Are Fairies the “Next Big Thing?”

Although Vampires are currently riding the crest of the wave with True Blood and Twilight–and who isn’t a fan of the fang?–there are those that feel the next big thing belongs to the fae.    Hollywood is poised and ready to serve up a couple of fairy/faery related movies based on two very popular series of books.

Wings
This past July, it was announced that Miley Cyrus was set to star in Disney’s adaptation of Aprilynne Pike’s teenage faerie tale novel “Wings,” which centers around a 15-year-old named girl named Laurel (played by Miley).  For Laurel, life becomes very complicated when she discovers a bump on her back as she is starting public school for the first time.  It turns out that the bump grows into wings, and she is a human sized fairy.  Of course, she also has two love interests–David,  her best friend at school and a mysterious guy name Tamani that she meets in the woods.  This popular teen novel is the first of a series of 4 planned novels.

Wicked Lovely
In September, Variety reported that Universal had  “acquired screen rights to Wicked Lovely,’ the bestselling first book in a fantasy series written by Melissa  Marr  (which) will see its fourth installment published next year by Harper Collins.”  “Wicked” is an intriguing  story about Aislinn, a 17 year old girl who can see fairies but has been taught by her grandmother to pretend she that she doesn’t.   She has  been admonished never to do anything to attract the faeries’ attention–things are much safer that way.  But everything changes when she realizes that a faery king has taken human form in order to get her to marry him  and save the world from his vengeful mother.

“Wicked,” looks to be an edgier production than “Wings” because it is being adapted by Caroline Thompson who also did “Edward Scissorhands” and  “The Nighmare Before Christmas.” According to Christoper Campbell of MTV News, this could be the movie to “bring newfound respect to faeries as cinematic subject matter in their own right (instead of just their usual supporting roles in movies like “Willow”).”  Could be some exciting days ahead for fans of the fae!

    Hi Navneeta,

    You’re not being rude :)

    There could be two books with a similar title but the “Wings” I’m talking about is by Aprilynne Pike. If you click on this link, you can see the book listed on Amazon.

    Hope this clears up your confusion!

    Hello i suppose faeries will most likely become the the next big thing hmm but im curious if elves will be to.

  11. adminNo Gravatar Says:

    Elves may not get the spotlight until The Hobbit comes out in Dec, 2011 and then everything will be “elvish” again.

  12. kalvinNo Gravatar Says:

    hello,i suppose your right

  13. bri3No Gravatar Says:

    ugh it bothers me so much that they would have such a wonderful subject and story and they ruin it by using the actor MILEY CYRUS. as you can see, not a big fan. in fact, not one at all.

  15. danteNo Gravatar Says:

    hey yeah nowone is answering my question!!!!i posted it on a general dicussion , and on a”7 ways to..”!!!my question is how to attract a elve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. danteNo Gravatar Says:

    plus whats Hobbit

  17. adminNo Gravatar Says:

    Dante,

    Yes, I see…you seem a bit uh…impatient for the answer, so here you go.

    There is no magic formula for attracting elves. Basically, the elves will decide if they want to communicate with you or not. You can do all the things I have suggested on the “attracting fairies” post here, and #3 here and that might help you have the right mind set that would attract them. Also, you might look into meditation which is the first place that I encountered them.

    Hope that helps,
    Natalie

    PS: “The Hobbit” is a book written by JRR Tolkien – the same person who wrote “The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.” They are currently working on making a movie based on “The Hobbit.”

    Miley as Laurel???? I can’t imagine that! she doesnt look like Laurel, i do! hahha, i hope they find someone else to play her, i mean sure miley is alright, but then i’d prefer if they found someone who is not well known so it would make the movie better…i love the book wings!!!!!!!!!

  26. danteNo Gravatar Says:

    sorry your no icky i ment your LUCKY lol sorry …Fairy dust!!!

  27. Lisa A.No Gravatar Says:

    Hi everyone! Cindy I think your mother is wrong about witches being able to turn into orbs. Witches are humans who practice witchcraft.

