I have this nagging feeling that my novel would be much better without the dragons :(

i know! and it's actually the basic premise around which the world is based - but i keep reading all this stuff about how dragons have been done to death and no-one wants to publish them anymore...

Thats unfair to fantasy readers.

i'm sure it's not that bad, some books with dragons still get published, but cliched things like eragon don't help.

I think the main point is that you have to be original, and creative. They don't just want to see the same thing all the time, and a lot of the 'same things' involve dragons.

I just need to make sure my novel is people driven enough, and it will be awesome. :D
