OUR POWERS COMBINED

Jan 23, 2010 06:38

So I meant to make this post a good week ago, but the hat-trick of a Millicon in Denver, surpries food poisoning, and two transatlantic flights sort of put me out of the game for a bit. HOWEVER, better late than never, I suppose, so lend me your ears, ladies and gents, and I will stop running off at the mouth keyboard and get around to saying what ( Read more... )

Name: rymenhild
Characters: Fakir (fairytaleknight), Archibald Craven (a_poor_guardian), Bran Davies (theravenboy), some people who haven't been around in ages and ages
Email: rymenhild@yahoo.com

Fandoms/Milliways Characters:
Princess Tutu, The Secret Garden, The Dark is Rising/Vorkosiganverse/Fionavar, The Golden Compass and most Milliwaysian and nonMilliwaysian Arthuriana are fair game. I can probably squeeze in some Young Wizards and Unfortunate Events in a pinch, but there's no guarantee I know the Milliways events involved. Edit: There's also Valdemar and its Milliways connections...

Examples of Work: Uh, they're around somewhere, and I can find them if necessary.

Offering: Drabbles. 100+ word stories in fandoms listed above and related Milliways storylines. I'm going to say that each drabble is $5, and that I will write up to six, first-come, first-served. If I have trouble with a prompt, I'll reply and tell you so and ask for further suggestions. If I accept your drabble request, I'll let you know right away.

Notes: I don't write smut, and I don't often write slash. ( ... )

Name: rowanberries/Amy
Characters: Havelock Vetinari (The one in-bar and the one with the fairy terrier!), Harth Fray, Captain Jack Harkness, Sabriel, and a general backlog.
Email: rowanberries at gmail dot com

Fandoms/Milliways Characters: Umm... A lot? Ask me, in a pinch, if it's important.

Examples of Work: Random icons here.

OFFERING: Icons! Mostly basic resizing, colour alteration, text. No less than 20, may be more if it happens that way. To the highest bidder! Start at $5, and I'll call a halt at 6pm GMT tomorrow. That's, um... *checks converter* 1pm EST. I think. In the event of a tie, I shall attempt both!

Notes: I'm fairly limited, sadly, so can't manage animation, but I'll have a go at most things, including changing hair/eye colour, editing in things (last one was an eyepatch onto a base, that seemed to work), making character bases - basically most of my experience has been with making PB pictures into icons and tweaking them. I will mess around quite happily!

"It's Charlie! It's Charlie! It's Charlie!" **mun firmly steps on Inner!Teja's excitement and shuts him up**

I could use more icons for Urquhart (scots_wolf). I bid €5 ($7) for a set of icons, no manips needed except perhaps re-colouring the too-blue eyes of the PB, Vladimir Kulich. The style I don't link up there is one I quite like, but there are others among your icons that are visually very interesting, so.

As for what I'd donate to, see my request post.

And you got it! Donate to the charity of your choice - it's all in a good cause. <3

Who's his PB? That's always a good start! I'll go on a cap hunt, and hopefully have a set for you some time this week. Also, as I don't know his canon, are there any particularly important physical fratures I should be aware of? I'll do some research before starting, but your preferences are the important ones!

Urquhart icons yakalskovich January 25 2010, 00:03:02 UTC
Yay!! Most things you need to know about him are on his user info; the PB is Vladimir Kulich, and most pictures are stills from 'The 13th Warrior'. I took my own screen caps and could bung them into a sub-bucket for you, if that would help? The challenge here is not finding material, which exists; what I like is a different look at what is there. If you google the name, you'll find the actor's web site, where there are some nice candids which could be lifted by screen cap (stupid Flash slide show!) as well.

The important features of Urquhart are: tall, strong, long blond hair, handsome, amber-coloured eyes with golden specks (I have occasionally recoloured the bright blue eyes of the PB), wields a tiny one-handed crossbow, is quite mad, cold, a bit of a sociopath.

I'm sure you can do something with that.-

Screencaps would be very helpful! The bigger the image, the easier to alter eye colour without too much distortion. I see what you mean about the flash site, there are some lovely pics there, though. *Yoinks indisciminately*

1.) I paid up! €5 for this, plus for the other thing I got, plus each of the tags, makes the €20 shown on that service terminal screenshot.

2.) Here, I have a bucket full of Urquhart, or rather, Vladimir Kulich as Buliwyf. I may have gone slightly overboard on that, but it gives you a wider choice of materials to work with.

More will come, but since work has got hectic, I figured I'd post a few as and when, rather than waiting for aaaages until all are done. These are mainly bases, from images off the site. I may play with some of them some more later, but for now, they will do!

Here!

Expect more later in the week. <3

Wow, thanks!! These are lovely. I especially love this one. I have been wondering how to make a usable icon out of that fun candid picture; you did it perfectly!

Name: chanter_greenie/Chanter
Characters: Sariel Rager visible_sariel
Email: Chanter_dragonchild@eudoramail.com

Fandoms/Milliways Characters: Any of the Treks, though I admit I'm best at TNG and DS9, Young Wizards (Millicanon and not, though the Millistuff might require a little rereading), Band of Brothers, a handful of other characters scattered all over the multiverse (the Taos kids come to mind)

Examples of Work: If I've posted it anywhere, chances are you'll find it under the scribble tag at my lj.

OFFERING: As they say, or at least as I say, fic ahoy! Let's see... how about 1 US dollar for every hundred words of fic, Milliways or not, up to 1000 words.

Notes: AUs, might-have-beens and character studies are love. Not that anything else isn't, but I really <3 the above. Slash and femslash are fair game, but if you're after smut... call it a maybe.

Coming a little late to this, but I had a random thought and now I kind of want to see it. I think it might be awesome/hilarious to see a blind date between Rose and Sariel. It would be entirely in-character for Susannah to set them up.

I don't want to ask for a set number of words, and I understand if you're not comfortable writing an OC/don't feel like you're up enough on the millicanon, but I'll pay the dollar/100 for however much you feel up to writing!

Re: SKILLS chanter_greenie January 31 2010, 22:34:18 UTC
Would you believe me if I told you that I *just* saw this now? *facepalms forever*

In a word, ooooh. I might make a right mess of Rose's character, and I apologize in advance if I do, but I'll still definitely give this fic a go... that is, if you're still interested in my writing it. I'm curious to see how it ends up myself, now. :)

Re: SKILLS gao January 31 2010, 22:39:27 UTC
Do not be afraid! I am always excited to see other people write my characters, especially OCs! And I can never get anyone to do it because they're nervous of screwing it up, and it makes me sad.

Since the auction is closing today, and Sophie or someone is probably going to try and get a running total soon, I'll pledge a minimum of $5 dollars regardless of length.
