    Pondering other worlds, whether those be the distant worlds in our own universe, or the worlds we can enter through the stories of others.
    ...
    Speaking of which, here are some worlds/stories that I like, in no particular pattern or order (though this is probably in need of some updating):
    The Cosmere
    Avatar: The Last Airbender
    The Legend of Zelda
    The Xenoblade Chronicles series
    Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and adjacent books
    Project Hail Mary
    The Remembrance of Earth's Past
    Dune
    Interstellar
    Arrival
    Inception
    Tenet
    Princess Mononoke
    Castle in the Sky
    Fullmetal Alchemist
    Star Wars
    ...And probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting. This list is not comprehensive.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for writing a story in which the protagonist is a young boy who forms a bond with a dragon-like creature and has to raise it without it feeling like an Eragon rip-off?

      Basically just don't set it in a farm, don't make them basically Luke Skywalker, do not make them the chosen one unless you can make it different in some way or nuanced far more, don't make him an orphan, do not make his uncle against his whole thing, do not make the world a total rip off of other stuff, make it distinct in some way, make him not have a name that sounds like Strider.

      Okay, I just saw your reply. I don't think you'll have too many problems. As long as the plot and the world building is pretty good, you can rely on more tropey things. Just give it your own flair.

      It's also a romance. (No, not with the dragon-bird-creature-thingy...why would you think that?)

      yes w/ the dragon-bird-creature-thingy, it's a logical twist on a classic tale! i will make an au out of this. perhaps. don't bet on it.
