Our Mission Statement
Dragons are one of the many subjects that writers love, because there is so much to work with. So many legends and tales of dragons exist, and in so many places. Everyone knows what a dragon is, and many have written of them in various ways. Here, you can read poems and essays by me and by a few others in the Dracopedia, or submit your own work for recognition via our "Submit Your >insert work type<" pages.
Dragons and Us
Not many people understand my hobby: dragonology. It is often dismissed as a waste of time, and of resources. The following is an excerpt from the website http://colba.net/~tempest.
"The dragon has always been slandered and misjudged, persecuted and hounded by man, simply because they are different. Like so many other living beings, he has experienced death and persecution in the name of so-called superiority of civilized man."
Pretty nice, huh? Doesn't it seem odd that every culture, around the entire world, has a story of some kind about a massive flying lizard, one that breathes fire, yet science claims it doesn't exist? They said that the ceolocanths were extinct, too, but guess what was eventually found? A living ceolocanth.
Regardless of whether dragons are or were real, they have pushed themselves into human art and literature since the dawn of time. The legend of the great fire breathing dragon will continue to be a bedtime story told for years to come. On the big screen and television, in art, in poetry, in songs and legends, the mighty and majestic dragon makes his presence known. So come one, come all, and behold a being that is the subject of mankind’s deepest wonder and fear.
The dragon.
