Exciting things!

[zara_zee]

Hello new friends from the recent friending meme! (And everyone else, of course!) As you've probably deduced by now I don't post all that often, however, today exciting things have happened!

Firstly, my spn_summergen gift was posted today and it is wonderful! I submitted my prompts early, before the season finale, so most of them were about how to deal with the Darkness.

My gifter gave me fabulous art, Queen of Queens with the summary: Billie is Death. In God’s absence she teams up with Rowena and several SPN-Alumni ghosts to help Sam and Dean stop Amara from unmaking reality.

If you haven't seen it already, please take a look. This artwork is stunning.


Secondly, I think everyone has probably seen the pimping for the new community started by akintay, spn_writing.

I volunteered to help mod and also stuck my hand up to do the first discussion post as akintay had done all the hard work of setting up the comm and doing the introductory posts. (With lots of background work being done by all the maintainers, of course!)

We posted our first discussion topic today. It is: How do you approach writing a fic? A nice, gentle, chatty topic to get into the swing of things, before we get into the real meat and bones of things with topics like plot and writing action scenes, writing sex scenes and characterisation!

We're really eager to tap into the massive pool of talent we have in our fandom so if there's a writing topic you'd really like to talk about, please volunteer to make a discussion post!

oooohh! I love all the stuff happening on LJ. I'm so not a tumblr girl and I love the way people can have an actual discussion here. So yay for new discussion!! Ok, I'm off to check out the art. :) Thanks for the update! *hugs*

Yeah, I never really got into Tumblr either. It's alright for looking at pictures and meme type things, but for detailed discussion...it doesn't really work for me. I just don't like the format. Hope you enjoy the discussion and the art! :)

The artwork was beautiful <3 and ...you've finally convinced me to join the comm:P

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

It really was. ♥ And...yay! :)

Your summergen art was fab! I think I know who the artist is...

Ooh discussion! I'll check that out later when I get back from a family day out in Chester!

Wasn't it just?

I think I know who the artist is

Really? I have no idea! But then Deb is just about the only artist whose work I can reliably pick out of a line up! I'm looking forward to finding out who did this in the reveals! :D

I think you would have difficulty spotting this artist anyway, if I'm right they usually write, rather than art... :D

You summergen art is soooo cool, and I I'm hoping to pop over to spn_writing when I have some more free time. I'm loving all this excitement and activity!

The summergen art is amazing! And it's great that there's a new comm for writers. LJ is the best place for discussions!

I swear I'm never going to get anything finished with all the cool stuff going on when I'm at work...so much for me not going back through the feed ;)
