How You Can Help!

youcanhelp

This page is now twelve years old! Yay! Hugs for everyone! Thank you for being with us on FIA… no matter how long you’ve been here. 😉 Personally, I plan to keep this page around until the end of the universe. What makes this site special is the people involved—the writers, the readers, the reviewers, and all the members.

So I want to talk to you about one of our amazing members who needs our help. She’s Iridescent Dreamer on FIA, and Writerdragonfly on FFN/AO3. Something terrible happened in her family less than a week ago…. her stepdad was hurt very badly in an accident.

Here’s her story, in her own words.

“National Guard veteran Andrew Petty was hospitalized on June 20, 2016 (which was his son’s 15th birthday) following an accident while working with sulfuric acid that resulted in chemical burns over roughly 25% of his body and inflammation in his throat that resulted in intubation for more than 24 hours.

We are asking for support for Andrew and his wife Jacqueline during this difficult time and the transition afterward.”

I’ve never posted anything like this before, so you know it means something for me to be doing it right now.
Please, click on the image above and give whatever you can. And email her with support at Her gmail address.

Please let her know that we all care. 🙂

The Complete Summer Challenge Art Gallery

Hey all,

So this is kind of a test post to see if a gallery will work on this blog… I’ve never actually tried it before, so it will be a first! Bear with me. 🙂

A Nice Pic of Ginny. :)

Made by me, yay, in Reality 3/Poser/Luxrender. I’ll probably work on the materials much more in another version, but Reality’s materials nodes are a little intimidating. One mesh light was used. 🙂

Oh, yeah, and the camisole top is an original texture!! I’ll give it away from free… If anyone has Poser 8 and up, and Rhiannon’s “Sugar Jamaz” for Victoria 4/4.2, you can use it. I don’t know of any other HP textures so far. If I actually have been thinking about getting Marvelous Designer— that software is now priced by monthly usage. While this has all the same problems at the Adobe system, it also makes it possible to actually USE this software… for those who are determined to go the straight and narrow and NOT sail the pirate ship. (It catches up with you in the end, you know…)

Anyway, the point is that with MD, I could design anything! Authentic robes! Non-ho clothes for Ginny! Yay!

A New D/G Fic Recommendation List

Hey all,

So… I’m starting to hear something from D/G readers more and more lately. Well, I’m starting to hear a FEW things (all good! 😉 But this particular thing is:

 

“Can you recommend some good D/G fics?”

I think it’s a really good sign that we’re starting to hear this, because it means that interest is picking up. But, then, of course, the question is… okay… where to steer people to?

Here’s the basic list of D/G classics, as chosen by FIA members. It’s NOT up to date, but there are some great fics on it.
The D/G Classics

I would really like to see this updated, but that is NOT a project that even *I* am crazy enough to take on right before the fic exchange starts. And that’s saying a lot! 😛

Next, there’s the ffnet group list:

 
The DG Forum’s Favorite Fics.
 
These are both good places to start. I’ll post more tomorrow! 🙂
