But first a word from our sponsor: voting in Round 4 of btvsats20in20 closes tomorrow October 9th so vote now if you haven't and tell your friends - bang the drum for gorgeous icons at a great, fun community. They deserve to be seen and appreciated.

Two recent Buffy/Tara fics by kwritten reminded me that I'd yet to post the alts and extras from my Tara claim for Round

Thank you! And WHOA are you fast I JUST hit the post button! (And I have to hit edit to downsize the banners above the cut :P)

Is that Angel as Henry the 8th? Oh that's too damn funny.

Thank you sweetie! *hugs back*

I wish I'd thought of that quote before I entered my icons for Round 3 but oh well. That song is just perfect for the women of the Buffyverse. (and a favorite of mine, yeah.)

I always think of you know when I add text to anything (like last night and this morning) - but I like the negative space in some of these and don't want to add text.

How are you doing btw? It's been a while it feels like.

I read it and left a comment thank you for the link! I'd been wondering where things stood on the glasses front.

Ok, you can schedule posts? I - need to make this a thing, I really do. And I hear your about tired. I'm bored with my own posts, wish I were more eloquent and have been really mehish but HEY! I've got a job interview in about an hour so wish me luck!

You did a marvelous job here! I am so impressed with your work. The textures, the colouring... it's all very evocative.

Thank you Gabrielle! "Evocative" is just a wonderful compliment because that's what I'm hoping to do, evoke feelings beyond "looks nice, what's for lunch?"

And I was having "fun" (as in, not always) learning new-to-me tools.

Also, I am ashamed that I forgot to thank you for the lovely things you said about my story! Thank you!!!!

Gabrielle

[red_satin_doll]

Oh my dearest Gabrielle, you thanked me beautifully when I rec'd it the first time! http://red-satin-doll.livejournal.com/57197.html

In any case, you have nothing to feel "ashamed" about, not on my account.

I especially like the Buffy kneeling and Tara variants for their texture and color, especially the first one.

Me too. :) I don't like #4 and it's color variants (I think I showed them to you one time) as much as when I made them. It feels "too much"; #1 is just right because the power is in the image.

Y O U

This is seriously the nicest... I can't believe the kind words you have to say about my fic! thank you so much! I'm blushing and ecstatic and just without words.

You're just amazing, you know that? And these fics - I NEEDED THEM SO MUCH. THANK YOU, Kelsey.

I'll reply to your other comments tomorrow because I have SO MANY THINGS TO SAY about the taxes follow up. (accompanied with screams of joy)

THANK YOU! I'm wallowing in this Tara/Buffy space and really just never want to leave.

TAXES ARE SO IMPORTANT AND NO ONE EVER UNDERSTANDS. #sobs

Me too, so much so. (Are you reading my mind?)

There are certain (canon) ships that i love but right now I just cannot do because they ping my own sense of self-loathing in a big way. (or the fandom reaction to them I can't tell.) And I have NO energy for those fights on behalf of male characters to prove their "worthiness" *Gack*

But Buffy/Tara? I have ONLY love - all the love in the world.

The lack of socio-economic consciousness on the part of Joss and Co is - I think it's utterly shattering but I've been working class or poor my entire life so how can I NOT be aware of it?
