I think I'll tryyyyyy defyyyyying graaaavity!
And in one final hoshit I really did lose my blog for six months post, I have decided to combine a whole bunch of random stuff into a Things I Have Made post!
In no particular order:
My best two sketches from the life drawing class we dropped into on a whim. I tried to clean them up a little in photoshop because I spilled water and they dried crinkly so there were random shadows everywhere, but I got distracted by colour washes halfway through :P uh platonic nudes are also NSFW I assume so lol cut timne.
Hanyway. Some of you may have caught the WHOSE RESPONSIBLE meme - those who didn't, it's here in reverse order. The meme had a mild case of Trying Too Hard and so ultimately flopped, but it will always hold a special place into my heart right next to YOU HAVE RIGHT SLAP WENCH. Also, I wrote a filk about it and they totally linked it :P I thought I should post it here for posterity, with the lyrics since it's rather quiet at the start.
The song streams and downloads from here.
Banned From Yiffstar TTO L. Fish's Banned From Argo:
When we logged into Yiffstar for some Fanfic Friday fare,
We found a jolly story labelled girl slash teddy bear.
We had high expectations of the lulz that would result,
But found too late this sort of thing was considered an insult.
Chorus: And we're banned from Yiffstar, everyone.
Banned from Yiffstar, just for having a little fun.
We never really ventured there except for lulz galore,
But Yiffstar doesn't want us any more.
Rob Bricken's choice was simple, but he ran against the odds.
Soon Brickhousebunny21 had run to tell the mods.
He doesn’t have to grammar and he doesn’t need full stops
Cos he’s only in high school and his fans all give him props.
Our commenters are shameless and our MS Paint is out.
And when we see a meme en route we do not mess about.
We're sorry about the capslock and the macros and the fuss;
At least we're sure that website won't be quick forgetting us!
Now let's see, what else have I made. Some lolcats, a Discworld drabble from a
transcendenza prompt... OH YES. *facepalm* how could I forget, this was one of the whole reasons I wanted to do this post.
I wrote a leetle comic about swans for the UTS Writer's Society Zine, Streetcygnes (yes, I am the Queen of Puns, why do you ask?) and then spent about a year bugging
frostickle to draw it before throwing up my hands and turning to mishka_jayne who did this awesome job:
I took the zine to the TINA festival - which is a story in itself AND another Thing I Made because I then wrote about that trip for my Creative Non Fiction class final assignment travel writing piece. It was a bit of a stretch on the term "travel writing" consisting mostly of EPIC FLAIL, but I shall post it :D
I have also signed up to yuletide but have not written a Dear Yultider letter because I can't think of what to put in it. I rambled quite a lot in my prompts :P I am so excited to find out which one got written! :D I only got one prompt in one of my fandoms, which is ironic because I went the whole hog and put myself down for about twenty of them, and was then sort of disappointed that I couldn't write all of them XD maybe I will finish this early and put myself on the pinch hit list.
PS LJ is spotlighting kitchenfaqs... guess which letter I misread? Just guess :P
