Several people have done wonderful illustrations for Dreaded Creatures Glide, and I'm doing an informal archive. Please give them feedback!

Adry2000:
Far Seer A miniature but incredibly adorable Far Seer.

Far Seer. Another version of Far Seer with added chains.

DinKelion:
Far Seer. A beautifully detailed drawing of Far Seer.

Huabot:
Far Seer. A gorgeously colored picture of Far Seer on the beach, his tail stretched out in front of him.

Inbar:
Come Back, Kee-Kee.... A portrait of Far Seer after Terry has left him.

Far Seer and Terry. An adorable drawing of Far Seer, Terry, and the horse drawing.

Feet! . Far Seer and his need to touch Terry's feet.

Kaydyy:
Terry and Far Seer. Our heroes underwater.

Puka:
Far Seer. An eerie portrait of Far Seer.

Vitna:
The Cast of DCG A fantastically rendered and extremely buff Far Seer, as well as portraits of Terry and Prince Charles.

Far Seer Info Sheet. Various extremely striking sketches of facial expressions and physical details of Far Seer.

Far Seer and Terry Portraits of our heroes.

Far Seer Far Seer swimming.

I've also gotten a wee bit of fanart for Within a Forest Dark!

Adry2000:
Santo. A striking set of three dolls that show Santo's demonic transformation.

Santo. Another set of Santo, offset by demonic beasts.

Huabot:
Unofficial Cover. Bello being chased by Santo. Santo is insanely menacing in this picture, and Bello's look of "WTfOMGBBQ" is very fitting.

Lambent:
Benedict My version of Benedict, although that shouldn't stop anyone else from drawing him.

Euoi! Fanart!

Monyong:
Deinos. A fabulous portrait of Deinos.

I am constantly running into fics with terrible Latin titles or phrases or general nonsense. If you don't know it, don't write it. Using the online Latin dictionary you found will not allow you to make proper Latin sentences. Poor Latin, like poor language of any kind, does not make you look intelligent and mysterious. It makes you look like an idiot.

At least these people aren't tattooing it on their skin. As far as I know. Argh. Don't people know that Classicists have nothing to do and would be very happy to ensure that your Latin is not nonsensical crap?

In other news, I'm alive, and apologize to anyone who is waiting for an update. Fittingly, these days I am busy reading Latin. :-)

Title: The Color of His Eyes

( Chapter 10 )

Benedict, for those not in the know, is the big cheese of the vamps in the USA, and when our hero Bello deep-sixed his current boytoy he got pissed and pissy.

Despite its many errors, this picture really helped cement Benedict in my mind. I like his narrow eyes, tilted head, sharp jaw, pursed lips and long thin nose. He looks like he might give a toothy sneer at any second.



( My first photoshop creation. Plz to be ignoring mistakes. )

An update, finally. For everyone waiting on my other stories, I haven't forgotten those, either. I've gotten a couple of responses from readers who seem convinced that I've forgotten all about my stories, and I assure everyone that isn't the case. I don't write as fast as many other authors, I know, but I can't help that.

Title: Within a Forest Dark
Summary: A hunter learns that there are far more threatening creatures in the world than vampires.

A ficlet in response to some of the requests for one. Far Seer and Terry fluff, which takes places when Terry returns to the pool at the palace for the second time.

I'm not sure where this piece came from. Possibly it was too much Greek and y!Gallery and then this adorable statue of a satyr I ran into at a museum. This story will be a standalone, I think, although I have tentative plans for the rest if it winds up generating interest.

Oh, and I'm not kidding about that violence warning, although it's not graphic.

Title: Euoi!
Warnings: M/M, Violence, Angst, Abuse, N/C
Summary: Aetos, noble prince of the Achaeans, is captured by Deinos, king of the satyrs.

Confession: I usually start my stories with only a vague sense of where they're going. I've got some vague arc planned out, a place I'd like to wind up, but the middle is always kind of... iffy.

With "Within a Forest Dark" things were especially sketchy. I was in the middle of planning things when all of a sudden Bello grabbed me and threw me into the story, and I had ten pages before I even knew his name. I had "Beauty and the Beast" for a loose framework, but I knew I wanted to go somewhere different with it, and I wasn't sure where. I was getting more hemmed in as I wrote, giving Bello attributes when I had no real idea how to tie them all together.

Meanwhile, in "The Color of His Eyes" (ugh, I hate that title) things have suddenly and very vehemently come together. When I started writing it I just threw together a bunch of random elements I liked without thinking about how they would connect, and now they *have,* without any conscious planning on my part.

Today the same thing happened for "Within a Forest Dark." The answer to my problem (which I won't explain for fear of giving away the story) just fell into my lap. It started out with "huh, that's interesting" and a Google search and a Wikipedia page later it was "holy shit, how fucking perfect is that?" I'm so, so excited, y'all. All of the other possibilities I had been contemplating hadn't quite fit, and this one *does.* Omg, you guys, it does it does it does.

To spread the glee, and since I feel bad for not being able to really explain what I found out that was so damn perfect, I'm offering ficlets/drabbles. I'm not sure if anyone has any interest, but if you do, I'm here. Any pairing (or gen) from any of my stories. Request away. :D

I completely forgot to post this here when I updated!

This is my least favorite story, but by golly I intend to finish it.
