fred_re_freddedhad a July Drabble, and the voting's open. Read them, then vote. You'll notice I didn't vote for my own, and that's because, that it's well...you know, I just don't vote for my own stuff. I wrote it, so of course it's great. : )There are also prompts for August's drabble challenge, and I will be working on those as well. Yes, yes, I know about my other commitments.
Here's the URL to vote: http://community.livejournal.com/fred_re
I was in Borders the other day, and I was reading the staff recommendations, which I not only never read, I never listen to. When I read the above quote, I picked up the book: The Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar, introduction by Neil Gaiman, and read the back cover, which I will transcribe here:
"When a pair of fugitive Scottish thistle fairies end up transplanted to Manhattan by mistake, both the Big Apple and the Little People have a lot of adjusting to do. Heather and Morag just want to start the first radical fairy punk rock band, but first they'll have to make a match between two highly unlikely sweethearts; start a street brawl between rival gangs of Italian, Chinese, and African fairies; help the ghost of a dead rocker track down his lost guitar; reclaim a rare triple-bloomed Welsh poppy from a bag lady with delusions of grandeur; disrupt a local community performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream; and somehow manage to stay sober enough to save all of New York from an invasion of evil Cornish fairies.
If they can stop feuding with each other, that is."
Well, duh...Of course, I bought the book.

thanfiction's post. He is currently doing commisioned artwork, and if you read what he does, you will see at the end a link to see his deviant art page, and see the work for yourself.I (thanfiction) just wanted to make it publicly known that I am officially not only willing, but eager to take art commissions.
What I Do: Hand-drawn art. Styles vary from cartoonish (non-anime, more traditional comic-book) line-drawing to photo-realistic.
Why You'd Want It: Portraits, Shipper pics, Site Art, Cover Art, Fanfic Illustrations, Gifts, Icon Bases, etc.
What Your Options Are: B&W, partial color, or full color. Pencil, charcoal, acrylic paint, pastel, oil paint, colored pencil, pen-and-ink, or marker.
What I Can Draw: Pretty much anything, though my specialty is people.
What I Won't Draw: Pedophilia (yes, this means cross-gen with someone underage, sorry...but I do put underage as 17 by wizarding standards, and I am willing to draw up to PG-13/soft R with both participants between the ages of 13-17) Bestiality, Necrophilia, and I reserve the right to draw the line on some of the more bizarre kinks out there or on anything that frankly squicks me too much to be willing to stare at every detail of it to draw it. On the other hand, I'm pretty open-minded.
What It Would Cost You: Prices start at $15 for a really quick little icon-sketch, like my Seamus above, and go up from there depending on complexity. [here is the example of the icon:
]How It Would Be Handled: You give me the commission, we work out the details, preferably by phone, then I give you a preview scan of the sketch in low resolution. You like it, you send the money, I send you a high-resolution (300 or more DPI) version that is photo-print quality, and, if you want, the original by US mail.
How Long It Takes: I can do almost anything in a 48-hour turnaround. The only exception so far has been luvscharlie's little girl, which is taking me a bit longer because I just got the source pictures printed out last night, and then got monged.
Where You Can See Some Examples: My Deviantart page.
Can You...? Email me at thanfiction@yahoo.com The answer is probably.
This was just itching to get out. I hope it's all right that I did it. If not, I'll hear about it. :-)
Rating: G, although there are adult themes
Timeline: Post-DH/pre-epilogue
Author's Notes: Canon comes from JKR's Harry Potter's series and thanfiction 's Dumbledore's Army and all proprietary rights remain with them. Also includes spoilers for both.

When you get there, lick on read our authors' stories and then in the next screen, click on JK Rowling's name (or any others you may like).
It's two sides and extremely entertaining.

GIVE YOUR CHILD A FUTURE
GIVE YOUR CHILD A BOOK
Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
"...the existential moment when we
saw the couple in the coma and...
You don't know me at all"
"I think I'm in love, but it makes me kinda nervous to say so"
"if you talk too much, my head will explode"
"I was just sipping on something sweet
I don't need political process
I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
I got this feeling they they're gonna come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it's been getting to me all this time
And it don't stop dragging me down
Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I'm a travel man
But tonight this engine's failing
I still hear the children playing"
"Something is not right with me!
Tryin' not to let it show!
I tryed to call you collect
You said you would not accept
Your friends are laughin' cause
No body uses pay phones"
"Love just keeps growing the more you divide it, but pain is cut in half each time you share it.” - M.Blake
The Ragged Truth
Music Lyrics I Just Love
"They say that all things come in threes, well here comes the third degree"
"How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me, it's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language you just can't read"
"You're an office park without any trees"
"You call me up drunk, does the fun ever start?"
"If you love me, won't you let me know."
"I'm gonna do the things that I want to do, I ain't got a thing to prove to you."
"You make me come,
You make me complete,
You make me completely miserable."
"Some people call it a one-night stand, but we can call it paradise."
"I beg for some forgiveness, but beggin's not my business"
"You're a glutinous queen,
Narcissistic and mean"
"Comin' on strong like an intervention.
Back and forth and crazy
and we ain't done yet.
Does me no good
cause I'm sick of sex."
"Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back up to the shore
No ones in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
And the blinds are down"
