Nice things

[thisbluespirit]

I was already being overtired and blah blah blah summer, you all know the drill by now, and then as we also all know it was so hot things were on fire, and that was even less fun, but at least that has stopped for now and it is like normal outside even if inside is only more slowly winding itself down from the peak.

Anyway, in the meantime, here are some good things (for me, anyway):

* I woke up this morning to find someone I don't know at all (poweredbuttercup10) has made fanart of my story Red Skies, which I wrote ages ago for calliopes_pen, a little John/Jonathan/Mina Dracula 1968 fic, where the Harkers vamp one fainty doctor. Anyway, I did old-school squeeing, because look: https://thisbluespirit.tumblr.com/post/690462693065474048/based-on-thisbluespirit-s-ao3-work-red-skies

Amazing. <3 (I am laughing at myself a bit though: such a cute little murder scene!!! omg, darlings. <3)


* also i made another element moodboard (about a week or two ago? idk, it now seems like a lifetime or something) for Manganese: https://thisbluespirit.tumblr.com/post/689391684465967104/original-other-elements-28-manganese-he-opens

(I chose Manganese for theseatheseatheopensea's gift fic: The Sky Outside)


* Marie-Clare has now reacted to Blake's 7 ep2 now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fynx_-yEnCE (Go quickly, because the BBC will probably take it down soon. I won't link every week, sorry, but it was another great reaction, so XD.)


* also lurking_latinist happened to write Like Sunshine Through Rain, making Six/Charley fic just that tiny bit less rare (also it was excellent, yes). <3


Plus, bunn7cula is promising to send me a thing!

And I do at least have a draft of the Just Married fic, but also maybe defaulting would be easier than editing in summer? idk. It is a thing that will definitely be a thing now. Hopefully on time, but eventually, even if I have to wait for a better season, and I am totally being in love with this combination of characters all over again, but I can't talk about that for a month.

A very sweet murder scene indeed, a very nice surprize! And an attractive mood board! I thought the pineapple was cheese and am all hungry now, lol. I hope the thing is nice!

Yes, and they've got some great little details in there, like Dr Seward's little buttons for rolling up his sleeves and things in there. It is not yet quite on a par with the Bayeux Tapestry illustration someone did me once (<3), but it is such a nice thing, and I have to keep looking at it, going, omg, did that really get caused by a fic what I wrote?

Aw, thank you! And no, it was pineapple, not cheese, although controversially, you can put both or either on pizza! ;-p

I am waiting to see exactly what the nice thing looks like when the postie delivers, but it ought to be! (It involves James Maxwell!)

:D I came across it the other day when I was sorting through a pile of papers incidentally. Aw, I hope they make some more pics for you.

I save the pineapple for sweet'n'sour, yum.

I thought you had all the James Maxwell things, so a very exciting thing!

A non-moving JM thing! XD
