Hey, I just fixed my scanner!!!!!!! You probably didn't know it was broken, but I was having trouble. Actually, I uninstalled and reinstalled the scanner several times, and finally, I tried a different a USB port - because I have quite a few - and Voila!!!!!!! Now it works. So I got a bad port. Oh well. Now I know.

Well, some weeks back, Daily Snitch was looking for Hedwig art and fic, and I wanted to share these pics of a Hedwig pinata I made for Son's birthday some years ago. BUT. Yeah....scanner not working.

So, here we go; better late than never!

The reveals have been up at Snarry-A-Thon for a little while, and I'm finally getting around to posting my entry. It seems like the entry went up forever ago, as it was posted on the first day! It was hard not to respond right away to all the wonderful comments I received.

This was one of the best, most relaxed and enjoyable fests I've participated in.

Artist: stellamoon
Media: graphite pencil and Photoshop painting
Fanart: Snape/Harry for the Snarry-A-Thon at snape_potter
Rating:NC-17
Prompt: #126, Famous artworks reinterpreted
Summary: This is my hommage to Klimt's frieze "Ode To Joy"
A/N: Klimt's frieze, "Ode To Joy", was part of an exhibition in honor of Beethoven (that's a fan work, right?). The Beethoven frieze (of which there were multiple panels) interpreted Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with its closing chorus, “Ode to Joy,” and embodied Klimt’s belief that love and art were the keys to life. The frieze was presented in the exhibition with the accompanying quote; "Joy, thou gleaming spark divine. This kiss to the whole world!" It is interesting that Beethoven's symphony, in turn, was written as somewhat of an accompaniment to Schiller's poem, "Ode To Joy", which makes the Ninth Symphony, basically, a fan work, also! So, my Snarry-A-Thon entry is positively steeped in fandom tradition! I hope you enjoy.

Hi all!

In case some of you haven't been watching......there's a lot of great Snarry going on at Snarry-A-Thon! I've enjoyed a lot of it, but am having trouble keeping up with the sheer volume of entries. And combined with the H/D World Cup, there's just so much to see!

So, I'm only going to share a few of my favorites with you. I'll no doubt be excluding some real gems, as I haven't had a chance to read everything, and I avoid the chan as well, so you won't see me reccing that. Sorry, folks.

This fest is anonymous, but there's a fun ongoing contest for folks to guess who created each entry. Look for instructions on how to play at the end of each entry.

Fic favorites:

Felinated (PG-13); this is a fun story where Snape is a cat.
Seven Steps to Heaven (NC-17); This is both quirky and beautiful.
An Awkward Customer (NC-17); This is one of my favorites so far.
The GL, Oder Der Giftige Lautsprecher, nicht wahr? (R); This is a fabulous story. I couldn't put it down. And it gave me a number of very interesting visual images!

Art:

When a Rose Hue Devours (G)
Don't Cha (G)
Half Pint Harry(PG)

Ok, ok, so I didn't rec much art!!!! But hey, I'm a contributing artist in this fest, too, so I want to be careful and not give anything away.

Please take a look at some of these great entries and give their creators a well-deserved pat on the back. H/D World Cup isn't the only game in town, you know??

I'm hoping someone will have a suggestion how to correct a problem I'm having getting my Tablet to work with my laptop.

Just a reminder.........please visit hp_wankfest daily! The stories there are all in fun, feature pretty much nuthin' but wankin', and there's art, too! I'm a contributor, but since it's anonymous, I can't tell you if my entry has been posted yet or not. I believe it only runs through May 31, so why don't you hop on over and give it a look see?

Artist's Notes:Today is my birthday! I understand that some like to be the giftor on their birthday; not just a giftee. So, in that spirit, I'm offering up a wee bit of art. Of course I really did it as a gift to myself, because it was fun - but hey, I like to share. I hope you like it!

Challenge:The HP Slash Super Challenge at violet_quill's LJ
Prompt/Pairing: Draco and Blaise
Rating: PG
Notes:
violet_quill is hosting The HP Slash Super Challenge at her LJ. It's really fun because to participate, you simply submit a set of 3 random pairs of numbers, and she will check her chart and inform you what characters correspond with your numbers. Then, you pick the likeliest of your 3 options and write or draw an entry! It's that simple. I got really lucky and drew a great and easy to do pairing, but I'll bet there will be lots of more interesting ones. Posting is anytime, now through May 31!

Enjoy!!

Is anyone participating in hp_wankfest? The submission deadline is April 16, for those of you who signed up. Today, I put the finishing touches on my entry (of which I am very proud). If I still like it in a day or two, I'll send it in.

hp_wankfest is an anonymous fest, so you won't know which entry is mine. Will you be able to tell, I wonder???????????

This is the second (and hopefully, final)installment of a prize for gold_loewin

Thanks to themadscriptor for the great ideas and suggestions for writing this, and to majmunka for suggesting a Part 2 in the first place. Besides, she used the puppy eyes.

If you haven't seen Part 1, or just want to remind yourself, click here first:

The lovely and talented gold_loewin has created this most beautiful and yummy art for me:

(It's PG-13)

I feel really special, now!! Like all of her work, it's filled with feeling and has a strong atmosphere. It's absolutely lovely!! Go see it for yourself, and be sure to tell her how wonderful it is!!

Are You Awake?

I signed up for hp_wankfest!! Yay! The deadline is sometime in April, so there's plenty of time to complete a project. I've got something special planned, and I can't wait to get started!! Go on over and sign up!!

You know that 5 questions meme? Well, here are the questions I got from accioslash:

ETA: anyone who wants to be interviewed, just say so in a response, and I'll think of 5 questions for you!!


( Meme )

I actually drew this a long time ago, and never posted it because it was intended to be an illustration to accompany a fic a friend was writing. Initially, I wanted to wait until the fic was being posted before posting my illustration. But since it's been such a long time, and I'm not sure of the status of the fic any longer, I'm posting the illustration now.

This is my rendition of Draco as a young child.

Now that the reveal is up at hd_holidays, I'm posting my entry. I really enjoyed doing this one, though it didn't really take very long. My giftee, oootheitooo was very appreciative and seemed to really like it, which quite made my day!

Ok, I've decided to post this directly on my journal afterall, in spite of it's NC-17 nature. Whatever happens, happens.

ETA: Well, Photobucket took it down (although I can still see it here!!) because it violated their TOS. If you want to see it, you can go to Walking The Plank and look it up under stellamoon.....or see it at Snarry Holdays

Has anyone used any of that powder mineral foundation that is so popular? Have you noticed any burning or itching on your face after you use it?? If I get the least bit warm - i'm not even going to say actual sweating - or even if my eye waters a little........It feels itchy and burny to me. Am I the only one?

Well, the masterlist is up at snarry_holidays in case you haven't already seen it.

My entry was Shiver and Sigh. I'd post it here, rather than just linking but IJ has no image hosting, and I've heard Photobucket doesn't allow the NC17 stuff, and I'm afraid of getting kicked outta there.

My giftee was elanor, as in elanor isolda, but she seems to have deleted her journal. I think she was having some troubles with someone, but I don't know what happened. It makes me sad to think she's gone, and I hope she's able to return to us.

Hurray!!!!!!!!!!

My gift fic at hd_holidays has been posted. It's a very, very tasty, sweet, and romantic story that I'm sure everyone will love as much as I did!





Please go read it and give much love to the secret author!! She deserves it.
