About Dragons

So, I'm just starting to write a story with a huge Dragon as the protagonist. He, or she will have previously been a 14 year old boy, you know the drill. I am have been reading Anne McCaffery, so my Dragon will not hatch or be fighting strings. It bothers me that one of the story devices I plan to use is that my Dragon will draw his power from another dimension, but I can not remember who originated that concept on this site, so I can ask permission to use it.

There will be no religion in the story, cultural or otherwise. I will use conventional sexual role models.

I am trying to better understand this venue so I can write more popular stories perhaps. This in preparation to entering into writing for the general public.

My efforts here may be entirely futile, though I do write very successfully at a site where we debate various Theological and Anthropological issues. Maybe my trying to write TG stories is a bit out of my league, a bit like trying to teach a square dancer the boogie? Though the relative success of a couple of my stories confuses me.

Any advice?
