John Barrowman (Captain Jack from Torchwood) did his own version of the Risky Business singing in boxer shorts for a British charity show. Here is the link for all like me outside the UK who would never see this otherwise.

More to come when I have more time.

You know that SPN fic and cannon trope "mistaken for lovers" by some stranger? Well, fannishliss has taken that on with a beautifully written coda to episode 5.9. It's funny and heartbreaking, explaining Dean's issues with other people thinking they are lovers with insight into the character and a plot idea that is original. The think I appreciate most, is the ending, which I don't want to spoil for you, but just to say that it is far from the cliche.

Title: From the Ashes
Artist name:davincis_girl
Warnings/Rating: All art work safe.
Artist’s Note: This is my entry into the Battlestar Gallactica Big Bang. My author millari suffered a tragic computer crash that prevents her from posting in time for this big bang, but she intends to reconstruct and post this story. It was wonderful to meet and work with her while I could. The kind mods at bsg_bigbang invited me to go ahead and post anyway since I had work done.
Summary: The story is essentially a Baltar/Gaeta romance AU, with themes of reconciliation and personal growth. It diverges straight from the end of Season 3 with the released Baltar inviting himself to stay in Gaeta's quarters. An original character with a Captain Jack Harkness flair is interested in Gaeta, forming the last point in a romantic triangle.

Teaser sized banner:
The flower in this banner represents the relationship between Gaeta and the OC; the chess pieces, the relationship between Gaeta and Baltar.

I've been doing a lot of big bang work right now, but what if the pairings happened in reverse? They say a picture can paint a thousand words, but what about 5000?

The new site pictures2words proposes a sort of reverse big bang. Artists submit work in the fandoms of Supernatural or Leverage (including RPS and/or crossovers for these two). Artists create stories inspired by the picture.

Artist sign ups are December 1 to 15.
Author sign ups are December 15 to 30.
For more dates and into check out the com's profile page.

So, are any artists or authors interesting in coming out to play?







PLEASE PIMP!!

The Stargate Atlantis Big Bang is live now! I have two art pieces on display there for co-authors ca_pierson and darkmoore. They were a blast to work with and have become fast friends.

There are also so many wonderful stories that I will have to dive into onceI get time.

I’ll be posting my art for this Big Bang here in the future, but in the meantime a preview of one and links to the com.

This is my second Star Trek Big Bang post, but my first pairing. The story is an action/adventure and romance, not unlike many of the Original episodes. It is a Spock/Kirk pairing, but allows most the of the crew time to shine, and introduces an interesting original character.

Here is just a taste:





Please check out my full art post and the link to the story at http://davincis-girl.livejournal.com/81637.html

Title: Picket Fence Lives
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Characters: Teen Sam, Dean, John, Mary

One of my all time favourite AU Supernatural stories is "Secure the Blessing" by rahmi. When Sam can't accept Dean's death, he secures a do-over for all the Winchesters. The only catch is that Sam is not part of this new happy, normal family. Yeah, Dean's not having any of that.

Here is a graphic I made to celebrate the continuation of the story.

Woot-woot! Star Trek Big Bang time is finally here for me! This is the link to my first art entry. It was a pinch hit for a wonderful author. Her concept is “What it Bones McCoy was turned into a girl by a transporter accident?”

Here is just a taste:



Please check out my full art post and the link to the story at http://davincis-girl.livejournal.com/79106.html

Title: Oublier
Artist name:davincis_girl
Warnings/Rating: All art work safe. The story is Kirk/Spock. All but the last image is gen (and that last one, a hug, is not graphic). See author's warnings on her site for fic.
Summary: Kirk is caught in an explosion during an away mission on a burned world. Spock is left to deal with an injured captain who has huge holes in his memories, as well as group of nefarious aliens set on the destruction of another civilization for their own greedy ends.
Artist’s Note: This is my last entry tostartrekbigbang but my first pairing. I love this story to death and am so happy to have gotten to know this talented author. Please go read the story by batmanboxers and give the author some love at http://dalekdisaster.livejournal.com/36953.html. The best part about Big Bangs is meeting new wonderful, creative people like her. Thank you, both my authors and the hardworking startrekbigbang mods for making this experience great.

