Gifts that keep on giving

Catch-up time for those goodies I've been hinting at.

First up: ART! Here are the two H/D sketches I was lucky to receive at The Witching Hour, by fiendling and waccawheels. Fiendling's, although she probably didn't realize it, illustrates my post-ATBT story, Harry Potter and the Slytherin-Coloured Lamborghini. You'll recognize the back-seat smooch.

Then, rosesanguina wrote me rentboy H/D while we were both waiting in the art line. I've typed it up and posted it at pornish_pixies. Go enjoy!

I mentioned reading a short story by Neil Gaiman that's a bit of fanfic: it's about Susan and Narnia, The Problem of Susan. Because it's a bit hard to get hold of (it's part of a compilation of short stories, Flights: Extreme Visions of Fantasy edited by Al Sarrantonio), I scanned it and zipped it using Windows (if this doesn't work for you, let me know). It's 8 pages of jpg scans.

zionsstarfish wrote the best Draco/Neville while I was gone, and I nearly missed it. Here 'tis: Indelible Ink. painless_j - it's one for your "unusual occupations" list. Speaking of ZS, I wrote three biographies of some of my favorite H/D writers for hd_directory: zionsstarfish, pandarus, and abbycadabra. The community is compiling a master biography for past and present H/D writers - go volunteer to contribute if you too have favorites.

Hey, lookit all this html - all hand-entered, I'll have you know. Fear my mad shift-key skilz.

I was claimed last month, but the person never posted. :-( I've been claimed again...

Don't you always hand-enter html? *scratches head*

Thanks for the scans of the Neil Gaiman story - I've been looking for it a bit since seeing the arguments about Susan and Narnia on various journals.

You might be interested in reading rollick's LJ - she's a reviewer for the Onion AV club, reviewing cult fiction and films, and from time to time has really interesting offcuts of interviews with authors that she posts -including ones with Neil Gaiman and most recently Audrey Niffenegger.

Go HTML. I'm deeply proud of my abilities to write things involving a href=

Wow, Viki, I just read my bio and... I'm honestly speechless. And that is quite a feat, I must say. Just... *loveyouloveyouloveyou*

Wow. Thank you. <33
