Wish that I'd gotten online sooner, but I've been getting up at 6:40 for work. You've probably already seen this in some form or heard of it somehow, but in the off chance that this is new to someone, I post this up. New drawings next post, I promise.
Bolded is mine because I didn't like how accusatory it sounded. My addition didn't do much, but I know that most of you (if not all), despite the fact that you are aware of the bad things you're going through, already know how fortunate you are on the whole. You're good people that don't need to be reminded of that and that don't need guilt trips.

If you are reading this right now, you are aware that you have more luxury than someone in Iran could ever hope for right now. If you are watching TV or a video on youtube, updating your status on Facebook, Tweeting, or even texting your friend, you are lucky. If you are safe in your home, and were able to sleep last night without the sounds of screaming from the rooftops, you need to know and understand what is happening to people just like you in Iran right now.

They are not the enemy. They are a people whose election has been stolen. For the first time in a long time, a voice for change struck the youth of Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
On Friday, millions of people waited for hours in line to vote in Iran's Presidential election. Later that night, as votes came in, Mousavi was alerted that he was winning by a two-thirds margin. Then there was a change. Suddenly, it was Ahmadinejad who had 68% of the vote - in areas which have been firmly against his political party, he overwhelmingly won. Within three hours, millions of votes were supposedly counted - the victor was Ahmadinejad. Immediately fraud was suspected - there was no way he could have won by this great a margin with such oppposition. Since then, reports have been coming in of burned ballots, or in some cases numbers being given without any being counted at all. None of this is confirmed, but what happened next seems to do the trick.

The people of Iran took the streets and rooftops. They shout "Death to the dictator" and "Allah o akbar." They join together to protest. Peacefully. The police attack some, but they stay strong. Riots happen, and the shouting continues all night. Text messaging was disabled, as was satellite, and websites which can spread information such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and the BBC are blocked in the country. At five in the morning, Arabic speaking soldiers (the people of Iran speak Farsi) stormed a university in the capital city of Tehran. While sleeping in their dormitories, five students were killed. Others were wounded. These soldiers are thought to have been brought in by Ahmadinejad from Lebanon. Today, 192 of the university's faculty have resigned in protest.
Mousavi requested that the government allow a peaceful rally to occur this morning - the request was denied. Many thought that it would not happen. Nevertheless, first a few thousand people showed up in the streets of Tehran. At this point, it is estimated that 1 to 2 million people were there. Mousavi spoke on the top of a car. The police stood by. For a few hours, everything was peaceful. Right now, the same cannot be said. Reports of injuries, shootings, and killings are flooding the internet. Twitter has been an invaluable source - those in Iran who still know how to access it are updating regularly with picture evidence. People are being brutally beaten. Tonight will be another night without rest for so many in Iran no older than I am. Tonight there is a Green Revolution.

Are you a fan of Avatar? ... No? Me either. Doesn't matter; you ought to check out

One of my ship-mates on F.A.P, though not a troll, has a habit of making borderline inflammatory and generalizing remarks on the boards regarding slashers and slash fanfiction. He sent me an owl.
So, to use your analogy, I'm going to go to your sushi restaurant, and I'm going to try it. If ANY of those fics is any good, I'll give up on generalizations. And you'd better respect my judgement if I don't like it. It's a matter of taste, and isn't that what VENOM is all about?
Seems like an awful lot of work just to get him to say things like "some slashers" and "a few things I've seen", but I see this as one step towards understanding and ship unity.
Help me out here- this is a call for the finest that slash fanfiction has to offer. I've got four days and I want to make this good. So far I have Two-
Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have and More Than Books but I don't trust myself not to give him something that's completely off-putting. If you have any suggestions and links, I'd love to hear them.
To keep in mind
-Nothing with graphic sex. If you can, make it a pg-16 at the highest rating.
-He isn't too fond of Draco, so no Harry/Draco
- I'm trying to show him that not all slash fanfiction turns one or both men "femme-y" (a generalization he loves to make about both fictional and real life gay/bisexual men). Fics that prove his idea wrong are best.
Also in this post: Drabble planning with one of the mods from Draco/Ron. Ignore the umber of comments and send me your fics, everyone.

My name change went though today. I couldn't stop smiling. I am now legal. Still, much more to do today and I'm already sleepy, so only a quick sketch.
Hello, ONTDers! I see you've come to answer my question. It's easy, but I'd love it if you expanded on your answer. Share a story, too, if you want.
What scene(s)/Part(s) in Up made you/your movie watching companion cry?
Go nuts, BBs.

Four hours on this one, but once I got started, I just went with it.
The death scene from our Rokugan game, Kemari Practice 3- Return of the Bog Hag. We're finishing up tonight with Kemari Practice 4: The Final Insult (Or Duchi's Day Out because that's what it's been, non-stop since Kemari Practice 2; Electric Boogaloo).
Original file is huge, so I'll put the preview here. The full picture is located here

Fifteen minute concept sketches from Townhouse four. Perception is off.


