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.
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.
Link, plz? I haven't been reading it, but it sounds interesting.
Ack, I'm at work, but if you go to AO3 and search on Lettered, it should be the top thing on her list.

It's the fifth story in this series: [link]
Yeah - I don't quite know how to deal with these characters. I almost felt like I was disassociating when I was reading them, especially whenever Bruce would get introspective. But! The science was fun to read/not-comprehend. And I like this Natasha.
There was a recent fic where a line of dialogue was "Yeah, cya."
Um.
This was not a transcription of text message.
Which is the only instance in which this spelling could be acceptable. Does this person actually know what the words to "see you" are? Is this the current generations intensive purposes? I am afraid.
Maybe if you left a comment they'd have another thing about it.
I ran across one today that substituted "mangles" for "manacles."
Good lord, Victoria Bitter (who currently goes by Andy Blake and I believe identifies as male) has apparently turned up in SPN fandom.

The word about him seems to have gotten out pretty fast.
