Hi! I write mainly about dragons and would like to know some people here who like as well to write stories about them, and how they depict them

I believe endless stars is the dragon novel that people point to most often as best-in-genre.

Added it to my list, thanks!

Yep, Endless Stars, Valenquer and Penniless are ALL great Dragon-MC stories. 

I'm sure most of us are humans here. you should talk to the admins. there might be a dragon among them...

I actually like stories about little dragons more than big ones, as protagonists anyway. The best one I’ve read (imo) is actually on Wattpad of all places, but on RR there’s also Data Dragon Danika, which technically counts, and an old abandoned fic that stuck in my mind enough to give me my own ideas called “D Days”

I wrote a short story about dragons.

If any dragon is reading this, please take me to your world. We already have one thing in common, we both like writing!

Oh, that isn't want you mean with dragon writer, oops...

I don't know that I'm a fan of dragon-oly stories, but I do enjoy a good draconid here and there, for flavour.

Most important thing I can think of for including dragons is setting. I wouldn't put an Asian lung in a Western European or Mesoamerican setting, for example, if I were to write a story.

Additionally, I appreciate authors who return to some of the roots of dragon narratives when writing dragons into their stories, instead of recycling much of the post-Tolkien - no, that's being too generous - post-D&D tropes. After all, Tolkien drew his inspiration for Smaug and Angalagon the Black from Germanic and Old English stories, like Sigurd and Fafnir, and Gygax drew his inspiration for dragons from the various authors that were inspired by Tolkien.

Many modern-day depictions of dragons are terribly Flanderised and watered down. I would love to see someone gain tough skin from bathing in the blood of a dragon (bonus points if they missed a spot and that location brings about their downfall, a la Sigurd) or gain the ability to understand the speech of birds from eating its heart (Also Sigurd). Where are the magnificent, terrible beasts, grown cunning with age? Where are the lovers of riddles, the cursed hoards, the arrogance leading to downfall? Where is the analogy to the human condition, that greed makes monsters of even the best of us?

Not 100% sure about that, but my story’s about an angry dragon princess with childhood trauma from the mess that is her family’s child raising style and a little sister who was nearly murdered just because she happened to be born a weakling. So a little gritty I guess? 

Hey there.

My story's MC can change into one. Don't know if that counts?
