Yesterday, I went to respond to a reviewer over at ff.net, and landed on gold. Mels (mmmels) is an incredible artist! Check out this Draco/Hermione drawing for AkashaTheKitty:

Nice, huh? But then she hits you with this:

ee-an-thee? I suck with phonetics.

Congrats, Smutastic Author of the Month! *grins*

'Cunt Flowers?' Now that you mention it...naughty O'Keefe. *gigglesnort*

[ilkee]

so, what is "ianthe"?

and thanks! *goofy smile*

I'm so loving "Cunt Flowers"! I linked a bunch of art to "illustrate" here:

Now I just need to think of some writings to go in it! :)

[ianthe_waiting]

Ianthe means...small violet coloured flower...Greek. A nom de plume, obviously.

*pouts* I am 'forbidden' to see the entry. *pouts some more*

I was never a big fan of O'Keefe, that being said, I'm not big on American painting period. BUT! I do love Steiglitz's photographs of her and her hands.

Write away, write away~!

[ilkee]

Yeah, I just realized that it's f-locked. It might be because it's naughty. I'm not really sure. You may have to join the community or something. *sigh*

I'm not a huge fan of O'keefe either. Ooooh, I just remembered you are an art historian... My favorite period is the Industrial Revolution in Europe, starting with Manet. I like the art, but more than that I like the obvious effects of social change on art. Baudelaire's The Painter of Modern Life was something I read a number of times. Not that I remember it all that well - long time ago. But it was important to me.

Where do your alliegences lie?

[ilkee]

Awww, thanks! That means a lot to me, especially coming from such a great author. I've read a lot of your stories and have LOVED every one of them. You are a master!

The next chapter is written and should be up soon. I'm not sure where you are reading, but CG is a couple chapters behind. GE is usually where I post first, but since it's down for a few days, it'll probably be over at aff.net. Hopefully tonight! :) Or maybe, I'll post it here for all my lj friends. :)

Thanks for pimping me ;-)

Love the Cunt Flowers idea. How can something be so graphic and delicate at the same time?

<3

[ilkee]

Your pimpage is well deserved my dear. Left you a message over at DA. And I so want to steal your icons! This one and the "You were better looking on the internet" LMAO!

[mmmels]

Steal away. They are all from this kickass Valentine Cards from one of my favorite artist.

His name is Jason Sho Green and you can see some his work at jasonshogreen.com if you'd like.

P.S. I'll reply to you on DevArt ;-)

"Cunt flowers" *cackles* Nice.

The pictures were beautiful. I hope she really does do some more HP pictures. Wow. Just stunning.

And omgosh I saw! Eek! Congrats on being the first smutastic author of the month. *Reminds self to drop by and ask you some questions*

Oh, did you start your drabble?

[ilkee]

Drabble? What drabble? jk. Shhhh. No, I haven't. These drabbles are kicking my ass.

*looks at mmmels and points to inadaze's comment and nods vigorously*

I can't wait to see what questions you come up with. lol!

[inadaze22]

*grumbles* I had an interesting time with this one. I usually write them out the day we get the prompt, just to get them out the way so I can think about something else, but this one...grrr...gave me the time of my life. Glad to have it done, to be honest. LOL.

*chuckles* I have a tendency to ask odd questions. Got to let the oddness marinate before I get started question-asking. Hehe.

[inadaze22]

You've GOT to read 'The Fool, The Emperor, and The Hanged Man.' if you haven't already. I'm waiting until it's all the way up on GE to re-read and review...but I caught most of it on affnet. Bloody fantastic, creative, and well thought out.

[dynonugget]

I heart LJ too. It's so great meeting such a variety of people!

ianthe_waiting? I love her 'Out of the Silent Planet'... so good!

And congrats again. You deserve it!

[ilkee]

Thanks dyno! (((((((((( happy hugs ))))))))))))))

Yep, Out of the Silent Planet indeed. Which I need to start. She's great. I'm enjoying getting to know her. :)
