Nice things

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 ([tumblr.com profile] poweredbuttercup10) has made fanart of my story Red Skies, which I wrote ages ago for [personal profile] 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 [personal profile] 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 [personal profile] 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, [personal profile] 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.

I'm glad to hear you survived the heat wave and that things are getting better in that department!

I usually don't get much out of reaction videos, but I may have to take a peek at this one :)

Ah, so annoying that her first B7 reaction got taken down, but I'm glad I was able to watch the second one before something happens to it, too. It's really awesome to see how much she's enjoying it. This time, the line that made me laugh was her saying that she assumes Blake is the leader and that there are going to be seven of them. Yes, you would think that would be a valid description of the entire show, wouldn't you? :)

And unexpected fanart of your fic from people you don't even know is the most incredible feeling ever! That really is adorable work, too.

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!

I hope the worst of summer is over now--it's awful, and even more so when things catch fire! :( But I'm glad you have all these nice things to cheer you up!

I still love Manganese's moodboard! <3

And good luck with your fic! I wish we could switch places or something, because I find editing easier--writing is the problem! XD

Hi, we don't know each other but I've been looking at your graphic work for a while, and I love it. I love all things fanarts and fandoms. Congratulations, nice work.
