All Comments on 'A Dragon's Tale Ch. 18'

A nice twist at the end there. Don't worry about the schedule, I, at least, know that the holidays can interfere with plans.

Sunshine about your formatting made the drago's name unviewable. Literotica needs to stop allowing characters that fucking break their site.

Great story as always, curious to learn what the difference between a Drago and a dragon is.

Hey AP,

GREAT to get a new dose of your writing. Hits the spot! FYI I'd encourage you to find and listen to Mozart's Piano Concerto 25. It's a beautiful piece in its own right, but relating to the comment about being 320k words into harem story without a harem scene - it's over 3 minutes into the first movement of A PIANO concerto before you hear a single note from a piano, and even then its just a few single notes. It is stunning, masterful and exquisite. So don't sweat taking your time to get to the good stuff - and making it masterful and exquisite.

Keep up the great work.

My god, you're an amazing writer.

Doubled on the formatting errors at the end. Literotica really needs to get their shit together and modernize the website.

Also... Once a month is not *nearly* frequently enough, especially when I have to wait for the next chapter!

I just submitted an edit to fix the word "Drago" not appearing, and sorry about that, HTML is so sensitive; it must be perfect or it breaks. I think I'll start doing my final read-through on the Lit preview page instead of my Word file to make sure that doesn't happen again.

Thank you for a great start to my morning and the new year. Nothing like curling up with a steaming mug of coffee and a great story.

The transition between the two realms is really well-handled so far. I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality of each new chapter. Thanks.

Do you want to know about errors?

Doesn't Ethan have family that he wants to say goodbye to.

Another good installment in a great series. Keep up the good work! It’s definitely something to look forward to at the end of the month.

A great hug... Yeah. Those are so effing powerful. Kendra didn't stand a chance against it. She's so vulnerable to them with how she's lived her life, and how it feels to her. Some people can go without, but its gnawed at her.

A Drago, you say? Ohhh, do I want to know this new character well. And even better, its just a little larger than Ethan? Ohhhhhhhhhh, Illuminar, this one's a smart and very powerful one aren't they? Didn't go for the easy way out just getting bigger and thicker, they kept their magic compact, and oh so versatile.

On a different note... I think... just maybe... Alana might have a solution for Ethan's broadcast communication query. She may not know that she does... but if what she feels leads where we all hope it does... That *might* be a solution. Seems reasonable to me. ^.^

Thank you so much for this story. Glad I saved it for today. In so much better a mood after the crazy day I've had. Be well, and eagerly yet patiently awaiting the next installment.

P.S. Best of luck and wishes for Jason, Melinda, and of course Hailey. Yeah... consensual love being illegal... just seems wrong. Though, considering all the humans in the world, we don't even have to look very hard or long to see instances of abuse of any kind of power or laxing of the law. Still... to punish actual love... It would be better if we were better. Here's to hoping the year of drinking does better than the year of hindsight. One day, we'll look back and see if it ended up being true or not.

I am aggrieved at the tag attached to such a wonderful story. The last tag you added is very very harsh and unjustified. Ok, I understand that many men and most women in modern society frown upon polygamy, but it is unjustified. Can you point out a single phrase in the Bible that says unequivocally that even bigamy is a sin, or wrong. Martin Luther could not. And yes THE MARTIN LUTHER. king David, the chosen of God had many wives, so did King Solomon the wise, so did Abraham the patriarch of Jews, Muslims, AND CHRISTIANS.

And tell me how is a man being married to multiple women, with affection between the women, and the full knowledge and agreement of the women concerned, and full legitimacy to them and their children WORSE than an adulterous man. Cheating on your wife and your lover (her children are called bastards) is better because nobody gets the C**** title.

By now you are probably thinking, "oh, he is one of those Muslims/orthodox Jews/Zulus......". Sorry to disappoint you but I have only one wife and nothing on the side either--EVER. Basically, what you did is make a LOVELY wedding cake, with exquisite detail and fantastic taste --AND DROPPED A TURD ON IT.

Great story. Keep up the good work!!

I'm sorry you feel that way.

My understanding is that a "cuckquean" is a woman who derives sexual pleasure and/or satisfaction from seeing her husband make love to other women. There are various types, (some loving and consensual, some cheating, some dominating/humiliating) but that's the basic definition. None of these ladies are into the degradation or cheating stuff (nor am I, which is hopefully obvious from the story) so that won't be a theme in this story.

In a healthy polygyous marriage, It seems to me the wives would have this trait: That is not minding - and hopefully enjoying - their husband making love to his other wives (often with their involvement). That fits the definition, which is why I added the tag.

I also added it because some people - myself included - search for it because we enjoy a good loving cuckquean story. There's many stories of that type, but few with the tag. (which makes them hard to find) To anyone reading this who writes similar stories, please add the "cuckquean" tag so we can find each other. :)

Ethan needs to stop by a pawn shop to trade some silver for guns and ammo. Just saying 338 lapua or 50 bmg would probability do some long range damage to a dragon. Also arming everyone on the ship with light weight cut down (18-20" barrel) 20 Guage pump shotguns would do wonders for ship security. Cheap, reloadable and easy for girls to handle.

I love the progression - this is a very interesting tale.

on the hug -- remember

"Hugs. Nothing free gives so much to someone else."

(Bebop3 in Salting the Earth - paraphrased)....

You should put this story under non-erotic. Thanks.

Threesome could become a foursome?

This is one of the best, well written, stories I have read in a long time.

Just come across this story, have binge read all chapters and look forward to more.

Loved the movie references - clever!

You're a talented writer! I have not been able to stop since I started this fabulous tale. Please don't stop like so many others without a finish.

-- I'm a little disappointed that the Ambulance EMT's were not shown to do any blood typing, when treating a woman from another world, ... I assume that they just gave Beth some O- blood (universal donor), but they were taking a risk as they didn't know that the story's author (and Illuminar) would have it all work out! Oh well, ... THIS IS A REALLY ADDICTING TALE, ... ;-) TTFN

Loving this Dragon's Tale, in spite of all the typos, wrong words, dropped words and letters, and added/unnecessary letters, ... you are correct, editing is not your strong suit, ... ;-) TTFN

I have to say it. I love the characters in this story. The conversation between Taloni and Kendra on the Argo was nice. The conversation afterwards? Taloni is now my favorite character. When she said "Can I give you a hug?" It moved me so much. Even when I knew what she was going to say.

Excellent character work and drawing the reader into feeling with the characters and for them. Just one thing I thought was out of place. When Rachel was doing that ribbon dance. I loved the scene and I could picture it clearly. It just seemed a little showy, and out of place. Maybe if she had done this before or something similar. Every time I can think of outside of combat, it's just been make a ball of fire. I'm not sure if she was showing off for the paramedics, or what. It seemed odd they are in a world where mana takes longer to replenish. Like she was wasting mana for no important reason? There is still the necromancer around, and it seems like she would like another crack at him.

Just my praise, and thoughts,

Buddy J.

This is still great.

You started to really lose me as a reader when you started going back to earth.

This plus we as readers have to correct your lack of editing in our minds as we read. Find an editor to make it easier to read for us. Sorry but this was the last chapter il be reading if yours.

It started out as a good story.
