Two of my stories are actually based on dreams.
The first is Trelkoara, in the Originals/Erotica section (too lazy for links)
and the second is Dreams of Death (duh) in the Originals/Fantasy section.

I'm going to have to ask what you mean on the dominant traits. Being a guy myself, I don't see myself going out and seeking to lead/control. Granted, it seems to find me and I have no problem when it does. So is that what you mean?
As for whether or not chivalry can exist with modern feminsm, sort of yes, and sort of no. It depends on how adaptable the guy is. Case in point: I was always raised that the guy pays for everything. Not out of duty or what not, but out of privilege. Then my girl friend tells me that my paying for everything makes her feel useless. So now we split the bills, cause what else am I to do? Is that chivalry, or is that modern feminism, or is it both?

Hmm, Rabbit born to the Unicorn under the Lion by the Wolf. Guarded by the Dragon. Let's see if any one can unravel that little mess of signs and symbols.
Hobbies?
1) The girlfriend. More of a focus then a hobby though. Too important to be called hobby.
2) Gaming. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, looking for game groups for both, and of course good old D&D. May be starting a game group for that soon too, any one near NY look me up if interested.
3) Writing. Which I really should be getting back to...
4) Working in the pizzeria. Good friends, good food.
5) Working at another restaurant. Not so much fun.

The only case of this I know of is Larry Niven and his works, and it is generally accepted that they are officially off limit. In this case, I don't know what if any ramifications not listening to the author would have, but his fan base normally accepts it and abides by it, it being the author's wish.

A silver dragon, in any form is my personal sigil. I go everywhere with at least one.

I don't know how about how bad the fox cliche would be. That actually seems to fit with canon, and to a limited extent the nature of fox spirits/demons. (I am the first to admit I have little knowledge here.) As far as I know they have always been pranksters/tricksters and what better way to annoy people to then to have the shrimp bust open in the middle of the battle and wreak havoc with some one's very delicate plans? The only reason it doesnt do it more often is a) it ruins the fun and Naruto doesnt have enough control over the chakras the fox is bound in. Give it five years story wise, and it wouldnt matter. Naruto would have enough control to brute force any situation he got in.

I'll go first. I work two jobs, both in restuarants.
The first is a corprorate franchise type of place. The guys who run it think company image is everything, so if I so much as lean against the podium or counter I get yelled at. I get a little more then minimum wage, but its hardly worth the endless hours of just standing there. Especially since we get no breaks (they work it so no one works an eight hour shift) and have to pay for any food we get. Discounts are only given if its eaten in house, and dont even think of trying to take your leftovers home.
The second place is a good old fashioned Mom and Pop Italian pizzeria. The place is run by a pair of guy. The first is old and slighly nuts, while the other is a fifty something goofball. (Once watched him convince a waitress he had just placed his penis in a 500 degree fahrenheit oven and leave it there for a few minutes.) Pay is minimum wage, but waiting tables bring it up quite a bit. The atmosphere is rather relaxed, with staff being allowed to sit, talk, and sometimes eat and drink with customers. Best bit? Free food and drink! So it sort of has it all. Good food, good drink, and good company!
