1:42 am - Photographs

   Because, well, that's what I do. And what I would like to keep on doing in the future as a profession. Not sure if I will make it though. But, in any case, here's a sample of what I've been doing this semester (and has kept me away from my beloved fandoms).

8:10 pm - Wasting time, as always...

   Okay, classes are over and I have a gazillion things to comment and share with you, but I'm quite whimsical in the Internet department, so I'm going to rant a little bit about a very silly thing.


  Wait... what? )

8:26 pm - ULTRA URGENT EMERGENCY RL BETAING!!!!!!
   Ha, ha, I SUCK!! I need to send an artist statement in English like, right now, and this time is important and I want to get rid of all the mistakes. Any native English speaker can help me? It's quite short, only one page or so (or so, because I'm still writing it).

   If any of you is willing to do me this absolutely important favour, I'll be deeply thankful. Just send me an email, a PM, comment on this or whatever to let me know you're online and willing to correct my shit.

  Thanks!

11:39 pm - PIC, PIC, PIC!!!! (Saiyuki fanart)

      Hmm, it seems nearly incredible that I'm posting shit... but that's because I tweaked an assignment into fanart. I had to draw the cover for a children's book... fuck, that's too tempting! So here's what I came up with:

     Fandom: Saiyuki
     Rating: G
     Summary: It was never easier to find a title for a story...


Bright colors are bright )

11:57 pm - Quick, someone write me a drabble!

   Okay, maybe not that quick, since it's midnight already and normal people sleep or go out on Friday night, but still, I'd appreciate it if someone gifted me with a drabble-esque shit?

   (I'm okay, though, so it's not for comforting purposes. I'm just taking advantage of you.)

8:56 pm - By the way, Saiyuki-WK exchange or whatever fest meme!!!

    Most of you probably know about it already, but just in case...

   THERE'S A SAIYUKI AND/OR WK EXCHANGE FEST MEME IN THE SAIYUKI_WK_AU COMM!!

    Do you have a particular situation you have always wanted to see written/drawn but nobody was willing at the time? A secret, dirty prompt nobody picked on springkink? Are you dying to write something or get your creatives juices flowing but you can't find the right bunny?

   GO THERE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE FEST!!

    And that's all. I just wanted to pimp the thing.


    (For the lurkers, who are also welcome, there's a post with the filled prompts here)

7:47 pm - Springkink

      Instead of reading fic, or drawing fanart, or catching up with my Internet Life, I've been skimming over this edition of Springkink's prompts. There's very few 58 prompts in my humble opinion, and even less C/S ones. Fandom, what's wrong with you? And for some reason, there's like a fucking ton of Watari/Tatsumi ones, which is great, because I love them dearly and nobody except 7veilsphaedra seems to write them anymore, but it's like a very strange turn of events. Is there a resurrection of Tatsumi/Watari as a ship going on? Is that one person submitting fifty prompts in one go? Is the end of the world coming near? Well, according to the Mayans it is. But that's beside the point.

      Pointless ramble is pointless.

8:51 pm - PIC, PIC, PIC!!!! (WK fanart)

     Things have been pretty crazy lately for me. Not much free time. But now I have Internet at home, so I can afford to post the shit I forgot about at the moment, like this pic I drew for the Bonus Round of the awesome Weiss Kreuzmas fest and didn't post (I'm so sorry!).

     This was the response (one of those, I wanted to draw another pic, but life got in the way) for andmydog's awesome prompt. I took some liberties, and focused on the Matrix crossover part instead of the suggested plot.

     And, without more addo:

8:25 pm - More RL


    There is maybe one thing I don't like about the USA. Under the cut in case some of you are sensitive to this matter.


philosophical question ahead )


     Also, I'm not ignoring you, I'll reply your comments sooner or later. I just don't have the time now T_T.

5:40 pm - Even Quicker Update
I arrived safely.

I've slept about three hours in the last three days. Hope to remedy the situation tonight.

This keyboard drives me crazy.

My first impression of the USA is very positive. Everyone is incredibly nice and cheerful in their jobs and helpful and awesome. Unfortunately, half of the time I don't get shit of what they say. I hope to become miraculously fluent in a couple of weeks.

Again, no time to catch up with LJ, but someday I will.

ACTA. What the fuck. No, really, what the fuck. Because criminal people will keep on doing the criminal stuff, but normal people will be scared to celebrate with others the things they love. It's easy to misuse the law when it's so horribly vague. I do understand the need to stop the piracy because some people try to earn their life in the art industry and they're being cheated and robbed, but establishing strict measures of monitorization and control... nobody is thinking of the artists here. Nobody. The world gets scarier by the hour.

11:24 pm - Fast Update

   Okay. I won't even LJ-cut it.

   I'm out of the hospital (yay!)

   I've sent out the Christmas Cards (finally!)

