What the fucking hell, omg. D:

Our flight was cancelled. T_____T Yeah. Delayed by a whole 24 hours, basically.

I have been surviving on about 5 hours sleep in total for the past 3 days.

BUT WE ARE HERE!!!! IN SAN FRANCISCO!!! IN THE PARC 55 HOTEL! AAAHHHH!!!

I'm with draykonis, woldy, son_of_darkness, and melusinahp will be joining us tomorrow.

I have no US phone for the moment, but I plan to get one as soon as I can tomorrow.

Plan for tomorrow: meet with fiendling and longleggedgit for Muir Woods tour! FUCK, SO TIRED. D: But we will persevere, goddammit. >:0

Oooh and! PROVIDE ME WITH YOUR PHONE NUMBERS AND HOTEL ROOM NUMBERS, PLS :D! Email or comment on this post and then delete after, if you're worried about posting publicly.

OMG! AZKATRAZ! I HAVE TO LEAVE MY HOUSE IN 3 HOURS FOR THE AIRPORT!

I ACTUALLY HAVEN'T GONE TO BED. NEITHER HAVE I FINISHED PACKING.

DDDDDDD:::::::

lksdlksdj, anyway. I am too rushed to post a proper itinerary for you fellow con-goers, but basically I aim to be at the Snarry meet, Trek meet, Merlin meet, Fanartist meet, and as many fanart-related programming items possible. I've also signed up to do a total of 2.5 hours on the drawble booth with andreanna and glockgal, and I am also involved with 4 panels.

IDEK, I must be mad. BUT SO EXCITED. \o/ \o/ \o/

Since it seems to be the done thing, here is ( a picture of me ) except that when you see me, I will be looking baggy eyed and exhausted BECAUSE I AM STILL PACKING AND IT'S NEARLY 4:30AM WHATTTTT.

I will post a bit more informatively about my schedule once I have arrived in San Fran (♥!!!) and have settled comfortably in swtalmnd's abode (♥!!!) and have caught up on sleep.

So.

BRB you guys, gone across the pond. :D! :D! :D! :D!

Hi guys :D

Further to my post last week about buying laptops in the States, I have decided to buy mine in the UK after all - thank you everyone for your advice, but in all honesty, I don't feel comfortable buying anything abroad. :/ I'm worried about guarantees/warranty issues cropping up, and I am completely technostupid, so chances are I *will* have problems xD

So, fellow digital artists on my flist! What laptops do you have? I am a PC girl, but I am not averse to switching to a Mac if you can convince me how and why it's better :D (and can also direct me to a Mac-compatible equivalent to Open Canvas!)

My budget is £600, and I am looking to get a desktop replacement.

At the moment, for PC, I have my eye on the Acer Aspire 8930G (18.4 inch screen!!!!) but I will need to test it out for real in a shop to make sure it's not too heavy for me. xD

Any other recommendations you guys have would be vastly appreciated! *hugs*

In other news:
I've noticed a recent splurge of new people friending me - welcome! Yayyyy :3 Thanks for friending me, I hope you will enjoy my art and non-art posts. Drop me a comment to introduce yourself! ♥

So I have been advised that buying a laptop in the States will be a lot cheaper than me getting it from London. This I approve of. \o/

However! What kind of customs hijinks are involved when I bring my foreign laptop back to the UK? Do I need to pay tax on it? Will a laptop from the States function with UK mains voltage, or will I need a special adaptor? What kind of specs do I need to look out for to ensure it will work in both countries? Will the warranty cover the UK?

Should I just buy my laptop in London and be done with it???

...I am very very confused. D:

I'd appreciate clarification from any Brits who have bought goods from the States and brought them back. *hopeful*

♥

*glee* I've been looking forward to trying my hand at Sulu/Chekov for a while now, eeee. They are SO damned cute and lovable and happy and just <333!! :B

I started sketching this picture out, and then the stupendous longleggedgit started writing fic for it, and it just ended up with us squeeing at each other over the unbearably adorable Sulu/Chekov fuzzy joy. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Also perving on John Cho and Anton Yelchin. Obviously.

:D

Title: Going Commando
Author & Artist: longleggedgit & lizardspots!!
Pairing: Sulu/Chekov
Rating: fic = NC-17, art = PG-13
Fic Summary: 3288 words. Sulu and Chekov get stranded on an alien planet together, much to Sulu's chagrin.

