::laughs:: Flying unicorns have always been part of my own personal mythos, Birdie. I can't remember where I picked up the first one, but they've always been there since I was a child, and I don't know of anyone who didn't have flying unicorns as part of their faerie world; heck, the kids I played with didn't know that "traditional" unicorns DIDN'T have wings until some know-it-all brought a book. At which point we told him off for being a stick in the mud, and our unicorns kept their wings. So I wouldn't say that GGK was gilding the lily there.

However, in general I agree with you, although I sort of disagree, too; mostly what with my scifi background and blurring the lines betwixt the genres. ^~
