Charming piece of fantasy meta-fiction as a mother tells (or tries to tell) her daughter the story of a dragon and a young girl, the details changes following comment by the daughter.
Scrap Dragon was a favorite piece for 2012. The daughter’s stubborn re-writing of the mother’s story had me laughing all the way through the story. I’ve been reading other work by Naomi Kritzer, but the sense of humor she displays in this story is singular. Highly recommended!
