And the squeeing commenced....
As has been the case time and again over these last few years, every time life drops me down a sewer Fandom is there with a ladder, a flashlight, and a piece of chocolate cake. Whether it's with words of encouragement or support or something else completely unexpected.

In this particular case the lovely and talented xiaogui has drawn fan art inspired by my story The Tao of Diogenes.

You can find it here in LJ and here in Deviant Art.

I'm so in love with this picture - everything from Severus's knees to his expression to the haughty little Diogenes perched in is hand is simply darling.

Please go and leave much praise, not only for the lovely piece of art but for the gesture that salvaged my month.
