Measuring onion freshness by how quickly I start weeping. I've got some fresh fucking onions.

;_;

In other news, I got a recipe from my dad, and I'm now wondering: what the crap is chervil.

Hello, lovely people, would you like to leave the artists of [livejournal.com profile] trekreversebang (including me!) some prompts?

I know I'm drawing a blank at the moment. McCoy in a fedora? Uhura impressing her really, really, really old linguistics professor? Or maybe just Uhura, flight suit and aviators (Or Sulu, I would be okay with Sulu too). Though -- do you think I could get someone to write Christopher Pike and Winona Kirk? Because I would really like someone to write Christopher Pike/Winona Kirk. :P
SGA John stoic
A postcard for [livejournal.com profile] smittywing, who asked for Ronon and Keller as Lancelot and Guinevere. My position on that is: I drew it, now she should write it. /:D



I'm kind of busy...? )

A pinch hit for [livejournal.com profile] bluflamingo for the [livejournal.com profile] sg_flyboys challenge. One of her prompts was an AU outside of the sgc and air force. [livejournal.com profile] miss_porcupine suggested the Wright brothers and provided this image.
So here you have it, an SGA/SG-1 Wright brothers AU, except of course John and Cam aren't related, so. /:)

Authors write a 6k story based on works submitted by the artists.

I'm in. :)

from [livejournal.com profile] villainny's prompt of teyla on the weekend and comfortable clothes. After several failed attempts at comfy athosian clothes, instead we have silly.



Your job -- to figure out what whacky Satedan sport gave rise to the tights.

I'm in the midst of breaking nearly every photobucket link to my art because it's a disorganized mess. I will probably, eventually get around to fixing all those links. Sorry!

If you come across any posts that have white space where they should have a picture, let me know and I'll fix that. (Though, um, not today or tomorrow, as I will still be working on that.)

Hello, hello, could I bother you for a... prompt?

(Fair warning, am not first come, first serve, but am only going to get to one today, probs)

Hmm! Hmm! *waggles eyebrows at writers/artists on the flist*

In other news, 3/5 postcards done, 3rd sent, 4th inked, 5th.... well, sketched if I decide to go with cute and really silly. [livejournal.com profile] verav and [livejournal.com profile] monanotlisa, this would be your chance to chime in.

Every time I draw non-digitally, I reminded how much I need that ctrl + z feature. Oh shit, what, I picked up the brown pencil?! FUCK.

Now I can add the authors to my gifts, and thank applegnat, ambyr, Elizabeth Culmer!

For yuletide, I wrote:

Of Human Origin
Hellboy (comics), Liz Sherman/Abe Sapien
She handed him a thick manila envelope. A cover sheet was clipped to the front along with a post-it note. The title of the cover sheet said, 'Notification of Qualification for Peabody Extranormal Self-Protection Act.'


If you've seen the movies, your brief guide to comic canon is:
Abe Sapien, taciturn, masculine, team leader, no psychic powers.
Liz Sherman, red head, a little butch, experienced field agent, no UST of any kind with Hellboy.

I love Hellboy and I'd read scattered bits of BPRD, so I added this fandom pretty impulsively to my signup. It came back to kick me in the butt. Over the next few weeks I read the entirety of Hellboy and BRPD canon at least three times and produced over 30 pages of story notes and snippets, desperately trying to get a grasp on writing the characters. Despite working on it almost every day, I still wrote most of the story the day of the deadline.

Trouble is, Hellboy/BPRD is a series driven by action. Action, all the time! Great action! It has interesting, very real characters -- the women are 30-45ish, competent and wear sensible clothes! Kate Corrigan, I love you -- but it's not so much with the little moments of character interaction.

DVD extras - some of those 30 pages of notes )

So, I know this is the point of yuletide? And I have done yuletide before? But my first reaction this year to my gifts was something like, "Oh my goodness! That's JUST what I wanted! How improbable! It's like it's a gift for me! \o/"

Naomi Novik - Temeraire
The General In His Labyrinth by applegnat
The first time Wellington heard Jane Roland laugh, his mouth went dry with yearning.

