CrimsonInferno

This is the saddest news I have heard. I loved her worlds, writing and characters so much. She inspired me to write, got me to read and fall in love with dragons. I always wanted to meet her and tell her how much she inspired me. I was hoping she'd get to see Dragonriders of Pern on film before, well, you know.

This is a great loss to literature and authors. She was and always will be the Dragon Queen and greatest fantasy-sci-fi-dragon author in all the world and forever. May her soul rest in peace and may she be blessed.

Drummer, beat, and piper, blow
Harper, strike, and soldier, go
Free the flame and sear the grasses
Til the dawning Red Star passes.

I will miss you Anne. May you ride on the back of a Golden Queen forever in God's Kingdom.

If you guys haven't, I would highly recommend her series, any actually.

I was going to ask it in the other thread, but after sitting and thinking about it I thought maybe necro posting that thread would be a bad thing...? Well, this time I need help with Japanese names. I know nothing of the language, so I was hoping some of you guys could help me out?

Here is a list of names I found. I tried to find unisex or girl names that I liked. Bolded names will be named that some sites said could be used for girls and that I like it very much, but I'm not sure which gender it is.


I was looking for Japanese girl names that meant lightning, thunder, wolf, dragon or lion, but I haven't had any luck.

So, any suggestions? Help (if you know what gender they are)? I've never been good at picking names, sadly. >.>

Thanks for reading!

*Because James Cameron sucks and thinks he owns the word "avatar" they threw it out in the new series, BUT, I'm deciding to keep it there! xD*

I couldn't find the topic, if it existed, and decided to make one. I did try the search button, but for some strange reason it refused to work for me.

I'm really liking what I am seeing. Though I am a bit skeptical about the "future" part of it and the cars, I hope it turns out okay. Korra reminds me of Toph but a lot more "physical" about her toughness and she looks like an amazing character. But Bolin...now he looks really interesting! And the art is simply fantastic. Definitely a step up from the old, not that anything was wrong with that of course! lol Also...Bud from Married with Children is in it!

Anyways, any of you hyped for it? They released the trailer at Comic-Con, which I have to say looks amazing!

Everyone, watch out!

I have been getting spammy emails from the members here, but I know for certain they aren't sending them to me. They provide a fishy looking link, whatever you do DO NOT click the link. If you think the email is from someone here, you should ask them and provide what it says just to be safe.

So far, someone's using Rated and Thomas' (?) name/email to spam me with messages and links. The message will sometimes direct you with your username or your email name so please, be careful! They look just like the people who hacked my mother through MSN. You should also watch out for ones that say @.con.

Thought I should warn everyone! Be safe!

P.S
Marked, do you know why this is happening?
