A song to thee, fair state of mine: Michigan, my Michigan

How much more intelligence I'd be able to access if my brain weren't full of odd lyrics such as that title there, which I learned in 3rd grade.(sung to the tune of O Tannenbaum)

We're off to a family reunion, so everyone has about 2 weeks to finish all their WIPS. I'll expect a boatload of catch-up reading when I get back. Don't make me have to come after you!

To keep you entertained, here are some photos of how I see the characters in A Thousand Beautiful Things. YMMV. If you'd rather keep your own images in your head, you can just skip these.

Dean Thomas ended up in this ad for Toyotas:

Levon is doing well at his new agency, Elite:

Draco and Miss Fishnet Stockings. He's not thinking of her, though.

Draco on location:

Harry's view of Draco:

daisy_drabbles made this one for me! Thank you so much!
It's the picture Sully found so inspirational:

Out of curiousity where did you find the picture of Boyd on the bed?

Here are a bunch of links to Boyd pix:

Go nuts!

The only one I like is Dean :P
:P:P:P:P (long tongue)

Why am I not surprised? ;-)

You don't like those androgynous boys?

[painless-j.livejournal.com]

Yes, either this or I don't like models :/ Or I like the types they chose for the movies and I can imagine them grown-up.

Well, *I'm* surprised to realize that I don't like the picture of Boyd with the makeup on. He doesn't have the face for it. But, the rest? Mmmm.

And, oh, I'm one who will really be done her WIP by the time you return. :D

Oscillates Wildly? Whee! That gives me something great to look forward to, then (I'll focus on that rather than the laundry piles I'll be facing).

In all honesty, Draco didn't like looking like a girl, either, but Sully loved it.

Originally I wasn't buying this Boyd-boy at all as Draco, but after reading 'A Thousand Beautiful Things' and seeing the cover and now these images, I don't think I can picture Draco in any other way.... Your fault ;) And I owe you a very long and gushing review of the fic, I have been reading it over and over again in the last few days. Definitely a classic!!! WONDERFUL!

I don't think I can picture Draco in any other way...

You say that as though it were a bad thing! I must admit, I'm not the first to use Boyd as Draco. I think I first saw an icon for him on hp_dungeons, and Restituere also uses a Boyd icon for him. He's so blond and pointy and cute! And the exact age of Draco at the end of ATBT.

Thanks also for your sweet words. You have a whole two weeks now to review. Well, unless I end up at the senior center with my mother and use a computer there.

LOL and I'm responsible for both those RPGs using him! Have stolen the bed one but you won't see it on the RPG. Just for gazing at.

You're going to be gone for 2 weeks? Oh dear. You are going to miss quite a bit.

This pic is lovely. Sooo lovely.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

You! You are responsible for my current angst!! :-) Because now I have to go off for two weeks without knowing whether Bill wakes up and smells the coffee and goes crawling back to Draco with his mouth full of totally inadequate apologies. AARRGGHHH.

And the tear-stained letter...poor, poor Draco.

At any rate, you deserve a reward:

You are going away?

I must admit, I'm not the first to use Boyd as Draco.
I think the first time I even heard of this Boyd-boy was from Duckpuppy, who was gushing about him and him being her Draco. I didn't buy it then, but now, he is the only image of Draco I have in my head :) And no, it's not a bad thing, I'm just a bit puzzled how it happened. The cover is just so nice, and the fact that you made Draco a model fits so well with the images. Even Draco isn't that poncy to pose like that in clothes like that on his own. And the bedroom image, GUH!! You actually made me follow the Boyd links to check his other images, now, that is just too fangirlish, he must be what, 21 or something? *grin*

And um, there is a review now at Skyehawke, not very articulate and it doesn't express properly how much I love the story and your style of writing. Cause I do, I'm madly in love with it!

[flimpy.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm not the marrying kind of girl. At all. But I'd elope with Dean in ATBT in a heartbeat. *Sigh* <333

And Boyd is soooo droolworthy, especially in that bed pic. Only dirty thoughts can come from looking at that.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Almost as good as Glasses for Breakfast! Almost.

I know you won't see this for a while, but I have to write a note right now! Because I just finished ATBT and it truly is a Beautiful Thing. You are SO incredibly talented! I felt everything, I believed everything. What you do is why writing exists, and why readers exist.

Thank you.

I'm back and almost laundry-free, so I can answer with less guilt than before.

Thanks for your nice comments. I have to let you know that there was a major part of chapter 8 missing for about 2 weeks, perhaps during the time you were reading it, that is now fixed. So if the end seemed confusing and you were too polite to mention it, that's why.

[painless-j.livejournal.com]

Quite OT. Do you remember we once talked (was it in my lj?) about Cinnamon's novels you said smth about the last one, smth that you liked it less than the others? Was it about Windfallen? [pj is having a mind eclipse :)]

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Yes and yes.

Oh, and hello from scenic northern Michigan. I've found a local library with internet access.
