Stationery! And more! We were a group of fans of Mercedes Lackey in the nineties, known for having penpals, so stationery was vital.<\/p>\n<p>The next time\u00a0EMG\u00a0came across my radar I was the one running a newsletter and a zine, and I needed ads. Ellen came to the rescue, and supplied me with lovely ads for as long as I ran newsletters. Eventually we started writing and became friends. And eventually I started ordering art and bookmarks.<\/p>\n<p>To me\u00a0EMG\u00a0is a tale of friendship. I made a friend, but I also got lovely art along the way. I still perk up when I find out there are bookmarks on offer and buy way too many of them, and I&#8217;ve gotten some nice artwork out of a couple of Sketch Fests. Whenever I see\u00a0EMG\u00a0it feels like coming home, because these are my people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We are SO HAPPY to be your people, Aurora!
