Captain, I just got interrupted whilst reading through your latest series of posts and noticed this when I re-entered. Thanks for your endorsements. My style was always designed to be easy to read and not overly detailed. My main audience is teenage, so whilst I would like to tackle something more serious, the simple style of writing is what comes naturally.
I'm finding that I'm enjoying your work as well, though I judge it is more for the hardened fantasy fan rather than for someone dipping into the genre. I'll post a few comments when I finish reading through, though from what I've seen so far, there is little technically wrong with the writing.
As you might have noticed, this was originally written to amuse one of the longer standing members of this forum. My own feelings on dragon stories were that they had been overdone. I was struggling to think of any new slants to put on them, but as I wrote this short story, ideas started leaping out at me in droves. I'm now quite taken with the idea of turning this into a book - I'm certain to have at least one reader in Dwndrgn!
