May. 5th, 2015 10:50 am I just had the neatest idea for a dystopia type story with a little girl (first thought was boy, but why?) who finds an odd egg and decides to hatch it since animals are so expensive to purchase due to global warming and eco-disaster. The egg hatches and turns out to be a dragon (more Eastern than Western) which heralds a new age into which dragons first clean up the ecosystems and then dominate trade and such to keep the Earth healthy.

Date: 2015-05-05 08:41 pm (UTC)And now my brain just said okay the eco-disaster is good but what about the Wild West? And now I am imagining Robber Barons as dragons and holy shit that could be cool. Different clans clashing over using resources vs preserving. I wonder if there are any Native America dragon myths. I know South America has Quetzalcoatl.
Anyway, I should mention I have a panic job at work to get through and then hopefully get back to Quin.

Date: 2015-05-05 10:00 pm (UTC)I think there might be two stories here.
Oh, and I think I know what to use as the base for the Wild West one! I had an idea of a dragon hiring a human to teach it how to behave more human like. Like a personal assistant and coach.

Date: 2015-05-06 04:34 am (UTC)Quinlan head canon: In the early days of his apprenticeship to Tholme, Quin was very stressed as Tholme would constantly surprise/startle him. It evolved into a low key game of assassin.
As the working titles for those two stories will be Eco-dragons and Wild Wild Wyrms. Not the final titles but I need something to call them. = ]
