She was at Comic Con, but only on Thursday, so I missed her. *is jealous of you*

Hee, she signed with a little dragon and "yay!" and netspeak! *fangirls*

Hee! She was so great. And when she was answering my question about researching other cultures, she talked about how she really loves Napoleon, and she said: "I'm a total Napoleon fangirl!" HA!

She drew me a Temeraire! *loves*

I'd love to go, even though I er...don't know who she is--although, obviously, I SHOULD, since she appears AWESOME--but I have a Thing tonight which is also keeping me from my love, Continuum. Although, really, the post office is helping out with that, too.

*sighs*

Wha? You haven't read the Temeraire series? Girl, you gotta put these books on your list. Master and Commander/Napoleonic wars + dragons = win!

She was signing the fifth book in the series, and she said she'd probably need 3-4 more books to finish the arc. So you have plenty of time to catch up. :D

She's really interesting, because she has very strong roots in fandom, and is a key force behind Organization for Transformative Works, and has written fanfic in, like 30 fandoms. And someone asked her about her influences and she said she was totally inspired by YA authors... which made me think of you!
