Gift art for greenie :: Anonymous meme recs (part the second)

GIP again. Iconned from kaptainsnot's previously-linked giftart. ♥

Happy birthday, stiletto! I drew a little something for you... it's just a sketch, but hopefully will serve as a small token of my esteem.

More from the anonymous meme, non-HP this time. (bowdlerized, AVERT YOUR EYES!)


RPS

107. I don't know where you came from, but you're one of two people who has written RPS I enjoyed. (#91 is the other.)

Sleepless (G, Billy Boyd/Dominic Monaghan) by minor_blue
What I said: "I don't really get RPS and I don't like LotR, so it's hard to say why I decided to read this, but funnily enough, I enjoyed it. I liked the small details, the sounds, the smells... You do a good job of evoking this place and time that have temporarily become the whole world for these two men. Your prose has a clean, gentle rhythm that transcends genre."


91. Your writing is incredible. I routinely become incoherent when trying to feedback you. You're also one of those funny two-journal people.

Misery is the River of the World (R, Thom Yorke/Beck) by alibi_factory/sifelaver
God help me, I loved this. The imagery is as fantastically surreal as the pairing might suggest, yet it's grounded in the reality of the way people are together, and it's just... damn. It *has* to be RPS, too, because it's about the roles people make up for themselves-- wanting and not wanting someone to peel them away. (Take a good look at the last two paragraphs. Sifelaver takes us out on a laugh, and it takes a second to realize that he's also just encapsulated the whole story in microcosm!)

'Evolution has brought them here, to the top of metal and glass clawing into the sky, a penthouse laid with careful insults, sharp knives and expensive furniture. They haven't been out in weeks, and their skin is sallow from lack of sun...'

X-Files

95. People have mistaken your writing for mine, and vice versa. I consider this a tremendous compliment to me. You should write more in my fandom.

Any Moment (PG-13, Doggett/Reyes, Reyes/Follmer) by winter_baby
This is the fic that was mistaken for mine, in a secret-gift-exchange guessing game situation. It's spare and stylish and lovingly characterized. I would have been happy to claim it!

Awwww, thank you! *huggles*

And I totally missed that meme. I can't believe you said such wonderful things about me. *mwah!*

Write more HP? Hee, who knows? It could happen.

[pauraque]

You're welcome! And yay. I hold out hope. *g*

[exbentley]

Um, permit me a fangirl: OMGSQUEEEEEEE!

:D

Uh, yeah. Thankyou so much *sends love* This is absolutely brilliant. Words can not express my happines... :)))

[pauraque]

You're welcome! I hope you had a happy day.

Speaking of sketches, I yearned to iconize your "swooping Snape" and fainting Harry way back when, but never got around to asking your permission to do so. I'd credit in the keywords, of course.

[pauraque]

Sure, go on ahead. :)

Hee, great sketch! Peter is very cture, Dumbledore looks suitably Gandalf-y, and I love Snape's squinty eyes (you just know he has glanced away because Dumbly was droning on at him. Ha!)

[pauraque]

Thanks. :D
