Was the kingdom good or corrupt? Accident or act of war, either from demonkind or antagonistic kingdom/empire/villain? Do you write from perspective of berserk demon or some other party (hero?)?

Third possibility: Raising undead using alternate souls -- imps, daemons, anything that isn't the original soul-- with contract (agreed-upon servitude)

As far as soul=software is concerned: Rather than yoinking a soul from it's afterlife, it might be much easier to copy/paste from a living source. Ethics need not apply. Yes it probably won't be a good fit to the meat puppet, even if you match genders. If you can find a mind that won't go...

There's a story idea there: Souls cannot be (forcibly) incarnated into zombies or skellies,so they need some form of magic Operating System. Necromancer doesn't like either Brainzz!™ or GolemOS™ to run his meat puppets, so he decides to create his own OS ... but it's buggy! And the 'commercial'...

If necromancy exists ANYWHERE secrecy becomes... very difficult. Kill someone 'in the know', then bring them back & interrogate them -- especially if the dead cannot lie. Even the threat is strong. CSI would love necromancers too.

A bit of platypus there ... definitely duckbilled! Not a 'taur, legs have fur not scales. Ducat is a unit of currency; duckat? Platycat?

Dahak (Fifth Imperium) . David Weber, author. Dahak IS the Moon...!

My criteria: Enough armor to ignore crossbows, self-propelled, amphibious, packs at least a .50-cal, fairly simple and reliable, air-conditioning, doesn't need a crew to operate, can fit through most city streets. A DUKW with a Ma Deuce on the pintle mount would fulfill most of these...

As an old dude who's read a LOT of SF, the best of it starts with a single extrapolation, discovery, or invention with possibly a fictional background of reasonable 'future history'. What's going to change? Who's going to oppose that change (built-in antagonist(s))? What's the human cost, whose...

I'm such an old fossil I don't think I've heard any of them; I request my kidnapper use lyrics.com or similar service to let me read the lyrics to all five before choosing one. My aim would be to choose one that isn't rap. Probably choose either 1 or 2; have vaguely 'anti-meme' negative response...

While those who tried to eat the indestructible peanut seek out dentists, I pick it up & sell it to a materials -research company for a million dollars. Not vicious enough to try keeping it

Grammar corrections are love, not hate. The reader took the time to note it. correct it, & post-it to you; you don't have to make your eyeballs bleed proofreading to find it. In search of perfection!

USDA just approved Iluprost injection to treat severe frostbite, works up to 72 hours after. It's Vasodilator drug. -20 C is no fun at all; good gloves or mittens mandatory

Baen ebooks.com - the Free Library. Has a monthly fiction short-story & a monthly nonfiction article. Collected, by year, effectively a magazine. Good stuff! And if you like SF, you can buy a monthly bundle of ebooks that's well worth it, considering the average paperback will run you $7.99...

Or for true nonhuman perspective, consider female who does the deed, lays tens of thousands of eggs, and goes away. Tortoises make nests, lay eggs, go back to sea ... Although Patriarch in this case would have dam little to work with, if sex is merely copulation once!

Interesting point, but the fundamental flaw is that the matchmaking should be matriarchal. Given Dragon= Power, sex is by female's consent -- no rapist could survive the attempt(eviscerated with claws? Incinerated by dragon breath? Or throat ripped out with teeth?). Only social forces, or...

Is he trying to matchmake dragons, or his kidnapped human princesses? I'd read the second, not the first

Reptiles. Tastier.

I'd live in one, it'd be a considerable step up. Power, water, sewer, cable, windows/lighting -- all would need to be installed. Plus a decently progressive town/city/county board to allow/inspect, & equally flexible neighborhood homeowners association if any (might worry it would drive down...

Sounds like it might be smarter to write & edit on your own computer with your own WP app, & port only the final version. Although if they can pirate the posted version keeping your roughs separate would only help in proving authorship