The only thing that makes my pictures worse is when I find appropriate music to go with them.

Here's the poster for the alliance's program on Homosexuality in Children's Literature. I want to re-do his eyes to make them look more lively and nice. Guess my biggest disadvantage in art is that I'm just not bloody patient enough.



Have you seen this show? It's brilliant and I love it. Here ya go- have two episodes on me. They're in mp4 format so you can put them on your iPod nanos.

Did you participate in the Harry Potter Civil Fandom Wars? Of course I did!
What were your tour dates? I joined during the OotP releases, when there were still spoiler tags on pictures and information on Sirius being dead. From what I understand (or what I saw) at that point, there was still just a lot of speculation and hope and many essays on why this side or that side was right.

The first time I encountered Harley Quinn was during the animated series. I don't know how old I was, but I do remember it was the explanation episode where she went into her background. I watched up until the flashback ended and someone came in and told me to switch it off (I wasn't allowed to watch violent-ish cartoons).
So I'm not claiming to have a Batman background in this post, but damnit it's not difficult to see fandom trends. Internet fandom dynamics is easy to figure out. They all have the same sub-caves.
The fangirls have noticed that people will leave their stories alone if they don't contain the letters O,F, and C next to the Joker's name. They then noticed Harley Quinn. Then, they figured out that with that body suit and face paint, just about anyone can be Harley, if you get what I'm saying. I love reading sporked Joker fanfics, though. So for Chrissake people, can we establish some rules for Nolanverse? I'll start:
-Nolanverse is more realistic. Penguin isn't showing up. Poison Ivy is doubtful (sad, 'cause I know it could be epic and groundbreaking, on par with TDK).
-NV Joker is different, too. He's got more things going on upstairs. He doesn't work with a Harley Quinn, or any person, really. Gonna go out on a limb here and say that the guy is more or less asexual. Definitely a-romantic, but asexual definitely.
- I take it back. NV Harley-Joker could work, but it'd be so brutal, so abusive, so... nasty that the directors would have to slap it with an R-rating. I'm talking making her mute by ripping her tongue out.
- NV Joker could benefit greatly from a shower
The makers of these lists always have the risk of epic backlash. I'm expecting it, and that's alright. If I have to modify it, I will,because I'm quitethe internet coward diplomatic and word weasly.
So here's some Twilight hater art.

I'd like to adopt a more serious style.

Never thought this would expand into a general fandom journal,but it probably will. Two things here:
1- Just saw the pictures of Miss Caves in her Lavender makeup and I'm absolutely appalled. If they turn Lavender into a slut, I'm going to be very not happy. What'd she ever do to them,eh? Just tell me! They'd better do Lavender some justice... though, by the way they made the Patils seem like complete bitches, I don't have much hope.
2- I don't usually follow things on the WB (STFU, CW) but if I have time, I'm going to make it a point to get in early on The Graysons. For the slashing possibilities. That and I like Robin. ...Nobody likes Robin!
I wonder what exactly will make him Robin,apart from the name Grayson. Is he going to solve mysteries? Do acrobats? Charm birds, follow old men around, dress in tiny little shorts? Rob banks?
Momento Mori, DJ Robin.
This journal needs moar fanart.

It's been one year since the Carpet Book and only half of my worst fears have come true. I can't find too many good fics, but they aren't ALL Post-DH fic, and that's good. I was quite worried about that. Still, I miss the golden age of fanfiction--- between PoA and before HBP was announced. That was the perfect time because the fandom was wide open. We could look back on the past in fiction and revise or add bits of it and also we could look to the future without canon guilt clouding our minds or fear of being told "dat no did happan!"
Honestly, fandom, can't we leave one-another alone? Doesn't anyone see that it's about as pointless as arguing over ice-cream flavors? They don't! And I could stand to take my own advice as well. If I want to join a tiny group of people that likes to bash R/Hr, I shouldn't get upset about people that like to get together and bash Lavender Brown. It's nothing personal.
((Keep Watching this space, for by the end of Pride month, there'll be a picture here to sum things up))

Once again, the OBH-ers... alright, just one, that adorable kid that we all know as Hickory Dickory Dak. He sure does have the mouth, though, screaming "VICTORY!" for H/G. I should be laughing, but I feel pretty bad for them. If everyone went and deserted Ron/Draco after we "got our way", I'd be upset. It's just not the same unless someone's there shipping in a nice community. I mean, as a Luna/Lucius shipper, I'm quite lonely and alone. The H/Gers must be feeling it hardcore.
If only we had the Ginny that should have been, and not the Ginny that was Sued beyond recognition.
Ron/Draco continues to dance all over canon's grave (which was sloppily dug by the Epilogue of Doom).

P.S: Don't think we don't see you Ret Coning Dumbledore, Rowling. That's a nasty trick, and I should've known you'd pull a bitch move like that. Literary coward.
