, non-Shifting - This
is a half-dragon, or in some cases a half-merdragon. They are typically
upright and can handle living in water and on land (though the merdragons
must remain in water). As above, they are children, needing a caretaker
until they are educated and able to care for themselves. They may
be very long lived or even immortal.
C - Centauroid Draconic/Humanoid -
These are more draconic looking than the others, but are still humanoid
in brain and powers. Some may also be shapeshifters but they are restricted
in size or type of shifting. They may live very long lives. They require
less caretaking earlier on, as they will mature more quickly than
their humanoid bretherin.
Any site requesting one of these must
list the following:
1 - Which type you want to try for
2 - If you have a clue which parents
you want (read the swim for that information)
Sites requesting these Character hatchlings
may ONLY ask for TWO. Quantities are VERY limited on this type. Because
the Zekiran females are essentially "people", some might actually
need to give birth, rather than lay an egg.
At this time (10/26/02) there are THIRTEEN
available Candidate hatchlings. I cannot guarantee that every request
for these characters will result in a successful bond.

3 - Sponsorships
A good number of sites have gone to Sponsorships
for dragon images, and the Healing Den Swim's clutch will be our first
to do so as well.
In order to sponsor a Swim dragon at this
clutch:
1 - You MUST own a dragon site which
gives out its own images. Associated with those images are usually a
whole batch of characters, so I'm presuming that since you've got an
agency, you have existing characters.
2 - When you apply you may ask for specific
pairings of offspring, but you're not guaranteed to get it. You may
ask for up to 4 dragons - these are NOT Character dragons. Asking for
specific genders will be easier to comply with, than specific pairs.
If there are too many sponsorships, I will reduce the quantity of the
highest requests until there are enough to go around and also include
normal candidates.
3 - Sponsored dragons must be put up
just as promptly as any other image from the Healing Den. However you
do not have to put a full story up with it at any time. Just a link
with it, its info, and a link back will do. BUT! I clearly prefer to
see some effort placed on either creating a bond or caretaker for the
dragon, or a job that it does, it's position in your site.
4 - Sponsored dragons that aren't bonded
later MAY be sent ANYWHERE THAT ACCEPTS DRAGONS, to bond themselves.
Since these are mostly sea-dragons, they may also bond more than once,
with another dragon or with a rider who has already bonded a dragon.

CURRENT CANDIATES AND PAGES - last updated 3/31/05 - I removed the old
reserves and any without links. If you need those back up, I'll put them
back up, but there was never any indication that they were finished. If
the two who don't have an accurate url (Aiania and Kydair) aren't in with
a new address soon or before the clutch is about to fill, I will remove
them. I don't want to, they are kind of important.. Especially Ainia since
she participated IN the swim...
