2011 The Year of the Dragon? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/canada-nova-scotia-elsewhere/threads/12566 little1liz It seems that every third person I've talk to is including dragons in their novel this year. Maybe it's just my friends, or a Nova Scotia thing, or maybe it's spread across all of nanoland. Are you writing about dragons this year? How are you using dragons? Is your MC a dragon? The antagonist?

Catch all the popular sub-genres right now.

Dragons are my antagonists and also, on of my MC (who is too dense to be bitter and evil).

Strangely, when I first thought of the dragon idea, I didn't know of that many dragon books out there already, aside from A Song of Ice and Fire. Now I see all kinds. But then, I don't read much fantasy. My MC is a Dragon and the story is mostly all about him.

Two actually, and two dragon-horse-thingies, which are very sweet :) (with talons and big sharp teeth and all the nice stuff!) The two dragons are more like minor characters, who help they respective "riders"/ "leaders". There will be also a dragon fight! Yay for dragons :D, they make awesome stories even more awesome!

I figured Dragons are better when in fewer numbers, so i went ahead and decided there's only going to be two dragons in my story initially with details of their parents later on. When you think of Dragons, what do you think the most about them? I always admired their Pride. In fiction, i always thought of them as prideful creatures. Burning with a passion to prove themselves superior amongst others for honorable reasons. =) Sat, 05 Nov 2011 04:03:27 +0000 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/canada-nova-scotia-elsewhere/threads/12566?page=1#forum_thread_comment_481505 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/canada-nova-scotia-elsewhere/threads/12566?page=1#forum_thread_comment_481505 AmaiRose Intelligent.
