( DM/HG Fics )

( ICONS )

I swear I'm back this time.

I know I made a post a few weeks ago about me finally getting some online action, but then something RL came up, and I had to leave the interwebz for a while again.

BUT now I'm pretty sure that's settled, so I can get back to fandom stuff.

I was in the middle of catching up with a few DHr fics, so I'll wrap that up, while checking up on you lovely f-list people and the comms. The deadline for hp_triangle  is soooo close, so I guess it's time to set up the stuff, etc etc. I haven't talked to terravayne  in a while, though...

So this week, the only fun thing I did was drive a friend to school (ARC), while breaking the speed limit by...oh, I don't know...25 mph? But that's acceptable, right, if you're going with the traffic. It was a 65 zone, but everyone else were going 80+. Naturally, to avoid getting in an accident, I had to speed up like whoa. I really don't like going against the rules, or breaking the law. But hey, LIFE > LAW.

How was your week, bbs?

I did a little scavenger hunt around the old files in my computer, and I found a fanmix I made a while back. :DDD The original covers were okay, but I felt the need to "update it"... Of course, this could also be an excuse for me to use that gorgeous photo of Tom from GQ.

There's a little story, too, if you follow the legend. ;)



( Slow Spinning Redemption )

This day has been spent productively, I think. I was at Sami's (starsfallforus), and I helped her with her "Tom Felton Project". And by helped I mean sitting on her bedroom floor, watching RENT, while she practically covered her arms and face with charcoal. I'm more of a cartoony artist, really, while she's the one with the traditional training. I doubt I'd be much help anyway.

She didn't really want to show the world her project just yet; she's waiting for the premiere, but I bugged her to let me show the progress. Here's a crappy picture we took with her crappy webcam.



She is "purposefully avoiding the face, because it's very tricky AND I DON'T WANT TO MESS UP TOM'S FACE." Right. Gotcha. I wouldn't want to do that to Tom's face either.

Anyway, now that I'm back home, I should start with my exchange assignments.

Oookay... 0.o

I was doing random searches on eBay, just for fun. And I typed in 'Tom Felton'. This is what I saw:

( Uhm.... whut? )

This oddly brings the Sectumsempra/Sectusempra (??? I lost my copy of HP6) incident. Either it's that, or it's a manip. Either way, I just thought it'd be weird to have that image stuck to any of my windows.

I also thought about buying a DVD set of all 5 Harry Potter movies, since I don't own any. I have a lame VCD copy of GoF, though. Meh. I'm kinda broke right now, so maybe that can wait.

I just finished reading "The Beggar-Thief" by gravidy.

O_O

Wow. It was intense. Very unique, and very different from the DHr fics I've read. But coming from the same author of "Stone Dragons", I'm not surprised. (Maybe a bit, but only because the fic was very unconventional. My head is still spinning.) It was like Star Wars, Star Trek, War of the Worlds, and all other alien movies combined.

It definitely gave me goosebumps, and the ending made me do an involuntary shiver. I want to know what really happened to Hermione...

---

I signed up as an artist for harrypotterbang. It was tempting to sign up as author, but I don't think I'd make it to the end without losing my mind a gajillion times before then. Besides, I still have dyno_drabbles, dramione_duet, and hp_secret_santa to keep me busy. Not to mention hp_triangle in a few weeks.

This is quite an action-packed year for fandom. :D

Received my dramione_duet assignment last night, so I spent most of my time during Mass going over plot bunnies. I am such a sinner. Aside from thinking up ways to go about with my assignment, the latest photo from Tom Felton's shoot with Kai Z Feng kept popping up in my mind. The reason why I like DHr so much is because of Tom, so seeing a really dreamy photo of him just made the Dramione fangirl in me squee and go hyperactive.

Also, I just remembered that I also had an assignment for hp_secret_santa. Still stuck on that. I got quite specific prompts, which is good (saves me the trouble of making one up), and not so good (because my mind is still in pandemonium).

To unwind, I spent an hour reading Fred/Hermione fics over at books_freckles. I don't want to spend too much time there, or I might obsess full-time over F/Hr again. That's the last thing I need, what with all the DHr action I'm in right now. F/Hr can wait.

I am interested in some Draco/Harry, though... I've never been into slash, but the hype over Drarry has always intrigued me. Fic suggestions, anyone?

