The most amazing comm quicky_bang is currently running a new round, and the wonderful kuwlshadow chose my silly little crack fic Dawn of a New Age and created the following brilliant banner for it:



I cannot tell you how ridiculously pleased I am - this is exactly how I pictured squirrel!Dean and moose!Sam. :D

Thank you so much, kuwlshadow, for this beautiful banner. I love it at least as much as Dean loves pie! ♥

If anyone would like to shower kuwlshadow with feedback, please leave it here. :)

There's a new (for now SPN-focused) comm called quicky_bang where you can post teasers of your fic and if you're lucky, an artist claims your fic and creates some art for it.

And I was VERY lucky! :D

The wonderful milly_gal snagged my J2 fic Everything's Bigger in Texas (LJ | AO3) and created the most amazing art for it! You can have a look-see by either clicking on the fic links or by visiting her art masterpost.

Either way, please leave her lots of love.

Thank you again, Milly!!! ♥

This is a quick but very important update on my initial post here.

Jared and Jeffrey, sittin' in a tree...

SLO-MO GIF FOR THE FRIGGIN' WIN!!!

Snaggled it from alexisjane who grabbed it from septembers_coda who ganked it from vyperdd... (I love my fandom!)

(Seriously, they can't tell me it was an accident. I mean, they say it was. I just refuse to accept it. *adjusts tin hat*)

Eternal gratitude to theatregirl7299 for initially mentioning this! ♥

I always knew there were some unresolved Daddy Issues...

Ah Jared. First drunk!livestreaming (and going to bed!) with Jensen, now on stage smoochies with Jeffrey Dean. *happy sigh*

(I need a JDM icon. Stat!)

Screw the Emmys. The Foreign Press knows greatness when they see it!

I have so much love for all the flailing that's been going on on Twitter, from other WC cast and crew to co-stars from other movies, not to mention the press. THE PRESS IS JUST AS HAPPY.

Well deserved, Matty. Very well deserved. :D :D :D

The fandom stockings have been revealed, and I've spent today perusing the fillers people left in my stocking.

I may have hurt myself flailing. :D

Do yourself a favor and take a peek at all the goodies!

There are a whole bunch of awesome kitteh icons (yes, I'll happily share, and ZOMG I can't decide which ones to pick!), absolutely mouth-watering recipes, art and ficcage!

As far as stories go, all I can say is, my buttons were pushed. HARD. (Spankies! And Adler/Neal dub-con! \o/)

And I know it's not really fair to single out a specific stocking filler, but I do need to share this particular art because ZOMG PLOTBUNNY BITE!!! (click for full size)





Damn you, kanarek13! DAMN YOU!!! LOL!

Thank you so very much, everyone who was nice and generous enough to fill my stocking! *feels very loved*

Thank you, everyone, for all the birthday wishes and pressies and what not. I feel very loved at the moment. :)

As a perfect cherry on top, I got to meet Matty again today (however briefly) and had my upper and lower brain functions short-circuit when he looked like this on set:

( pic behind cut because of potential wee spoiler )

I will do a more coherent post and thank everyone individually tomorrow, but for now, I just wanted to throw a gigantic Thank You! into the crowd. :D

kanarek13 is the most brilliant artist I know (and we have some amazing artists in our midst!) and I love, love, love her artwork. Always have, always will.

kanarek13 is also one of the most generous, wonderful people I've ever been lucky enough to meet (even if it's only been online...for now!).

I thought I couldn't adore her any more...and then she goes and sends me this:



(click on the masterpiece for the full-sized version)

She created this cover art for my silly little story The Little Merman. I'm completely blown away by the art, and it makes my fic a million times better (the visual! GUH!).

THANK YOU, my dearest Kanarek, for making this for me and giving it to me so generously.  I ♥ you so much!!!

Two gorgeous men in tuxes (and matching glasses!):



rabidchild must have had a serious flailing attack last night. *g*

(Is it just me? I keep waiting for them to whip their glasses off, don their capes and turn into Superman.)

