“Lycanthropy,” Natasha clarifies, scratching under Steve’s chin before turning around.

“Lycan—what?”

“He’s a werewolf,” Sam says, smoothing a hand over Steve’s ears. “Now, at least. That bite means he was bitten.”

A list of art referrence accounts; containing human anatomy, fashion/clothing, animation, historical things, tips, tutorials, inspiration and the like.

- The fic starts out great, nice style, language, captivating summary. It’s unfinished and has been abandoned since 2013.

- The fic is complete, nice style, language, tons of kudos speak for themselves. It’s about your NOTP.

- The fic is about your OTP,  it’s complete, it’s kinky as hell. The plot is absolutely dumbass.

- The plot sounds great, it’s about your OTP, it’s complete. The characters are horribly OOC.

 - Everything is perfect in this fic, starting from the first letter and ending with the last full stop. It’s exactly 800 words long.

- The fic’s word count is a six-figure number, it’s about your OTP, characters are compliant with your head-canon. It’s dull and boring as seven hells.

- The beginning is enthralling, everything’s great, the plot, the style, it’s long and it’s even about your OTP. It features something that makes you close the tab as soon as you open it, like father/daughter incest or mpreg or some other squicky thing. 

- You pour your heart into writing a fic.  Three people comment. One of them says it’s boring.

- One percent of readers review.  Three of them demand an update, one complains about a typo, one abuses you for writing the clearly marked pairing.

- It has been three weeks since you’ve updated.  You get a comment complaining you’ve abandoned the fic.

- A reader PMs you asking for a gift fic.  You oblige.  She then tells you you should be more considerate of your readers and not say you like reviews.  Another reader asks for a gift fic. You say you’d be happy to write her a drabble. She tells you a drabble isn’t good enough so don’t bother.

- Someone PMS to ask you when a fic will be done because they don’t like to read works in progress.

- No one has commented on your update.  You assume reader interest in the fic has disappeared and move on to other projects.  A year later you find a post abusing you for abandoning the story from someone who never reviewed.

Darryl son of Jacob is our hero

Free! Creation Notebook: Voice of Creative Staff (Yamazaki Sousuke)

Maybe because he has a lot of appearances in “Free!ES”, I have a feeling I’m always drawing him. It’s always either him or Rin.

I was given the chance to draw the key animation of “Free!ES” episode 10. He’s really big and good looking, but he also has a passionate heart. He’s a character I want to become like.

When I saw him I thought Sousuke’s the kind who seems difficult to get close to in real life.

I have nothing but love for him…!! His clear bright eyes, his towering body, he slightly dark side… they are all so cool… I HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR HIM.

The way Sousuke was so happy seeing Rin again after all these years, and how perfectly in tune they are with each other was really nice.

I consciously drew him so that his eyes said “Don’t you come near me (except for Rin).”

In episode 2 of “Free!ES”, his first appearance is similar to Rin’s. He had a really dark expression, but it is a really cool scene.

It was really fun drawing this “Perfect Body” swimming so effortlessly.

Such a beautiful body! He’s hot!

What I want to know the most is what future lies ahead of him!

He’s the character I had most fun drawing the body of. So muscular…!

When I drew him I made an effort to make him as good-looking as possible.  Since he mostly has a grim look on his face, those cut scenes where he’s smiling really left an impression in me.

The moment I saw the character design, it was like “Sousuke, you’re the one!” Because I mostly worked on the scenes where he’s talking to Rin, so my impression of him is more emotional and expressive than aloof. I really love the look he gives Gou-chan!!

So Haruka has experienced two kinds of ‘pinning’: the fence pinning and vending-machine pinning (lol). Sousuke is really intimidating.

He’s like this scary suspicious guy before his first appearance (lol). In episode 10 of “Free!ES,” when he confessed to Rin about his injury before the race, he had a good look on his face from that moment on, which was nice. I like his bantering with Momotarou.

I was given the change to draw lots of Sousuke and Rin when they were in elementary school. I wonder why bratty elementary school boys don’t fasten the clasp of their backpacks…?

He has such a fun personality in “Free!ES” ExFr! He totally went along with the game when he fell over after being shot by the watergun. I’m so glad he was able to establish a good relationship with the Iwatobi members.

He’s even more muscular than Makoto!? That’s what I thought at first.

His shoulder is a lot broader than what I imagined, so my drawings were often corrected.

He’s my favorite character, so I wish I could draw him more. Such a nice upper body!!

I’m still scared of him. If he pins me against the wall, I’ll cry.
