I always function under the golden artist's rule:

When people complain about Copyright or committing Copyright Infringement - To me it means that they have no respect
for the art, artist or the thoughts and/or emotions that went into a piece. They simply see it as an empty object, which is
incorrect.

Hey guys, long time no talk - I've not been able to play on Deviant Art as much as I'd like these days.
If you would like to stay in touch (which I've gotten several notes) you're welcome to add me on Facebook.
Art page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ash-Sivils-Artist/214224761929456 and from there you can find my personal.
Thanks so much for the crazy awesome notes, comments, favs and all the support - you guys are still damn awesome!

So ...
I was nominated for the best local artist in my area by the
People's Choice Awards and the major newspaper, The Tennessean.
It turns out ... I won due to all of the voters. I hear I won
by a landslide, which is odd since there are so many fabulous
artists here. Anyways, thank you to everyone who chose me to
represent TN, it means a lot to me. When I have the article and
interview scanned I'll post the picture - it was fun.
Since I haven't been on much in the past few months I also want
to say thanks for all of the fav adds as well as comments. I'm
slack-assing on my messages majorly. You guys rock!
:heart: Ash

It's some years since I used oil pastels but I went through the same should-I-shouldn't-I agonies over using fixatives. A quick Google on the subject confirms what you're saying, opinions are mostly very vague.
This is what I've found:
The only oil pastel fixative that gets recommended generally is the spray made by Sennelier.
The main benefit seems to be that fixatives fix colour which, as you say, is irrelevant for your picture.
No fixative will protect against some clumsy idiot brushing against it. The best protection is keeping it out of the way of clumsy idiots.
All fixatives leave some kind of sheen on the surface which, on large pictures like yours, would be very, very difficult to spray evenly.
So, if I were you, I would not use any kind of fixative because you are almost certain (99.9% certain) to get patchy results with some parts of the picture being a bit shiny and some parts not.
I remember spray-fixing some vigorous charcoal drawings many moons ago. How i wish I hadn't.
Yeah, so don't!
