For five years I ran a Dragon Challenge, which opened for sign-ups on St George's Day (23rd April) and went live on D-Day (6th June).

I signed up for the recent Dragon Big Bang Challenge, which seems to have died an unspectacular death, more's the pity. Absence of deadlines does my writing no favours! But I decided to post the story on D-Day anyway, so here it is.

This is a sequel to Dragon Country (also on AO3). In a world not unlike our own, Lance is an employment agent specialising in showbiz, Chris is a mechanic, JC is a sculptor and Adam Lambert wears dragon-hide boots. (NB Story carries a rape warning.)

Perceptions of Reality focuses more on Chris and JC. As the story begins, JC is preparing for the exhibition of his and Britney's art. Thanks to chalcopyrite andbrandywine28 for the betas.

Thank you. A very nice day was had!

Happy birthday!

That's such a shame the dragon big bang has gone under.

Thank you! Yes, it's a pity—I've enjoyed the chance to write more popslash dragons, and chalcopyrite produced a lovely Pern Trickyfish for the earlier one.

Happy birthday!!!

And yay story! I *love* the cover! (That's as far as I've gotten on this read!)

I was really happy with a couple of the images I found for the artwork! Hope you enjoy the ending. :-)

Thank you! I hope it'll be a worthy sequel.

It's too bad the Dragon BB petered out like that, but go you! for managing to finish your story anyway!

And a slightly late Happy birthday!!! Here's some virtual cake for you *points towards icon*

It was a shame—members of the community started posting their stories anyway, although the schedule just kinda disappeared, but what a pity! I'm glad I had a dragon deadline available to me, or I might never have finished it.

I managed awesome cheesecake yesterday!
