Choice of the Dragon
I have discovered a fun online game. It's called Choice of the Dragon, and in it you play a young dragon setting out to make his, her, or its mark on the world by terrorizing villages, amassing gold, and even, if it floats your boat, kidnapping princesses.
A full game takes about half an hour to play through. Watch out for the adventurers who show up about halfway through - those things are dangerous.
Although . . . Isn't it a little sexist to always kidnap princesses? ( ) Maybe, but tradition demands that dragons kidnap princesses, even if that is sexist. ( ) You dare question my actions? ( ) You know, I never thought about that before. In fact, I think I kidnapped a prince, just to avoid being sexist. ( ) I'll have you know that I make a careful point of alternating between princes and princesses, but it happened to be time for a princess.

I think girl dragons should kidnap princes as a standard maneuver. But "You dare question my actions" is the proper response to any human trying to bring up the subject.

And as for princesses: Queens and princesses actually have more political power than kings and princes -- kings and princes may fight in crusades, but it's the princesses and queens who do all the diplomacy, and political maneuvering. So losing a princess is a greater risk to a kingdom than losing a prince, therefore, a princess is a more important bargaining chip.
(also, I wanted feathery wings -- and wasn't given that choice!)
