I'm crap at summaries, too. Which is why I tend to quote a line or two that I think might prove intriguing and hint at the theme of the thing.

I am breathtakingly bad at titling pictures. I may not have thought any words at all while drawing it. And when you present on AO3, for instance, summaries and notes are also helpful--it's not like deviantArt, where you can just lead with the visual.

This month of daily pictures is especially lame and heinous.

Some of them have no names, some have trite names, and some have names that will only make sense in my head.

That's actually more stressful than actually drawing and publishing a picture a day, which I didn't see coming.

You know when someone at the absolute top of the talent pyramid comments on one of your fanwork posts? Except this time--I had mentioned her name in the post, although she didn't refer to it and she didn't comment on my work, just the notes of my work--I hate it when a comment can't just be a comment. There's no reason everyone has to mention my work when they comment on a post--there are words there too--but OMG I'm the only other person in the fandom using the same media as her and now I feel extra extra shy.

She was very nice, though. This is entirely an issue all about the insides of my head so I had to get it out there so I could read how silly it is.

I just ran across a fic that describes someone's eyes as "full of dark and dangerous things, mostly sex."

My own eyes are full of dark and dangerous things, mostly the insides of my eye sockets...

Okay, I *need* someone to write about a character whose eyes are full of humour. That would be fucking hysterical, and is also why I don't get as many nice things as I want.

Would the humours be balanced?

Because I'd read that. I might mock it, but I'd read it.

The humour could be watery or glassy, that's the most I'd ask of it. And I would not mock, I would give a standing high five, because that is precisely my favourite sort of pun.

I remembered to ask the woman who suggested I'd used a Sherlock picture as a ref for the Sherlock picture, and yeah, it's the same pose. I wonder if we used the same photo....there are so many source photos, but no way to know if you're treading other people's grounds.

• Sherlock (them): >[link]
• Supernatural (me): >[link]

I would have assumed same original photo at worst but maybe that's because I have seen other pictures people have drawn off photos I have in my collection. "Stealing" from a 2012 Sherlock pic would be asking for trouble--and the person who asked did back off when I denied it.

Malinda Lo is looking for artists and illustrators. Anyone who wants to spread the word to fandom artists should -- she's the author of, among other things, the YA book Ash, which is a Cinderella retelling with a lesbian perspective.

So if anyone's been following it, Lettered's Groundhog Day Avengers story is finished. It's really good, although I could have done with Tony being less of an asshole and Bruce being a little less wound up in his manpain.
