blkstarsapphire asked for a story about dragons.

The first fictional world I can remember being able to visualize is Pern. Namely, it was the trio of books about Menolly and her fire lizards. I could see them in my mind; I dreamt about them sometimes; I drew sketches of fire lizards and dragons for irisl.

Because of my weekend experience at Fort Weyr this summer, I have been trying to write some fic to explain how exactly El'wyn came to be at the Hatching Grounds and accidentally adopting a green hatchling. The little green dragonlet statue created by mewsgryphoncat to symbolize my dragon catches my eye just about every morning, reminding me that there is a story yet to be told.

Some days, I have trouble meeting his glassy eyes because I feel guilty for not being able to follow the trail of his story far enough to set anything to "paper."

My mom still, every once in a blue moon, talks about the dragons I used to draw for her and bemoans the accidental loss of said photos. It reminds me that I was told I had talent for such things, and that I didn't have the opportunity in school to really stretch those muscles very much, so that now they've atrophied much more than my writings muscles have.

But. Maybe someday I'll find inspiration to put the fantasy of webbed wings and reptilian beaks on paper once again.

However. If what was being sought was, indeed, a story about dragons?

I give you steampunk dragons, written by two of our fellow LJers, ladyjaida and danibennett. *nod*
