I've been assembling some House pages that I'd like people's input on. I've used my memory, Cracks and Shards, Smill Invisible Lights, and comments here (thanks for the several useful bits in response to my last question in this area!). They're very plain, text only, and mostly still somewhat thin. I'd like comments and suggestions from people here, especially on anything that's clearly wrong, and then on anything solidly known about any of the houses that I have omitted. More examples of famous house members would be good -- and please provide cites for where they appear. I need to add the cites for the ones I've got so far. These pages are *not* intended for the general public yet. Please don't link to them, post the URL elsewhere, or encourage people not on this list to visit the pages. The URL they're at now is not where they'll be in the end, either. These pages are intended to be the end points for a "what Dragaeran House are you?" quiz thing. I've also got the quiz started, and I'll be opening that for comments when we get the house pages a bit better set up. Also, I hope that in fixing the house pages I'll be shown additional information that I can use to improve the questions in the quiz. When it's completed, this quiz toy will be on dragaera.info as an article. Because of the attempt to map humans into Dragaeran houses, I'm ignoring the physical appearance information given in the books, and the house color info (though I'm listing that on the page). My thinking is that *no* human really looks that much like a Dragaeran; and that human appearances aren't likely to map very well to House behavioral characteristics. So introducing the appearance into the questions will tend to produce answers that the person will think are bogus, and listing the appearances on the page will startle people sent to that page by the quiz since most of them won't look like that. So I'm ignoring appearance for this project. I'd love to have artwork, especially of the animals, and will make some attempt to find some of the known examples and see if I can get permission. But I don't have money to commission a set of artwork, and I don't have a tame artist willing to do that much work for me for free, which are the only ways I know to force it to happen. If the t-shirt project of the illustrated cycle ever happens, maybe I could get permission to use some of that artwork. Okay. So here's the URL to the "Dragaeran Houses" page, at the bottom of which are links to individual pages for each house (plus Easterners). <http://www.dd-b.net/test/dh_all.html> Let the discussion begin! -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b at dd-b.net>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
