This post is late in coming, but I'd like to thank [info]lillithium. I fangirl her madly - she is one of my favorite artists, period - her work is always so evocative and passionate.

This Reversathon, she drew The Fall for me, which is my favorite H/D fanart ever. Luckily, I happened to be given her prompt for Reversathon as well (there'd been a switch in my assignment), which was juicy and inspiring and all kinds of wonderful. I already considered myself almost unbelievably lucky. Then [info]lillithium absolutely killed me by making unbelievably gorgeous fanart for the story. I'm still so completely floored by this I can't do anything but stammer and fangirl-squeak whenever I look at it (which is often, because just wow).

Also! I would like to pimp [info]seasidecafe, [info]fleshdress and [info]emeraldgreen's new crack multi-fandom RPG. I'll be playing Aziraphale to the lovely Katilara's wicked Crowley. This community is low-stress, RP optional and will be great fun, so check it out!

I'm getting ready to head back to school - 16 credits this semester, which I'm getting a you-lost-your-job grant thingy to help pay for. It's a fantastic opportunity, to be able to go to school full-time. Also, my daughter is starting kindergarden. The amount of paperwork that's been due between the two of us is unbelievable. I'm still convinced I've forgotten one little piece of it somewhere and am going to end up completely screwed down the line.

It's been a great summer though. I took my daughter to Six Flags, to see Hi-5 in concert, to Ren Faire, the waterpark, the zoo, and spent plenty of time just playing in the back yard. It's hard to believe summer is almost over. I love Fall more than anything and am already getting excited for Halloween though! :)

PS - when is Nano? November? Anyone thinking of participating?

PPS - All the links are for IJ - I'm too lazy to edit them for LJ, sorry!)

    *sporfles*

    And also - you're Aziraphale?! SQUEE! Oh, I am looking forward to the comm opening one hundred, trillion times more than I already was :)

    Oh, and this reminds me that I still owe you feedback for that fic. *kicks self*
    • *glomps* Yes! I get to play Aziraphale, which is going to be so. much. fun. Am I right in thinking you'll be playing Sirius? *squees!* Do you have a second? I'm getting so so so excited for the opening too!

      *hugs* No owing! *blushes* I haven't even managed to get back to read the Reversathon stories yet, including yours. I just think it's incredibly wonderful of you to have read it. ♥
      • Yes, I will be Sirius :)

        I haven't chosen a second character as yet and don't know that I will. I can't think of any book characters that I'd use and I'm not very good with non-book fandoms, like movies or TV, because I don't rewatch them as often as I reread books and so I miss the subtleties.

        Will you still be hex-files-ing? I can imagine it must be a bit of a gear change between RP-ing Voldie and RP-ing Aziraphale ;)

        I not only read it, but I loved your Reversathon fic! There was one part I've been meaning to tell you (I'll have to go back and re-read) where Harry tells Draco to say something, and Draco does and it's hilarious, and then later on, Harry asks Draco to fogive him, and Draco does, and... Aw, even though it was (only;) H/D, it broke me into iddle pieces :( And it was so fucking clever!
        • Oh, that will be lovely! ♥

          I imagine you will be kept awfully busy with Sirius - I hear he's a handful. *giggle* :D Very interesting choice for an avatar, too - how did you decide on Hugh?

          No, I'd already left Hex Files before I found out about Seaside. I haven't made an announcement yet. I left 'cause my HP muse is seriously dead - I'm so glad seaside's multi-fandom!

          Hee - yeah going from someone with no conscience to someone who's almost entirely conscience. :D I hope I don't make the poor thing Fall...

          *hugs and hugs* That is so amazingly wonderful to hear, thank you. :D :D :D Really, the prompt [info]lillithium gave was so wonderful to work with - I just got lucky. *loves*
          • Oh yes, that's why I love him so! *huggles Sirius*

            And Hugh because he's the only man I can think of who is (i) pretty and (ii) looks really, really good with long hair.

            So he makes a good Sirius whether it's pre or post-Azkaban :)

            OoooOOOoooooooh, Fallen!Aziraphale... *craves* Even if you decide not to play him that way, somebody needs to write that fic!
  • NaNo, oh dear me. Yes, November.
    First the first time in ten years I do not have exams this November, so I'll definitely be doing NaNo again.

    Woohoo for school! (and grants!) Good luck.
    How much of a whole whatever is 16 credits? (I went looking at Grad certificates yesterday, and they're 120 credits at the Uni I want (that's about 2 years full time).)

    I'm getting really excited (a little impatient now *g*) about [info]seasidecafe, too.
    • Oh, wonderful! Both the exams and the NaNo - I'll definitely at least try this time. :)

      Thank you. ♥ Full time's considered 12 credits and the most you are allowed to take's 18 - I couldn't take 18 because of the way the credits per course worked out. :) Wow, 120 credits in two years could kill a person here!

      Are you going to take a Grad program?

      I LOVE your character choices for Seaside, by the way - especially in Whoverse. I loved that episode and found the character very interesting. Am so looking forward to what you do with her!
      • One first year subject, so a sixth or an eighth of a fulltime load in the course is 15 points.

        I don't know. Maybe. The new plan is a grand travel tour starting next year with Terminus. Then it might be Art History as Graduate diploma after that. But it might also be art restoration and conservation. Because there are less words in that. Fewer essays.

        Eee! Thanks. I loved Reinette, and I was disappointed that I couldn't find any Rose/Reinette fic.
        This gives me an excuse to watch the episode again. It was written by the guy who wrote Empty Child/The Doctor Dances with Jack, and Blink with the stone angels, which is on here on Saturday.

        Doctor Who has taken over a lot of my fannishness.