Added plus: Neil Patrick Harris and Bryan Cranston won a Tony each! :D (wish I could see Hedwig live *sadface*)

I'm so excited, I could do somersaults!



Lookee at my shiny new LJ header, all courtesy of the wonderful elrhiarhodan!

Ai wuvz U, Elr!



Thank you so much!!! :D

Major spoiler for what happened in the S5 finale, so this manip is behind a cut.

Found this on tumblr and am completely riveted.

( awesomecake behind cut )

This is just stunningly gorgeous!

(and the view of Manhattan ain't bad either...*g*)

Clicken to embiggen!

kanarek13 created some cover art for my fic Canine Confessions, and I'm lovin' it!!! :D :D :D

Lookee here:

The look on Neal's face kills me!!! Hee.

Thanks so much, kanarek13!

GetYourWordsOut: Year Six!
Pledges & Requirements | GYWO.net


And yes, I upped the ante. I signed up for Moderate (250K) instead of this year's Basic (200K).

Then again, I thought I had signed up for 150K initially, so I suddenly had to find another 50K in me, and I managed just fine. Granted, I haven't reached my goal yet (about 10K more to go) but with the 12 Days of Ficmas, I'm positive I'll make it. :)

So, what's another 50K next year, right? :)

Which, of course, means that I'll continue to need your prompts on a monthly basis. *g*

And now go forth and pledge as well! There's anything from 150K to ludicrous 500K. I dare ya. I double-dare ya!

elrhiarhodan is made of awesomecake with ZOMG-icing.

Just so you know.

That is all.

(Oh, you wanna know why? Because she made me this icon. *points* YUM!)

(If anyone feels inspired and wants to write back alley dirty sex PWP ficlets, I won't stop ya.)

(You know, just puttin' it out there...)

Thank you, Elr!!! :D :D :D

'tis the time to be jolly...and charitable.

Lots of folks take part in the yuletides and wishlists that are floating around in the fandom world these days. I'd like to do something a little different.

"My" wishlist can be found here. Santa CAN organizes a gift drive for foster kids in Los Angeles (my old hometown). Please have a look at the website and then at the registered wish list.

Personally, I think this is the most awesomest thing ever (thank you to Willie Garson for tweeting about this) and I whole-heartedly support this organization. In fact, I've already bought a gift for a little girl that I hope will make her holidays a bit brighter this year.

Here's where you come in: If you go and play Santa for a child (or two or three...) and buy a present, I will write you a story! Easy, ain't it?

1. Peruse the wish list. Everyone is able to spend something! There are gifts for less than 10 dollars, people!
2. Follow the instructions to buy the gift. It's easy. I just did it and it took me less than five minutes. You can pay by credit card or PayPal, for example, so even non-US residents can be Santa.
3. You will receive a confirmation email. Forward this email to me or send a screen shot of the confirmation to me at sinfulslasher @ gmail.com so I can see that (a) you did buy a gift and (b) how much it cost.
4. Comment here to let me know (a) that you played Santa and (b) what your prompt(s) is/are.

I cannot promise 100 words per dollar spent (if you buy something for over 100 dollars, I'll be...writing for a long time... O_o LOL!). However, I will do my best to match the amount spent with the words I'll write. And I'm generally wordy, so there's that.

You can prompt me with anything. Challenge me! :-) You know my fandoms/characters/pairings. If you're unsure, feel free to ask! I'll try my best to give you what you want, I promise! You can give me one prompt for a longer story or two or more prompts for ficlets if you bought a more expensive gift (or more than one small gift). The sky's the limit here. I will write as many stories as there are folks willing to participate!

Please note: Because I think this is a damn worthy cause, these stories will have top priority and will be written asap! (among the other commissioned fics)

All gifts must be received by December 16th, which gives y'all about a month to play Santa!

