Yes, I saw you say that on your aar thread. I'm writing about... dragon banners. While, I'm being in a joking mood, in all seriousness my book(s) contain them aplenty. I'm writing fantasy done right (TM). My childhood was ruled by visions of Dune, (all praise Frank Herbert) while in my college years I found Cherryh's well written aliens (see the Atevi for instance)... add countless history books on top, and some historical fantasy such as that written by Gavriel Kay, and the formula for "fantasy done right" came to me at the last. So I'm slavering on a trilogy that I hope will be quite amazing to those used to the more conventional Tolkienesque inspired drivel, and will hopefully do well enough in a slugfest with better written stuff, such as Martin's Saga of Ice and Fire. Besides my "fantasy done right" stuff, I'm also working on a historical fantasy novel, much like this aar in many ways , (with 10x the polish and 100x the length) but that one will most likely never find a publisher... more's the pity.