Artist's Note: I have nothing intelligent to add other than omfg Sulu/Chekov is the cutest ever ♥__♥ Enjoy!

More T-shirt fun:
I am now the owner of this spectacular piece of ghei wtfuckery:

On Ebay. It's actually a shirt for children, hahaha. I cannot tell you how excited I am to actually wear this - I hope it arrives in time so I can debut it at azkatrek!!!! \o/

(I have other stuff to share with you guys, but I shall put them in separate LJ posts so as not to strain your scrolling-by muscles too much. :P)

I am speechless with my overwhelming need to OWN THESE DOLLIES RIGHT NOW.



Here @ Forbidden Planet. *falls over* I can just imagine them sitting on my bookshelf, and whenever I need a giggle boost, I'll just glance up and look at them.

My favourite part is Kirk's crappily ripped shirt (with a wound! omg!). Which is sadly, JUST like it is in Amok Time. xD

Also check out this splendid t-shirt design: Rock Out With Your Spock Out. *covets*

Damn you, Trek merchandise! Why do you tempt me so? D:

In other news: Look at this funny little meme: Who Do You Ship Me With? Can be a celeb, a fictional character, another LJer etc etc. *teehee*

OMG YAY!!!! So Fahye and I have succumbed to the powers of Kirk/McCoy, and have produced this piece of collaborative lolarity for your viewing and reading pleasure.

Title: Unlisted Side Effects of Metacetamin-Derived Opiates
Author & Artist: fahye and lizardspots!!
Fandom: Star Trek: Reboot
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Rating: NC-17 overall, not work-safe art below the cut.
Fic Wordcount: ~2400 words
Summary: He takes one look at Jim, narrows his eyes, and then points his index finger like a scalpel and snaps, "Sit," despite the fact that Jim is in fact already fucking sitting.

( fic & art: kirk/mccoy )

We apologise profusely for the dreadful nerdy title. We're both geeky medical students - it was inevitable. xD

Baby Spock is unimpressed.

:D :D :D What can I say, I had a moment.

This is my silly way of pimping the st_fanart_meme. Like the st_xi_meme, only for art/vids/graphics and the like. Go join in! Yay!

In other news: Smutty Kirk/Bones fic/art collab fun times on the way, you guys!! Stay tuned.... >:B

Goodnight, flist! *hugs and kisses*

Title: Illogical Response
Fandom: Star Trek: Reboot
Pairing: Kirk/Spock ♥ ♥ ♥
Rating: NC-17, not worksafe
Notes: I finished it at last!!!!! I am so happy to be drawing this pairing - the very bedrock of slash fandom. It's like I've come full circle. :D :D :D

Photo references used for their faces. Words cannot express the glee I felt at drawing Spock's pointy ears and green blush. *teehee*

I struggled a LOT with this - I just couldn't decide where and how Kirk and Spock would be screwing, and all my sketches seemed bland and stiff. In the end, it was a toss-up between this pose, and another one which involved Kirk slammed up against a wall with his legs round Spock's waist. Maybe I will go back to that sketch in the future and clean it up. :D

I've also recently been dipping my toes in The Original Series, and am astounded by how much I LOVE it. ♥ It is so horribly sexist and cheesy and low-budget, but I don't care! It's wonderful! The rampant Kirk/Spock is blinding! The cracky plots are fabulous! I also admit how very much in love with Nimoy!Spock I am. >__>

( He wins so much! )

Yay! Two fics written for my art! ♥ ♥ ♥ And they're both brilliant and fun and well written. :D

1) Quench by bewarethesmirk (Arthur/Merlin, NC-17) - Written in response to frottage smut that I drew in April, but I totally forgot to link to this fic! *ashamed* but it's so good, sexy and intense and the boys are such boys, and yeah. :D :D :D

2) Kirk Cheats by kat8cha (Kirk/Chekov/McCoy, NC-17) - for the dirty Trek threesome I posted over the weekend. *glee* The banter between goading!smart-ass!Kirk and grumpy!reluctant!McCoy in this kills me!

Question: Fandom tattoos!
I have been thinking a lot about tattoos lately... *shifty eyes* I have none, and it will be a long time before I have the courage to get one, and if I do get one, it would have to be in a hide-able location and sans parents' knowledge. Eep.

HOWEVER. I am becoming more and more enamoured with the idea of getting something to commemorate the huge and positive influence fandom has had in my life. Because honestly? Without fandom coming into my life when I was 15, I would be the saddest, most introverted, unconfident, emo little mouse on the planet.