( Here's a screen shot of the confirmation email I received )

As the gift is worth 30 bucks, I'd now write myself a 3K story. :-)

I really, really hope that many of my awesome flisters will decide to give a little something to make a child's holidays happier! THANK YOU!!!

(by the way, this will count as my January Edition of my Unwritten Stories Meme, with the difference that I'm obviously writing complete stories and not just a snippet about the unwritten story)

Donation 1 (for 3,300 words) by hawk_soaring:
* Explicit dark!fic (NCIS or White Collar, preferably dark!Tony as serial killer) - FILLED! (~1,200 words)
* Gibbs introduces Tony to the world of BDSM...on an undercover assignment. It doesn't take long for Tony to realize Gibbs isn't acting. And it doesn't take long for Gibbs to realize he's never letting Tony go. - FILLED! (~3,500 words)

Donation 2 (for 2,900 words) by cinderella81: - FILLED! (~3,100 words)
* Something supernatural, but lighthearted. Perhaps Shannon comes down and gently nudges Gibbs and Tony together. Car problems, water main broken, etc...just trying to get them together :D

Donation 3 (for 1,200 words) by sexycazzy - FILLED! (~1,400 words)
* a crossover with NCIS/WhiteCollar - a superpower AU where everyone has got a special power of some kind...expect Tony who doesn't have any powers. His team at the NCIS looks down on him and use him like an errand boy for not having any power. He doesn't feel appreciated enough. On one case, NCIS and WC has to join forces to work on a case, and the WC team is impressed with Tony's investigating skills and wants to recruit him for their own team, and doesn't care that Tony doesn't have any kind of a power.
or
* Tony/Neal, every Christmas Tony always goes to see Neal and they spend time together before going back to their respective jobs. Cue sexy times as hell! :D

Donation 4 (for 3,000 words) by lov_pb - FILLED! (~3,300 words)
* Would adore a pre-series H/C fic with Peter and Neal thrown together into danger from an outside force. Neal must use his wiles to protect Peter from a baddie he's worked with in the past. Peter, suspicious and injured, struggles with the trust issue. :)

Donation 5 (for 1,000 words) by cookielaura - FILLED! (~1,500 words)
* Peter/Neal pre-slash - one (or both) of them agonising over whether to send Christmas presents/Valentine's cards/a birthday present which will show their true feelings.

Because rabidchild has evil powers, she has lured me into doing the 12 Days of Ficmas thingy she's been doing for the last few years.

Evil!RC is evil. Just so you know.

So anyway.

Here's what the 12 Days of Ficmas are basically about:

I will (try to) post a story a day for 12 days straight, beginning on December 24.

This will be my December Edition of the Unwritten Story Meme I've been doing since forever, by the way, so please do not be alarmed that this is posted early. But I want some time to mentally prepare myself. *g*

You may now leave me prompts for the 12 Days of Ficmas challenge, and I'll do my best to fill them! :-)
* fandoms: White Collar, NCIS, X Files (crossovers welcome)
* prompts should be, if at all possible, winter-themed (they do not have to be Christmas-themed, but can be, if you like -- I'd be thrilled to write Hanukkah-themed fics for my Jewish friends, but I'm afraid I just know too little about it to do it justice, sorry *sadface*)
* please try to keep the prompts simple enough to allow me to fill them without writing semi-epics... O_o (then again, you know me...wordy is my middle name...)

In closing: rabidchild is evil! (but I love her anyway)

( And now...onwards to the prompts! )

I won second place in the first round of whitecollarlas. Go me! That means I get to spend a weekend with Neal, right? Right??? *checks rules*

I'll post my fic "The Promise" officially in a li'l while. ETA: Officially posted! In the meantime, I'd be curious to hear if anyone thought that this was my story or not. (A couple folks mentioned they weren't sure but thought one or two of them could have been mine. I'm wondering which stories they were and how good I am at disguising my writing style! LOL)

Huge thanks goes to cookielaura for being an awesometastic organizer! Looking forward to the second round! (There will be a second round, right?!)
