nonesensed: My cat is a happy cat (Default)
Been yet another rough work week, but I finally have the energy to get hyped up about my November writing project! I'm aiming to work on (and maybe even finish!) the first draft of The Crawling Dark of Your Lover and hopefully finish it this time around. Might even commission more art for the project once I see how it's going - either to reward or comfort myself ๐Ÿ˜†

In fandom news, campaign 4 of Critical Role keeps being a blast! I don't have the energy to get into all the things I loved about episode 4 right now, but let's just say that Bolaire, Occtis & Julien remain my favorites thus far and that I long to see where this is going (both re: character development and the plot). Especially how Bolaire's and Hal's friendships evolves/changes after The Revelation ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’–

Snowflake Challenge #7: Create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a wishlist of sorts.

While I wouldn't say I've been afraid to ask for any of these, I still thought I'd make myself a little wishlist, since tomorrow is my birthday and all ๐Ÿ˜† This will also double as a rec list of cool things ๐Ÿ’–

1) Recommendations for AMVs, fanvids and animatics! Fandom doesn't really matter, but if it's in a fandom I'm familiar with that's a bonus ๐Ÿ’– I used to be really good at finding videos like this, but with how algorithm-broken the internet is, it's getting harder and harder to find new ones. Here's a link to awesome animations (fandom and non-fandom) I've found and an AMV/MEPs list, though my categorizing is a little wishy-washy and mixed ๐Ÿ˜… Also, fandoms I'm more active in get their own playlists, like Critical Role and The Magnus Archives, with a mess of both animatics, interviews and other things related to the fandom.

2) Recommendations of "fake" video games! Aka people who make fake screenshots, manuals and such things for games that don't actually exist and aren't planned to exist either. I've been vaguely aware of and interested in such things for years, but this Supereyepatchwolf video on the subject really got me hooked. I'm even making a few of my own together with my sister and a friend, and I'm always happy to find more!

3) Recommend me artists you love! The internet is so vast and the algorithms so broken that I have a harder and harder time finding new artists to follow. Here are links to some of my favorite artist, as examples:
Alex Ries
Allison Theus/BeastofOblivion
ArcaneGold
Caemiel Lilium
CanaryWitch
Cassandra Jean
Dappermouth/Jenna Barton
Eleth
Eliot B.
Janna Sophia
Kiikiibee/rakugaki
King Cholera/Cheyenne (both some horror and NSFW here)
KM Steere (have a lovely commissions of my late great cat from this artist)
Linnpuzzle (who I extra recommend because she's not only a great artist but also a great friend and great to work with on commissions๐Ÿ’– Link to her tumblr.)
Luce Northstar (has both NSFW & horror art - have commissioned art from them several times and they've been brilliant to work with!)
Morteraphan
N*KIM
Natalia Drawing
Owlyjules/Julie W.
Phobs
pocketss
Ram Lightly (has NSFW content)
Sasha Vinogradova
Secondlina (creator of the glorious "Crow Time" comic!)
semochka (blood and body horror)
Sergei Demidov (some body horror)
Shalizeh7
Shark in a Bottle
SJ Miller (body horror & gore!)
Wolfskulljack (horror elements)
Wrat
(Yuumei) Wenqing Yan

Maaaaan, but this year has rushed by in a whirlwind!!! I am so behind on so many things, but hereโ€™s a little wrap up post โœจ Hope everyone is having a good end of the year, whether you celebrate any particular holidays or not ๐Ÿ’–

First things first, the fics for the Yuletide Fic Exchange have been revealed ๐Ÿคฉ I got super lucky this year and got two wonderful Yuletide fics!!!

For the game Fear & Hunger I got this brilliant worldbuilding-by-historical-document fic:
Ales Bestia, or, the Winged Beast, A Broadside, written for the education and enlightenment of members of the Royal Knights of the Tomb of the Rondonian Empire. Written est. 1862, archived 1927.

For the book series Rook & Rose by M. A. Carrick, I got this wonderful post-canon look at what my favorite character Vargo might be up to:
disturbed circles, "The first thing to know is your tools," Vargo said. "Tell me what they are and why they're important."

Theyโ€™re both exactly the kind of fics I wanted in those fandoms ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

PS. I recently commissioned more beautiful artwork from my friend Linn, featuring the main character of my story โ€œThe Crawling Dark of Your Loverโ€ and his love interest. Iโ€™ve posted the artwork both on Blusky and on Tumblr, to share the beauty with the Internet ๐Ÿ˜.

I look down for a second and when I look back up I'm in the middle of my first workweek as well as trying to help pull together a big LARP at the start of September ๐Ÿ˜…

Will hopefully have time to catch up with everyone and reply to comments during August buuuut with my current wobbly time management skills, mid-September looks likelier. Darn. There really should be more hours in the day!

