Question for the flist

[darkelf105]

So, I have me a new story idea. (Well, technically I've been wracking my brains to come up with a dragon  short story idea for awhile because of a submissions call I saw somewhere and I've finally thought of something).

My question is: How many Barbie sacrifices would it take to make a stuffed dragon manifest into a real dragon? Or could the stuffed dragon just eat the Barbie that is most beloved of teh main character? Would that be best?

Lol I like the idea of Barbie sacrifices better. Unless you planned on making a character that really loved Barbies, but that seems kind of blah to me.

hmmm, depends on the size of the dragon. A large number of sacrifices could be needed but the most beloved of the main character could have some property that is much bigger than in the other sacrifices that speeds up the process.

See that was what I was thinking, too. I think I'm gonna go with that.

Oh, oh! Can we make them Bratz dolls instead?

As satisfying as that would be, it's way too out of character for my protagonist. She'd believably have Barbies. I don't think she'd have Bratz dolls.

Ah okay. Too bad, I would have loved to read about one of them getting it.

1000.
If it takes a thousand deaths to become a youkai (sp? Demon, anyway) then why not a thousand Barbie sacrifices? (Cho Hakai of Saiyuki reference).
