I've shared with you guys my art but now let me show you some of my writing. This is the Dragon's World series! Dragon's World is one of my favorite creations and I one day hope to publish the series. The sequel is nearing its conclusion and is currently expected to end before the end of the year. After that I have three more stories planned: A midquel that takes place during the sequel, a prequel, and another sequel that will serve as the final installment. Here are the links:

Now keep in mind as you read through the first story that I wrote it when I was just starting out as a writer so there are numerous spelling errors, grammatical errors and such. I am in the process of rewriting it.
-
You can go to a grammarly website (http://www.grammarly.com/) and try them out for errors.
-
Well right now I'm currently in the process of rewriting the chapters from the first story and the rewritten chapters are what I will (hopefully) be publishing.
So have you read the stories? What do you think?
-
Its a decent story. ;)
I've only got the chance to read chapter 1 and 2 but I think I understand the story so far. Its about a thirteen year old boy who lives in California and oddly grows a dragon tail with a mind of its own.
And Disco Burger sounds like a place I would find in Las Vegas! :lol:
-
Well the story gets deeper than that as it progresses. I won't spoil anything.
To be honest, I'm none too fond of the first story because of all the grammar and spelling errors I made. I'm currently rewriting the chapters because I hope to get this series published someday. The revisioned chapters are truly a lot better than what I posted on DA. They also display the character's personalities much better.

RE-EDIT:
I stopped reading at about chapter 5. I didn't see a single problem with the narrative, grammar or anything. It was pretty interesting for me, nothing was confusing at all. but it felt like chapter 5 was rushed, so I stopped. Nothing but praise though...
and from what I can tell, you like transformation? :smile Pretty sweet, I have a friend who's into that as well. Nothing dirty of course...
-
I don't remember much about when I wrote the first story as it was almost four years ago but I do agree with the fifth chapter being rushed. I couldn't come up with anything truly interesting for the chapter except for Titus recieving his dragon name.
And yeah, I think transformation is pretty cool. Well except for the dirty stuff that is. I used to do TF stories but I stopped for a few reasons, one reason being that doing those stories eventually began to feel more like a job than a hobby and I wanted to focus more on developing my art. I do TF pictures from time to time.
I'm glad you liked the story. Like I was telling oogaboo, I'm currently rewriting the first story. The plot will be the same but the characters are going to have more personality, the chapters will be longer, etc. It's my hope that I'll be able to get the series published.
-
Well I wish you luck. Publication is a challenge within itself.
-
Thanks man. That really means a lot. I've also got a comic I want to make into a graphic novel. Now that's gonna be an even bigger challenge.

Just to revive a pretty old topic, I'm currently writing the third book in the series. http://animeboye.deviantart.com/gallery/4312713 (http://animeboye.deviantart.com/gallery/4312713)
If anyone here is interested in reading the rest of the series, please let me know what you think. Any advice on how to improve the Dragon's World series is welcomed.
