Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

I'm off to the landofart again and I will be hanging out there until the end of the year:) I wholeheartedly recommend that community to all (fandom) artists, it's a great opportunity to play with graphic design and explore options in whatever programs you use for your creations. If you're curious about what kind of challenges there are, click on my Land of Art tag to see what I made for the previous round.
With everything you create, you collect points for yourself and your team. It's not a collaboration and the competition between the teams is really low key (Although it does help with motivation;) You don't have to do every challenge; as long as you join in once every 16 days, you can keep playing. There are 2-3 new challenges every week, so plenty to choose from:)
Interested? Take a look at the FAQ + Rules and then sign up here!
(Please tell the mods that BeeLikeJ from Team Steampunk sent you:-)

More artwork news: I updated my Artmasterlist!

Also: I have two invitations for PillowFort, should anyone be interested in joining that platform. They are making an effort to combine the community spirit of LiveJournal with the interface and looks of Tumblr. There are already a whole bunch of SPN fandom people over there, so you won't be on your own:) Comment or DM if you want one of these invitations. First come, first served!

Last but not least: I received three (3!!) fills in The Dance of Debauchery at spn_masquerade! I left it up to the creator to pick their Js and I ended up with all different combinations, haha.
Want some sexy Jeff/Jared or Jeff/Jensen or Jeff/Jared/Jensen? ( Check out these fabulous fics )

Fandom rocks \m/

Finally folded my laundry today (I left it on the couch for -ehm- a week?) and also cleared away the dishes. Nothing like company coming over to take a critical look at your home and get things done;) So I also cleaned up my arts & crafts corner. The frames I painted yesterday eventually got the same colour blue as the rest of the frames on my fanart-wall. All the marvelous creations made for me by dephigravity, badbastion, daggomus_prime and cassiopeia7 now have a permanent place of honour in my guestroom.

Spent the afternoon with book- and film buddy Jelle, talking about life, the world, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and of course books and films. *grins* I made him watch the first two episodes of Orphan Black (he's definitely going to find himself the rest of the series \o/) In return he offered arthouse film Under The Skin in which Scarlett Johansson plays "The Female"; a mysterious woman who seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland. Events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.
There was hardly any dialogue and no music whatsoever, so you were forced to realy focus on the (lack of) action on screen. Pfff. A tough one and well worth discussing afterwards, which we did over dinner. I understand the film was based on a book by Michel Faber and I definitely want to read it to find out more about Scarlett's character.

Jelle also brought me my birthday present, so I updated my booklist \o/

Ooooh, look what brutti_ma_buoni wrote for me, a sweet Jeff/Jensen ficlet: Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing... | SPN-RPF | 400 words | non-AU (well...) | PG for language

(My prompt was based on this Red Carpet interview with Jensen at the SPN200 presentation - look at his sincere little face <3.)

I'm at work right now and can't share this with anyone here, so I'm gonna squee all over my flist real quick: one of my prompts at the kinkmeme has been filled with Jeff/Jensen goodness. \o/ *bounces* I wish I could go and read right away. *wistful sigh*
Not sure yet if I should share a link publicly, as the kinkmeme is mostly anonymous and the story is most likely not for everyone, but if you send me a PM, I'll let you know where to go;)
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I love fandom. <3

It's not easy to get me out of my job-related funk these days, but today I totally forgot about my work-woe because dephigravity suprised me with AWESOME ARTWORK. Look at this amazing John/Azazel animation.. <3<3<3

So awesome. So cool. And MINE, haahahahahaaa! I've been grinning all day.
Thank you, dephigravity for making this extraordinairy piece of art (in support for FandomAid). It's wonderful.
