Hmm...well, that's kind of a random 'genre'. But it would make it easier to get up to the top of the columns... :-P

LOL, wingfic was a short-lived but fun genre from many years ago. :)

I love how you say that. :)

That is a fascinating idea that Gimli should have wings!I've only read stories before with Hobbits having them,but great fun to imagine the least likely flying!
Author's reply
That *was* the fun of this first little scene -- the "least likely" indeed. :)

Bravo! Excellent answer to a question that I oft wondered about. Of course, if you hadn't put the disclaimer about wings, I'd still be scratching my head. I loved that you pulled an 'OH' out of me as I read the first paragraph! Excellent idea!
Author's reply
Thank you so much. It's fun to "stretch our wings" when we write. :)

So dwarves and some hobbits have wings eh? What a cute image!
Author's reply
Thanks, BB. These were fun. :)
Larner · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 2: A Debt Repaid
And Pippin has wings, too? All right--gonna have to find out how these were used....
Author's reply
Thank you for reading! This is a fun genre in which to play.
Larner · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 1: The Secret of Khazad-Dûm
Dwarves have WINGS and can fly? Heh! Yes, this would be something difficult to expect Pippin to keep concealed! Okay....

Isn't Middle-earth a wonderful place? There's no end to what we can imagine. :)
Grey Wonderer · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 2: A Debt Repaid
This is the first wing fic I've ever read. I don't know how I missed them the first time around but I don't know that I'd ever heard of them before. I guess there was more fairie blood in the Tooks than anyone expected! : )
Author's reply
I guess there was! Hobbits are such amazing creatures, aren't they? :)
Grey Wonderer · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 1: The Secret of Khazad-Dûm
Not that is a very interesting idea! It would explain quite a lot about Gimli and the accomplishments of the Dwarves!
Author's reply
You never know about Dwarves and their secretive lives. Wings... why not?
Cuthalion · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 2: A Debt Repaid
*laughs* Lovely, just lovely. And now I imagine the dwarves, sailing around the huge pillars of Khazad-Dûm...
Author's reply
Thank you. It's a fun image, isn't it? Sailing and singing and having a grand old time.
Nesa · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 2: A Debt Repaid
I Love Wingfics! Where may I find more? Hugs to you, Nessa
Author's reply
Aren't they fun? It's been several years since I've thought about these. There are several wingfics posted at Fanfiction.net by Ancalime8301.
Andrea · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 2: A Debt Repaid
Very nice, shirebound! I enjoyed those two corresponding ficlets a great deal! When I read your summary about what a Wingfic is, the first association that came into my mind was in fact Pippin! Strange, isn't it? Maybe it was because of the peregrine ;-)
Author's reply
Thank you, Andrea. You were most perceptive about what you might find in this little fic! :)
Pearl Took · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 2: A Debt Repaid
Ah! No wonder he was able to keep the secret!! Hehehe :-) I like the idea of Pippin with wings, though I think (for obvious reasons) I would have gone for gossamer ones ;-) These are adorable shirebound, thank you for posting them :-)
Author's reply
I'm so happy you enjoyed these, Pearl.
Pearl Took · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 1: The Secret of Khazad-Dûm
That young Peregrin could keep such a secret is as much a wonder as what he saw :-) Wonderful!!
Author's reply
Thanks, Pearl!
Lindelea · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 2: A Debt Repaid
"like a baby bird" indeed!
Author's reply
In so many ways... *grins* These were such fun to write.
Lindelea · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 1: The Secret of Khazad-Dûm
Ha, did you even mention wings in that fic? Very subtly done!
Author's reply
Thank you! :)
harrowcat · 26 August 2007 · Chapter 2: A Debt Repaid
I was grinning like mad when I read these over on the other site. Now I am positively chuckling (well I have to be quiet 'cos I am at work!) I wasn't around on the internet when this craze happened. Would love to see more!
Author's reply
Thank you. So would I!! I'd adore it if this strange little genre could have a resurgence. It's such fun to let our imaginations... well, take wing. :)
