  2. If I’m not mistaken, several chapters of the Silmarillion are devoted to the feechiefolks. Maybe some of the Tolkien experts around here can clarify that.

    Seriously, it’s an honor to have the feechies mentioned alongside hobbits. The feechies are honored too. I should point out, though, that the feechies are a tribe, not a race. This fact is significant by the end of the Wilderking Trilogy, for reasons that I won’t spoil here for any readers who haven’t read the Wilderking Trilogy.

    We need to figure out how to revive the Feechie love poetry contest. That was fun.

    If you do revive the Feechie love poetry contest, Jonathan, please be sure to let us all know!

  4. Great post! I hadn’t thought about the fact that all the really great fantasy writers make up races…you have one of those made-up races, too, Becky. One day we will be reviewing your books and talking about your brilliant ranja (am I spelling that right?).

    And thanks for the reminder about the feechie love poetry contest. It was so much fun. I lost a hunk of my blog shortly after that, wiped out my database. I was so happy when I found the old feechie poetry posts through Google’s cached pages feature. I reloaded them onto the site so they look a little odd, but at least the content is there. If I’d known you were going to link to them I’d have cleaned them up a bit.

    Let’s have another contest. I really think this one should be a cowboy song contest, though.

    Maybe.

    Did you all go see the movies at the Feechie Film Festival? Those are a lot of fun.

  6. As far as another poetry contest, I’ll do with whatever Jonathan wants to do, but the Feechie are just so unique—other people can write cowboy songs, but who can write Feechie love poetry? For variety, though, perhaps instead of love poetry, it can be Feechie poems for another purpose.

    Anyway, it really was fun, and the people at Children’s Book Publishing News did a wonderful job running the contest. 😉

    Oh, and thank you, Sally, for your kind words about the Ranjah. I was actually thinking about them as I was writing this post—thinking about where I need to tweak and strengthen their culture and habits.

    Just popping in to say I’m looking forward to this one. I happened to order from the online store and have a full set of signed copies of the trilogy with lovely gators drawn on them. 0=)

What do you think?
