These were too cute.

You need to ask people to provide you with artwork!!

Like I should've expected anything different. Fab job, overall. :-)

I must say that, while I loved it all, X was definitely my favorite. My second favorite is R. Now I want to see someone draw this.

I think my favorite is Evans. Though Snape stewing in his own cauldron appeals as well.

*dies and is dead from the love of this*

It needs illustrations pronto. Everyone could pool their resources and offer fic/chocolate/sexual favours to your chosen artist so it gets done quickly.

I'd pay good money to see an illustration of a dead Malfoy with X's for eyes.

Brilliant - except for W because I can't imagine Ron robbing anyone, least of all for money, too proud.

This? Was utterly brilliant. I want art. And then icons of the art. Yes, precious. *plots*

OMG. I do believe I feel a squee coming on.

Yes. Definitely. That's a squee all right. A Gorey pastiche! How delightful!

I can't even express how much I want to see the art. *falls dead of longing*

This was lovely-- as always-- but I am really chiming in to share what I misread your cutline as:
Edward Gorey Writes Fanfic, with captions for those who don't live inside Satan's head.
Not quite, eh? Hmmm, though.
Anyway, thanks for the smile. I too very much liked X.
Also, because I can't remember for my life if I've ever commented before or not, hello! Just a random reader here.

Ah, this was lovely Sam.

H is for Harry who came to no harm.

I is for Irony in the next line;


and the Blaise pun were my favorites. I'm a simple girl.

X is for Centaurs

::snorts:: I swear, you could solve all the world's problems. That's a little bit of genius right there.


... Would you sign my autograph book?

Oh, dear.
*laughs helplessly, especially re Centaurs and Tonks, but flinches at F*

You know who would be cool for the artwork? Red Scharlach. Check this out. And this. I like it when she works in that style.

Very, very cheeky. And the final pun was...puntastic, to say the least.

Brilliant :)

Would you mind terribly if I blatently "borrowed" your idea and did a Good Omens version of the Gashlycrumb Tinies?

*cuddles Gashlycrumb Tinies lunchbox, replete with 26 gravestones printed on the top...*
