I've been skipping my graphic design classes--instead, I stay home and futz around with Creative Suite. I made a cover for laurajv's fic, The Word For World is--:



So, uh, hey. Who wants a cover for their fic? (It'll be a collage cover, like above.) I'll take the first five that ask--for now at least, maybe more later?

It helps if it's neither a PWP nor more than 10,000 words, or else give me a short excerpt of the best part. I can try to do fandoms I don't know anything about if you give me a little character background, the setting, and a rundown on which items are significant (the turtle, the lemon, the Cash poster, the Impala, etc).

I have returned bearing vastly improved drawing skills learned from My Other Life (look, Ma! no ref, except for faces!). My friend's been trying to get me into Supernatural, which inexplicably made me feel an intense wave of nostalgia for Due South instead. So here's RayK and Fraser, my One True OTP (One True One True Pairing?):

I just got some Google Wave invite nomination things. The fandom waves are looking a little lonely, and it kind of reminds me of the old mailing list days.

I'm saving some for RL friends, but comment or email me or whatever if you want a Wave invite. Um, it's under my real name for now (I sent an invite to my fandom account but it hasn't arrived yet), so, er, just keep it on the DL.

Is everyone moving to Dreamwidth? I'm really out of the loop! :'( But just in case, I've claimed my username over there.

I suck so bad! I haven't updated in a long while!

I've been living on $800 a month including rent, and we don't have TV and it's always 55 degrees in the house, haha, and I spend most of my time drawing useless things (such as me fighting frogs with a baseball bat). Now I'm staying with my parents for a month working on samples for a possible lifestyle/editorial illustration portfolio. I've been reading some Merlin but I'm not really all that into the fic, but earlier tonight I was talking with my friend about how great fandom is and I suddenly missed it terribly.

THE GOOD NEWS FROM REAL LIFE LAND: I'm going to be in Popgun 3! (I think! If the editors let me be in 3! I might end up stuck in 4, though...) I will leave it up to you to figure out which one's my comic. Also, I got ~*discovered*~ by an art director who saw me drawing in a coffee shop, and his company paid me $250 for five hours of work.

THE BAD NEWS FROM REAL LIFE LAND: $100 of that immediately went to my landlord as a late fee for my rent, ouch. Also, my dad got laid off. Oh, and I have carpal tunnel syndrome! It's early days yet so I'm wearing braces at night to keep my wrists straight and trying to avoid too much typing.

NEUTRAL NEWS FROM REJECTION LAND: Oh yeah, and I hit on a valet at the Marriott who turned out to be my friend's brother who I met two years ago at a party and who remembered ME. I had no recollection of him. Small world, right?

CAT NEWS: I just watched The Cat Returns. That is basically my fantasy, to be abducted by a bunch of walking talking cats to CAT KINGDOM, except I tried to pet a cat once and then I rubbed my eye and my eye turned red because actually I'm allergic to cats.
