Wow. Ok. Long story, but I MET Christopher Paolini during his last Inheritance book signing! I congratulated him on his many Doctor Who references, and tried to give him a link to my profile, but he denied it, saying that there would be legal issues if he'd read it. I also got three of my books signed, and my sister's Eragon!
PS: He said, for the first time ever, that during the first draft of Eragon, Eragon's name was NOT Eragon, but… Kevin.