Finally submitted my hermionebigbang rough draft art. After literally a dozen drafts, I settled with the one I started two weeks ago (and forgot about) and polished it. It's kinda NSFW, I think. I tend to do that with most of my Draco/Hermione fanart.

Also, due to the latest smexy photo of Tom Felton from the Kai Z Feng photoshoot, I tried my hand at icon-making again. I can't seem to make more than a handful, though, so I really admire those people who can spit out large batches of icons in one post. I've only made not more than 20 these past few months, and all of them are in this post, which I shall update now and then should I feel like making more icons.

Meanwhile, over at hp_triangle, we have had 32 people (if I counted right) sign up already, and it's just Day 3! We have 15 more days until sign-ups close, so I expect the first ever Trianglefest will be quite festive. :DDD

Month Two of dmhgchallenge has started, too, so we'll be served with another round of 100-word drabbles in a few weeks. The prompt is earring, so I bet this month's entries will be interesting.

Whew! No wonder I love this fandom so much. There's always something to do, and there are so much creative people around to keep each other entertained. Thank you, JKR. ♥

The first ever Trianglefest is launching! Sign-ups will begin on July 1, so if you think you have time despite the many exchanges and challenges and Big Bangs going around, terravayne and I would love it if you join us in the funness! You may check the timeline here.

Although hp_triangle was born in a little discussion post in dramione, all pairings (or threesomes/triangles) are welcome. You can even go for crazy triangles like the Giant Squid/Hogwarts/Fang...provided there is an equally adventurous participant who'll take it. ;)

I watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen today. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! (Of course.)

I wanted to jump in my seat and clap a hudred times during the movie. The effects were amazing, and there was never a dull moment. The HBP trailer was shown, too, and my god--it gave me goosebumps! It looks even better on the silver screen. Add to my excitement was the teaser trailer for The Last Airbender, which is directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I think the guy's so-so. I hope the movie will be as cool as that teaser.

In other news, my art draft for HBB kinda took up majority of my fandom time, so that's why I haven't been able to work on the fanfic art  lately. The deadline for my HBB art is next month, I think... so by then I'll be able to put up the other stuff.

That's it for now. I'm at my friend Sami's, and there's a plate of carrot cake and vanilla bean ice cream waiting for me downstairs! ;)

I just spent my entire morning reading Sage's The Symmetrical Transit. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do so now. It is 10 chapters long, but who cares? It was so fucking gooooood!

There were so many scenes in that fic that I want to draw, but I can't. Not yet. But I most definitely will after I finish with all the other fic art I have to polish. Almost there, friends! I just got myself a new tablet--an Intuos4, which is a level up from my Graphire. I'm still getting used to it, and so far, the results look better.

Anyway, I feel the need to talk about MJ. Rest in peace. I loved so much of his music--"The Way You Make Me Feel", "Black Or White", "You Are Not Alone", "Smooth Criminal", etc. It was such a shock, especially after learning about Farrah Fawcett before I left for school.

I was driving home from school when I turned on the radio, and the first thing I heard was a girl calling in to confirm that Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson had passed away. And the DJ just said "Yep, it's true. Sad news. Both passed away today." And I swear, I swerved a bit on my lane. So I speeded up a bit, because I wouldn't believe it until I actually went on the Internet and read the news myself.

I can't believe that when MJ died, I was in school, working on a charcoal drawing of gray boxes and white styrofoam cups and balls.

On the other hand, I heard Perez Hilton posted an unsavory article about MJ, but took it down when news broke that he died. What a mancunt, that Perez is. Honestly, I am sick of his "violence is not the answer" mantra. Yes, violence should never be condoned, but when you make a living talking shit about people, you better be prepared for at least one of them giving you the boom-boom-pow.

I don't know if I should pimp this at dramione. Although the idea did start there, owing to my soft spot for D/Hr/H fics, I don't want to upset anyone who's not into non-DHr fics/comms.

Just got back from Tahoe! It was very fun, despite me not having access to the Internet for a few days. Yes, people, there can be life unplugged. My uncle graciously let me spend a few minutes on his laptop during his breakfast. I only got to check a few of my e-mails, because hotel WiFi was immensely weak. :(

Now that all the family summer plans are over and done with, I can get back to my regular LJ stuff.

