Artist's Notes: lesyeuxverts  excellant prompt gave me lots of good stuff to work with: misunderstanding, UST, flirtation, unrequited love, possessiveness, jealousy and a hopeful ending. It was dicey meeting you in NY, Verts, where you kindly gave me an extension on my snarry_holidays art, not knowing it was so I could finish this for you!

This is my first ever comic, and I have discovered new admiration for those who toil in this medium. Gads, it's a shitload of work!  Hugs and kisses to littleblackbow  for suggestions about comic layout and for pointing me to awesome fandom comics for inspiration. (*cough* remeciel *cough*). Please don not hold either of these prefessionally gifted comic artists responisble for this humble drawing. I have a lot to learn.

Many thanks to mods softly_sweetly  and fbowden for running a fabulous fest and being patient with my lengthy creative process.
And last but not at all least, a big smooch to alisanne for her expert help devising the happy ending. I love this fandom, it is a pleasure to work with all of you.

My Live Long and Marry prize, which I won in the bidding on a fic fromiulia_linnea  arrived last night, the perfect treat to end a difficult week.

It's got heart, humour, smut and plot, and surprised me, in that wonderful way that fandom gifts seem to, but hitting several important intuitive sweet-spots, particularly about family peace-making and reconcilliation. I wont spoil it any further for you, go read it!

Fits and Starts


if you didn't follow LLAM, it was an LJ auction comm for multi-fandom fundraiser for marriage equality that raised OVER $50,000! I bid on several things, and sold a painting, still in development. Feel the love, it is really awe-some.

themadscriptor wrote the magical Snarry romance: "When Cars Fly"

featuring mechanics Harry & Ginny, Snape brewing automotive potions (you know, fuels and lubricants...) and the date I'd most like to recreate. Drop everything and read it if you havent already, and if you have, read it again.

So, this Draco thing is getting out of hand, but, it's all good, so I thought I'd base my Friday recs around the little ferret, since he seems to be stalking me. (Dammit, does this mean I will need to have a Draco icon?)

Drawn for hp_artxchange on LJ, but massively inspired by HD World Cup!

I have been reading as much of
hd_worldcup[Bad username: ] as I can, which I really didn't intend to do,since I don't really like Draco, butdamn if that isn't changing, since there are so many good stories posting in that fest. this is only a tiny homage to the motherlode of good writers in fandom. Draco, you are a better man that I knew.
