    My best friend unexpectedly passed away 3 and a half years ago and this way I'd get to see her again.

    Otherwise, I think a fairy.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I want to be an angel! I'm really nefarious so I guess being an angel would help me change. :D

    ReplyDelete
  20. Christina K. in the rafflecopter

    I'd love to be an angel, but an angel with a bit of an edge, kind of like a Goth angel, who takes care of people who've lost hope. Except I'd double as a human, befriend them and help them through like that.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Thanks for the giveaway! I would want to be a fairy. They have awesome wings & cute little outfits - plus they're fun!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm not sure... either a fairy or Dragon but I can't choose one between the two.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I would be one of the good fairies in Sleeping Beauty because it's my favorite fairy tale and also because they protect Sleeping Beauty.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I like Pixies! Jenks from the Rachel Morgan series and Galen from the Merry Gentry series are amazingly awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Tinkerbell ! I just love Peter Pan ! :D

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'd be a dragon, for sure. But able to take human form, of course...

    ReplyDelete
  30. Usagi, you could be one of the Draki from Firelight!

    --

    Okay, so I'd be a fairy, but I'd be the fairy of CHOCOLATE. Because Chocolate is amazing! Way fun booth! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  31. A fairy with butterfly wings! :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. A shapeshifter that can turn into a raven of course! :). Aways thought they were cool and scary.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I would totally be a butterfly fairy! Have you SEEN Barbie Mariposa?? (*blush* I have) Those things are BEAUTIFUL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I would like to be a butterfly that can turn to a mermaid in the sea. A Sea Butterfly. That's what I want to be!

    Blessings.

    G.C.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I would want to be a pixie because they are tiny, adorable and just a tad mischievous.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I would be a pegasus, because I never got over my childhood obsession with horses.

    Plus, I could freaking fly! WINGED!

    ReplyDelete
  37. A phoenix! I think it's amazing to be reborn form my ashes. Life made out of death, a wonderful circle :)

    But it would be best if you could be a shapeshifter! So, if you are old and it's time to pass away, you just shape shift into a phoenix and tadaaaa. Baby again :p

    ReplyDelete
  38. I would be a Pegasus, because I love horses!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hmm...wing'ed creature...I'm gonna have to go with Pegasus, I do believe. Because they're gorgeous. And kinda mysterious. And very much underappreciated. And did I mention gorgeous?

    Of course, maybe it'd be more fun to be a Fairy Queen with gossamer wings and her very own personal Pegasus to ride -- oooh, I like that! That's my answer! :o)

    Fun giveaway :o)

    ReplyDelete
  40. I would have to say a fairy, because they are beautiful and have magic!!! Also they can fly!!!!

    bridget.howard@hotmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  41. I've had a slight fairy obsession since middle school, so that's what I'd have to choose! Plus, they're awesome. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I have always loved fairies. The winged sort not the evil type. They just strike me as beautiful in a natural way. But I guess realistically I would have to be the type of fairy that could magically hide their wings. Sort of tuck them away in a different dimension so I could function. How could you enjoy a passionate embrace if your guy could keep you grounded by one accidental misplacement of his hands?

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'd definitely want to be an angel just because I think they're so cool. Most of them are super gorgeous and sparkly, and I like sparkles! :D
    meganlovesyuu@yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'd be a dragon. Nothing better than breathing fire as a weapon!

    ReplyDelete
  45. That is a tough one it's a tie between angel and fairy! I guess I would have to be Angel.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I would be a dragon because they are SO badass!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I Would Love To Be A Fairy They Are Such Sweet Creatures Like Me.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I would be a fairy, because I love glitter and sparkles =D

    ReplyDelete
  49. I would like to be a dragon! cause dragons totally rocks! Maybe this one like Daenerys dragons in Song of Ice and Fire...

    (Alinka V.)

    ReplyDelete
  50. While I would love to be a fairy cause they are just so darn cute, I would have to pick Angel. An Angel is soothing and brings peace to those around them.

    gracioushoneybee@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  51. Fairy. No contest. I've loved them ever since I was little.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yep, me too. Farie ;) that's what I would be!

