I agree... but I guess that's why they call them FAN fictions.

oh not this species crossover thing with Sparks again! I know it's just your "idea" for a fan fiction but it's not going to actually happen... ever. Way too awkward... and pretty hard to explain. I'm sure the people at Sierra know what lines not to cross when it comes to character relationships. Yes, it would make some cool looking "fairy" dragons I admit, but I don't think the makers are going to pass something like that.
