Question

Thought to be transparent, rarely I am

My stay is extended, with shouts of damn

A few dozen arrows were flung my way

But this mighty dragon is hard to slay

The hunt will continue, slow or faster

Much to the dismay of my master

Who’s waiting in the wings, until I’m slain

And who’s very well known in this domain

is something more specific

I wrote a riddle with the answer

Riddle Master, once. But, you wouldn't put part of the answer in your riddle, I think. The Brain Den? The Riddler's Lair? : )

More specific than say, an Illusion?

Yes, it can be considered very specific.

3 lines that make this one extremely specific for those who have been paying attention.

You mean like A specific unsolved riddle? Anyone got unsolved riddles lying around that have taken at least a few dozen guesses aside from Tryintothink & plainglazed & Magic luver?

I like the way you're thinking. I can't ever get one of their riddles. Keep this train of thought.

You're all close

Line 8 - Someone well known around here

Line 1 - Their riddles are almost always assumed to be extremely obvious but usually aren't (transparent was just used instead of the word obvious, but I like the transparent/plainglazed thought process.)

Line 5 & 6 - For some reason, though, they seem to be disappointed when their riddles take 3 or 4 pages of guesses before it is correctly answered

The rest of the riddle was simply a metaphor for a riddle, which most of you have picked up on.

...flattered but more surprised y'all haven't gotten this. Gotta think it's truly right in front of you-answering all along-the true riddle master herself-riddles...what else-our very own Lotus-who's now most likely in the wings composing yet another to twist our minds.

Good job plainglazed!

To find a riddle written just for me,

I'm flattered and it turns out, you can see.

My greatest fault in writing a riddle,

Is the urge to hint, if answers are little.

The irony, now that you mention this, is,

I've sworn, never again, my fault will be this.
