My hopes and goals for the Wilfair series absolutely tip the quirkier side of the gamut, and a lot of them have been met. Met in all sorts of strange and delightful and occasionally painful and usually weird ways.
I wanted to meet readers -- I just didn't know it would happen so often in person! -- and I wanted to read what people might write within the world. Oh, and enjoy some art, too.
I seed the Wilfairverse, for its own sake, with plenty of visual elements and vintage dresses and glitter and such, but did I keep a thought, as I set out, that someone might do something with those visuals? Draw a mint dish or neon sign? You betcha. Maybe I'm a tad shameless in this regard, but I like a lot of airflow through a world.
And among the brain folders holding my Wilfair hopes is one labeled "Favorite Literary Couples." I hoped that Fair and Gomery would show up on a blog's favorite couple round-up one day. That's all. That's it. My fingers have been crossed for that little milestone, since the beginning.
So thank you, Amanda W. of Amanda Loves Words, for this surprise inclusion, just in time for Valentine's Day. Thank you so much. You are too kind!
Have we talked favorite couples here? I must go with Amanda: I'm a big Anne Shirley-Gilbert Blythe fan. And Beatrice and Benedick of "Much Ado About Nothing" have also won my heart. Banter! Matched wits! Heck yeah.
