Hullo c: Rebuilding piece by piece...

[Dragonspyrit]

I found out a certain someone was still alive and making sams through Dragon Cave and.. well.. here I am c:

Some of you might remember me from wayyyyyyyyyy back when in the days of yore. I certainly see some names here I never thought I'd see again! Is exciting n.n

I would love to get my sams posted here to frolic about but... my domain (which i've had for 10+ years) expired last month, and some company who buys peoples domains for the sole purpose of putting irrelevant links on them is now in possession of it. I'm in the process of getting a decades worth in files, including all of my adoptables, back =( My stupid fault for not backing up. Hopefully I'll be able to have them again soon. If not, well.. It's nice to be here

EDIT: Bah. I just found out that my host deleted my data when they took the domain away ='( Time to dig around for backup CDs.. I wonder if anyone would have them saved somewhere =\

Edit again: AHA! I found a backup CD from 2002! These aren't all my sams/lams..but it is the bulk of them =D I shall keep looking to see if I cant find names and newer arrivals. Info posted as I can remember

Edit again again: Thanks for posting that list! I'm certain I have at least a few more, as I know I had at least one lam and one northern. I'm also pretty sure I bought one from the Gaia days, which were from 2003 onward and beyond the time of this backup *ponders* I shall keep looking.

Edit 3/29/09, 8:50pm est: Found another old CD. This one had a lot of repeats, but I also found several mysterious sams. Some are clearly breedings out of my song (i guess I kept them, since both baby and adult forms have my initials on them, and I don't change file names on adoptables) and one I don't recognize at all, so I'm not sure if I've just forgotten it, or if I just saved it because its cute -_-;

Edit: 3/30/09, 2:30am est: Updates updates updates! Thanks Sky/Sushi for posting the new images and info!

[Orasteele]

I remember you! Welcome welcome!!

[Dragonspyrit]

And I you! It has been a while

[CosmicDragon]

Hiya! I'm relatively knew here, and it's nice to meet someone from the very beginning! -noms on-
So yeah.
Nice too meet you!

[Sushidragon]

Hey, long time no see I'm glad to see you've made your way back here! I'm curious as to how you found me through Dragon Cave, since I'm using a different screen name than when I was first doing Sams XD

My first domain got grabbed up a reseller too (since there's such a demand for cityshar.com), boo - but yay for backups! My files from 2005 onward are actually arranged by adopter name, and I took a look through them and couldn't find any additional Sams, so that might be all of them. Here's the name information I could find from the old adopted lists:

Stallions:

Sand of the Mingling Dunes

Mares:

Cresting of the Mountain Sunlight (birth-Song Mountain Springs)
Leaper of Bending Branches (birth-Song Viridian Winds)
Echo of the Fleeting Rainbow (in Luminaire's Song of the Midnight Enchantment)
Caller of the Molten Flame (in Luminaire's Song of the Midnight Enchantment)
Shadow of the Midnight Moon (in Luminaire's Song of the Midnight Enchantment)

Songs you ran:

Viridian Winds
Seeker of Hidden Skybreak Unknown - stallion
Dawning of the Liquid Twilight Unknown - mare
Keeper of the Verdant Illusion - mare

Mountain Springs

Dasher of the Sun's Rainbow - stallion (birth-Song Aurora Borealis)
Clash of the Sepia Seas - mare
Echo of the Sun's Brilliance - mare
Also in the Song - Ann's Gradient of the Scattered Lights (she doesn't adopt anymore)

The number of Sams on that list actually matches up with the images you posted, so that might be all of them XD Now I guess it's just a matter of trying to match names up with images! Unfortunately I'm no help there, since my old records systems weren't that helpful if the adopter's page went down - fortunately I've learned since then XD

[Orasteele]

OMG yay!! When I was updating my Sam pages I had lost Leaf's birthsong information. And I tried going through google to find it, but had no luck.

By any chance, do you remember which mare is her dam? ^_^;;

Also here is the link to the old sam thread on Gaia if you want to see if you had any on there. I still had it bookmarked.
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/breedab ... t.4525192/

[Dragonspyrit]

Glad to be of service!

Hm, I couldn't say which mare is her mum. No idea where she got that lovely blue color from o.O There is a possibility that shes actually a third generation out from the Song, since I am missing an arboreal foal (possibly grown).

And THANK YOU for the gaia link! It seems I've two gaia foals as well! Starting to round things out!

Hm found an arboreal on this page:
http://skysong.deviantart.com/art/A-sma ... rs-8665358

Wonderign if its related to mine..or IS mine.. or was an unrelated rare sold or commissioned *hunts*

Also the more I think about it, I seem to recall having at least one more song, Maybe Desert Oasis, because I know my Shifting Sands boy had his own. *hunts harder!*


Also, hallo ther Cosmic! Nice to meet you too ^_^

[Harroway]

Hello Dragon! I'm relatively new to the Sam community in the grand scheme of things, but I do have to say you own some lovelies. <3 And welcome back!

