Friends

This community just recently hit 3000 watchers (!!!!!!!! HOW HAVE SO MANY OF YOU STUCK WITH ME FOR SO LONG THROUGH SEVERAL RIDICULOUS FANDOMS? ILU :( ♥♥♥) and I'm really in the holiday spirit right now, SO. I want to draw some holiday-themed art, but have no idea what to draw! :(

I want to try to draw 3 pieces, each from a different fandom hopefully, so what I'm looking for are prompts!

Help me out dear watchers, and leave me a fandom, pairing, and holiday-themed prompt!

This won't really be a first-come first-served thing, as I'm kind of just going to go with what inspires me. It can be as clean or as smutty as you want it to be. >:D I will try to get at least three drawings done by New Year's. *crosses fingers* flist, I'm not giving up on those prompts from several months ago, btw. I have those bookmarked for future inspiration. ♥

ETA: omg so many good prompts coming in. :x Going to sleep on it tonight and get cracking tomorrow! :D

I couldn't sleep so I decided to color some lineart I had never got around to posting on here. Strangest late-night urge...

Fandom: kpop (DBSK)
Pairing: Yunho/Junsu
Rating: PG

hosu! I drew this like a year ago but didn't post it because I hated it..? Now I can't remember exactly why I hated it so I'm posting it! :x

( hosu, PG )


Fandom: kpop + ...star trek rps....crossover? IDK WHAT TO CALL THIS. Korean Hollywood stars fandom?
Pairing: John Cho/Bi Rain
Rating: R (slightly not worksafe for crotchgrab)

I would explain the meaning of this pairing, except that I don't think it would make much more sense with an explanation, so we'll just leave it as is. John Cho/Rain for longleggedgit! ♥♥ There is almost a tradition. :)

I guess the theme for today's art is um. Intense gazes? PS will get to replying to comments on the last post soon! TY guys! ♥


QUERY: does anyone know if there's an LJ community for general kpop fanart (as opposed to communities for fandom-specific fanworks)?

Title: More Whole
Author: ladychi
Late!Night Unexpected Hero Beta Reader: kezzabear
Characters: Harry/Ginny
Rating: This is Adult.
Word Count: 2000
Warnings and squicks: This fic implies -- and goes into a little detail about -- Tom Riddle sexually assaulting Ginny in her first year of school. It's supposed to be disturbing, and it's supposed to make you sick, but if you can't handle it, then this fic is not for you.
Summary: Harry and Ginny's love story, from Ginny's point of view.


Author's Note: I couldn't get this out of my head. I haven't written Harry Potter fanfiction in a while, and have no idea how this will be received, but when something's knocking at your mind that insistently, you have to give it voice. Thanks to kezzabear who held my hand through the panic that was the writing process for this. Thanks to tosca1390, who sort of inadvertently influenced a lot of this. I hope, for what it's worth, that you enjoy this story.

When she's eleven, her whole world changes. She learns that she can't trust her mind, that it's not a safe place to hide from the monsters, because that's where the monsters reside.

Forgot to post this! OMG guys, I have Harry Potter art! It's been a long time. :x



Title: As You Witch
Fandom: Harry Potter + Princess Bride
Pairing: Harry/Luna
Rating: G
Summary: The Dread Pirate Potter and Princess Buttergood take a walk through the Forbidden Fireswamp

This was drawn for savepureness for the radish_love exchange. I took the liberty of checking out her userinfo for any clues about things she might like to go along with her prompts, and lo and behold, I saw that she likes The Princess Bride! And so the idea to do a Westley!Harry/Buttercup!Luna drawing got lodged in my brain, and I couldn't get it to leave. :) Thank you to yamapea for all the handholding and the TITLE, and to shes_gone for being my sounding board on this. ♥
