Miss Cellaneous

Fannish things I love right now:

• the Archive Of Our Own's functions: Did you know you can add an Inspiration or Remix link to a story, just like this?
  
  Made for a veritable riffer like me. ;)

• my SGA Secret Santa assignment. I had been hoping for this wish, and I got it, also happening to adore the wish-er. Already got the big picture of my story - if not the details - mapped out in my mind. 's all good.

• SGA Big Bang, all live and in colour. No time right now, but boy, I foresee a few fantastic months of great Atlantis novelisations. (Y'all, keep reccin'!)
  
  Must also mention the artists: I cannot wait to check out what they created and would totally do it before reading the stories if only the images and vids weren't per se spoilery. I'm constantly in awe of some of my fellow fans' talent (and basically chanting, WE ARE NOT WORTHY in advance).
  
  Still, I contributed:

SGA fanart rec: mashimero has completed her Kink Bingo Card (Not Safe For Work). My favourites are the first and the third drawing, but it doesn't surprise me a certain friend of mine went for the last...

Today, despite not coming home too late, I had to force myself to the gym: Hard to resist ( the new netbook )

Like, is there a way to permanently kill Windows Media Player (which keeps popping up on my desktop with a link)? Or generally wipe the hard-drive of useless Microsoft crap? With "only" 160 GB of harddrive space - that I cannot locate, btw; adding up only gives this admittedly challenged math-user 146 GB - I have even less use for their critters of programmes.

In any case, while the Asus desktops are quite tasteful, I installed this one I made m'self as the new background:

( Obsessive love for the James Kirk/Chris Pine nexus is obsessive )

It's the glasses. Jesus.

And yes, I'm still on a Girlyman kick.

hermine was asking for something pretty, or happy; something to make her smile and distract her. Knowing her fandoms and interests and finding an alignment with mine, I made this for her:

( James T. Kirk banner, of sorts. )

I'd love to participate in the McShep Match 2009 - War & Peace - see the invitation & outline post.

As I'll be gone for a work seminar in Frankfurt this weekend, however, starting tomorrow, I won't be able to sign up on the one day when this is possible: Friday June 12th, from 10pm GMT. (When is that?) Would anyone of you be willing to do it for me? ETA: Cheers, rheanna!


My team choice was very simple, not to mention visible in the fanart I made:



( 1 McShep Match - Team Peace - banner: full size )

( 3 icons off that banner. )

( 5 more icons, independent ones. )

Brain drain: only for professionals going away? I mean, I feel pretty drained even after staying in Germany, what with coming home only now - and going back tomorrow at an hour that recalls prepunctual feathered creatures.

That said, without much fanfare, have some icons & manips.

1. Girl!John

mashimero made this manip of girl!John; please forgive me - mashimero and everyone with, you know, taste or something like it - for fiddling with that very cool version yet again, with the ( result under the cut. )

Of these, only one is made off the original version: ( icons of Lt. Col. Sheppard herself. )

2.
For the reason in my whiny header above, I didn't get to any genderswitch story of mine. Mea culpa, but: my sleep, too. I ♥ it.

To my...slowly dying shame, I had to drop out of The Little Bang. I'm really sorry, guys. But I haven't even managed a drabble in these last few months.

Fanart, though? That works even late at night. And as my flame for SGA is still burning brightly, I signed up for the SGA Big Bang - as an artist.

So hey. If the thought of your McShep or femslash story and my artwork makes you tingly? Head on over! *g*

The love of both vylit and Sarah Connor, that is. It's the former's graduation, so I made her a present featuring the latter:

[for vylit only]

( Sarah Connor, she of the Terminator Chronicles - a banner )

Watching the rest of the Bones finale now, and tomorrow, it's aforementioned company celebration in Mainhattan. I'll be back Sunday; you'll be good, okay? "Good" in the sense of "writing lots of John/Rodney smut," of course.

And as I'll be at the parents come this afternoon, until tomorrow, when I - hopefully - have A Very Special Event Scheduled, let me throw this at you now:

( SGA Story Cover )

Yes, as it might just be somewhat apparent - a cover for Converging by purna

~27,000 words
John/Rodney (AU. ish.)
NC-17
John saves a man from drowning and takes the long way home.

This story (her John: oh, her John) is one of my all-time favourites, and I figured that especially in the face of woeful comments from certain SGA friends, recs are always good, and those done via other media than words might be even better.

Next up: presenting kaneko's Intersections as an interpretive dance.

But back to my "artwork:" Comments and criticism very, very welcome - I'd love to modify it according to other fanartists suggestions before posting it to any noticeboard. ciderpress, machinistm, I'm lookin' at you.

I made this.

Cover for cesperanza's Written by the Victors

Thanks for playing in the What To Review Poll. *g* I know what to tackle first now. (Who'da thunk? Seems that "iconic" doesn't just mean "pertaining to 100x100 pixels.")

Random links before I throw myself into the next study session:

1. Here's a neat German pronunciation site I found while looking for something to help me teach pukajen a bit of my language (she asked! Several times! I swear!).

2. I know some of you like cartoons/drawings/chibis and don't mind the cuter side thereof. If you've watched SGA even once, do check out steammmpunk's artwork plus accompanying ficlet...and if you're really into that kind of thing, the icons I made from it. (Should you take, please just credit her).

3. For the BtVS AND Farscape fans -- thassalia wrote me a wonderful response to a meme of hers. As always, all of her -- panfandom! -- ficlets are wonderful.

ETA: ( Gratuitous quiz result )

In the last study break, I may have made a simple John-and-Rodney banner.

( Still the least-artsiest! )

Also, if you like the McShep, even -- especially -- if you don't have much time, check out this little ficlet by wesleysgirl (spoilers for Sunday, rated R for adult situations).

Just a few lines for 3x01 & 3x02

Made a cover for lallybroch's I hear the Bells series – McKay/Cadman and now McKay/Cadman/Sheppard; what more can a girl want?*

( Cover )

* Yes, yes, okay, there ARE a few things. But this, it's a good start.

Not that the ones who care for that sort of stuff haven't seen them already...but in the department of Art Also Inspired by Ardhanarishvara, we have Ronon as a Woman by lierdumoa in addition to pentapus's Girl!John.

Big thanks to the artists. Wish you could see the smile on my face.

The lovely and exceedingly talented fatuorum has created a gorgeous cover for Ardhanarishvara.

The ever-lovely dar_jeeling made me a banner for the SGA section of my web site. ( See? ) Eventually, I'd like to have banners such as this one for all of my fandoms. Don't worry, you'll be the first to know. Or, uh, worry.

And yes, I'm shamelessly showing off this new icon, too. Images by yours truly, animation by cynicalcylon. (Must learn how to at some point)

Recuperating, I suddenly found myself creating two SGA Post Secret entries -- the first one requires knowledge of canon, the second one is more universal, I guess.

Also, I was on the phone for a while -- y'all know what that means: Icons! Of the SGA kind, and also vaguely inspired by the Post Secret sga_flashfic challenge now located at sga_post_secret.

( Onto the icons... )
