I'm having the OH NO THIS NOVEL IS JUST LIKE MINE blues. But my novel where the magic is vaguely ripped off from feng shui doesn't have cross-dressing or dragons in it! ...Which, since that's the mood I'm in, makes me think that it isn't exciting enough and needs to have more cross-dressing dragons in it.

Oh well. If all those vampire novels can exist together in harmony, I guess hope there's room for my book too.

If I can still be enamored of Zap which is so spiritually similar to Spades although it had much more plot that makes much more sense, you're novel can be just as cool or more than something with flashy cross dressing dragons XD

I like gritty realism anyway, so a little steampunk and inserted magic is totally more than enough. You can create something cooler than that that's not gimmicky anyway!

Well, do look into Eon: Dragoneye Reborn, which is the one I'm talking about, although I think you would find the prose too pedestrian -- not crossdressing dragons, but crossdressing and very satisfactorily Chinese dragons.

Chinese dragons or no, you have slain my interest with that word 'pedestrian.' Indifferent prose will kill the best book for me: it's yet another unhappy side-effect of subvocalization.

Fine. I shall write the cross-dressing dragons myself and model them on 12K's king of Han. So there!
