OOC: Draconomicon

[sythyry]

A bit of OOC stuff about the dragon novel. Only in sythyry 'cause it's a poll.

In this irromantic story about dragons, I want to have words for male and female dragons that sound a bit less clinical than "male" and "female". "Dragoness" is fine for female.

I've been using "drake" for "male dragon".

Which is sort of sensible, 'cause that word (a) is sometimes used for a dragon, and (b) is sometimes used for a male (of another species).

Draco/Draca maybe? Although that starts to sound more like a title and less like a species indicator. "The Draca of Brisbane will be dining with us tonight". Although, depending on the type of story you're working on, that might work well.
