Whoa! I received a belated surprise birthday gift which really left me dumbstruck, in the happiest of ways. This incredible "movie poster" fan art was done by the amazingly sweet ArtCrawl on deviantART, who is one of my favorite artists; I aspire to her level! Please be sure to click on the image to check it out-in all its epic glory-at her Gallery ( Read more... )

Oh my gosh, thank you to everyone! My birthday was on the 23rd, and I'm usually quite flippant regarding it. After so many years, it does become "just another day" since I am not a party-type with many friends where I live.

XD I don't know how solid the timeline is for this one, and I haven't broken down the chapters yet in any sort of guide; it might be a slow progress as I build on action and those scenes in ( Read more... )

Back at the drawing board. Or rather, the writing desk. I'm slowly getting back onto my feet after some family stuff, and back into the habit of writing again, I hope. I've had this beginning blurb saved on my hard-drive since March and it's undergone several alterations. Originally, it was going to be the opening of my "crack-ship" fanfic for ( Read more... )

Now, I like cool fights and badass style as much as anyone. But if you've even skimmed parts of my YJ fan fiction, you'll notice I enjoy exploring superheroes as real emotional people, with passions and fears that everyone has inherent, but with the ( Read more... )
