I knew we had a lot of dragon lovers here. It was hard to keep quiet about it. LOL
I will be reading each and every story. I seem to have writers block at the moment so I'll leave it to the rest of you.

Good luck everyone!

Dragons, you say? Hmm...that's a tough call! I want to enter this one though so I'll have a think.
Good luck everyone, I can't wait to see what you come up with!

WOO HOO on the contest idea....best of luck to all participants

With the folks on ATS, Dragons is bound to get some amazing stories. I think fantasy and sci fi is kind of a staple, bread-n-butter thing for most members here.

In my life I can't tell you how many dragons I have slayed while holding my D20 firmly in hand. The first big box set i ever shelled out cash for was:



We spent a full day killing kobolds while ascending the mountain.

How delightfully droll!

Can we write about Dungeons and Dragons?



Perhaps I will enter if I can come up with something worth reading if not, I'm sure gonna enjoy reading!

Huzzah!

My friends and I are currently trying to stop the Cult of the Dragon from resurrecting the feared Dragon Queen Tiamat!

Playing d&d 5th edition, Hoard of the Dragon Queen.

a reply to: bigfatfurrytexan

Hmm, how to make this work with what I usually do...hmm.

Well, I for one am stumped - But there will be an entry nonetheless.

I too may be making a story contribution as I have great affinity for these marvelous mythical creatures.

Hi, here's the link to my story: "A Letter From A Dragon".

I saw somewhere "winner's announced" so I first thought it was over, but it seems the competition for the topic has just begun.

Well, as long as my story just entertains a little, I'm quite happy.

Here you go, another tale from a non-writer.

Enjoy the twist

PS: No Syx, you didn't make an appearance in this one.

Ohhh, dragons. And just right after I watched the 1 season they have of Surface on Netflix. The synchronization is delicious!

With a month to go, I most definitely plan to whip up a story as short as I can make it. I'll be back with a link soon to the first part of the story.