    ReplyDelete
  55. What a fun contest!
    I would probably be a fairy. The kind that can live as a normal human most of the time.
    (not an entry)

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm the fey's sort of cousin, who isn't wing'ed: I'm an elf! It's undisputed. I even have pointy ears!
    ...If I had to choose something winged, I would say...penguin! They're so cute, they've GOT to be magical!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'd be a phoenix! They're probably my favorite mythical creature... So powerful and loyal.
    kristyf1504[at]gmail[dot]com

    ReplyDelete
  58. I'd want to be a Pixie because they're so tiny and cute!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I think I would be a pixie, just because they seem so pesky and fun.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I'm always changing my mind about this one! I think it would be kind of cool to be a pixie. A tiny little thing that flutters around in a gorgeous garden. Of course it would be a ginormous garden/city full of others like me.
    Awesome challenge! Thanks so much for participating in the Spring Blog Carnival!

  62. A fairy. Like Puck or Ash from The Iron King.

    ReplyDelete
  63. A fairy of course!! When I was little I always thought it would be cool to be a fairy.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Okay, I'm going a little larger than some, but I would have to say a unicorn. I just think they are beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I think I'll go for ANGEL.. but not the ordinary one. I like to see myself as a warrior angel, you know those angels who wore plate armors all over their body and I like that angel to be a specialist in handling two swords.(inspired by the daughter of smoke and bone) :DD

    here's my email: samaine(underscore)18(at)yahoo(dot)com

  66. I'd like to be an angel with large, gorgeous feathery wings that slowly change from pure white to the color of sunset as you move from left to right.

    Malvina Beatrice

    ReplyDelete
  72. I would like to be an angel. I wanted to fly but at least I'm a normal size of a person. Kidding. But I love the idea of watching over others, over my loved ones... Thanks!

    clarissa(dot)bulatao(at)yahoo(dot)com

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  76. Just for the sake of being different I would be...a gargoyle! (Those count as a fairytale creature, right?) I would get to hang out all day looking menacing. I would just people watch and scare off pigeons for fun :)

    ReplyDelete
  77. I would love to be a black winged angel. I want to fly and I think that being a black-winged angel rocks, fallen angel feeling.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Having playing and practically 'dwelling' in a world of fantasy offered by books and RPG games ever since I was little, I come to a decision that I want to be... a wood sprite. A group of tiny beings who live in the deepest part of the wood. In between leaves, and near to crystal-like water and beautiful stream with rainbow,,, and then we will light up the night with our glowing wings and browse through the woods... it would be so fun! I always wanted to live in a trunk anyway!

    daesungie@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  79. I would be a draki like Jacinda from Firelight! That's one of my favorite stories and series!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I'd be an angel! Angels are always the best in books. Flying and huge soft wings and special powers... That'd be pretty sweet :D

    ReplyDelete
  81. I would be definitely a fairy! I'd like to have wings like a butterfly, I think I would like to look like this: http://goo.gl/egrTm

    Thank you for the giveaway!

  82. I'd love to be like an angel but instead of angel wings I'd love to get some eagle wings, more cool! :P

    ReplyDelete
  83. I'd like to be a dragon. Noone would mess with me! :)

    katieamanda1(at)yahoo(dot)com

    ReplyDelete
  84. It would be nice to be a grim reaper. It seems like an interesting job. Examples are Tod from Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent and Croak by Gina Damico.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I would be a fairy. Why? Because I'm fricking obsessed. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  86. I think I'd be either a Phoenix or a Dragon. I love both, and I think Phoenix's especially get too little attention. Lots of great wing-ed paranormals to choose from though, it's a hard decision!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Dragons are awesome - especially if they're shifters and can be human part of the time.

    But I'd love to be Tinkerbell. She's pretty, cheeky and manages to get in and out of a lot of trouble. :P

    Thanks :)

  88. I'd be a butterfly. I know that's more of an insect rather than a winged creature, but that's what I'd want to be. =) Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  89. I'd be a dragon, no doubt about it! I absolutely LOVE them and if they were real, I'd be riding off into the sunset right now trying to find me one to befriend. They are beautiful and fierce, what's not to love?

    ReplyDelete
  90. I love angels, so I'd like to be one, but I'd probably be a fallen angel:)

    ReplyDelete
  91. I would be fairy, because you never know what they will do and they have such interesting worlds. Just think about the ones from The Wicked Lovely series.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I would be a dragon! Their awesome! Who wouldn't want to breathe fire! :D

    ReplyDelete
  93. I would be a half-human/fairy such as in Wondrous Strange. That way I can have the best of both worlds with magic and the ability to fly, of course. :)

    ReplyDelete
  94. don't know..... maybe tinkerbell. As long have ability to fly, i will like it :)

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'm thinking dragon- more of an Asian one than a Western one though. Wise, long lived, rich, magical, and not as likely to get killed by a knight.

