Well, you'll recall that I was following, and commenting fairly extensively on, TD Hotel before you cancelled it.

As you probably guessed, "dragon girl" is merely the juvenile form of "dragon lady". Another example LTDI will have is that, since guitars are colloquially called "axes" and "axman" is a slang term for a guitar player, Trent will be "the axboy", among other things. (On at least one occasion, another camper calls him "Ax Dude" in dialogue.) In addition, many of the descriptive phrases I used in TDI-G&S will also appear in LTDI.

Having a scene that's similar to the canon version, but with a very different tone, was the whole point of tonight's preview. I wanted to show how much difference playing for drama vs. playing for laughs can make; and to do that, I needed similar scenes.

I haven't decided whether or not LTDI will have character pages. I originally planned to, but now I'm not sure. If I do use character pages, I probably won't fill out the standard contestant boxes (placement, friends, enemies, relationships, etc.) because those "vital statistics" tend to have spoilers for people who pick up the story late.
