~~i'm having a tough time of it but i'll make a personal post later~~

For now though, some awesome people are putting together an awesome Bang!

It's a low key, DELICIOUSLY HORRIFIC fest, with small wordcount requirements (3k or more!) and it is in the genre most dear to my heart. Im sorely tempted to participate either as a writer or an artist OR BOTH, but I'll decide soon. Author signups start tomorrow and go on for about 10 days, so seriously consider entering this! I know I will be eating up the stories and art when they come around :)

A recent multi fandom project showed there are a lot of authors wishing for art to go with their stories and a lot of artists with a desire to create. Both were not sure how to approach each other. I hope to bring y'all together in this new Supernatural art-community:

quicky_bang!
The main challenge is for authors to offer short stories to artists to illustrate, but there is also a corner for art-prompts and a meet up post for collaborations. Sign up, join in, spread the news!

quicky_bang
Round 1: submit short stories until April 30th; create art before May 31st

I'm trying to decide if i want to throw my artist's hat into the ring - I'll give it a few days to see if maybe I can actually complete what I sign up for.

The claims post is open at

spn_j2_bigbang, and there are still a LOT of excellent summaries left unclaimed. Go and grab yourself one, artists! As far as I know, it's not too late to sign up for arting :D

Some lovely friends of mine are modding this exciting comm:

Sam as Samson!

Prompt list goes up May 1st, bidding goes up May 3rd :)

For full-sized art (click on pic for FULL full size) go ( under the cut )

I've signed up for the spn_j2_bigbang.

As an author.

Edit: Also signed up for this:

Cakebang, the SPN + SPN RPF podfic big bang, is back for ROUND TWO!
About | Podficcer Sign Ups | Artist Sign Ups

Very few people have signed up so far, so if you're interested, take a peek! There have been no artist sign-ups, and the minimum artists have to do is a podfic cover.

So yeah, I said I wasn't going to sign up for any art challenges this year. Guess my brain decided other challenges were a-okay!

I've started a new community:

wedraweveryday!

This is a community for those who wish to art every day.

Anyone can join, watch or post.

Despite the name, any kind of art is welcome, be it stained glass, sculpture, papercutting, figurine painting, photography, anything at all!

You don't have to post every day, unless you want to. You don't have to post everything you draw, unless you want to.

You can post anything, from stick figures to the roughest of sketches to doodles to linearts to WIPs to finished works. There's no pressure for anything to be perfect or polished - this is about drawing every day, not being perfect every day :) Though if you want constructive criticism, you're free to post asking for that, too!

I'll try to have a ~~daily~~ post twice weekly wherein people can comment about what they've been working on, or leave links to things they don't want to post as entries. ~~(Should I post daily, or once a week?~~ Twice a week? ~~Feedback on this is appreciated.)~~

Encouraging comments are encouraged :D

wedraweveryday! Join, watch, post, spread the word! The more people the better :)

spnrp

Hello all!

It's so great being back home that I've been neglecting my online activities. I've tried to skim through my flist, and I've bookmarked a few fics to read, but other than that I've been going to the beach and hanging out with my family and stuff. It's so great :D

There are, however, not-so-great things about being out in public. One of them is that in the South (and probably everywhere else) people are opinionated and feel entitled to share their opinions with complete strangers, no matter how offensive @_@ So I went with my sister to Boy Scout camp to pick up a nephew's fishing rod that he lost, and while I was waiting, I stepped out of the car to smoke and had this awkward conversation with another smoking man.

( under the cut for hateful language and talk of sexuality )

Commissions! I'm working on them. Life got really busy last week, but I'll be putting my nose to the grindstone this week and getting some serious progress made. If you're reading this, feel free to prod me in a week if you want to know where I am with your commission. Otherwise, if I don't have a rough sketch or any progress to show you within a week's time, I'll email you and let you know I haven't forgotten you. Even if you're not reading this, lol.

One more thing! I have a very special place in my heart for this meme, because it was here that I posted my first two pictures and my first fic in the SPN fandom. It's a great meme and it produces some wonderful fanworks, and I think EVERYBODY should take part in it.

