Richard Armitage Legenda 76: Stuff worth reading

Legenda offers a brief, non-inclusive index of stuff about Richard Armitage that I noticed and enjoyed since the last episode. It doesn’t usually include materials presented on the major fansites, which I love dearly, but which are linked in the sidebar. Because I always forget or just miss stuff, please add additional pieces of interest via link in the comments.]

Thanks again for the cheerleading

You guys are simply the best. Thanks for all your support this week. I’ll get back to answering comments tomorrow — I know there are a lot of them. And then I have to plan how to proceed … figure out how to be writing what I want to be writing … I am really looking forward to the summer for that reason. I’m going to figure out if I am a writer. I wanted to get this out there first as it’s already late, and as I assume that we’re going to be overwhelmed with new stuff from Australia very shortly.

How do you react to that?

• Some people edit.
• In fact, even more people edit.
• Some people experience great cognitive leaps!
• Some people stare and think of Cole Porter.
• Some people finally fall in love with the beard!
• Like me, lots of people can’t stop staring. Love that “Mr. Armitage” is “Pan Armitage” in Polish (and, of course, one might add, Señor Armitage in French, Herr Armitage in German, Monsieur Armitage in French …). Love to see that written out in each language.
