Phew! Wasn't sure what the reaction would be.

If you look at one thing, look at Tom Scribble's Order of the Phoenix.

What great art recs, thank you! :) I actually squeed over the one of Jeeves, and that huge Alice in Wonderland pen drawing was simply stunning.

(And Watership Down is one of my favorite books, too.)

I don't mind a bit. The Fangirl Tour was always supposed to be something fun, not something that had strict rules. ;)

Cool! It meant I could run away from my SSHG ficciness and have a much broader scope.

If we ever end up doing another circuit of the tour I'd love to go through the list of all the fandoms covered and invesigate what obscure artsies I could find.

I knew I loved you...

Jasper Fforde is amazing! Love the Thursday Next series. *plock* Makes me want an extinct bird myself. Pickwick is one of my favorite characters.

Oh, also the Dark Materials recs. Beautiful.

Well, everything was.
