Snowflake Challenge 2020 - Day 7
Challenge # 7
Promote/Rec/Sing the Praises* of Yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Self-promotion is always a bit difficult, but I'll try. So, what do I do? I write fanfiction and draw fanart. I don't write long, epic stories and tend to focus on dialogue. I've been told I can get characters' voices right, and that's one of the biggest compliments for me.
My latest fanfic is "Deadly", a Good Omens vignette collection based on the Seven Deadly Sins, which I wish had got a little more visibility. I mean, there's even a mention of Dante Alighieri in it! (Yes, I can be a real nerd when I want to.)
Tiny preview:
Aziraphale let out an annoyed sigh. "Really, Crowley, it's bad enough when you sleep, which, for the umpteenth time, you don't need to. But now you're just... Doing nothing. On my sofa."
"The cool kids call it "chilling" these days."
"Well, you're not a kid and, let me assure you, you're not cool either."
As for fanart, I need to be honest and admit I'm neither talented nor patient enough for elaborate, detailed paintings, so I usually draw cartoonish pictures and silly comics.
Two examples:
Good Omens Boxing Day comic (2019)
Posted on Tumblr, Instagram and AO3
Mycroft/Lestrade vignette (2014)
Posted on Tumblr
If anyone is interested in seeing more, my most recent fics are all on AO3, while my older ones can be found on my website. I post my fanart on Tumblr and, more recently, on Instagram. I have a fanart gallery as well, but it's terribly outdated. I really should be a little more organised on the fanart front...
