It was deserved. I'm involved in the comic con world and see very few people who take ownership of their alter egos, most are just playing dress up when they cosplay. You clearly are someone who has taken ownership and I appreciate passionate people. 

Did you look at your rewards that will be coming for that post on the Steem Forever comment? You got one large upvote that will really help. Once it pays out please do a post about it showing that you got paid on an old post. Personally I feel this needs some promotion...it's just to cool that I was able to generate a way to get you paid even more on a post that already paid out.
