I'd so much love to see a print of this, but I'm guessing there are copyright/trademark issues?

I'd love to provide a print service for my works, but as for this piece and the issues you mentioned, I honestly am not sure. My guess is that yeah, there would be issues in selling prints based on (or in this case, containing) original material. However, I do see a lot of people selling prints of a fanart nature, but that doesn't mean it's right.

Lovely!

Just one note re spelling: That should be "whither" (= to where), not "wither" (= dry up and shrink).

(It's easier to remember the spelling if you're from one of the areas that still pronounces the "h," though the sound actually goes *before* the w-sound just as it does in "when," "whale," "whether," and so on. I never could figure out why our ancestors switched the letters around instead of sticking with the Old English "hw."

Damn! You are correct! I've shown it to loads of people and no-one noticed. Thank you, I will fix that today. Normally I am a stickler for proper spelling, punctuation and grammar in any kind of published work, but you know how it is: you can be so focused on the details, you don't notice the obvious.

Yeah, it's one of the things I love about fandom in general; we've got lots of backup to catch our glitches.
