That is awesome and sums up my feelings about all three characters perfectly.

Because books.
Did you see that Gashlycrumb Tinies is an eligible fandom?
Are only the fandoms listed in the link you posted eligible?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The yuletide_admin LJ says October 31, so I'm sure they'll adhere to that.
