Hey Brimstone, have you read the sequels to "Dealing With Dragons"? They're not quite as good, but it's a great way to continue the story.

Really, it depends on the writer. There are no good dragons in Middle-earth, for example. Anne McCaffrey *grumble* has good dragons, (they're all a bit dim witted, though, and way oversexed, just like their humans [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] ). There are also some good dragons in this book I bought on Friday "The Dark Lord of Derkholm" (and there's a dwarf named Galdriel! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]).

I think all dragons in the real world, though, are quite wicked. Like Frank Peretti's dragon. *shiver* They, sadly but most likely, are demons or something of the like.

The dragons in my stories are like people: some are good by nature, some bad by nature, some can be turned from good to bad and vice versa and some are just jerks. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