    Faeries, Elves , Gnomes and even human souls can appear as orbs- I have a very strong feeling that the orbs you saw in your dream were of the Faerykind.

    The Faery will appear in various color orbs or lights.

    Whle there are many faeries, gnomes, elves and all who work out of love- and are not from the dark side, there are those of every caste (especially humans) that gravitate to the dark side- All intelligent life has a choice to choose love or hate., light or dark.

    I saw some of those videos on You Tube of the gnomes in Mexico, etc, and the one I think was labled,”creepy dancing gnome” ,etc.

    They were made out to look evil for the drama effect with creepy music added also. It wasnt fair to the gnomes (if the videos were even real). The gnome in the video could have been a very sweet Being, but the video made it to look scary. Many of the gnomes may walk with a shuffle as they are stout and short– but they made it look scary in the video

  28. vanna!!?No Gravatar Says:

    hello , i heard about the book and i am very happy. so i will would love u to text back please ,and i tried make a fairy house but it will no work .

    note :give me tip !!!!!!!!!!! *

  29. adminNo Gravatar Says:

    Hey Cindy,

    Sorry I didn’t see your post earlier – I am mostly found on the forum nowadays….
    Here’s your answers:

    1) No, I don’t believe that witches can turn into orbs.
    2) You may have been visiting the fae in your dream–it’s very possible.
    3) I suppose some gnomes could be on the dark side but for the most part, they are very gentle and shy beings that love nature. They watch over nature and are healers so it is hard to see them as evil at all.
    4) If you don’t feel comfortable contacting the fae, then I don’t think you should. Maybe some day you will feel more comfortable but if not, its still ok just to be interested in them and not want to see them in person.
    5) Personally, I’d rather be around a gnome or pixie than a mermaid – they aren’t that fond of humans.
    6) The fae are found in many natural parts of the world and Mexico is just one of them. Think of Ireland, there are so many stories and sightings there–Mexico isn’t the only place to encounter them for sure. It’s nice that the fae helped the mother and her children get back to safety :)
    7) No, it wouldn’t be rude to dress as a fae, they would probably really like that.
    8 ) I will send Mr. E your best wishes, thanks! 8)

    I just wanted you to know this;
    the first time I tried contacting the fae (haven’t had much success so far, gotta keep trying!) I was really scared. I sware, my breath was shuddering, I was shaking, and imagine, THIS scaredy cat trying to contact another dimension! But I got the words out of my mouth, and as soon as I did I was completely comfortable! Keep that in mind!
    gud luck,

  40. John1991No Gravatar Says:

    I’d love for fairies to be the next big thing so long as it doesn’t become obsessive like all the new trends, it’s already hard to find mentors and people who actually know about the fae I just don’t want someone to take me as a joke and start repeating movie lines to me :(

  41. i love fairiesNo Gravatar Says:

    how do i get the book because it sounds good i want it :)

  42. allieNo Gravatar Says:

    Hello. I was just wondering,since its possible that faries exist,does that mean other mythical creatures could exist too? Like warewolves,vampires,elves,mermaids etc.?

    It would be great if you could get back to me soon,
    -Thanks Allie

  43. Natalie LynnNo Gravatar Says:

    Hey Allie,

    Yes, many other mythical beings do reside in the faery realm along with the fae. Of course, the Elves of Fyn are responsible for much of the information on this site so, they definitely exist (in my experience).

    hi natalie,
    what are holey stones and how do i find one????

  46. Natalie LynnNo Gravatar Says:

    Hi rico,

    Holey stones are stones that have a naturally occurring hole in the center. They are hard to find–I’ve only ever seen one– but I think the best place to look would be in or near water.

  47. rico pauloNo Gravatar Says:

    hey natalie,
    is it okay if i find one this winter??
    cause i wanted to have my first fairy encounter!!!! can i? i mean is it okay?
