Completely off-topic, and -- Hi, you don't know me....
I saw your comment on the Read_HP community regarding interest in the different breeds of dragons. You might like Naomi Novik's series that starts with His Majesty's Dragon.
She's a veteran fanfic author whose original work got published last year & the rights were immediately snapped up by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings movie fame. It's an alternate history set during the Age of Sail (England is at war with Napoleon) where dragons & their pair-bonded riders are a branch of the armed forces. Think an Earthside version of Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern series crossed over with Master and Commander.
The narration of the books is in a somewhat formal style (in keeping with and appropriate for the main character's POV), which some people found offputting but I loved. Check it out.
