Over the last, hm, month or so, many people have been learning about this mysterious concept called “the omegaverse.” If you’re new to it, learning about it can be a bit like getting cold water dumped over your head. It’s one of those things that, if you know, you know. It lurks around the edges of fandom; it divides a lot of people; but if you like it, you really like it. And a lot of people...
People like to argue fanfic isn't real literature and popular works have no artistic merit. But Charles Dickens wrote soap operas, so is "artistic merit" even a thing?

Cad Lewis, ex-soldier and disgraced war hero, left Earth ten years ago to start fresh on the planet Librae. He just wants to run his farm, and he mostly does ...
Until the dragon Drake comes crashing into his life.
In the realm of Riding the Dragon, it certainly is. Drake posits at one point that everything Cad thinks is magic is actually just science—science that might be beyond his comprehension or understanding at the moment.That leads to a question: Is what we consider “magic” just science? Many people will argue no, but it stands to reason. Looking to Mythology One of the reasons this theory stands up...
