Did you write some more about the books you named? I must have missed it... I'm particularly interested in the Kate Atkinson book and Milne.

Hurrah for Ferret and all the wonderful things you've seen and read and written!

[smallhobbit]

My brief review of the Kate Atkinson book is here and the Milne book is here

[smallhobbit]

Hurrah indeed!

Thank you!

I'm glad you did this and adapted it for your own purposes! It's always interesting to see other people's fandom years.

Favourite album or song: Um, Dance of the Knights from Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet

Yes, that's a classic.

Your biggest fandom disappointment: The ending of Sanditon

This would have made my list if it were more extensive, although we're only talking eight weeks of invesstment versus 10 yeears in the MCU.

[smallhobbit]

I've always liked that music, and seeing Matthew Bourne's interpretation this summer made all the more special.

10 years is a lot of investment to end up with a disappointment - 8 weeks just had me thinking rude thoughts about the writer.

Lovely summary! I love The Ferret and look forward to more of him :-). All the fun in seeing Richard Armitage on stage!!!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I don't think there can be any doubt the Ferret will be around.

[luthienberen]

Yay!

[scfrankles]

I love that you love Richard Armitage so much ^____^

And I look forward to many more adventures from the Ferret and the rest of the gang!

[smallhobbit]

Can you see where I get the model for Mouselet and her inspector?

The gang will be back soon, I'm sure.

[debriswoman]

That sounds like a good year:-)
All the best this year with projects.

[smallhobbit]

It was a good year. And thank you - you will, of course, be hearing how things go ;)
