Fic and a pic

[psychofilly]

Okay, so I feel like it's time to unveil some things. First a nasty little darkfic, and second, my most recent drawing. Ugh, it's been too long since I picked up a pencil. I'm so very, very rusty. I was, however, pretty pleased at how this turned out, both the drawing and the fic. Enjoy

Ahhhhhhhh.

That was just so dark and lovely.

I've read this twice now and I am just so goddamned impressed. Really liked the way you intercut the flashbacks. Psychotic Angel was frighteningly plausible. The Buffy thing caught me by surprise. And bonus for Kate! I miss Kate...

Thanks.

Back to pounding away at NaNoWriMo.

Thanks, this was one of those ficlets that sprung from a line or two of dialogue for Kate that's always rattled around in my head. Extrapolating season five just gave me a plot to hang it on.
*hugs*
Yay you for actually doing that NaNoWriMo thingy.

Oh, that was so awful. But in a completely awesome, Psychofilly-wrote-this-so-it-totally-hit-the-right-note way.

I loved the fact that even though Angel was being Mr. Psychotic, you could feel the frustration over losing Cordelia... And that ending!

I loved it... =) Dark and completely perfect!

[psychofilly]

Hee, thanks! I'm just happy it wasn't appreciated in that "psychofilly needs a straight-jacket" sort of way. It's hardly the darkest fic out there, but it was a nice little stretch for me. I prefer dark irony to just plain'ole dark. I'm glad you liked it.

Wow. That was kick ass. I totally believe Angel could be psychotic like that, that he could obsess to the point of madness. In fact, every time I watch the show, I wait for him to just lose it completely. The way you wrote Buffy in this was wonderful. That was her, loving him blindly but willing to do her duty when the truth was undeniable. This part made me so sad for her: "Angel watched as something inside Buffy Summers crumbled to dust." And how she'd taken her wedding ring off. Aw.

The horse is just beautiful. I love paint ponies! You made him look so soft and you did a good job with his nose. It's hard to do their faces straight on and get the perspective right.

Hey, other personality! I'm glad you liked. Thanks for commenting on the horse. You know, I think this might be the first time I've ever drawn a paint before. I've done dapple greys (which is a bitch beyond all bitches to do) and Appalousa's but never paints.

It was hard getting the color changes to look right, which resulted rather unintentionally in that actual "furry" look. Of course once one section looked that way, I had to do all of it like that. (Happy accidents rule)

I'm not perfectly happy with the mane, but I'm so glad the nose turned out and the eyeballs were even. It had one brown, one white eye which is why the irises are a bit different. Doing the color change on the nose was difficult too, because I kept losing the detail. I think noses were the last thing I figured out how to do. They are so complex and convey so much of a horses personality. It's hard to translate that velvet quality onto paper.

Thanks!

Squeee!

You know I think this ficlet's great - just the right amount of dark, twisted and terrifying for an evening in. ;-) It's gonna give me nightmares and I love it.

Thank you! *mwah*

[psychofilly]

Thank you chica, now praise and worship the drawing. I already know how you feel about the fic. :P

[gabs186]

Ooh, that was weird, I didn't see the drawing the first time around...

The drawing is, of course, beautiful. You know I think you're brilliantly artistically talented. I love horses. They're wonderful, gentle, noble creatures. It's all in the eyes... ;-)

Wow, very dark and chilling. I like it. The psycho Angel fics are a refreshing pace, and you do it so damn well! The surprise Buffy ending was delicious, really.

Your horse is beautiful. I've said it before and I'll say it again, your an amazing artist.