    ReplyDelete
  96. a water fairy would be cool. i love water and fairies are small - just perfect ^^

    ReplyDelete
  97. Would love to be a dragon. They are just awesome! No one would ever mess with me ;)

    ReplyDelete
  98. I had an incredibly realistic dream once in which I was flying - it felt so real! When I woke up I cried because I couldn't actually fly - so I'd be anything that would let me feel that way again! Barring that, I'd be a fairy because I'd love to be ethereal and graceful (and magical!)

    ReplyDelete
  99. I love faeries! I am a Winter Faerie after all! haha. Thanks for the giveaway! :)

    ReplyDelete
  100. I want to be a storm faery. I just made it up. I'm not sure exactly what I do, but I could make any kind of storm based on my mood. It could rain candy if I wanted it to. And I want a rainbow wand so I can make rainbows whenever I feel happy. And strong lungs so I can blow clouds around.
    Hope that passes the test. I have a faery thing going on over at my blog.
    come see what you faery name is!

    ReplyDelete
  105. I'm definitely going with some type of fairy. I tend to go with the Midsummer Night's Dream type of fairy. I would love to flit about and be mischievous!

    ReplyDelete
  106. I would love to be all the above - but mostly a water sprite, I love water so much, living near, swimming in it, hydrotherapy

    ReplyDelete
  107. Can I just switch back and forth between fairy (good fairy!) and angel (good angel)? I could be a Fairy Angel, I suppose or an Angel Fairy with some cool bumblebee colors thrown in, definitely wings and a halo. Very funkily dressed. Maybe wearing the dress on the cover of Bewitching? Yeah, so I am picturing this in my head and it could go either way. Truly horrifying or absolutely, shockingly lovely. Eh? I will stick with lovely! Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  108. I would be a tricky fairy....not small and beautiful, but somewhay creepy

    ReplyDelete
  109. An angel, but one that spends time on earth. Huge wings & a great singing voice :-) I'd definitely be an earthly angel though...

    ReplyDelete
  114. i'd have bird's wings, like angels have. but my wings woudln't be quite white, but of pearlesent shades, that would reflect the monlight, for the creature i describe habits the night in the search of souls that have lost its path.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I'd want to be a fairy. My friend and I are always saying fairy dust makes everything better and we always have these random conversations about fairies. I think she'd be quite ecstatic if I was a fairy. xD

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  116. A sparrow. Nice a simple, no frills..just a cute sparrow who steals food and hopefully doesn't get caught in an airplane.

    Lilian @ A Novel Toybox

    ReplyDelete
  117. Well duh... I'd be an angel ;) Haha, no, probably not. Maybe some kind of bird? I could be like a pigeon! A little bit of a departure from the angel idea. Thanks for the giveaway!

  120. i would be a ho hoo / the Japanese phoenix and the inspiration of ho oh the rainbow pokemon/ a legendary of the johto region


    student.caprino[at]gmail[com

    ReplyDelete
  121. I would probably choose to be something more like an angel than a fairy. Flying would be cool and all, but I wouldn't want to run around naked. Trying to dress around delicate wings would be a pain, and angel wings seem to be a lot sturdier. (Yes, when I fantasize, I think about wing strength.) However, to make it more fantasy-like, I'd want my wings to change colors to match my mood. :-)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  122. Angel simply because they have soft feathery wings and can fly. I'll never stop ruffling my wings. It'll be so soft!

    ReplyDelete
  123. I read "something bee-ish," and immediately thought of the Jerry Sinfeld's Bee Movie. But I think I'll go with a Hippogriff, helping people escape the dangers of he who must not be named. Plus, I would have my own ride at Universal Studios.

  124. I would love to be an Angel. First, their wings are huge and feathery. Secondly, they get to hang out in the clouds all day. And lastly, because I'd love to be part of the Heavenly choir.

    ReplyDelete
  125. I would definitely be a angel with butterfly wings and fairy shoes!

    ReplyDelete
  126. I'd love to be a fairy. I think I'd be like Tinkerbell, all hot-tempered and mischeivious!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I think I would love to be a angel! So I could have these long, gorgeous wings and be able to fly. I think it's mostly the wings that appeal to me. I wouldn't like having the dainty wings of a fairy. I want the strong, powerful, yet beautiful wings of an angel :)

    ReplyDelete
  128. I'd want to be a fairy, for the freedom and the prettyness :)

    ReplyDelete
  129. a frog fairy or frog angel definitely! ;)