It was that bad, LOL. Srsly. I kept a personal diary, of all things. *embarrassed*

Anyway. :D Dear flist of mine! Do any of you have fandom tattoos? Got photos? I am curious! I wanna see! :D I already have an idea for what tattoo I would get (IF I got one), but regardless, I want to see what everyone else has. And I need you guys to advise me whether or not this is a phenomenally stupid idea, haha.

I am looking to buy a new tablet.

The one I have at the mo is a Wacom Graphire 2 (A5/6 size, I have to check when I get home) that lunulet gave to me. ♥ It has provided excellent service for the 5 years that I have had it - in fact, it still works perfectly! But the pen is falling apart and the protective surface cover is scratchy and cracked.

I've been looking at the Wacom Bamboo Fun Medium as a replacement, and it looks awesome.... but it's £132!!!! D:

Does anyone have any recommendations for other brands of tablet that are equally good but more affordable? My only quibble is that it shouldn't have any buttons down the side, because I always rest my hand there. LOL.

Any advice muchly appreciated! <3

Title: Cabin Boy
Fandom: Star Trek: Reboot *dies*
Pairing: Kirk/Chekov/Bones
Rating: NC-17, srsly
Warning: ....Double penetration. *hides in shame*
Notes: I know that Kirk/Spock won in my Star Trek poll, however this idea was stuck in my head and refused to leave until I made sure Chekov got a thorough seeing-to. On the floor. In front of the captain's chair. By Kirk and Bones. At the same time.

Erm. *guilty smile*

Ostensibly, I drew this for cathybites' splendid soblazn_chekov fest, my prompt being: Chekov/Kirk/McCoy: Kirk bets McCoy he can get there first. McCoy is annoyed. Maybe they just get there at the same time.

Look Ma, no photo refs! :D Enjoy.

So like, now someone needs to write this in fic form, amirite??? Oh Chekov. Why are you so tempting. :(

Question: What are the Star Trek comms that I could post this art to?

....You know how when I get excited about a new film/book/tv show, the first thing I want to do is draw porn?

Yeah.

Poll time, my lovelies! >:D

Poll #1407769 Reboot sexy tiemz

So the Azkatraz formal programming schedule is finally online! I will be taking part in 4 fanart-related panels, zomg.

Monday 2-3pm
"Fanart & The Pr0n": With itsbeenvery, glockgal, tripperfunster and reallycorking. *joygasm* It's going to be so awesome! With NWS visual aids! >.>

So 8D! What panels is everyone else doing? Are any of you thinking of attending a fanart panel?

♥♥♥

I had a horrid cold last week Monday to Thursday.

My mother caught my cold on Friday.

She then had a bad hypo attack at 4am on Sunday morning with concurrent leg cramps. She passed out twice before fully coming back round, and she was pretty wiped out for all of Sunday.

I then had a migraine that lasted all of Sunday, probably from the early morning hypo stuff and paint fumes in the house.

Monday afternoon, my little brother was off his food and complaining of stomach ache.

The way he was tensing and holding himself set off alarm bells in my head, so I did an abdominal history and examination just before I left for work this morning. I suspected he might have appendicitis, and told my mum to take him to the emergency doc right away.

Turns out I was right. Appendicitis. He is in hospital right now, in the operating theatre as I type. It was getting too late at night for me to stay, cos I have work tomorrow, thus I am home right now.

Poor boo started getting teary when I had to leave. :( ♥ But mother is staying with him overnight, so.

*anxiously awaits phonecall post-op from mother*

Only person left in my family to get ill is my father....

So after my amazing London MCM Expo adventure, and feeling really left out for not having tried to go in costume.... and then realising I don't really have a good costume for anything....

...I have decided to put together a good proper cosplay outfit for myself, which I shall wear whenever I go to any costume!happy cons like Expo. And Comic Con. And possibly Azkatraz, if it is HP.

:D :D :D

Now the trouble is, I am under 5', South Asian, with black hair and specs. And I can't think of any character from any of my fandoms that fits this description. D:

(if you say the Patel twins, I will disown you. Generic uniform is generic >:0! And they don't wear specs anyway)

So. I would welcome any ideas you guys may have!! I think we can whittle this down to some female character with black hair and specs. Or any speccy female where black hair is not horribly non-canon. Doesn't have to be HP.

I know I'm thinking too much about this, shut up.

Anyone? ^.^ ♥
