A Fangirl's Guide to Flying: Cabin Pressure Edition

Tips and tricks for making the most of air travel, inspired by the consummate professionals of MJN Air and instigated by Hurricane Sandy, who left me with too much time and nothing to do while stranded for a week in Philadelphia. After all, when life hands you lemons, it's probably a good time to play traveling lemon.

SQUEEE!!!!! I love the Captain's hat and banding on the coat. What a fabulous start to a delightful new edition!

And now I'm wondering what new companion the Fangirl will have instead of Skully (unless she's stowed in the luggage...). A lemon? An otter? A bunch of expensive orchids? Cheap gin? A bottle of Talisker?

Getting stranded by a Hurricane has done wonders for getting me going on this. I plan to do one per episode and will hopefully be able to get these out before season 4 airs.

And who's says Skully can't join in on all the shenanigans. :D It might not make much sense to have a skull, be your co-pilot, but she and FG are a great team!

Yay! I am very fond of Skully, so I'm delighted she may get to be part of future FG adventures! I wonder if she'll be surprised by Arthur's cake... :D

I do wonder what Skully will make of Arthur!

*squee* I can't wait to see these!

I need to get cracking. One per episode is the plan.

The fangirl may be even cuter in her captain gear! Is she a Martin fan? Wouldn't he be surprised to know he has a fan? (Douglas wouldn't, of course.)

One of the lemons we used has now been turned into lemon squares.

She is indeed a Martin fan. I think she might harbor a bit of a crush on him. And this is an excellent use for a traveling lemon!

Oh my gosh, that is absolutely adorable!!
(which is a strange, somewhat roundabout way of saying that I look forward to seeing what you come up with!! ouo ouo)

Thank you! Hurricane Sandy has turned into a bit of a mixed blessing as it's giving me time to think some of this through. And I'm so happy to hear you think this is adorable. I wanted to make the fangirl cute and a little ridiculous in her fannishness.

Can't wait til you get to the otters *squees*

Oh god yes. That one is going to be so hard to choose from!

Yes, I also love the FG's new look and can't wait to see more travelling-themed drawings!

Geeklet and I just printed this out and taped it to a foam backing to be one of our Christmas ornaments! We're listening to "Molokai" while we're doing this.
