Busy like a bee, actually  
Yay! The form over on WKA works! *does happy dance*

Now I need to get caught up on everything else I pushed to one side so that I could get it running this weekend...

Sleepy now, but in a positive way - as in, I'm sleepy because I've been busy, rather than from insomnia (although that's still a problem). [livejournal.com profile] emeraldswan I will get SKoH 4 back to you today - I really hoped I'd have it done by last night but it wasn't to be.

I also need to do some graphics work - I'm losing my touch with Photoshop right now and want to get back into making something I want to make. Unfortunately I have no idea what that is so... any requests? About the only thing I can't bring myself to do right now is anything Spike related (sorry) - I do (kinda) like the character, depending on the season, but the film graduate in me just remembers how much of a nightmare it was to ChromaKey a bleached blonde so I shy away from trying anything in Photoshop because of that reason. (Seriously, blondes & blue screen really don't mix well at all!)

Plus, I've got the ficlets for [livejournal.com profile] _inthedarkness to do today and arrange a time for us to get started with that. [livejournal.com profile] rileysaplank, fancy giving me a shout later on about that application we got at the weekend?

And I've still got WaDaDM to polish off this chapter of. (I'm aware that sentence breaks just about every grammatical rule in the english language, but right now I don't care - pretend it's translated from german if it helps!). I'm nervous about this part to be honest, it's OC heavy and my biggest fear is either turning Eilidh into Mary Sue or having her be a carbon copy of a character from another fandom (that last I did catch myself doing before it went too far but it's still a worry).

And somewhere in that I've actually got to do some work and finish checking the library holdings on IngentaConnect (which are all wrong and it's a horrible site anyway - slowest search engine ever!) and start collating March's usage statistics...

Joy.

Oooo - one more icon I couldn't post to [livejournal.com profile] ms_graphics last night because voting hadn't closed yet on [livejournal.com profile] joss_stills.

I'll probably be about all day today, so shout away whenever you want.

:)

OOohhhh. Like the Icon by the way, didn't vote for it, but it's still a very good icon, and definately a departure from your normal style.

*grin*

thanks! I actually really like that one myself, like I said at the time, I was trying something completely different for me (colouring wise anyway) and I think it worked out okay - the text could be clearer I guess.

Ooooh... you're taking requests for art? How about a new front-page graphic for PYGS? Cuz Drake and I are seriously lacking the, you know... talent department there. Eh? Ehhhh?

Or not, whatever ;)

I do like that Faith icon =)

LOL! I dunno if I'd say you're lacking in the talent department...

But sure, I'll give it a go. I know you were talking about making it more obviously non-fandom specific so have you got anything you definitely want me to include? (or leave out?)
[identity profile] bastardsnow.livejournal.com on April 13th, 2005 08:50 am (UTC)
We are lacking in the talent department... well, artistic talent, anyway. As for what we want? Just somethin' with a good mix, sort of, you know? That uh... emphasizes the multi-fandom (tho having BtVS stuff is still good, cuz obviously that's what most of it is) and also, if possible, captures the uh... 'tone' of the place.

You know, like if maybe it's a little insane. =)

You rock, Sho. Thanks

Cool, I've got a couple of ideas already - I'll throw something together tonight and see how it looks.

You can take extra time if you need to. I won't rush ya. :)

I swear it would have been finished if I hadn't been called away there. I'm working on it now (not that it actually needs much working on!) and I *really* hope to have it finished before the night's out.
