LJ Idol Week 0 - Introduction
Once upon a time, there was a young boy we'll call Christopher Robin. Christopher Robin had many adventures in the 100 Aker Wood with his best friend, Pooh Bear.
This story is about his mother.
You see, Christopher Robin's mother,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alycewilson, was a very special person. She loved words and imagination and magical thinking, and it was from her that Christopher Robin learned the secret of travelling to the 100 Aker Wood.
Alyce, herself, had fallen through a looking-glass in her youth, and kept the secrets of that world close to her ever after. Even after she returned to the mundane world she knew what magic waited on the far side of the glass. Knowing what exists that other people don't see is an incredibly lonely feeling. Alyce set herself a quest that had nothing to do with walruses, flamingos or Red Queens and instead had everything to do with finding other people who knew what lay on the far sides of looking-glasses, beyond the backs of wardrobes, over rainbows and past the lands of dreams. She searched high and low. Eventually she began finding other people like her, and one day found herself in an even stranger place than Wonderland -- Otakon.
Alyce had come home.
Otakon, like many magical places, can only be reached when the timing is exactly right. Fortunately other people who had found Otakon still live in the mundane world, and soon Alyce had her very own Gryphon.
This has been my entry for Miniseason B, Week 0, Introduction. I haven't metalycewilson in person yet, but with the help of The Cousin and The Photographer I'm hoping to remedy that at the next Otakon.

I'd forgotten that Christopher Robin wrote the sign for the "100 Aker Wood." Looks like it's really his spelling that's wobbly, and not Pooh's (or Owl's0. :)

Some of the right letters. But that's about it!
