Consonants and vowels all together, equally

I'm going to start by praising the latest story posted to deamus, Tomorrow Night by anothersuperboy, who was the author of the superlative Oliver/Cedric story rightfully praised in many quarters. NC-17, so be forewarned, and taking place during book 6. Just, excellent.

I just received the last of my "giftmas" presents, an amazing illustration by ali_wildgoose of the folks from Eight Ways From Sunday, which she posted to her Deviant Art space. She gave me the art, framed, last night at dinner and I had to PUT IT AWAY or I would have just stared at it the entire time. I knew that she was doing a piece of the eight main characters in the story but I didn't realize what she was actually going to do with it and I'm beyond pleased. I can't even start to talk about what I love about it or I'll just detail the entire drawing. Just go look at it! (I would have used her art in the icon, but the other thing she's done is the scene when sad!Dean paints sad!Seamus and I'm not sad!)

Meanwhile I have been writing! Look for a certain amount of spam this weekend, including a bunch of things for fanfic100, a little gift for a sick girl, and a moving present for a friend.

1--You know, it's times like these that I'm glad I'm such an aloof bitch who hardly ever friends anyone she hasn't met, because I haven't had to see this "marriage is created by God" bullshit on my flist. I could tell you why it's crap, but I shouldn't have to; I could tell you why I feel so strongly about it, but it shouldn't matter. If you disagree, do it where I can't see you. And I'm screening anonymous comments (not because of this but because of all that Mel Gibson spam) so like, don't even.

2--I got a review for EWFS the other day, and it really excites me that folks are still actively reading that story, since it was completed over a year ago. I'm happy to say that that long-planned, long-yammered about sequel to EWFS is finally under way! I hope to have something posted within a couple of months. Watch this space.

3--I was noting that there are a big bunch o' folks that have me friended--almost 200! I know some of you came by after that whole silly smut thing, but not all of you. So the question of the hour is, why do you have me friended? If you could tell me something about yourself, that would be great, too!