All the backlog that accumulated while I was away--the art assignments, fics, graphics, etc--shall be handled ASAP. In fact, I am now working on my Five Things assignment and a few other graphics for dmhgchallenge and hp_triangle. Join? It'll be fun! :D

So much catching up to do! I missed you all terribly. I am now convinced that I should get myself a laptop.

Just saw photos of Tom and his girlfriend Jade snogging during their recent trip to Majorca.

After all these years (seven, to be exact) of crushing on Tom Felton/Draco Malfoy, seeing those photos made my heart stop. And then implode.

And the first thought that came to mind was THE ICON MAKERS ARE GOING TO HAVE A FIELD DAY MANIPPING EMMA'S FACE IN PLACE OF JADE'S. Maybe. I didn't see anyone do anything to the Emma/Jay snogfest photos. XD

I went ahead and watched Wolverine this afternoon, and I loved it!

I guess I'm saying this because I've actually had a few years experience in school doing short films and computer graphics. So I can imagine how hard the production team worked to make the film look that kickass.

And then there's Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, and that Gambit guy. I ♥ those guys. Will.I.Am's character was pretty interesting, too. Liev Schreiber's character (didn't catch his mutant name) was an ass, but all in all, everyone had great chemistry. Very testosterone-y film indeed. :D

Most importantly, DEADPOOL GETS A SPIN-OFF!!!

Yayz! That means more Wade Wilson and his acerbic humor (or His Buffness Ryan Reynolds). Mmmhmmm.

ETA:
BTW, do any of you lovelies know of an HP fic exchange for love triangles? If there isn't one yet, would you be interested to co-mod one with me? :D The fic exchange won't be held while HBB, Five Things, and all the other fest are still going on, though. Just thought I'd get this out there early on.

I finally got my tablet to work again. I was just a few days away from crying ever since that night last week when it suddenly stopped working. But this morning, it finally turned on, stayed that way, and allowed me to mess with Photoshop and Painter. This also means that I can finally continue polishing and doing whatnot with the fanart stuff I have lined up. :D

Nothing significant has happened lately. I've written a few thousand words for my 5 Things fic (I *LOVE* my assignment!), and should be looking around for a beta some time in the next two weeks. Additionally, Zoho is love. ;)

Also, have any of you watched Wolverine? Is it any good? I'd watch it for Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman...and the awesome special effects, but generally, is it kickass? I don't even know if I can see it in the cinema, since I'm broke (no, not really, but I get iffy when I spend even a dollar for a roll of Mentos). Guess I'll just have to wait for a bootlegged copy the DVD...j/k. 

Paid account! ♥


I won the Easter Egg Hunt contest at accioDHR!, and besides a few other lovely prizes like the banner, I also get 2 months paid LJ, courtesy of the tres wonderful elyaeru.

To celebrate, I snagged quite a few icons from this post at hollowfication. The summary execution icons are waaaay hilarious. XD *points at icon*

In other news, I posted my fandom stuff at daydreamcharms. I don't know why I got the comm. Just felt like it, I guess. :p

Also, I'm now rereading Toujours Pur by angelpiphi. I don't know if the fic has been updated or finished, though. Really sad that's she's not in LJ anymore. She was such a nice gal.

EDIT:
Oookay. The only working site that hosts Toujours Pur only has six chapters, and from what I remember, there was so much more than that. I can't find it anywhere else, and the UST is seriously getting on my nerves. I can't wait for CG to come back online. :(

Title: Cut My Life Into Pieces
Artist: kryptiq
Rating: PG/K
Notes: 6/13 from this post at dramione (prompt table here).

Done for kalina_blue's Cut my Life into Pieces.

Ookay, weirdest dream ever. I think I read waaaay too many fics last night, because I dreamt of Ginny Weasley banging various good-looking strangers standing. Also, in the middle of banging, said stranger would turn into a pole, and she'd be clinging on to it, humping it like there's no tomorrow.

That woke me up eventually.

What the hell? I don't even like Ginny that much. And it seemed so real, like watching really disgusting porn. Ugh. :(

Right. I have to get back to reading the new chapter of Heavy now. Because of my shock when I woke up, I almost forgot today is Friday.
