WHY DID YOU HIDE THIS FROM MEEEEEE

this is the best chapter yet. I don't know what the hell you mean dull. I see what you meant about Laurie, the world's oldest spoiled teenager, and you did a fantastic job of having her be not nice and thoughtless and even hurtful and at the same time awesome. I love watching her sync up with Rorschach in any incarnation. And Dan, so insecure and so perverse. DANNNNNN.

he suddenly realised it would have spiralled out from comparing modifications, shirts discarded to contrast spliced spines,

I LOL'd.

Can't wait for the next bit.

The really not-thoughtful Laurie is still to come...bwah hah hah. This bit was actually written a couple of weeks ago and had expanded from an envisioned 1 - 2 pages to way more than that to encompass plotty things I didn't want to stop action for later. And I was totally going to sweeten the talky plotty with porn, but porn is slowly getting rewritten, and urg. By which I mean, this is hiding here until I finish porn :)

But thanks for the kind words - it perks me up that you like this half!

This was awesome, except for the part where I read it all, realized reading the summary may very well have helped, read said summary, and still didn't understand. xD

Oh dear, have you tried reading from Part 1? It was ages ago that I posted the first six parts on watchmen_slash, and this really would not make sense out of context. Or in context, really :)

THIS IS EASILY THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. The tighty whities...and the eyes...the owl shirt...and the expressions are PERFECT!

Do you mind if I put this up with the next update, with credit a course?

I'll be over here, dying of squee.

Yes of course by all means. I MAY DRAW MORE. Depending on when that next update appears. And what happens in it. /SUBTLE ATTEMPT AT STRONGARM PERSUASION

Re: heh..."Musty"... mustinvestigate October 9 2009, 21:19:31 UTC

Strongarm persuasion is probably needed. Here's the beginning of the current next part:

Laurie rubbed her arms, getting chilly now that she wasn’t running or fighting. “I’m not bringing this up for my own benefit, you know. I just see something broken that doesn’t need to be.”

D.

“Yeah, yeah, you’re exactly where you want to be in life, I get that. You’re just, you know, missing out. No one should have to miss out. Especially not when it’d be a snap to fix, just get you laid - ”

D.

“ - and you’ll be all, hey, there’s no blood and guts at all - ”

D.

“ - just good groiny fun. Yay.”

D.

!.

Laurie shrugged. “Okay, so it wouldn’t be an instant fix, but a damn good start. The hard part is finding a willing vict- a partner. Since I’m assuming a pro is out of the question - ”

!“ - and, as I’d assume you’re aware, your personality does not exactly overcome the social handicap of rocking that over-plugged power strip look. You’ve got even less chance of attracting a fuckbuddy than I seem to have ( ... )

Re: MOAR ART mustinvestigate October 10 2009, 21:13:42 UTC

I love the way this pulls the two looks together, the noir and cyber aspects. And the data reflections looking like ink blots, exactly what I had in my head. And the downturned mouth and nose! This is brilliant and it's just unfair you've got yet another talent you've been hiding! :D

Re: MOAR ART etherati October 11 2009, 23:08:49 UTC

Haha and here I thought making the data look like that was just some bizarre thing I picked up that wasn't really there.

And not hiding, just not much I draw is any good, but I am pretty proud of this one. Thank you though <3

Ooo, even shinier this way - would you mind if I put this in the next section I post (whenever that may be!)?
