A gift for everyone - retro Samanayr edition! Pickups page 2

Post by Sushidragon »

Image Image Image Image Image
If you were around Samanayrs early enough, you probably know Lexington. She was around from the very beginning and even owns one of the earliest Sams :D

Over the years she adopted more than 70 Samanayrs, but she's moved on and has other interests now. We do keep in touch via Facebook and she contacted me recently asking if I could find new homes for her Samanayrs. I did let her know that you aren't required to participate and keep active to keep your Sams but she wants them to be loved and enjoyed and played with <3 I asked if I could give them away for the holiday events and she said that sounded great.

So, with one she requested be given away to a specific person and one that I'll be keeping, that's 70 Samanayrs that are looking for new homes! Most of them will be given away in December but some may be waiting until January, depending on how things go :D

I'm also working on some breedings from some of her pairs that don't yet have foals to give away in other events!

A bunch of these Samanayrs are going to be given away in this event, where everyone gets the gift of a retro Samanayr :D I've earmarked 40 to be given away here but can always add or remove as needed.

Rules and info!

- There is a limit of one entry per person.
- All Samanayrs given away in these events will stay in their current Songs unless the stallion's owner is no longer a member of the community. In that case you may find a new Song for a mare.
- If you receive a stallion in a Song you will become responsible for that Song. You can decide whether or not you'd like to be in the running for any stallions in a Song or not.
- Sorry, I should have said this from the beginning! I was intending to give the Samanayrs out randomly, but if you do have a list of preferences I'll try to accommodate. No guarantees, though! If you want to edit your post to include preferences please feel free to do so.

If you'd like to receive one of Lexington's old Samanayrs as a gift, please just reply to this thread :D

This will be open until December 27, 8pm PST!

And if you're wondering who I'm keeping, it's Hider in Fire's Forest, one of the first Sams :D

Oh woah that's super sweet of her! I uh, don't know if we can really request specifics, but I know Steps of the Silent Death is a really amazing one of hers. (If no, I'd still be super grateful for any random of her Sams, they all are a colorful bunch :D)

Wow, I know she shut down her adoptions not too long ago but didn't think she'd ever part with her gorgeous collection. I think it's super nice of her to hand them out to others, though at the same time kind of sad to see another oldie from the Orchard Messagepost moving on, but that's life, no?

Ah, the good old days, back when Arborwin, Myrror, and even I were still running agencies XD


*edit*

Preferences...so hard to decide, I love them all but I guess these are on the top of my list, but in the end, I had to fight not to add twice as many as these to the list XD I certainly won't be disappointed either way.

Ash of the Falling Sky
Misery of the Frozen Fog
Fang of the Angry Storm
Flightless of the Injured Angel
Phoenix
Flicker
Illusion of the Desert Sky
Dance of the Rainbow Wild
Gleam of Primary Colors
Strider of the Turquoise Horizon
Steps of the Silent Death
Keeper of the Blood Stone (I own both parents...blast from the past)
Gleam of the Volcanic Moon / Pulsing of the Ocean Fury (I have one of their offspring *g*)

Oh my goodness this is so incredibly kind of Lexington though I am sad to see her leave the community. She has some of my favorite of the early sams - Trader of Exotic Spices, Birth of the Phoenix Flame, Bringer of Sweet Rain, and Tides of the Calling Moon to name a few.

Lexington, I've admired her retro Sams so much! I remember when LJ breedings were all the rage and I slobbered over a great deal of her Sams. It's very generous of her to give them all away. ;_;

Some of my faves from her crew are:

Pulsing of the Ocean Fury
Image

Void of Vivid Darkened Dreams (never seen a Sam with a name this long!)
Image

Jewel of the Forest's Reflection
Image

Flightless of the Injured Angel (the first Sam with the "damaged" trait I'd ever seen)
Image


Thank you Lexington! ;_;

Oh wow, that's so amazingly generous of her! :O It's always sad to see an original stalker go, but it's a real treat to see her releasing them into the community so that the joy can be shared. Especially at this time of year!
I have to say, I do love the older Sam's, and Lex has some real beauties~

In fact, she has some of my original favourites, like Flightless, Splash, Steps, Bringer, and Misery/Ash!
ImageImageImageImageImage

And she also had three of my favourite many-legged Sams! :D Dose legs, man.

ImageImageImage

Can wait to see what all the new owners out there choose to do with these guys! Here's hoping we can usher some new blood into the fold. ^-^

*Squeals* ^o^ Oh how I have stalked Lexingtons Sams! xD Lex Sam Parade thread! -Wiggles-

I am a HUGE fan of the colorings of a majority of lexington's sams. I enjoy the retro look, a lot. x3 For some reason I am SO HAPPY when I see the retro's breed or be used. They have such different patterns and colors and designs. -wiggles-

Some of my personal favs are *Most favored at the top*

Image
Fall of Forest Ash - Just too gorgeous and elegant
Image
Ghost of the Dark Forest - So strong and determined- UPRIGHT HAIR!
Image
Flightless of the Injured Angel - Always wanted an angelic like sam x3 even if hes a bit messed up.
Image
Fury of Storming Winds - Upright hair and I love the Haughty pose
Image
Kiss of the Rainforest Song - One of my fav. coloring/patterns EVER
Image
Void of Vivid Darkened Dreams - I love the lounging pose, and the tines are magnificent.
Image
Gleam of Primary Colors - The COLORS! OMG THE COLORS ^o^!!
Image
Brilliance of the Beaming Dawn - Reminds me of Glassgryphs :3 -wiggles- LOVE the beak and colors.

xD Those are just SOME of my favs. hahaha I love them all! I would be honored to get anything! Just know... Whoever does get one of my favs... >_> I'll be stalking you ;D <3333

I am glad that they stay in their current songs!

QUESTION SUSHI!!!

If the stallion owner is not active and youd still like to keep your mare in the song (If you get one).. is that ok? Do you still have to have permission from the stallion to use the mare for breedings etc? o_<

Just thought of that and wasn't quite sure. I'd figure it wouldn't change much since Lex gave permission for her sams to be gifted... >.<; There are some of her mares that have inactive stallions but they are just GORGEOUSLY paired... 8I Be a shame to part some.

Sorry, I should have said this from the beginning! I was intending to give the Samanayrs out randomly, but if you do have a list of preferences I'll try to accommodate. No guarantees, though! If you want to edit your post to include preferences please feel free to do so.

@RikkuGirl - It's implied that the owners of the mares in a Song don't require permission to use the stallion, and you are welcome to keep a mare in her Song! Makes it easier for me too ;D

Image - I have always adored this grumpy pair! They couldn't have been more perfect together in an I-hate-you kinda way!
ImageImage - They share a song and I always think that one day I will see about a foal from them.
Image - Who didn't love this elemental!
Image - My favorite flying northern. Even still to this day!

Ahhh this is so exciting and so generous of Lexington! :D

I'm going to pop a few images up, but honestly, I'm flexible and happy.

Image (Like most people, who can turn her down? XD)ImageImage


Preferences: I really like wings, unusual, lesser-known traits, natural color schemes (not pastels/pinks/too much white), and different species I suppose! I love dynamic poses too. I also love themes- i.e. holidays, etc. ^__^ I'm up for anything though! Thank you so much for the opportunity! :D