I finally have a master list of art, recs, and fics. Took me long enough. Just in time for multiple big bang posts to go up.

If you have friended me in the last few months and are curious about older work, come take a boo...http://davincis-girl.livejournal.com/69884.html

The Star Trek Big Bang has started off with--what else--a bang. There is far too much to read as it comes out unfortunately. Here are the two that I have made it through now that the flu has abated enough that my mind is not longer full of jello. Yup, feeling good enough to make a graphic (below) so, probably getting better!




1. "So Wise We Grow" by captanddeastar is amazing, and I made it here because wonderful blue_meridian pointed it out.

Link: http://captanddeastar.livejournal.com/9048.html

Summary:
“Commander Spock, we have located your son,” the Vulcan lady on the screen says, which would be great, except Jim can tell by the look on Spock’s face that he’s never heard of this kid before in his life. “If it is expedient, the child will be sent to join you on the Enterprise within the week.” Spock suddenly becomes responsible for a ten year old Vulcan child who has ten years of issues with Spock and the baggage of Vulcan's destruction. Kirk, always one to make impulsive but needed choices, volunteers to help Spock raise him.

Why read it?
The characterizations are amazing. The author(s?)has done a wonderful job of capturing the emotions, thoughts, and speech of all the major and minor characters, as well as creating a very realistic original character. This is not a typical or predictable romance, and be warned it does have a very dark moment or two, but it is believable. It is the story of the building of an unconventional family. It is a huge story, so it's going to take time to make it through, but the mix of drama, humour, and emotion keep it moving quickly. Plus, who doesn't love the running gag that the other crew start at Jim's expense, that he is now the boy's "mother"?


2. "The Story of Creation" by tinocka is another story of building families. I started with this story because the artist is a friend, but was very glad I did.

Link: http://tinocka.livejournal.com/32773.html

Summary: The story covers twenty five years after the destruction of the planet Vulcan both on the USS Enterprise and the New Vulcan, fates of Spock Prime and the crew affected by the new assisted reproduction method and its creator. (Contains no m-preg.)
. Two plot lines intertwine. One focuses on how the original Spock makes a life, and a family, for himself on New Vulcan. The other focuses on how in, the aftermath of his encounter with Spock Prime, Jim attempts to become friends with a Spock who is not welcoming the relationship with open arms.

Why read it?
The characterization of the two Spocks is dead on and well developed. Spock Prime is seen in his wisdom, wry humour, and sorrow. New Spock is prickly and uncomfortable with humans. Both stories end romantically, but it is far from...I don't know...mushiness (sorry words escape me here... I blame flu meds).

If you loved and miss Pushing Daisy, the quirky little comedy about death and love, you need to check out a new story by loolookity. It starts with a dead on Pushing Daisy's narrator summary and moves on delightfully from there. The two words are meshed well for comic effect. Here is a little taste:

“Dean, do you see that blonde woman, singing over there.”

“Mmm”

Really, that mumble could mean anything. Sam couldn’t shake the feeling there was something wrong with this place. The colors were too bright, nothing like the dingy gray and camouflage green that he was used to. Then there was the singing. Everyone knew people did not break out in spontaneous song unless evil forces were at work. Then there was the pie maker and his girlfriend and their clearly suspicious behavior, moon-eyed and in love, never touching, but when in touching distance they were overly elaborate and careful. The whole place sent chills down his spine.

“Dean, I think there might be a case here.” Sam leaned forward for emphasis. “Our kind of case.”

This also gives me an excuse to use my crack evil!Sammy at the Piehole picture again even though this is a romance and there is no evil!Sammy.

Star Trek Big Bang goes live tomorrow. I've got two entries posting on Nov 10 (pinch hit art) and Nov 12.

I'll be recing art and fics here. They are going to post three per day. Tomorrow should be easy since I'm home with the flu.

I'm bookmarking a SPN pod fic rec for myself http://community.livejournal.com/spnroundtable/180343.html. Self remember to go back to this!
