some whining, some fanart

[dollarformyname]

I've had a huge block in all things creative this year (which sucks for more than fannish reasons; my job kind of relies on it too), but I'm trying really, really hard to fix it. In fact, after tooling around with pictures last night I sat down and wrote 4,000 words of fic. Just. Not anything I was needing to focus on. SOMETHING ALL NEW TO LEAVE UNFINISHED ARGH.

My muse is like one of those people who drives and drives and refuses to admit that they're lost--Maps? Where we're goin' we don't need no stinkin' maps!--and by the time they decide that okay, they might be a little turned around, they're at the bottom of the ocean.

Meh. But it's a start, right?

:/

Anyway.

I made some kinda-random art stuff. I've got a few fics on the backburner that I'm trying to gear myself up to write/finish. (Can you guess from the art what they might focus on? :P) Yeah, so that's mostly why this post is happening. I knew I had a point when I started.

My muse won't admit for needing maps, though I often see her with a sat nav trying to sneakily work things out.

I especially love the Adam ones...Adam is awesome.

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Haha, I suppose no one really needs maps these days, do they? Well, my muse and I will just have to be behind the times (gah, I'm only twenty-something!). ♥

(I'm about to respond to your e-mail. My computer is being s l o w, though. This comment might finish loading before I finish writing it, but I won't hold my breath.)

Well damn! Very pretty, but also le muse just hit me with a pairing Ben/Adam would be hella interesting *sigh* Snagging a few will credit when use. Oops, forgot - thank you!!!! Distracted on a possible new pairing ;)

[ladyknightanka.livejournal.com]

This is random (and hopefully not creepy, lol), but if you write Ben/Adam, stranger, I'd totally read. :D

[denyce.livejournal.com]

I'm seriously considering it. Have a few things to get out first. Right now I'm writing a DA/BtVS piece with Alec/Spike. Then have a SPN gen piece that will feature Adam (when John first meets Adam).

But yes I like the idea of Ben who is a bit crazy and Adam (minus Michael - I like the idea of very hurt, angry, fucked up Adam. Kind of a crazy meets crazy ;)

Though if anyone else is inspire please go for it and write ;)

[ladyknightanka.livejournal.com]

I have too many muses, too, with a couple of big bangs and fics I owe under my belt, but I must say, all of these ideas sound awesome! There just isn't enough stuff about John interacting with Adam, you can never go wrong with a heaping helping of Spike, and crazy!Ben/fucked up!Adam sounds like my kinda pairing. ;) I hope you can get to all that. Can I friend you? I'd like to read whatever you end up finishing. :D

[denyce.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, friend away ;)

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

BEN/ADAM WHAT. I will read the shit outta that! OH, just imagine all the scary if it's post-Hell Adam OMG YOU HAVE TO WRITE THIS NOW.

Ahem. Thank you! I'm glad you like the art. I'm even gladder it brought about inspiration!

[denyce.livejournal.com]

LOL! Yeah no I'm thinking post hell minus Michael. Sadly I can't write it now as I'm working on my DA bigbang another xover Alec/Spike. But yes, I they'd be awesome =)

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Alec/Spike? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE. Oh, god, when is this amazing fic of epic amazingness going to be done? I never knew I needed it until now.

[denyce.livejournal.com]

You made my day, I'm excited someone besides me would have any interest =)
I'm writing it for darkangel_bb. Had the idea that Maggie Welsh was a former Manticore personal, but got caught and Manticore took all of her projects back including a chipped Spike ;)

I have a deadline for the draft May 30, so this summer. Thank you so much for the encouragement, I needed it today =)

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Oh! I signed up as an artist for that challenge. Duh. I shoulda connected the dots. Holy crap, I want to claim this fic righthefucknow. Definite interest. SPN/DA/Buffyverse (or any variation thereof) xovers are my true looooooooooves! And you're nailing all my fave characters here.

I actually had a fic idea tying the Initiative/Manticore way back when, but I never got anywhere with it, so this is all kinds of AWESOME.

Well, okay. That tears it. I'm just gonna hafta friend you now.

And, by all means, if you need more encouragement, I am willing to cheerlead the HELL out of this story. JSYK.

[denyce.livejournal.com]

Hee, friend away, will definitely bring this fic with me tonight. Your excitement is motivating - will work on this when I have some quiet time, thank you!!

[ladyknightanka.livejournal.com]

I love all of these, and I've never even seen Dark Angel, but hot damn, Jensen is pretty in it! <3 Adam looks lovely, too, especially in the two colored ones. The colors just seem starker, somehow, and the first with Adam's face is probably my favorite. His eyes are gorgeous and, aww, lookit those (bitchface) dimples! xD

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Jensen is indeed pretty in all things. He's the only reason I even watched the show, honestly. Glad you dug the art!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Also: bitchface dimples! HA. I concur. That face he's making? That's the epitome of Winchester smart-ass, right there. ♥ ADAM ♥

[piecesofrapture.livejournal.com]

my god these are pretty, *blinded by the shiny*

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks so much!

[angel-gospel.livejournal.com]

Gah, so much pretty! I love Jake and Jensen in all their different roles. <3

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thank ya kindly! I don't know about all their roles, but I love the ones I've seen so far. :D

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon!

[sixxsixxsixx23.livejournal.com]

So much pretty! Stealing your lovely Adam banner. Will credit. Now, if only I could actually figure out how to put a banner up in my journal...

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! This tutorial shows how to add a header with CSS for Flexible Squares, if you're still looking. If you've got a different layout style , try doing a search for whatever style you're using, plus how to add a header :) Hope that helps!

[ldyghst.livejournal.com]

Pretty! *pets Alec*

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[ikira.livejournal.com]

All of these are beautiful, by the way.

And I'm sorry about your muse. They're fickle little bastards aren't they?

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

They are, indeed. Thanks so much!

[nights-fang.livejournal.com]

*_* Pretty.

Taking 10 from the Adam batch and the textless banner for my rp account.

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you liked them. :)

[egsparks.livejournal.com]

OMG 0_0 those are BEAUTY to the EYES !!!! Simply gourgiouse !!!!! LOVE ♥♥ LOVE LOVE them.... liked Adam and would like if they bring him back....

Re: EYE-CANdy

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! ♥ They DO need to bring him back, trufax. But I think at this point he's gotta be pretty pissed at having been forgotten. Adam coming back as the new big bad would be kind of awesome, though.

And now I want to write that. Damn it. Curse the days with only 24 hours in them. ;)
