Happy St Patrick's Day! :)

And "Happy FanstRA!", for the last time this year. I hope the week has been good both for readers and participants - it's certainly kept me busy! There have been so many great posts out there over the past week, I admit I haven't had a chance to go through them all yet.

There are a few hours yet for those of you in the Americas, but FanstRA week officially ends in about half an hour from me writing this.

A big THANK YOU to all the participants. You've been absolutely AMAZING! :D There have been posts out there that have made me laugh out loud, giggle uncontrollably, drool, get hungry from (ARmyofchefs, I'm looking at you!), and just feel really proud of Richard Armitage and all his wonderful fans.

A special thank you also goes out to these lovely ladies (in alphabetical order) for making F4 happen:

  • angelfish69 for the beautiful participant banners
  • Frenz being a WordPress guru, and keeping the Twitter account going
  • Gratiana for spreading the word in RA groups on Facebook
  • Nat for being the original instigator of FanstRA back in 2010
  • Tannni for the lush header banners on the website
  • The person, who wishes to remain anonymous, who registered the fanstravaganza.com and fanstra.com domains for all our benefit. :)

There might still be some posts left out there that have been missed out, but they will be added to the site over the course of the week and consequently posted to the FanstRA page on Facebook, so stay tuned. I'll also try to collect all links to posts into a page, so it's nice and easy to find in the future.

Anyway, I hope you've had fun this week, regardless of if you've been a participant or a reader, and that the answer to "when shall we meet again?" is "FanstRA5 if not before!" Because oh gosh, there are so many new blogs to follow and link to!

Once again, RA fandom has shown it can be truly awesome, and that's why it's so much fun to participate. :)

Thanks everyone! Time for bed!

P.S. Let's leave talk about F5 for a while because if I have to type the word "FanstRAvaganza" again for the next few months, I may have to throw 3" Thorin across the room and scream. ;)

    Fabulously organised, Traxy. You must have been a cat herder in a previous life. Well done, and thank you!

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