Jane! Wellington! He is grumpy! And it is told using the device of a book of scandalous memoirs that get Society in an uproar. ♥


Tamora Pierce - Tortall
nuns fret not at their convent's narrow walls by ambyr
Alanna goes to the Mother of Mountains convent, but chooses life as a guard at the Temple of the Great Mother Goddess over marriage and life as a lady. Six months after taking up her duties, she unexpectedly encounters an intruder on the Temple's grounds.

This is the set up for a What if? in Alanna's life that makes me really want to know what happens this time around. The guards at the Temple of the Goddess are female warriors, but they're also tied to the grounds and separate from the world. Alanna would, I think, be desperately unhappy. However, living in the center of Corus, there's the chance for a whole new adventure novel involving lower city hijinks and the King of Thieves. :D :D :D (Also, there's a reference in the story to the sweating sickness -- which makes me kind of go, "Oh dear, Jonathan, you're going to be one dead prince without Alanna. D: D:")


Patricia C. Wrede - Enchanted Forest/Hikaru no Go
Princess no Go by Elizabeth Culmer
Cimorene and Mendanbar play Go. AU.

This is actually a pun on my Enchanted Forest prompt, which was "Cimorene and Mendanbar AU. Go." It's true, I do love puns. And AUs. Also has a great reference to the Gargoyle. :)


I'd offer something for guessing the one I wrote, but I think I told anyone who might have been able to guess... and you'll find out tomorrow anyway. Still, um, I could draw you a picture? Your hint is that I spent too much money in a comic book store after realizing which fandom I'd been assigned (and I don't regret it all *pets the comic shelf*).

[livejournal.com profile] siegeofangels got her postcard a few days ago, so here's the scan. ([livejournal.com profile] anyagee, I'm guessing that yours has arrived too since I sent both at the same time. If not, um, spoilers! Sorry!)

[livejournal.com profile] siegeofangels asked for Casino Royale (ages ago).


Actually, Bond, I think you might be Scottish? )


[livejournal.com profile] anyagee asked for the Enchanted Forest (also ages ago).


Kazul grins with *all* her teeth. )

ETA: I'm now done with the 3 panel comics (I arbitrarily decided on 5 as a good number), and I've reposted them all here with the final, new comic. Original posts: Idol/HL/Twilight, SGA, and James Bond.

(All the comics are cut off in dreamwidth, so here is a link to the dw light format.)

Highlander/Twilight for [livejournal.com profile] kouryou



Sparkles in Le Blues Bar )

Highlander/Adam Lambert for [livejournal.com profile] astolat

Glam )

SGA: John, Ronon, script by [livejournal.com profile] bratfarrar



Hrrrgh... )

Casino Royale: Bond, M, script by [livejournal.com profile] siegeofangels



007, leering is not part of the waltz. )

Ronin Warriors: Rowen Hashiba & White Blaze



First, there was this picture for [livejournal.com profile] spark_force, from the 20 min picture meme.
What? I lost my socks. )

Followed by: Maybe I'll go buy some socks. )

Among other things. If I weren't the laziest person ever, Wellington would be around here somewhere or Excidium. I swear I used a period appropriate reference, it just didn't come out looking very period. XD

Oops, there is a problem with the pinch hitters list! D: If you haven't already seen this on your flist (and you are a pinch hitter), check out the explanation on yuletide.

ETA: There is now a back up pinch hitter list, details here.
RW Rowen space


007, leering is not part of the waltz. )

Script by siegeofangels, here. You may notice that these scripts get a lot more unsubtle after I'm done with them. >_>

More little comics here and here. Highlander, Twilight, Idol RPF, SGA.

The comic is cut off in dreamwidth, so here is a link to the light format.

Your problem, Horse, is... you have no faith.

ETA: Hahaha. No, no, Dean is the prince! He is just remonstrating with the horse! As Castiel taught him! And the horse is just a horse. Not that this scenario makes any more sense.

Jeez, Dean, if only you had pointy ears and ridiculous conehead hair, then you would be easier to draw recognizably.

I don't recommend it.

([personal profile] pentapus: It was on the other side of the desk. I didn't even know I could reach it.
[personal profile] pentapus: I thought stretching would make me feel better. :(
[personal profile] ileliberte: XDXDXDXDXD

SEE? She is MEAN.)
