IT'S KRAFTY TIMES PARTY TIME

Hello, world! I am still stupidly excited over sharing my bb Know Not Why with the world at last, and like anyone who cut her writin' teeth (... okay, that's creepy) on the sweet sweet elixir of wonderful comments on her fanfiction (and FanFiction.Net reviews, if you wanna get OLD SCHOOL), I am dying to hear what people think. I am also sort of worryingly inclined toward having big spazzy fangirly feelings over a tale that is technically of my own creation, but - oh well!

SO! If you guys have any questions at all, or just want to tell me what you thought, or what actors you picture as the characters (I would love to know this! I have never managed a complete dream-casting of this thing), or are perhaps dying to know my Howie Jenkins playlist, or, like, some fascinating trivia (oh, there's trivia!), absolutely bring it, friends!

This might just turn into me spamming this post with silliness, but I am okay with that.

COOL LINKS, BRO
+ Currently for sale @ Smashwords! I am looking into putting it in Amazon's Kindle Store as well; would that be good, do you think?
+ If you feel like puttin' your reviewer hat on, it would be the coolest if you left me a rating or review at Goodreads or Smashwords!
+ My sporadically updated blog is currently featuring a post on what moved me to write this in the first place. :)

Oh goodness, thank you so much, that makes me so happy and I am so glad you enjoyed it!!! There are not words for how much this comment has made my heart soar. (But there are, thank heavens, GIFS.) I think that you are DEFINITELY going to see a lot more of these guys at some point; I started a sequel soon after I finished the first one, and even though it's kinda just been something I've gone back to every couple months and haven't spent enough time with, this has definitely been motivation enough to get back to it. AND I've got tons of little ficlets dancing around in my brain as well; I will have to get those down on some Word docs. :)

And oh, lord, what is some thrilling trivia? Cora's 'BUSH AGAIN?' mug with The Scream painting on it was inspired by a real mug owned by my best friend's family! ... Okay, that was lacking in thrills. Maybe a ~tantalizing teaser~: in said sequel that is set about 1.5 years in the future, one of the characters HAS BECOME FAMOUS. Why? For what? Only time will tell! Ooh, ahhh!

You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that we'll see more of these wonderful people at some point! Even if just for short visits! Usually when I have a new ship I go out and find all the fic, hungry for more of my new favorites, but with these guys, I'm just going back over and re-reading favorite scenes from the book. Which is great too, don't get me wrong! But I'm glad that there is more in your head.

Heh, when you started describing the 'Bush Again' mug I immediately flashed back to a Bush mug that someone had at a non-profit where I interned as an undergrad, printed with the much more ribald "With a Bush and a Dick in the White House..." joke.

I'm seeing that lots of people are sad about the store closing, which I totally get, but I was actually glad when it came to that, because it means Arthur is free (or will be free, at some point soon.)

Umm, I'm usually terrible at casting, but I kind of thought that Arthur might be a little Tom Lenk-ish. Not Andrew!Tom Lenk, but this Tom Lenk:

and this one,


and maybe Ellen Page for Cora?