   Except oracle_dream's and sky_rat's because they come with the 5yo fanart contest prize, I expect to send those next week (booo!)

   I leave in four hours (yay?)

   I haven't started to pack (booo!)

   I have finished my bonus art for Weiß Kreuzmas and another page of the medieval doijinshi (yay!)

   I don't have time to post them (booo!)

   I misdirected an important mail, so now I'm not sure it will arrive in time (fuck!)

   There are tons of things I'd like to read and comment, but I can't, I just can't. No time (booo!)

   I'll keep you updated.

12:17 am - Abusing people
 
     Don't let the melodramatic subject of the post mislead you. I'm talking about me abusing you.  Only if you want, of course. The thing is, I've got a certain craving for a WK fic, a Schuldig/Crawford one with a genderswap on the precognitive front. So, anyone willing to write a drabble/whatever with girl!Crawford and boy!Schuldig? A high rating would be very much appreciated, but anything you come up with will be okay, even one-liners or doodles instead of fics. 

    So, anyone up to the challenge?

9:30 pm - My life lately

      By the way, this post is being sponsored by radio_phabada. My deepest thanks to him (whom you don't know because he rarely comments, but I do and that's what matters).

8:28 pm - New Year

      Things I wanted to share with you:

      I've imported my LJ to DW and decided to crosspost my entries from now on. Because I'm always reluctant to change, but I honestly like DW's policies and attitude better. 

      I'm in serious debt with [personal profile] avierra . Beta-readers are someting awesome and the concept of people willing to help you for free is quite wonderful per se, but if you add to this an incredible swiftness and efficiency, a positive attitude and a general good mood... well, it's incredible and it never ceases to astound me. So thank you, once again.

      Also, MEME TIME! Becuase I'm just too happy that my Kreuzmas fic is over and done with! Finally! So, gakked from [personal profile] indelicateink  a long time ago:

     Give me half a line and I'll complete the sentence/paragraph!
     
     You know my fandoms. Any characters/pairing is acceptable as long as I know who they are.

7:03 pm - Holy shit batman!

    I have tons of things to do today and, instead, I'm watching in real time how people comment enraged against the new comments page in LJ. I'm also against it. There's a reason why I keep my butt-ugly layout knowing it's butt-ugly. I just don't like changes. I end up adjusting, though, when they're visually in nature. But this is not about the visuals but about the functionality. It's fucked up and I don't like it.

    Please, please, LJ, backpedal, dammit!

3:22 pm - Things (again)

      Yay! I've started receiving Christmas Cards! Thank you, everyone!

      On the downside, I've become utterly monotasking with time, so I haven't started sending out mine. They will be probably quite late, but I'll send them out or die trying, dammit.

      My visa have been approved, they told me I'd receive it in a week. It seems this is for real and I'm going to spend the first half of 2012 in the States, after all. I still have paperwork to clear, though. This is never ending.

      I'm still working (everyday, in fact) in my Kreuzmas fic. It's going to be the longest oneshot of my life. It's the first time I'm thinking I'm going to miss a story after the end when I'm the one writing it and not reading it. It has become part of my routine. At the same time, it's being a bit nightmarish, I won't miss the stress it's causing me. Most of the time I invest on it is not writing that I do, but thinking. It's like an obsession. I'm a bit insecure about it. Maybe it's utter shit, I don't know.

      I owe comments right and left. The day I finally try to catch up with LJ, I don't know where I'm going to start.


current mood: okay, more or less

6:06 pm - Things

      Mmmm... I'm not being very active lately. Not here, not in RL. It worries me slightly, but I'm sure it will pass, I'm a "phases" person.

      Anyway, as it's usually said, all the cool kids are doing it, so: Christmas Cards, anyone? Just let me know. If we've done this before I've got your address (unless you've bought a house lately, which I know it's the case for some of you), if not, you can PM me or send me an email (I believe that my email address is in my profile page?). I can't guarantee it won't arrive late, but it's the thought that counts. I always send all the cards to all the people that agrees to exchange season greetings with me, so let me know if you didn't get it last year in case I don't have the correct address or something.

      I still haven't finished my Kreuzmas fic. Grrrrr. The whole story is in my fuckin head but not on the paper. It irks me.

12:24 am - FIC, FIC, FIC!!! (Weiß Kreuz)

      Title: Pieces of Black (61-65)
      Author: Lauand
      Beta: Avierra
      Rating: Depending on the piece. From G to R.
      Pairing: When it applies, Crawford/Schuldig
      Disclaimer: Not mine.
      A/N: This is nothing new, just the drabbles you've already seen separatedly on this journal put together into an update of Pieces of Black. I thought about skipping posting this here altogether, but since I will post them on the comms and ffnet, my mind -which tends powerfully towards order in that sense- wouldn't let me, so here they are. Sorry for the repetition. Thank you very much to Avierra for her big and disinterested help. I touched this last, any mistake is my fault.
