Line #19 Trivia/WingsOfFire


1	* AuthorPhobia: The scene in "The Dragonet Prophecy'' with Clay having to make it through an underground river of indeterminate length while not knowing if he'll end up drowning even with his ability to hold his breath for an hour is inspired by Tui's own fear of swimming in enclosed spaces like this.
2	* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The French title for the series is ''Les Royaumes de Feu'' (The Kingdoms of Fire). Some of the book's titles are changed too:
3	** ''The Hidden Kingdom'' is ''Au coeur de la jungle'' (At The Heart of the Jungle)
4	** ''The Dark Secret'' is ''L'ile au secret'' (The Secret Island)
5	** ''Moon Rising'' is ''La Montagne de Jade'' (Jade Mountain)
6	** ''Winter Turning'' is ''La piege de glace'' (The Ice Trap)
7	** ''Escaping Peril'' is ''La mission de Peril'' (Peril's Mission)
8	** ''Darkness of Dragons'' is ''La tempete de sable'' (The Sandstorm)
9	** ''The Hive Queen'' is ''Les Rebelles de Pantala'' (The Rebels of Pantala)
10	* ContentLeak: An [[https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000336970 audiobook]] of ''The Dangerous Gift'' was released a couple months before the book's official release and began circulating amongst the fandom. It became so widespread that the wiki had to issue a warning not to post anything about ''The Dangerous Gift'' on any of the character pages until it was released.
11	* FandomLifeCycle: Stage 2. The fandom is fairly large by literature standards. It also has a fair amount of fan-material and discussion.
12	* PromotedFanboy: [[https://www.deviantart.com/peregrinecella Peregrinecella]] is a well-known fanartist in the fandom known for how well she can imitate Joy Ang's artstyle. She eventually illustrates images for the series's official coloring book.
13	* ReleaseDateChange:
14	** ''Dragonslayer'' changed its release date three times. It was originally going to be released on December 26, 2019, then changed to February 4, 2020, and finally to March 3, its actual release date.
15	** ''The Dangerous Gift'' was supposed to come out on mid-2020 as [[https://www.reddit.com/r/WingsOfFire/comments/hiuhle/book_14_is_finished_i_cant_wait_for_it_too_come/ it's script was finalised on that year]]. However, it got delayed to late 2021.
16	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
17	** In an early draft of the first book, Peril and her brother were a part of TheProphecy. Peril's brother would have been named "Ember". It was decided to make Peril a secondary character and to [[spoiler: initially]] kill her brother because eight Dragonets of Prophecy were too much.
18	** An animated adaptation, covering ten 40 minute episodes, was in development for Creator/{{Netflix}} in 2021. It was led by Creator/AvaDuVernay with animation production handled by Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation. However, the project was suddenly cancelled in [[https://variety.com/2022/film/news/netflix-animated-series-wings-of-fire-antiracist-baby-1235269747/ May 2022]], following a pattern of canned animated projects connected to Netflix Animation. Though CreativeDifferences was cited as a reason by Netflix, news outlets like Variety factored the company's sudden financial stock drop, layoffs, and shifting creative directions as stronger reasons. However, Tui shopped it around to other studios before it was acquired by [[Creator/AmazonStudios Amazon MGM Studios]].
19	* WordOfGay: Umber was revealed to be gay, to the delight of many fans. In fact, Umber was revealed to be gay before WordOfGod said it. As noted when Moon is reading their minds in ''Moon Rising'', Umber looks at Qibli and thinks he's handsome.
