Oh look at him, what a handsome boy he is. He's planning something but it doesn't look like mischief to me so hopefully it's just his next spot to nap.

I did my first ever commission! It was pretty fun, this one was an icon commission for Valentine’s Day for a good friend of mine, @typhonserpent

ALSO, I recently learned how to use BLENDING MODES and MULTIPLY and OVERLAY and all that good stuff, why did it take me so long to figure out it existed? It’s great. Clip Studio Paint is amazing!

Also also notice I got a little fancy with the roses and blurred them a bit since they’re in the foreground. I’m proud of that, too.

1) How old were you when you first starting writing fanfiction? 

Mmm…I think I must have been 13 or so? I wrote some truly terrible Goten/Trunks fic. Fortunately, I posted them to a yahoo group which eventually disbanded, so I haven’t had to deal with the consequences of my worst writing sins floating around on the internet.

21) Tell me about another writer(s) who you admire? What is it about them that you admire? 

Ooooooh. Oh, wow. That’s really hard because I know so many fantastic fanfiction writers. Okay, here’s one of my favorites: kay_cricketed (ao3),  kay-cricketed (lj), Kay the Cricketed (ffn), @columbinepurples (tumblr). This writer has fics posted in some places that aren’t always posted in others, so I thought I’d better include all the links I had for them.

Kay_cricketed is amazing. They are masters of simple, evocative descriptions and implied reactions that leave powerful impressions. “Show don’t tell” is something that they are very, very good at. A few lines from them are enough to leave me with a picture in my mind that haunts me years later.

The only unfortunate thing is that they often leave fics unfinished, hahaSOB

My two favorite of their fics are both unfinished, but sometimes Kay_cricketed goes back and works on wip fics years later, so I haven’t given up hope yet. Here they are:   

There is Such a Boy & if you build the fire, come sing (Rise of the Guardians, Bunnymund/Jack Frost)

Least sexiest names would be old granny names like “Mathilda” or “Gertrude”

Me on stage: “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.”
