I want to thank Maria Grazia at Fly High for coming up with the wonderful  idea
of a group blogging event, as well as the other Fanstravaganza bloggers for

their awesome ideas, posts & friendships.  It was fun observing all the creativity,

humor, and insight each blog offered over the past week.  Thanks for the smiles, ladies!

(This reminds me... I have been working on SFR #6 -slowly but surely-

and bZirk, I still owe you a SFR watercolor.  I'll get there on both, I promise!)

For those of you who are interested, here is a summary
of what happened on the Fanstravaganza blogs this week:

Avalon's Blog featured poll questions about Gisborne.

You can see those poll results HERE with some great manips by TygerMag.

She also featured two RA fans: an interview fanfic author Sarah Pawley HERE

and highlighting Spikesbint's work (vidder, graphic artist & fanfic author) HERE.

The Spooks Fan Blog featured poll questions about (bet you can't guess) Lucas North:

"Lucas North's Cheekiest Moment" and "Favorite Lucas North MacGyver Moment."

(Hilarous!  Love the poll questions, Skully!)  Her poll results will be posted tomorrow.

Her fan features included Lucas North icons from various artists HERE

and an interview with graphic designer, TygerMag HERE.

The Squeee featured poll questions about RA's leading ladies. (Poll result post pending.)

My favorite post was THIS ONE with a recap of the "Most Despised Leading Ladies"

which had me laughing out loud.  (Sarah and the duct tape... haha!)

Reviewerama featured poll questions about North & South. Results can be viewed HERE.
My fave was the "Favorite Thorton Heel Spin Moment" since I never noticed just how often
my (I mean, our) JT does that!  Ragtag also interviewed RA vidder Elva75 HERE.  

An RA Viewer Perspective featured 8 polls (what are you trying to do, Mulubinba,

make me look like a lazy bum?) featuring questions about Cbeebies, phone calls, props,

scenery and audio work.  The poll results have been posted HERE.

Me+Richard featured poll questions about The Vicar of Dibley. 
She will be posting her results tomorrow, so be sure to check it out later.

There are also fan highlights of bZirk HERE and Eli of the Armitage Army HERE.

Phew... I hope I covered everything!

Gisborne can stop threatening everyone to vote now.
