Lineage Projects, Holidays, Welcome

[krait]

Welcome, any and all new Dreamwidth users!

How's breeding going for everyone on your various lineage projects? I just had a 'no egg' attempt on my latest effort, but at least it wasn't a refusal. As soon as they do produce an egg, I'll be done with my Firemage lineage project!

What are your breeding plans for the upcoming holiday? Is anyone looking for holiday mates, or planning to try out a new cross this year? Post your ideas or wishes! Anyone want to guess what the new holiday breed will look like? :D If the pattern holds true, it'll be female this year; I'm hoping for something silvery or green, but wondering if maybe we'll go back to red at last? So far all of our red holiday breeds have been male, so a female would be nice!

I'm only making slow progress on my Spinel x Blue Lunar lineage, but yeah, it's progress.

I'm so torn about the holiday. Last year, I messed up Solstice breeding time and got all blue Solstices that I didn't want. Which took me back a year with those lineages and now I'm meh about continueing.

But I also picked up a ton of 2nd gen Snows, and over the past year I've bread pretty much all of them into 3rd gens. For some of these lineages I would like to find a mate!

And then there are all those Enraged Aegis lineages that are a pain to continue, but I would really like to try. *sigh*

On the other hand, I really liked the Garlands, and might go AP hunting for 2nd gens this year.

All of that might be a moot point, though, because I will be spending Christmas with my dad, and not have much time for hanging around the cave. *g*

Ooooh, tell me all about your Snow lineages that need mates! I don't have a lot of Snow lineages yet, so inspiration is good; and on the off-chance I do have one of the same lineage, we could swap!

(I have Snow x silver Lunar, Snow x gold Lunar, Snow x White Zyu, & Snow x Sapphire thus far.)

I'll definitely be browsing for Garlands, too, and I've been tinkering around trying to figure out what I like them paired with, beyond Gold and gold Lunar. They look fabulous with Gaias, and I just got a friend to try with Terrae and really like that, too. I'm not as sure about my Fever cross, but it might grow on me? And I'm almost afraid that I like the Gemshard experiment I tried...

Hope you have fun with your dad! And that you at least have enough Cave time to snag the new release and pick up some interesting AP finds! :D

For the Garlands, I'll do the Gaia and Gold combination. But I can do that with my own dragons, so I won't need mates this year. But AP hunting for other 2nd gens, yeah, that's really tempting. *sigh*

I really do have a lot of Snow lineages, but won't continue all of them. What I really like, though, are the following:
Script, Silver Herald, White Zyu, Gold Herald, Teimarr, Spinel, Silver, Moonstone and Monarch. So yes, there would be lineages we could swap - unless I happened to pick up an egg related to one of yours. *g*

[krait]

Oooooh, I really like the Snow x Teimarr combo! Why didn't I think of that? :D Monarch is neat, too.

Right now I have mostly Snow mates, waiting for me to breed/trade/acquire Snows to go with them! The upside of which is, I don't think any are related to yours, since I mostly bred them myself. :D

Do you need holiday or non-holiday swaps? I could breed a 3G Snow x Zyu as soon as an egg slot opens up, if you want to swap Zyus; or we oculd arrange to swap during the holiday breeding. Same for 3G Snow x gold Herald - next gold Lunar phase will begin 12-14, so we could try for a Herald swap then, or wait till the holiday.

Oh, I would really prefer holiday swaps. Somehow those lineages were rather reluctant to give me eggs, and chances are that breeding them now would result in nothing. So I'd rather go for the safe option - holiday breeding time grants us no refusals and at least one egg per batch, after all. *g*
