Elle asked for some Willow and Topher.  So, here it is.

First response to the "Drabble" meme. It think it might be more of a ficlet...

For goddessvicky , who requested Faith and Echo (BtVS/Dollhouse crossover)

To LJ's Gallery.  There's a couple that have never been posted before.  One random Dawn/Connor one that I did for absolutely no reason.

The other is a Connor manip that Karen requested, I guess a couple of years ago, for a teenaged friend who was dying of cancer.  The lyrics and inspiration for the pic came from the Linkin Park song "Somewhere I Belong".  I listened to the song the whole time I was working on the pic, and I have to admit it was the hardest manip I've ever done because it was so important to both Karen and her friend.  Both the song and the theme of the pic are so dark and I really wanted to make a nice, fluffy pic in order to keep the girl's spirits up.  It was absolutely impossible to do it, though.  I remember commenting to Karen that I was having trouble because I couldn't balance "feel better soon" with "you're gonna die."  Karen, who sometimes has a very dark sense of humor, found that hilarious.

Anyway, I decided that enough time had passed to release it into the wild, so to speak.  It still gets an emotional response out of me, but the whole point of doing it was for others to enjoy it.

I finally finished the Connor Scene from Hell.  Still not quite what I want it to be, but better.  In celebration, I decided to post some more of it to the Pit.  Go here to read Chapter 10, then just for the fun of it, read Chapter 11, too.  =-)

This gets anyone who is actually reading it pretty much caught up to where I'm at.  I've posted through page 179, and I'm working on 184.  Maybe, now that the CSfH is "done", I can start work on the Greg SfH.

With GIMP and some of the latest features.  Which can be very frustrating when I'm trying to follow a tutorial I don't understand and the boys want something every five seconds.  And the youngest melting because the icy pops weren't frozen yet made it all the more fun...

OK, I think that's it for tonight.

 

I like Spuffy stories, so finding a new grouping of them is always a good thing for me.  I found a new Spuffy site today and have been browsing through it.  Wouldn't you know, the first two stories I came across were Spuffy Fantasy stories in which Spike was at least 10 years older than a teenaged Buffy.  I'm not big on Lolita stories, sorry...

But, I did find a rather nice story.  The Demon in Me by Spikeschilde.  Buffy comes back from her 17th birthday changed and has to deal with Angel and Dru with Spike's help.  A few surprizes within the story, which is completed but also open ended, making way for a sequel.  It's also long, 31 total chapters.  Spike and Buffy do not start going at it in the first chapter, which is always a good thing IMO.

Just finished a manip for laney_1974's Lost Warrior.  Here it is.

( Lost Warrior )

I don't know why, but for some reason I can never see as much of the detail on other computers.  It's not like my computer has amazing resolution or anything.  Oh well, it also means that the picture of Willow doesn't look as crappy.

So, let's see, Willow is from "Wild at Heart".  Crappy picture, plus, crying, so not her most beautiful moment.  But the crying as if her heart was just broken was perfect for what I was trying to do.  I had plans on putting her in uniform, but it just didn't work out.  That's OK, though, because I don't think Laney ever said she was in uniform at the bar.

Daniel is from the episode where they find the NID Goa'uld clone girl.  I don't remember the episode name.  He looks perfectly thoughful and worried, though.  The most frustrating part about him was the fact that there's a dark bar over his chest.  Cutting it off made him look funny and I had no way to hide the cut off.  In the end I extended the bar and used it as the title.

Also, Daniel ends right in the middle of the Stargate Chevron.  Which is actually why the Stargate is there.  And did you know that there's actually not a whole lot of pictures of the gate around?  Plenty of pics of the actors, but not a lot of the gate.
