Every year, I assemble some history columns I write and other stuff into a book (well, its comb bound, like an old-fashioned print 'zine) to sell to raise money for historic preservation. Because of the election, I had fewer columns in the local newspaper this year so had to do some serious fluffing to get a lousy 50 pages. I got it all laid out and DONE last night. It is off to be printed this morning.

Combination of tension and hunching over the keyboard, I have a terrible stiff neck and shoulders. I could use a good massage but I have to chair a zoning commission meeting at 11 this morning, followed at noon by a presentation to a local service club on flooding.

Maybe I'll nap instead of doing the ironing this afternoon. I'm sure the cats would prefer that.

Title: What Harry Wants
Author: shellydkitty
Characters: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: crossdressing, dirty talk, spanking
Themes/kinks chosen: Gender bending/cross-gendering (err...loosely)
Word Count: 1612
Summary: Harry had a plan, a path, a to-do list for the rest of his life and buggering Draco just wasn't on it.
Author's notes: This is something I wrote a couple of days ago when I realized that none of the five fics I'd started for this month's themes were ever going to cooperate and be ready in time. Special thanks to lilithilien and aldiara for beta-ing this for me and staying up all night to cheerlead and keep my head from hitting the desk too often. I have tweaked it a bit more since they looked at it though, so please forgive any remaining mistakes.

The young man who was the shooter had been a private contractor in Iraq. He came back and was suffering from depression but there is no support system for contract workers. He also brought back a very nasty high tech gun that he used in the murder. Got off 14 rounds in a matter of seconds with the impact of a rifle.

And my brother's cat, who they adopted when we were in residence waiting for this house to be livable, died unexpectedly last night although he was only 12 years old. He didn't come to dinner last night and when my brother went looking for him later, found him dead. The nieces are devastated.

This had better be one damn fabulous Thanksgiving! I need some serious turkey and pie!

We received this beautiful piece in the early part of the Art Games, from the lovely sealcat.

We didn't think it truly belonged with the Crack Art, so we held on to it for a year end tribute to the Teams of 2008.

Unfortunately, sealcat was unable to compete in this Games this year, but we thank her for this lovely art representing our 2008 Snarry Games Teams.


*Dial up users: beware of large image under cut, Rated G

Thank you, sealcat!



Stay tuned later this week for closing comments and Walking The Plank news!

A very sweet 26-year-old nurse whose mother I know well broke up with her 32-year-old boyfriend. Guess what? Her funeral is Tuesday and his is Wednesday. The young man who was in the parking lot with the nurse was only injured. Men. Alcohol. Firearms. Not a good combo.

A person I thought of as a friend has gone out of her way to stab me in the back professionally. I have no idea why. She went so far as to involve my state supervisor, who thinks I'm incompetent already so the 'friend's' assistance didn't help. IF I could find a decent replacement job, I would quit even though I love me job, it isn't worth the rest.

Property taxes due the day after Thanksgiving and it will be tight for money for Christmas. Not sending cards since my Christmas letter would be too depressing anyway.

Ugh.

This is the same Harry, 20 years later at the age of 33. :D

Did this fast sketch of Rorschach from Watchmen in prep for something larger, and kind of liked it on its own. Since I'm in a spammy mood, I thought I'd show you.

By the way, if you haven't read the comic, this image is a big old SPOILER.

Oh. Apparently I am drawing again.

I was telling somebody I don't do fanart for film/TV fandoms because of the likeness problem. But that really shouldn't get in the way - there's no reason I have to nail the likenesses. So I started fooling around with a caricature style that gets away from my uptight photo-ref approach. Here's a first attempt: my TV boyfriend, Ianto from "Torchwood".

Today we recognize the hard-won achievement and dedication of artists and their teams who strive for excellence in fanart and Snarry. I know that every Champion worked hard for the good of their team and they all deserve highest marks for their efforts. We were all lucky to have won something during these Games.

However, in the competition we set out to do, the Snarry Games Judges (you, the readers) have voted to score these teams, both having shown up to these Games with the most stellar of performances, allowing one to edge out the other for Gold.

Ladies and gentlemen, our GOLD MEDAL WINNERS, with a total of 606 out of a possible 675 points:




Team Dragon!





Congratulations to our 2008 Snarry Art Games Gold Medal Winners!

And our SILVER MEDAL WINNERS, with a total of 590 out of a possible 675 points:

Dear Friends of Snarry:

Hi. My name is djin7, and it's time that we begin to say goodbye to the 2008 Snarry Games.

This was an amazing year, and the Art Games once again showed that the most talented people are still within the Snarry fandom. We had 50 truly exquisite pieces of art, and as always, great 'crack art' & interviews. We were able to post twice daily for nearly a month, and we have a great group of artists to thank for that.

Also, many Champions, past and present, helped this round of the Games with pimping and reccing, and commenting. Our hope always has been to help facilitate a sense of community in this fandom, hoping to keep the SS Snarry sailing on happy waters. When we see how fantastically supportive past champions are, whether author or artist, it makes all our hard work worth every minute spent. Thank you, all!

I ran across a quote that reminded me of fandom; and of Snarry in particular:

"What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough."
(Eugene Delacroix)
