1) I have so many favorites among your fics. :) But I guess what I'd most like to ask about is the "On the Wings of the Dawn" series. How did you get the idea to give James secret wings? And what was the world building process like for that story?

2) James/Robbie. :)

I'd read a couple of wingfics in other fandoms. I liked the concept, but those stories had been handled as fantasy or science fiction, and while I enjoy those genres, I wanted something more realistic. So I decided to make wings a very, very rare genetic mutation. One in a million, meaning that there were perhaps 60-something winged people in the UK ( ... )

I really liked that about the series, that it treated wings as a relatively straightforward thing that exists in a world much like ours. I thought the worldbuilding was wonderful, and it sounds as though it was a lot of fun for you as well! I love the level of detail you went into. :) (And I would totally watch those Scarlet Hawk movies.)

Thank you so much for your answers; I enjoyed reading them. :)

Thank you for asking. Perhaps I'll write a ficlet at some point in which James and Robbie have a home film fest with Scarlet Hawk movies. James, of course, has never seen them, other than a brief clip on YouTube.

You're welcome! Ooh, that would be fantastic, if you were so inclined/inspired! So James hasn't seen them…are they secretly Robbie's favorites? :)

Also, I am working on your story now, and it's a fun one to work out.
