[QUOTE="GQuail, post: 2884796, member: 30709"] I have no interest in fiction in Dragon whatsoever. I pick up the magazine for D&D material, and fiction just isn't that high on my agenda. If I wanted to read a book or a short story, I would buy a book, a colleciton of short stories, or a magazine where fiction was the focus. Of course, I do appreciate that game world fiction probably appeals to quite a lot of gamers: I've never been that mad keen on any one D&D game world, but in my Warhammer days I quite enjoyed reading the misc stories that peppered GW products. I guess if you're a big FR fan or what have you, then reading a little blurb in that world would be quite cool: but the multi-page stories with illustrations we get tend to just be "lost pages" to me. I would not miss it if it went away altogether, and whoever is writing it tends not to even cross my mind before I flip past it. I don't curse it's existence: everyone has to accept a magazine like Dragon is going to be written to appeal to lots of people, and that not every article will be perfect for them. But to me, it's just a complete non-event. [/QUOTE]