[silvermoondragon]

Welcome, I'm also new. I love your little colt with the santa hat on, he's so cute! I also like that bottom dragonet, his ripply fin is so intriguing. It reminds me of a black ghost knife fish!

[Sushidragon]

Ah hah! I found Leaper and Sheet (who looks to be your missing Lamanayr XD)!



Leaper of Bending Branches doesn't have a gender, but Seeker of Hidden Skybreak and Dawning of the Liquid Twilight are the parents. Aboreals were also designed for a contest In 2002, to be exact - I just found the contest results.

Unfortunately I don't have a name for that Mystic, but he's a fire Mystic, and you could come up with a name for him if you'd like. The two Gaia Sams will also grow, and they'll be given names when they're adults - none of the ones on Gaia had names yet because Sams aren't named until they're grown

The Aboreal on that Deviantart page is from a group of Sams (eg, all of them) that I believe never ended up getting adopted out XD If they did, I probably sold them.

That last little foal belongs to Kaetz - I was able to find the old file when they were named by adopter.

Ah hah, I also found another one of yours, fortunately from back when I still made pickup pages:


Name: Purity of Unbroken Snowfall
Gender: Mare
Birth-Song: Desert Winds
Species: Samanayr
Notes: Spontaneous albino mutation!

Ah, and I found another Lamanayr from the old marketplaces, although no name:



It was fun looking through my super-old folders! And thanks for the Gaia link, Orasteele! Although reading through it is painful XD;;

[Dragonspyrit]

omg AWESOME :'D Thank you so much for looking for these! *gathers them all up and smothers happily* =u=*

Sams: *collective* >_O!

I'll have to go through and name the unnamed/lost-named, and pick genders etc. That orange creamsicle market lam is gorgeous... I don't remember her as much (though I obviously forgot half of the others as well.. there are so many to keep track of @_@; ) but if you say so than it must be true <3 *yoink* And thank you for putting the gaia babes on the list to grow

[Orasteele]

You know... for some reason I remember there being an arboreal with a flower in her mane, and I think that one is Leaf's dam. She was laying across a branch with a foot hanging down and there was a large flower above her ear I think....does that ring a bell to anyone besides me?

[Dragonspyrit]

Hm.. doesn't sound familiar to me. I could have sworn you were the one who asked me permission for a breeding from my song, so I'm fairly certain that Leaf is one of our offspring... but it has been years :\ I'm not putting the possibility of an error out of question. There might also be a mysterious 4th mare that someone owns with said flower!

All of this makes me want to resurrect one of my many adoptions... hmmmm *eyes R-unis* *ninja*

[Orasteele]

I know leaf was a foal adopted from your song, because I remember PMing you on Gaia about it. XD

Maybe I dreamed the mare up, or it was another mare I saw at some point in time.

[Dragonspyrit]

Hah, perhaps!

*putters around PI adoptabl;es forums* Pah.. I feel like I'm too old for this... *eyes Runis nerviously*

Edit: Eithr I'm too stupid to figure out how to post on the PI forums, of I cant post with a trial account =_=; *feels dumb* Now I has pets and no one to adopt them to. Sadface.

[Sushidragon]

I believe you have to have a paid account to post in the Adoptable forums.

And I hope I'm never too old for adoptables XD It means I get to do arts and have some fun!

[Dragonspyrit]

I made a whole big bunch of runi and i have nowhere to post them :'<

[Harroway]

I made a whole big bunch of runi and i have nowhere to post them :'<

Now you've made me curious! *detective glasses*

[Dragonspyrit]

Here are some old ones from years ago~
http://www.silvanon.com/pets/runi1.html

And here are some from the big batch I just whipped out~


I tried to keep them the same very basic style-- was surprised athow similar they turned out looking XD (some of the others more so than these two).

[Harroway]

Like I posted on the DragCave forums - I like them!

[SunBlind]

You can always give them away at the orchard messagepost ^_^ It's still alive.
http://silvanon.proboards.com/index.cgi?

[Sushidragon]

Aw, very cute I'd say giving the Orchard a try too!

[Dragonspyrit]

I shall do just that! In fact... heres the post n_n 2/5 are still available if anyone wants, first come first serve dealie

http://silvanon.proboards.com/index.cgi ... hread=3071

[Harroway]

Well poo! I don't have my own website. I should remedy this one day! I need someplace to showcase my paintings.

[Dragonspyrit]

A dedicated forum post is okay~ I know when I was on gaia, I kept all of my adoptables in a thread, and each one (or species) had their own post with their name, info, and a small writeup
