Primordial Soup

I am kicking off seasonal-spuffy this round.

And what have I done? I've only gone and completed the Black Widow Graphic Novel I might have mentioned once!

If I had say, several large PDF documents I needed hosting on the interwebs, where could I put them up so people could see/download them?

Ideally, I would use my own webspace, but there is not enough room and I don't think Virgin will extend my allowance (this has been a problem for some time and may force me to pay for webspace eventually).

I'm really fed up with hearing about the sodding Titanic.

So the Olympic torch will be passing the end of my street, on a Sunday, at a reasonable hour in July. I really don't have much of an excuse to not bother with the momentous event then, do I? Seeing that's it's made such an effort to get to me.

Thanks to arabian, tabitha666 and janedavitt for the weyr of dragons!

Thanks to petzipellepingo, tabitha666 again and j2disney_mod (am I missing something there?) for the crystal hearts!

Thank you to all those who sent me a Valentine's heart!

The Bogwitch House of Couture has been hard at work again! My stitching has improved but not a lot.

Anyway, I threatened quinara with photos.

( For some reason Barbie has got into PVC clubwear... )

Look another one!

Working My Way Back To You

No characters were harmed in the making of this fic. They do not belong to me, but are the property of Fox Entertainment and Mutant Enemy.

Summary: Spike/Buffy. Post-Chosen, Post Hellbound. What did you think the First Evil was doing after the closure of the Hellmouth? Knitting evil jumpers?

Keep up in PDF! WORKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU IN PDF Just like a book might be, only better (if I keep telling myself that, it might prove to be true)!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes and to just_ruth for the vgift fireworks. Just right for Chinese New Year!

Wow! It’s a new chapter of Working! To all those still reading his labour of Hercules, I am so, so, sorry for the delay. I was completely stuck, i.e. my excuse is the same as always.

I did at least get this done for the eighth (eighth!) anniversary of the posting of the first chapter. That’s something, eh?

Hee. I bet there aren’t many girls that get a Stanley knife and a book about fonts for their birthday! (It is a good, funny, book though (‘Just My Type’ by Simon Garfield. Check it - as the youngsters say) and I will use the knife eventually for some project or other). Anyway later I shall be off to Wagamamas for some top grub.

Speaking of projects, the end of last week was mega-productive creatively (see my post later for the gob-smacking details and some grovelling). Not only have I managed to pull my writing fingers out at last, I even managed to make some Barbie clothes. (What? Me sewing? Surely not! Though calling what I did ‘sewing’ is vastly over-stating what actually happened, please don’t look too closely at the ‘stitching’, which my dad lovingly compared to field surgery).

Anyway, I made a laced corset thing which I am considering a first draft at the moment as it needs some refining, an unremarkable black tube skirt/little black dress combo and an evening gown that I am amazed doesn’t look too shabby!

Therefore:

Finally managed to take a picture in the daylight:



She's lovely and she's fast. :)

Here's a nice little quiz to help while away those long winter nights: My Little Pony or Porn Star?

I scored 32...

Well, thus far the year has proved to be exciting and (very expensive)!

My poor old car has been confirmed as being in it's death throes and therefore I have had to purchase a new one. Yesterday I found a lovely black VW Bora and today it's mine! £1,500 over my budget, but never mind - finally I will have a car I want! I might even clean this one. I get it Friday.

Oh, and the Council fixed that hole in my roof by the way.

Oh dear, oh dear.

Like last year, production on the writing front has been a bit on the spartan side, especially as the year went on and laughably tried to concentrate on Working My Way Back to You (laughable as I have been finding this next chapter so, so hard), but I can’t even say that I was even trying to write for much of the time alas. I do want to write, it's just not coming. I am also finding that I'm not very enthusiastic about posting it when I do finish it.

So most of my creative energy this year then seemed to go into art (if you can call Barbie Buffy ‘art’!), making up for the complete lack of it in 2010.

The highlight of my fandom year (the BtVS part of it anyway) has been the fun fest that sb_fag_ends continues to be; especially the Halloween challenge. We must do more of that.

So this is the full list of my creations for 2011:

BtVS and AtS

Limblessly in Love
Companion piece to Black Widow
(It really feels like an absolute age since I wrote this)

No Escape
Spike/Buffy semi-naughtiness

Now that writing meme I always do:

Did I really spend practically all of Christmas Day watching Screenwipe on YouTube? Good grief, I did.

So I'm sitting here. Typing. Listening to the rain and the not-so soft plink of water dripping from the light fitting in the sitting room into a bowl I think will overflow when I go to bed. The cat is fascinated.

Between this and the fact I think my car is dying too, I think I'm going to need a bigger overdraft. And a second job.

Drat it all.

I made this little wallpaper about million years ago and liked it at the time, but now I don't so I updated it and made it better and stuff. It's also the base image for this years sb_fag_ends advent calendar prompt madness! The Spike/Buffy inclined come and join in! Readers, writers, artists, vidders welcome!





.

I did a couple of Barbie scenes to illustrate prompts at sb_fag_ends this month and I wanted to bring them over here.

( Further evidence to my madness under the cut )

petzipellepingo indulged my blatant begging and asked for The Vampire Diaries...

( She asked for Damon and Alaric )


You can still request a scene here. Non-Buffy requests totally encouraged!

Back to this nonsense. I have several of these to post.

First uphesadevil wanted Angel and Spike's fight from Destiny.

I found this a bit tricky, to be honest. The scene is very dark and there's no one 'iconic' pose with both of them, so I've gone for a sort of mash up of the events.

( Pic under the cut... )

.

Wow. Tonight's a boring night on LJ. You might me make resort to doing the cleaning. Or, you know, writing or something.

.

Oops.

I didn’t mean to let the cobwebs build up and not post for so long. It’s not like I haven’t been around or made posts elsewhere, but I think I sometimes forget that sb_fag_ends is not my home journal because that’s where the action is (or definitely has been of late).

Not that life has been terribly exciting, there's not a lot I can do with my bad knee (have I mentioned that here before?). Halloween was busy with parties, but not a lot else has happened.

However, The Raven Banner, Black Widow and Kiss Chase(!) were nominated for things at the SunnyD Awards, so thank you whomever it was that did that, it's been an eternity since I was nominated for anything! ETA: Actually, you can vote there now.

What else was there? Um. A bit of fic, a bit of Barbie nonsense. I'll leave those for another post, else it'll be another month before I post again!

Ooh, how about Christmas? Who wants a handmade Christmas card, handmade by me? Comments are screened if you want to leave an address.

I don't normally feel the urge to comment because I'm useless at meta and not much good at squee, but ( Cut for spoilers for this week's Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries, mainly Supernatural )

liliaeth asked for the Buffy/Spike scene from Beneath You.

( Follow me... )

You can still request a scene here. Non-Buffy requests totally encouraged! TVD anyone? SPN? Don't let me waste tiny Damon and Dean's leather jacket! Pretty please?
