A Horse Of a Different Color

No longer updating here

cybel — Sun, 30 Jul 2017 18:16:59 GMT

I am no longer routinely posting to or cross-posting to this journal, though I will still be responding to comments if any are received. I will, however, occasionally post here if so required by any LJ based community challenges I might enter in the future.

Also, after the GREAT PHOTOBUCKET FUCK-OVER™ of 2017, I will not be uploading new versions of any lost images in posts. Should there be anything you are especially interested in viewing, you should be able to find them on my Dreamwidth and/or AO3 accounts (see links in the sidebar).

My entry in the 2015 Supernatural Reverse Big Bang Challenge

cybel — Sun, 24 Jan 2016 05:36:28 GMT

So, long time no post, though I have put up a few things on AO3 since last dropping by here.

Anyway, here is my art prompt for the 2015 spn-reversebang livejournal challenge.

It was entered under the EITHER category (either SPN or SPN RPF) and was claimed by ElectricalGwen on LJ/electricalgwen on AO3. The explicit J2 historical fic it inspired, A Man's A Man For A' That, can be found on AO3 here, or on LJ here.

Per the author's summary: This is set extremely loosely in the Scottish Highlands and is pretty much entirely indulgent fluff with a whisper of plot and only rare nods to historical accuracy.

Catching up

cybel — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 03:39:37 GMT

I'm been mostly absent from my journal for some time now except for the occasional post regarding art for Reverse and BigBangs. I have been posting random art to AO3, however, so I've not been entirely in hiding. Anyway, I thought I'd finally start to post some of those artworks here as well, starting with these images of Vanessa Ives from Penny Dreadful:

A Different Love

Larger versions of these as well as two more images can be found on AO3.

He wonders when he started forgetting the names of Earth’s constellations. He wonders which of them Rodney remembers.

They used to know all of them.

SPN Reversebang Art Masterpost 2

cybel — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 22:48:53 GMT

My second art prompt for this year's spn_reversebang was #2021, All the World's a Stage, a J2 RPS prompt.

Prompt Preview:

Full size prompt:

Final story banner:

I was very lucky for a second time this year in that the lovely ratherastory claimed this prompt.

Fic: Find Your Light by ratherastory | J2 | NC17 | 12,000 words: here

Summary: Jared is the long-suffering but well-loved stage manager of the Wilmington Shakespeare festival. He's in charge of running everything behind the scenes for this year's flagship production of Macbeth, his job made only harder by the anxiety-ridden director and the eccentric cast, including theatre superstar Jeffrey Dean Morgan and newly arrived action movie sensation, Jensen Ackles, who is proving to be much more difficult to work with than anyone expected. Jared manages to juggle his responsibilities well enough… right up until the infamous curse of "The Scottish Play" takes effect, and then it's down to him and Jensen to ensure that the play must go on.

Enjoy!

I was very excited when girlguidejones claimed the prompt, and I have enjoyed working with her very much. 💗

Fic: Hub and Spokes by girlguidejones | Sam/Dean | NC17 | 5500 words: here

Summary: Dean and Sam have put as much road between themselves and Roy LeGrange as they can. Dean is carrying around someone else's heart, Sam is still reeling from nearly losing his big brother on top of losing Jess, and Dad still hasn't checked in. A few weeks of nothing to worry about besides a sunburn and eating too much cotton candy may be just what they need.
