Warhammer 40k generating 0.02% of the UK's entire GDP would surprise a lot of us who have been paying 0.01% of the UK's GDP to get someone local to paint up one good squad of World Eaters. And we're getting off easy. Then there are the ppl who pay 0.03% of UK GDP for their own paints & brushes.

Today is the 5th birthday of The Actual Star. I'm proud of everything I write, but this book had the hardest labor. There were many times I didn't think it'd ever even see the light of day. The world has changed a lot since then. So have I. But to my delight, the book continues to find readers.

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Do you like supporting your local eel historian? Well! Have I got some opportunities for you! 1. Over at my etsy store, I'm selling subway-style maps of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Narnia. You can get them as prints or as digital versions! #LOTR #maps www.etsy.com/shop/Surpris...
Art. Subway-style map of the itinerary in The Hobbit. The main journey is show in three different lines: red (Hobbiton to Goblin Town); green (Goblin Town to the Elvenking's Halls); and blue (Elvenking's Halls to Erebor). There are multiple stops on these lines. There is a yellow line going back from Erebor to Hobbiton, making stops at Beorn's Hall, Rivendell, and the Troll's Lair. There is an orange line directly from the Iron Hills on the map's right side to Erebor, and a purple line from Gundabad directly to Erebor.

The map's title reads: "Hobbit Transit Map" and there are directions for both There and Back Again listing the lines and transfer points. Between them, in the middle of the page, is a dragon drawn to resemble the dragon on Thror's Map from The Hobbit.

A key shows the names of each colored line: 
Red: Western Lands Line
Green: Mountains and Forests Line
Blue: Barrel Line
Yellow: Gandalf Express
Orange: Iron Hills Business Line
Purple: Orc and Goblin Reserve Line

Text at the bottom right reads Surprised Eel Maps, 2025Art. Subway style map to go with The Lord of the Rings, showing the different pathways of various parties throughout the book. The title reads: "Lord of the Rings Transit Map: One Does Not Simply Walk Ino Mordor When One Can Ride." The map takes up the middle part of the page, and there are two keys. The one on the left is titles "Standard Service Lines, and has color keys matched to the subway lines on the map. Lines are named:
"Shire-Bree Commuter Line
Old Forrest Crescent
Wildland Scenic Line
Fellowship Line
Gollum / Sméagol Line
Uruk Hai Express
Three Hunters Line
Fangorn Slow Service
Rohan to Gondor Business Line
Black Ships Ferry Service
Oliphant Direct Line
Army of the West Line
Gandalf Express

A smaller key on the right side of the map is labeled: "Limited Service Lines" and has color keys matched to the following names lines:
"Eagle Express
Paths of the Dead Line
Nazgûl Search & Resuce
Valinor Ltd."

A note at the bottom reads: 
"* Mount Doom station only accepts Rings of Power in payment. Plan accordingly."Art. A subway style map on a parchment background. The map's title reads: "Narnia Transit Map: Talking Beasts Ride Free." The map has seven keys, one for each of the seven books in C.S. Lewis's Narinia series. The main movements of characters and action in each book are traced by colored lines, like a subway map. Locations in each book are marked out as stops in the lines. There is a drawing of a lion above the title of the map, and in the lower right corner there is a compass rose.

Zero & One is a comic about a Human youth making friends with a living robot to explore an alien world. Made by a trans and autistic team! Physical and digital rewards on Kickstarter. Please support art and literature by queer and autistic creators! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jam...
PAGE 9 - PANEL A
Taking up the majority of the frame, aligned to the upper right, is Forever, looking off to the right. The viewer is behind Zero and One, who are in the bottom left corner. One is the most to the left, with Zero slightly to the right of One. One is holding up a hand to get the larger Elemorph’s attention.

ONE:		EXCUSE ME, LORD FOREVER?

PAGE 9 - PANEL B
Contiguous. One has lowered their arm. Forever is now looking at the two, expression blank.

PAGE 9 - PANEL C
Contiguous. Forever has leaned down to make eye contact with the smaller beings, its face now much much closer to the viewer, and therefore seeming much much larger. Forever’s face is still blank.

FOREVER:	YES?

PAGE 9 - PANEL D
One is on the left. Forever’s face is on the right. Between them is Zero, who has been pushed forward by One. Both Zero and One look stunned by the sheer size of Forever. Forever is still expressionless.

ONE:		IS THIS A HUMAN?

PAGE 9 - PANEL E
Zero’s face is in the bottom left. Forever’s face takes up the right half of the frame. Zero looks deeply intimidated by the massive robot. For the first time, Forever looks curious, its eye stalks reaching toward Zero.

FOREVER:	WHY YES, IT IS.

PAGE 9 - PANEL F
The frame is dominated by Forever, who has risen back up to full stature, forcing the viewer to look up at it, its head much smaller than the bottom of its body due to perspective. Its staff is being held out gently. We can see the back of Zero and One’s heads in the bottom left, with One to the left of Zero. The left half of the frame above Zero and One’s heads is reserved for text.

FOREVER:	I MET SOME HUMANS ONCE, WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED AT THIS SPOT. THEY GAVE ME THIS STAFF AND A DURABILITY UPGRADE. THEY TOLD ME TO GUARD THIS PLACE UNTIL A HUMAN NAMED ZERO ARRIVED, SO I COULD DELIVER SACRED WORDS.
