I don't know about easy or not, but I've been having a lot of fun writing Smauglock (aka Sherlock from BBC's Sherlock is the dragon Smaug from the Hobbit) fic.You an do all kinds of interesting things playing with dragon stereotypes.
Wow--that seems like a perfect fit. I can see Sherlock as a dragon easily. It's been a bazillion years since I've read The Hobbit, so I don't really recall the dragon's personality.
Well I can't really take credit for the Smauglock thing. That should go to the brilliant casting directors for The Hobbit who, after already making the extremely well-advised choice to cast Martin Freeman (aka John Watson) as Bilbo, followed it by casting Benedict Cumberbatch (aka Sherlock Holmes) as Smaug.
Personality-wise Smaug is vain, selfish, self-centered, proud... pretty much Sherlock without the squishy John-loving underbelly.
