 Inklings of Oxford
The Inklings were literary conservatives who praised the value of narrative in fiction and encouraged the writing of fantasy.
As was typical for university literary groups in their time and place, the Inklings were all male.
On the connection between the two Inklings societies, Tolkien later said "although our habit was to read aloud compositions of various kinds (and lengths!), this association and its habit would in fact have come into being at that time, whether the original short-lived club had ever existed or not."

The Williamsburg, Brooklyn, indie rock quartet The Inklings began in the winter of 2004 as the band behind the music of Dani Linnetz, who had already achieved a degree of notoriety as a nationally touring singer/songwriter.
The move from backing up Linnetz's solo project and forming The Inklings came to fruition when she reconnected with a friend she knew from her time living in San Francisco, drummer Mark Willey, who was then playing with the NYC jazz group Lojazar.
The name The Inklings is a reference to the shadowy creatures that live under Tokyo in Haruki Murakami's book "Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World," which is a reflection of the new slightly darker, but yet decidedly unpretentious, sound.

 Amazon.com: The Inklings: Books: Humphrey Carpenter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Inklings have had an enormous effect on the world of fantasy and Christian apology, and this biography by Humphrey Carpenter attempts to examine, in detail, just what occurred at these meetings, and what the effect was on those who participated.
The Inklings were a fascinating group of men, and this book provides much information and detail about the group as a whole that is difficult to glean from a biography which focuses on just one of the members.
Even the name "inkling" was a playful self-parody, referring both to the fact that they displayed their imaginations in ink and they often only had an "inkling" of what the other was really talking about.

 Inklings Review
For the past three years, they have also distinguished one game as Game of the Year-- not necessarily the best game released that year, but the one the magazine's staff most enjoyed and demanded to play most often.
I greatly enjoyed the previous two Game of the Year honorees, Trumpet and Pipeline, so it was with eager anticipation that I cracked the shrinkwrap on Inklings.
Finally, one of Inklings' greatest flaws is the length of time required to come up with good clues.
