Room for a dragon? *smirk*

The Troubadour

Greetings everyone,

I'm a graduatee from Simon Fraser university, currently looking for a career as an editor.  I'm also a rather large dragon with a long snout, faded red and orange hues, large wings with a a tiny tear or two, and kind, ancient eyes. 

I'm really glad I found this community.  Since long before I knew what a furry or an otherkin was, I felt as I walked that I had wings.  I suppose it's why I started wearing long, heavy, swishy coats: they felt right.  Having a long coat is like having four eyebrows or hands: all the more expressions and gestures you can make.  I started calling myself The Troubadour as I learned more about literature; a troubadour is a poet who travels around the countryside to tell stories of ancient days and precious legend.  For affection, feel free to call me Trou, or True.  I hope the pun isn't a conceit.  Like most dragons, I'm silly, loyal, affectionate, fiercely loving, snide, and witty. 

As for the real world ("OOC"?), I'd have to say it's hard to really be self-actualized with some sort of costume; a fox seems more doable than a dragon.  So I let my real self out through prose and casual role-play. 

Cheers, everyone!

Hi there guys.  I was at SFU Burnaby.  I had a double-major in English and Philosophy.  But I haven't knighted yet, so no sir necessary.  Here, I think a smiley is in order; just this once... let me see *shuffle*  Ah, this will do.   ;)

Your lucky to go to such a beautiful school. Welcome aboard by the way. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to maybe meeting you at the upcoming furmeet this saturday.

The Troubadour

Oh, I may go to an event some day; but perhaps only once I've gotten to know people.  I have a prior obligation on Saturday anyhow.  Tempting, though.

Welcome from the admin team. How did you find the site?

The Troubadour

I'm good at websearching.  I suddenly remembered there being a large furry community in Vancouver, and so it wasn't hard to find.  Vancouver's so quirky a city, I'm sure I could find anything I suddenly desired.  =D

An editor, huh? What kind of editor?

Both kinds, actually, or at least I'd like to be: I correct grammar and spelling, and I make stylistic & thematic recommendations.  I'm gaining amateur experience by helping a few friends with their work.  Still, it doesn't seem to do any good: no one wants editors anymore.  Everyone thinks spellcheck is all well and good, and it's just not.  In The Vancouver Sun, people screw up all the time these days, and a generation ago a typo in a newspaper was just unHEARD of.  Now we have headlines like, "Obama's efforts becoming more harder", or articles with missing periods and incorrect homonyms.  And yet, I'm laughed at when I offer my services to those clowns.