Besides arranging stuff for the LARP (really need to find a horse transport our budget can afford!) I've become utterly distracted by the newest non-fic writing project I talked about in this earlier post. I've been worldbuilding and plotting and having a great time~! I've even, already, commissioned two character artworks for this Apparently Absolutely Now A WIP:

Aster, the main character (a rรฅ/huldra)
and
Yrsa, Aster's human runewitch BFF/love interest.

Spent this evening brainstorming some real fun "lore" about how vittera work in this world, together with the amazing artist of the above artwork ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

So yeah. Busy with fun stuff (and work) and that's great, but if anyone knows any time wizards, please put in a good word for me.
nonesensed: (Sadly this is true for me.)
While I love writing fanfiction, over on [personal profile] booksabaking I also post my own original fiction. I mostly write fantasy and science fiction, though I occasionally dip into horror and, very rarely, "mundane" settings. Most of my stories have a focus on queer romantic and/or sexual relationships. Sex scenes aren't exactly unheard of when I write, so beware ๐Ÿ˜‰

This is my priority list for 2024! My goal is to get some work done on most of these stories, but I will not aim to finish more than one of them - I want time to sleep and eat too ๐Ÿ˜† Also, it turns out I've accidentally started a loosely connected second world fantasy series, whoops ๐Ÿ˜…

Just as with my fics, I love talking about my writing projects! Feel free to ask any questions you might have ๐Ÿ˜Š This list is a memory aid for me to get things done, so it's not exactly the best of introduction to what the projects are all about. Might write better intros later if I find the time for it.

Oh, and while I don't make art myself, I've commissioned art for a few of my projects. Each project with art has a link to said artwork under the story's cut.

Along with DMing roleplaying groups (currently have 4 campaigns going~!) and playing video games, my absolute main hobby is writing <3

I'm trying to be more relaxed about writing, having more fun with it, since I'm by no means aiming to publish or write professionally. I'd also love to finish at least one writing project this year. Therefore I'm going to be making a little overview list here, as both a motivator and a way to keep track of all my active non-fanfic WIPs.

As much as this list is for my own convenience, I do love rambling on about my projects and learning about other people's writing pursuits, so anyone who likes to, feel free to comment here with questions or to tell me about your own writing! <3

Was gonna go through my writing projects this weekend, but time got away from me (mostly cleaning, reading and prepping+playing D&D...oh, and exhaustion from working 175% this week, eheh). Gonna give it another try this week!

But! I got a beautiful art commission done from a dear friend of mine, who made gorgeous court portraits for the POV character and POV-charater's-brother from my latest story idea~!

Good week, but exhausting week. Beautiful art though <3

I've been DMing two campaign groups for three years now and it's still so much fun! They've been keeping quite even pace (sessions getting more and more frequent during 2020 because...yeah, we all know why) and both groups are now approaching level 12 and Big Plot Revelations~!

I have 56 pages of just timeline notes for one of the groups, so it's a lot of work but also so much fun and so rewarding.

My group that plays in the Critical Role setting has so many talented artists in it who keep making such awesome art of the group's adventures!!! I am so spoiled <3

Most of the group only share their art (thus far) in-group, but the player of our halfling bard has been posting her wonderful artwork on her Twitter and I can't keep myself from sharing a heap of links finally:

ART!!!
"Old" party line-up; old in the sense that one player has switched characters and our aasimar has lost his beautiful feathers since this was made...

Headshots of the party in its current state, our half-elf sorcerer Leshanna having finished her quest and been replaced with half-elf rogue Reed.

Two of our NPCs, Vergil & Fahmin.

The Dragonkeepers confirm their party name, while talking to the ghost of a platinum dragon.

A fancy sign for a fancy shop, because Whitestone needed a pun-y teashop.

Backstory time for our bard~!

Fallen gunslinger aasimar ;_;

Finnรฉan Rose, an archfey the group has gotten entangled with.

WIP of that time the party had to fight a giant, angry tree with a huge magical gem in it.

I've gotten my Yuletide assignment and am looking forward to writing it and I'm having great fun writing on my NaNoWriMo story!

It's always so encouraging to read something you yourself have written and being angry with yourself when you reach the part that hasn't been written yet because you want to read the ending XD

Just knowing how it ends isn't quite the same as reading. And who knows how the story will grow and surprise me while I write?

Hope everyone else participating in NaNo is having as much fun as I am!

Oooh, and here's the latest commission of my book characters that I indulged myself with. Made by the fantastic ladynorthstar over on tumblr.

Art to be found under this cut )

Artwork behind the cut! )

I commissioned the amazing spacerocketbunny to draw Narathriel and Raserath from my fantasy/steampunk series "Of Dwarves and Elves".

This scene is from the first half of the second novel. Narathriel (left) has just jumped off a cliff to avoid an ambush, but left his spouse behind and is now a bit worried. Raserath (right), his older sister, will be yelling his ears off once they get to the safety of the deck. That is her airship btw.