Go Go Prompt and Fill! :D

I got so many lovely messages and gifts yesterday! Thanks to everyone who sent me a birthday message, and thanks to

milly_gal for the picspam, thanks to

amber1960 for the adorable picture, thanks to

dont_hate_me01 for the v-gift, and thanks to

dolnmoon and

memoonster for the gift :D

I'm settling in to my new place still, and it was wonderful to be able to spend my birthday with my family. I slept in, watched a little Walking Dead, had Chinese lunch with my sister, watched my nephews play in the pool (and yelled at them for putting sand in it lol) and then invented the Butt Cannon with them (farts flying in everyone's faces!!!), had burgers for dinner, cuddled extensively with my boyfriend (who's working his first week at his new job, yay!) then had cake while I forced my mom and sister to watch Teen Wolf with me, lol. We're about to get to the Season 2 finale, and they were so eager to find out what the (thing) was and (who) was (what)ing it. It got me all excited too. (I've tried to sell them on Supernatural, but it's 2spooky for my sister.)

I also want to draw your attention to a new comm!

pornapalooza

It's basically a multi-fandom pornfest, with some possible upcoming challenges and things, and I'm hoping it'll give me the impetus I need to pick up my tablet and start drawing again. I sooo miss drawing, but I haven't found my groove again. I'll find it eventually :) Hopefully sooner than later!

Thanks again to everyone, those who made my birthday brighter and those who helped me get here so that I could spend my birthday around people I love :) Funds are currently stretched too thin for me to have gotten any gifts or have a party-party, but we're planning on me having a second birthday the weekend after my bf gets his first paycheck. Two birthdays in a month=major win \o/

*I FIXED MY TABLET.

*I FIXED MY TABLETTTT

*every bone in my body says LIVESTREAM TOMORROW

*Signed up for

spn_j2_bigbang! I got my first choice with a really great-sounding story, and my author is super nice and friendly! And most of the other ones I was interested in were claimed by super artists, and i'm already looking forward to seeing the end results @_@ (There were SO many excellent-sounding stories; my first narrowed-down list was almost twenty summaries long, and it was all sam/dean. You authors have outdone yourselves!)

*If you are an artist for the bigbang, there is an art beta post at

omgspnbigbang right here. Sign up as a possible art beta or bookmark it for later! I've never seen a thing like that, and I think it's really cool :3 I have signed up offering my beta services for, among other things, "advice on genitals and butts and realism of positioning" Jesus, I shouldn't leave serious comments when I'm giddy, lol.

*Not signed up for enough bigbangs? This may ameliorate your low bigbang levels:

Sign ups open Sunday, May 5 for the first round of

wincest_bigbang.
A fanfic and fanart challenge dedicated to the Winchester family!!!

Signups start today! but I accidentally signed up a few days ago because I'm a dork, haha.

*I love summer-themed commentfic/art memes! Here is one that just started:

I think that's it. Now I'm so emotionally exhausted I need a nap, lol. MY EXCHANGE ART. MY LANGUISHING WIPS. MY DIGITAL PAINTBRUSH. I'll have to keep messing with traditional, but man. adsfikhja;sdf

*I've decided that this week will be podfic week! If you don't care for podfics, sorry, lol. I've been raiding

salt_burn_porn because this last round was fantastic, so I've got a handful of short-ish podfics to post. Gotta record one more, and I'll be set.

*My tablet's still dead. I just can't get up the nerve to try to fix it myself. I may have to wait until my birthday to see if I get some birthday money, so I can send it off to be fixed, because I can't fit the repair cost into my budget realistically. I just feel generally frustrated about art, so I've been podficcing instead, but next week I'm going to try to get back into the swing of drawing every day.

*I am feeling better. Doing spring cleaning to get rid of whatever dust and cat hair I can, because just allergies alone have been sapping the life out of me. So that means I'm finally finishing unpacking my room, six months after the move. yaaaay spring cleaning

*Now allow me to pimp a few things!

I am super super lucky, because

fantamae recorded my very first SPN fic And you would be a fool, a fic I wrote with such gleeeee, and have such loving memories of. And she did such an amazing job of it! :o I love it so much :D She makes it so FUN, I just keep listening to it. I'm so excited about this :D

Please go and have a look at her post here
podfic podfic podfic
and give it a listen if you're into that sort of thing. Sam/Dean, cuddle-curse! lol She does wonderful voices for the boys, and just, it's fantastic. I am out of words to use on it, haha. Go listen, and tell her what an incredible job she did! <3
