Happy April Fools' Day!

It's been quite a while since I've done anything in the Harry Potter fandom, but when Heidi asked me to contribute another April Fools image for FictionAlley this year, I couldn't say no! For those unfamiliar with the tradition, each year artists contribute an image of the FictionAlley main page mascots dressed up as characters from another fandom, or of characters from another fandom taking the place of the main page mascots. It's all very silly and fun and a great opportunity to showcase some of the fandom's artists. The full list of participants is here!

My crossover fandom... do you even have to guess?

Oooh, artist love meme in Glock's LJ! Give me love, and let me know when you add yourself so I can give you love in return!


I've finally gotten around to posting my artsy photos from the massive Sappy Lincoln Narratives road trip, from the beginning of this summer. Maybe someday I'll actually write a blog entry about it! See photos from Dinosaur National Monument, Arches, Mesa Verde, The Grand Canyon, Antelope Point, Zion, Grand Canyon Caves, and Havasupai!



Clicky!


Then hurrah, the Doctor Sketchy's tradition continues! This session had a caveman theme, and the model wore half a gorilla suit, which made for some hilarious poses. She was also a lot more playfully bawdy with her poses than the previous model--such as posing with a banana in her mouth for TWENTY MINUTES. Great fun!

I arrived a bit late (I worked all of Saturday, until Dr Sketchy's began) and missed the 1-minute and most of the 2-minute poses.

Some 5-minute poses: Here and here

Contest: Best Use of Creationism, 5 minutes (I won! Go me!)

A 20 minute pose

Contest: Best Use of a F***ed-Up Anglican, 20 minutes. Note my doodle of King Henry VIII saying "Hellooooo, wife #7!"

Contest: Best Setting, 20 minutes. There had been jokes earlier about Sunset Boulevard, so that's where I put her.

Good grief, it's been AGES since I've posted anything artsy! I know I open every art post with a resolution to draw more, but hopefully I actually mean it this time. I've just discovered Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, antidote to the common figure drawing class! I had crazy fun, and I'll definitely be roping together a group of friends for the next session on November 10th.


1-minute poses: 01, 02

First Contest, 5-minute pose using my left hand. I won!

5-minute sketches: 01, 02

Second Contest, 5-minute pose of Something Terrifying. I was in the Top Three!

Warning: the following are not safe for work!

10/20-minute sketches: 01, 02, 03

Third Contest, 10-minute pose with Best Use of Cthulhu.

And also, in a dazzling exercise of convenient timing, my latest project just went live:



The Archive: Presenting a venue for Dresden Files fanfiction that is searchable by verse, pairing, level of spoilers, rating, and genre! Post your stories, get reviews, and read and comment on the works of others.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHOCO, AND HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO PUCK!

To celebrate the twin happy occasions, GG, Kat, El, and I wrote round-robin Dresden Files ficlets. Both are PG. The first has no spoilers to speak of and takes place shortly before Grave Peril. The second has major spoilers for Blood Rites and Proven Guilty and takes place in some indeterminate time after White Night.


For Choco: ( The (Un)Romantic Exploits of Harry and Susan )

And for Puck: ( Save A Horse )

I come bearing photos from the Union Square Book 7 release party! I put them behind a cut as not to kill your layouts. The accompanying text is completely SPOILER-FREE, and I ask that any comments you leave be spoiler-free as well. If you're on a slow connection and would rather view the images separately, they're in here. Mega-love to pockyslash for taking a bunch of the photos of me in costume and for introducing me to a nearby restaurant with DELICIOUS green tea ice cream!

Hey, kids! It's time for Professor Trelawney's Prediction Time!


(click to enlarge)

Going into book 5, I had a bizarre conviction that Sirius would die.

Going into book 6, my fondness for Joseph Campbell gave me the certainty that Dumbledore would snuff it.

Behind the cut are my predictions for the seventh book, and what really happened! Spoilers abound, obviously.

And because I'm a dork and like to consolidate LJ entries, here are my responses to the Deathly Hallows MP3 Fortunetelling Meme, ganked from Heidi's journal. ( Cut for spoilers! )

Just got a permanent account! Does anyone know if I can give away my remaining paid account time to another user?

NEW YORKERS!

Where are you guys going for the midnight release of Harry Potter 7? I know Jim Dale will be at the Barnes and Noble in Union Square, and that's only a couple blocks from my apartment...

I just realized I never posted my other Dresden fics here, so I'll do that now:

Cold Comfort (NC-17) -- The favourite of my fics! Harry Dresden looks for comfort after the death of a loved one. Daaaark. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Feedback (PG-13) -- It's important, as Molly and Carlos well know. Ridiculous fluff in drabble form! (spoilers through White Night)

Fifty Sentences for Molly and Carlos (PG-13) -- a writing experiment with one of those "fifty words" prompt tables. (spoilers through White Night)

Marbles, Or Lack Thereof (PG) -- A slip of the tongue for Molly in a delicate spell results in a Discworld crossover! Round Robin. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Quietus (PG) -- Everything comes to an end eventually. Harry/Murphy, in about 45 years. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Save a Horse (G) -- Harry has a favourite t-shirt. Round-robin. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Shiver Me Timbers (R) -- "This [The Boone Identity] couldn't be more shippy if Harry was Captain of the Spanish main and Murphy was a pirate queen." ... And thus, collaborative AU Pirate-themed Harry/Murphy cracksmut was born. No, I don't know what the hell we were on either. (spoilers through Blood Rites)

Turnabout (PG-13) -- Having your apartment set on fire can ruin your whole day. Fortunately, there are consolations. Harry/Murphy. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

The (Un)Romantic Exploits of Harry and Susan (G) -- A quiet dinner isn't as easy as it looks. Round-robin. (spoilers through Storm Front)

Visitation Rites (PG-13) -- After the events of White Night, Molly muses about the good fight. (spoilers through White Night)

Where's My Daddy? (G) -- This is a story about reading a book about reading a book, which turns into a different book. But it all ends happily! Inspired by Terry Pratchett. Pure fluff, written to compensate for the darkness of "Quietus" and "Cold Comfort." (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Title: Fifty Sentences for Molly and Carlos
Author: Priscellie
Rating: PG
Fandom: Dresden Files bookverse, as Molly and Carlos don’t even exist in the TV-verse. You TV-only folks don't know what you're missing! :D
Spoilers: Through White Night.
Word Count: 1,425
Disclaimer: Molly Carpenter, Carlos Ramirez, and all other assorted characters belong to Jim Butcher. Let's hope he has as much fun with their sparkage in future books as we're having with them in the interim!

Author’s Note: I took a somewhat unorthodox approach to the whole "fifty sentences" prompt thing. I jumbled up the order of the words and made the story into a single, coherent whole, rather than having the sentences be in the more traditional, disjoint format. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Love as always to tigerkat24, my magnificent, prolific, and inspirational beta! Love also to Terry and Choco for participating in my "write me deathless Molly/Carlos and I will send you actual brownies" fanfiction challenge.

( Behind the cut... )

The first thing I did upon finishing my undergraduate coursework was head straight to Photoshop and CG a drawing of Molly Carpenter and Carlos Ramirez I did weeks ago.

New fanart, woohoo!

VERY MINOR, ALMOST NONEXISTENT SPOILERS FOR WHITE NIGHT. Especially as the scene depicted is from my twisted shipper's imagination and does not actually occur in the book!

( Behind the cut! )

So I uh, wrote fic. For the first time in six years. *hides*
