    Illidan story First chapter preview

    Water dripped from the cave’s ceiling, spilling down onto the dark mossy floor and a figure stirred in the blackness. The cave was long, deep and without light, the drops echoing through its walls as if it would go on forever. Shriveled pieces of paper laid across the stone floor, others flat and some whole. There was a simple wooden desk put against the wall with a pen and a book lying beside

    Story Nr. 7 preview (Possessed Shining Armor story)

    Hello there. Here's a preview at the first chapter of story number 7. As I've mentioned before it takes place in the future. Keep in mind that this is unedited, and unpolished. It should give a general idea of the story, or at least a little of it.

    Preview of story Nr. 2 (Adventures of Captain Goodguy)

    Here's a preview of the prologue of the Captain GoodGuy story. Let me know what you think of it.


    Hmmm… How do I start this?

    I could start with telling about my many adventures?

    No that’s not good…

    Maybe from the beginning?

    Nah, too cliche.

    I guess I will start with my name.

    The bit below is unedited, and unpolished.

    Choices to make. Halp

    Alrighty, as the title implies, I have a choice to make. I have about 7 different stories I want to write, while DiE is still going strong for, as it turns out, I've gotten some more time on my hands. For the next week, I'll be trying to find out which of the stories to write. And I would like you guys help choosing which one.

Some info on the sizes of the important Dragons · 6:41pm Oct 11th, 2015

I realise things might be a little confusing at times on how big Deathwing for example is in the story. So I thought you might like knowing the sizes that I use in the story.

Before I started writing the story I went full nerd and scoured the internet for the size of our main guy. Deathwing. Unsurprisingly it was very different from site to site what his accurate lenght, wingspan and height actually was.

That picture is one released by Blizzard so it gives a pretty accurate estimate via the amount of pixels = so and so many feet as X pixels is an average man according to the picture. From that information some people have given the following estimates which I have then followed and used in the story as best as I have been able.

Deathwing/Neltharion has a wingspan on around 1200 feet(365 meters), he is 354 feet long(108 meters) and has a height of 91 feet(28 meters)

In numbers this might not seem like that much. That is why there's a picture for comparisson.

Now there's Valissa, the dragon Queen. I though you guys might like getting some sizes on her as well. So I created the following sizes for her before I made the story. These are also the sizes being used. Valissa has a wingspan of 1000 feet(307 meters), she is 308 feet long(94 meters) and has a height of 75 feet(23 meters)

And there you have it. I realise these estimates might not be accurate on Deathwing/Neltharion but Blizzard never actually gave an official estimate. The only official info we have gotten is that he is "airliner big" and that he has a 1200 feet wingspan.

It might take a while on the next chapter as I have a lot of homework and am going to London this tuesday(getting back saturday). But will try and make it more than 1 chapter a month from now on because that is simply not good enough on my part.

Other than that I wish you all a wonderful day:twilightsmile:

On tv tropes it is said that Deathwing may be 108 meters at least. If you make the count a la Dangeon and Dragons then Deathwing may be 600 feet tall (182 meters long/tall). IMHO I prefer him being that tall, because dragons deserve to be big. But then again, given how small the ponies are, maybe 108 meters is enough.

Funny enough Godzilla would be bigger then everyone in this story still.
