25 Day Harry Potter Challenge - 16. Favourite fan art/fan fic/fan something?

I have to admit I'm not really into fan related things.  Though I did come across some fan art that I really like on deviantArt by viria13.  I just love her style of drawing and the way she colours things so they look almost dreamy and nostalgic.  If you've got a spare minute or two then go and have a look through her gallery.

Totoro!

So over Summer I finally watched a few films I've been meaning to watch for ages.  One of them being My Neighbour Totoro.

The story follows 2 little girls and it's one of the cutest films I've ever seen.  If you love sweet stories then definitely go and watch this film!

My Neighbour Totoro was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.  After watching, and loving, this film so much I decided to check out some of his other films.  So far I've watched Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind.  While these films are all different you can see certain similarities.  There's always a nod towards what I'm assuming is traditional Japanese spirituality, although I'd have to research Japanese traditions a little more before being certain about this.  There's something magical about all of them and the animation itself it just beautiful.

If you've never seen an anime film then I suggest you start with something by Hayao Miyazaki.  It's like watching a painting tell you a story.

Speaking of painting I became a little obsessed with Totoro so decided to do a little fanart...

Your opinions would be much appreciated!!!
