...when you're doped up to the gills with painkillers. No seriously. It's nothing you can tell your mother about it (well, not all of it since one did turn out pretty fun actually) but it was quite an experience. The only downside is, that you're best ideas don't work because you cannot get any while your brain feels like it's wrapped in cotton wool. Will be posted when edited (which might take a little bit). Oh, and counting for the drabble count was an equally fun experience ;)

...when real life and my fandom collide. So last Friday we've had the announcement what we would be doing for our office x-mas party.
We're going bowling!
So my first thought was .... bingo ;)
(now let's see how many of my f-list will recognize that fandom reference *gg*)

[October 12th, 2009 | 17.04] |

After quite a while of computer troubles and whatnot, I've put together the new update for my artwork archive False Colors.
The update includes my wallpapers made for Ring*Con, a couple of Blood Ties wallpapers for my ongoing project to make one wp for each episode and my first three Torchwood wallpapers, all three Jack/Ianto. So please go visit False Colors for all the new art, hope you'll enjoy the new ones.

...I'm back home from both Ring*Con and satanist camp...pardon me, the Starsky&Hutch mini con past weekend and I've had a blast. On both weekends. It was so nice to meet up with the board sisters on Ring*Con and my fellow fans on the S&H mini con and I've never had this much fun in such a short time. I've enjoyed myself very much and I just want to say thank you so much for a great weekend to my dear friend ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) enednoviel for putting it together *hugs*
Also I'm a day late but still a very happy (belated) birthday to my friend paperdollgirl. I hope you've had a wonderful day.

...no scratch that. I'm beyond mad right now. I've had a virus or something and last night I had to put the computer down and basically re-set it. I need to re-install everything, all my programs, art resources and stuff. And to top that, I've lost all the things I've been working on recently, all my fanfic (my own and the ones collected from the net), my favourites folder with my links, my recent artworks and goodies. Everything's lost! (imagine loud and heavy cursing and you know what I've looked like the past days *grr*)
It's really pissing me off, and what's making me angry the most is that I've downloaded the latest virus definitions on the weekend and on Monday everything was fine. And then suddenly nothing is working anymore.
At least the computer's still functioning, I really don't have the money for a new machine *sigh* Until then I have to get everything in working order again.

| Happy Birthday False Colors!!! |
[August 18th, 2009 | 21.42] |
Happy Birthday to my artwork archive False Colors! On the past weekend the site celebrated it's seventh birthday which means I've been making art for a total of seven years now (yay, go me ;)). I missed the actual date due to my back problems and some troubles with the connection but still the month the site went online so for the honor of the occasion I've updated it with art and some goodies I've created over the past weeks (when my back wasn't giving me trouble that is). So hope you'll like the update.

...and no I didn't hurt myself doing it ;) Seriously, I've had to take a break from the computer because my back has been acting up again and all that free time I used to think about some stuff.
Recently I've seen a discussion about what makes good fanfic and since despite the recent return of my writing muse, I have been a fanartist for almost 8 years now (still am and I feel my muse returning) so I was wondering the same about fanart.
What does make fanart good?
I know that with every artform/style it's that different people prefer different styles and like them (same like with fashion I think) and I know that I myself prefer some styles over others. But same like with fanfic, what makes good fanart? What does that mean translated over for that? I've seen over my time on several artwork communities/boards a couple of crappy artwork that got raving reviews (by crappy I mean screencaps simply pasted onto pre-made backgrounds, no blending, no erasing of the borders, bad manipulations with no view for proportions, posture of the body/head blend, etc. with no learning development noticable over the artwork posted) while other artwork that clearly showed a lot of time were put into creating got barely more than a "hm, that's nice" if any comments at all. It got me wondering then and lately I've been thinking about it again.
Opinions anyone? What do you think makes fanart good, do the same criteria apply like with fanfic, that it's good if there's clearly some effort put into the creation?

| A thought just occured to me... |
[July 12th, 2009 | 20.10] |
|
So I was watching some Season 2 Torchwood to bring my mind back into its happy place and I've noticed something that should have given me a clue beforehand to what might happen.
I'm not a fan of unnecessarily sacrificing characters and established characterizations on the altar of uber-angst for no purpose at all other than creating some more angst when you could've done that more effectively otherwise.
But I really should have known it. And the Star Trek fans on my f-list will probably recognize it and agree with me there.
After all, Ianto did tell us in an episode that red was his color and we all know what inevitably happens to the guy wearing the red shirt.

| Okay, I'm still pissed off but feeling better |
[July 12th, 2009 | 15.19] |
I've gone on a wild search on the internet after CoE to let my poor crushed fangirl heart heal and I've been reading a lot of denial/fixing it fics since last night. You know what, it made me feel a lot better. If the PTB cannot fix it, then we'll just have to do that ourselves. After all, if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself ;)
I've even started writing one of my own, giving it my personal touch. I'm really feeling much better now.

It's over now and I'm beyond pissed. Why did they have to do this, why did they think it a good idea to end it this way? What the fuck were they smoking??
Or maybe they'd thought, hey if we end it, we're really ending it with a lasting impression...I know that bootprint on my poor fangirls heart definitely left a lasting impression.
To top all that, I'm having a bad migraine, I'm not sure if it's really from the weather or from crying my heart out
This whole fuck-up needs to be fixed, I don't care how, it just needs to be fixed!

| new story Starsky&Hutch - "It isn't Vegas..." |
[July 10th, 2009 | 22.56] |
Author: BellaDonna
Story Title: It isn't Vegas, but what happens at the Pits should stay there as well
Gen or Slash: slash (sort of)
Rating: PG-13
Complete or WIP: complete
Category: snippet, crackfic, mpreg
Disclaimer: The characters don't belong to me, I'm just using them to create a story for fun. No copyright infringement is intended.
Notes: this was inspired by a drabble from vedette_ciel called „Crestfallen“ which has in turn been the starting point for two wonderful „normal“ drabble series. This long piece has been inspired by my drabble version of the sequel challenge, on crack ;) It also has been heavily influenced by another drabble from true_brit called „What happens on Vega“ and is borrowing an idea from Star Trek Enterprise.
Summary: You just shouldn't stick your fingers everywhere without protection...
( Have you read your crack today? )

Okay, I usually don't mind getting spoiled when it comes to movies, tv shows and so on but for season 3 of Torchwood I promised myself to not read any of the spoilers. I wanted to watch it complete in one go.
The only thing I wanted to know beforehand is whether one of my fave characters died.
And with all I've read, right now I'm very much pissed off.
I'm hoping for it to get fixed in the last episode or I'll keep it the same I did with the Enterprise finale.

| either the weather's going crazy or I am... |
[July 6th, 2009 | 17.08] |
Seriously, what's up with the weather and this summer? It keeps raining all the time, last week we've had an indoor swimming pool in the garage thanks to all the water from above *grr*
And today at work it kept raining all day long, in varying strenghts but when I arrived at home only 20km away...the sun was shining, everything bone dry!
And this continues every day, it's warm and dry and the next day raining like crazy. Trying to stay sane is a real challenge with this.
All this up and down from the weather is giving me migraines, back pain and I'm feeling dizzy a lot. This can not be good for your health, I know for mine it doesn't feel like it is *sighs*
