I am amazed! You should be so proud of yourself. I think this deck will make Australia's creatures far more accessable to non-Oz folk. I know I've already learned so much.
And the evil part of me is wanting to make six Pia clones for the other continents.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon, it's so awesome that you've been able to follow this too as I've been writing it. It's really appreciated.

Also, I want to do decks for other regions, to be honest. It's been something sneaking around in my brain. There will definitely be another deck forthcoming that isn't Australia-centric, that's for sure. :D

[liondaughter.livejournal.com]

Yay! For completing this. And best wishes for finding a publisher. They'd be crazy not to want to publish it because I've never seen a deck like this before. And also yay for considering doing decks from other regions. All the decks I've seen aren't regionally based and seem rather random. I love that your deck is nothing of the sort and wish there were an equivalent depicting the animals I know. Like American Robin. They're staring at me. Why are they staring at me? *reaches for some haldol* Heh. :-D Congrats again!
