Just want to point out that the Judges don't set the rules for the Factory, we are consulted about them, but the final decision is always left to the Admins, we only make sure that what goes through the section of Factory we are assigned to is not too overpowered and does not stand out from the setting too much.
Now, as one of the Species judges, if I was faced with ruling on a draconic species in the factory, I would not deny it simply because it's a dragon. If you show me that you have really thought your submission through and you put the necessary work into it then I'll approve it, sure. It's not my place to really tell you what you can or can't RP, I write a droid with feelings and ambitions for Galactic peace, maybe you want to write a dragon, more power to you, but what I really look for is work and details. The more powerful the submitted species is the more detailed and fleshed-out I expect it to be.
If I'm going to deny a species it is either because it's a rather, and pardon my Polish here, half-assed submission, there's a major error in it (Like recently I denied a submission because the writer attempted to add a sentient species to a planet where there was supposed to be no sentient species, although I gave them a chance to change the planet and work with me through PM's on that one), or there's just something too breaking like immortality.
Other than that, if you put effort into your submission, I'll respect that and work with you to get your submission cleared through the factory as soon as possible, dragon or not.
