Guys! I've never fought a Dragon before... How on earth am I supposed to write this next scene?
Post Body

Now I get the gist of these posts. You're a (Typically Young I'll Assume) writer who wants to make sure that their labor of love doesn't read like "A Journey Through Middle Earth" as written by Kim Kardashian. But for the love of all that is Blighted, PLEASE realize that as an author, you’re going to be writing about countless things one assumes you’ve not done before. And unless you’re putting together a dissertation on the subject matter (And even if in some cases…), it’s Okay to get some of the details wrong.

Beyond that the answer is universally, 100% of the time, going to be the same blasted answer no matter the subject matter in question. RESEARCH! I’m not really sure what you’re looking for when you ask this question. If you’re of another species capable of brain to brain experience transfer, then I’m sorry for excluding you in this summary, but for the rest of us, RESEARCH. If you’re interested in knowing what something is like… Look. It. Up.

Don’t get me wrong. If you want to ask, “[Research] What are some good resources for stories by a Vulkan Pon Farr Counselor”, by all means, Let us Google that for you. And who knows who has their own stories to tell, or what awesome hidden packets of knowledge someone may have to impart. But please stop asking how you can write something you’ve never done.

Now seriously guys… how am I going to write this scene? The only experience I have with Dragons is that one time a Red Dragon was flying overhead and took a hot [Censored for Sanity].

EDITED TO ADD: Dragon's Dead Everybody! Thanks for all the Help! Turns out "Dragon" was that villages slang for Layabout... so the battle was much easier than anticipated. ;P If you're just now joining us, the word of the day is "Research".
