Welcome!

Announcing the first annual fanfic art show. We are fortunate enough to have two new pieces on display by the talented bruinsfan.

Drawn for "Tanlines & Dogtags" (a Stargate Atlantis story where a straight Major Lorne takes nude pictures of his gay commander) we have bruinsfan's "snapshots" of Lorne taken by Sheppard.
marker renderings on vellum, with a little bit of detail work done via black colored pencil. bruinsfan makes delicious use of sculpting shadows, displaying John's appreciation of the male form and a comic sensibility. In the first image we learn later in the story that John cut the top of Lorne's head off in his snapshot. *cough* Have a look at what's dead center of the frame and you can see why.

( 'On The Beach' by Bruinsfan. John's snapshot of Lorne on the beach taken at a 'ridiculous diagonal,' very NSFW, even outside Atlantis. Um. Okay, I see what John sees in him. )

The second image is also marker renderings on vellum, with a little bit of detail work done via black colored pencil, once again demonstrating bruinsfan's sensitive use of light. Here bruinsfan sacrifices phot realism to perfectly capture the mood of the scene and Lorne's relaxed masculinity -- right before John steals the sunglasses off his face.

( 'Tidal Pool' by Bruinsfan. A relaxed shot taken in the tidal pool. Also NSFW, though a little less, um, blatant. )

The website is updated, though I still need to upload miso_no_tsuki's fabulous fan art for Tanlines & Dogtags.

I'm thinking of creating jump-to links for Out Of Bounds. I've heard that some people have wanted to find particular scenes to re-read. Okay, maybe I'll do that later, and spending my time writing Out Of Bounds.

Title: Out Of Bounds
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: ~108,000 words
Summary: a.k.a. the 'skating fic.' An utterly self-indulgent cliche. John's a rebellious figure skater who after twelve years of competition has one last shot. Rodney's the former World Champion, shattered by defeat (can't you just hear the Olympic theme song?) who can make it happen. But first....

Check this out, fan artists:



paintedspires. Because life is better with fine fan art. :)

New post-it on Icarus' door, in place of the old one:

Hullo!

Briefly swept by on my way to a much-postponed backpacking trip. Making fondue tonight. RL is ass-kicking.

Did manage to update the website with Art:



_inbetween_ cracks me up, giving us a deliciously detailed (NC-17) John Sheppard sprawled and debauched. Yeah, I drooled too. He gets to explain what happened that night in No More Quasi-Religious Alien Sex Rituals.



One of my own sketches, and yes, that is wildernessguru. Not drawn for any particular fic. Note: NC-17.



Ailine draws a breathtaking chiaroscuro Draco. His thoughts are turned inward, his face a cool mask as he contemplates killing Lucius, hidden outside Lucius' office in SNAFU, the climactic chapter of Beg Me For It. Ailine captures his internal struggle.



With soft lines and warm colors Ailine gives us a sensual Ron and Draco exploring each other in part two of the Beg Me For It series, Sex Drugs & Death Eater Rock.

Now I must pack. See you later.
