Battle of the typers! XD I read yours, very nice. It's a nice change to see someone using First Person, I have a nasty habbit of writing Third Person Limited, so that makes it exspecially enjoyable for me personally. As for critique, it gets a little vague here and there, but that's not really an issue since it also appears that vague is what you're going for.

Reading entries is making me hyper! 8D

I was thinking of the dream part at first, but reading it again I could see it more clearly.

Your welcome, It's a pleasure to get to read your stories!

Btw, I noticed you're in the ice storm too, have many limbs fallen yet? We had part of a pine tree in the back yard go down a few hours ago.

Name: Ankti (meaning "repeat dance")
Species:The closest would be a Saarlooswolfhond. However, using selective breeding, people made a sort of variant of the Saarlooswolfhond that had more of a wolflike build, longer fur, and more of a brown color scheme. This is what Ankti is.(that's fictional though. XD no such thing exists, from what I know.)
Personality: To get an idea of Ankti's personality, look at her name. Say it aloud. It most represents the wolfdog.

First, the meaning, "repeat dance". Ankti is a creature of habit. She does what she is used to, plain and simple. If you teach her to paw at a porcupine's face when it comes near her, she will always paw at the face of an attacking porcupine, even if that does not succeed and she ends up more injured than she would've been, had she tried a different method of defending herself. I'll compare her to insects: there is a type of wasp that drags away its' prey by the antennae. If the antennae have been broken off, the wasp can't figure out what to do. Whereas a dog or cat would typically figure out how to drag it away by a different body part, the wasp will just be hopeless.

Ankti is that wasp.

And then, there is the sound.
Likes: swimming, running
Dislikes:
Background

Scene One:

Darkness. It was dark. She couldn't see. She couldn't hear. Cold, it was very cold. Warmth, warmth was there, but she had to move to get there. Something nearby was warm, if she squirmed towards it she would be warm.

No warmth where it should be. No heat. Where'd it go? Blink, lift your head, try to sniff, maybe it'll make more sense.

Maybe.

...
Blink.

Nothing. No milk-scent, no warm-feel.Only dark and cold, and they were one. She could only see the coldness and the darkness and only feel the darkness and the coldness. And the coldness was wet, the coldness was snow that frosted and stuck to her mottled coat.

...
Blink.

That's when she saw it.

She was all alone, and Momma was gone.

Moonlight flashing off of the chocolate pelt as the young creature could only lift a paw, only tilt her head, only hope and struggle in confusion and try to get away from the dark and the cold and the dark. The faint scent of dried blood clung to the ground, and she could smell it, and she could feel it, and it scared her.

...
Blink.

Warmth. A strange sensation - a texture like rock, but not cold, not so abrasive. Soft. Wrapping around her like a pocket, like her mothers' jaws, firm yet gentle, lifting her into the air.


Anyone have any critique on this so far?

No limbs have fallen yet, the ice has just started to cover everything. I suspect the power will probably go out in about a half an hour, and it'll probably be about an hour after that before the freezing rain starts and the branches start breaking.

Added s'more to the background. I've only got like, a sixth done, but hey. It's decent so far. There's a lot of competition for this girl, but I'll fight hard for her, haha.

Awesome so far, Capricoon.
I originaly planned to make 3 a girl in my form, but I wanted a greek name that meant fear, and the closest thing I could find was a guy's name. So Deimos it is for me

And I'm finding muse in the wierdest ways, here...
