    Re: Dragons with folded wings....

    The whole concept is entirely different to Avatar or any other movie with dragons in it such as Dragonheart or Eragon.

    perhaps better to stay on paper (and on the boundless canvas of our imaginations)than be ruined by a poor film version?

    I've been speanding the past few days listening to lots of Pern Filk. Anne's books were almost as popular of a subject as Trek. But, I can say the filk about Pern is almost always more serious the the Trek stuff.
