dec_2004_archive of fia

And now it’s time for another episode of “Guess What This Is,” aka “Reason #83479204.pi Why It’s Totally Pointless To Take Down Your Fanfics In An Attempt To Pretend You Never Wrote Or Posted Them.” Because The Wayback Machine knows. That’s why.

Yep, y’all, it’s Dec 28, 2004. All of these lovely fics are still with us, to the best of my knowledge; this is a date randomly chosen to make a point.

Also, it’s fun to look up old web pages. Wow, there’s a lot on there. 🙂

New Discussion Site for the OFIC Forums!

OFIC FORUMS

Hey all,

So I’ve thought about this a lot. The ofic forum idea has been on my mind for about a year. And I’ve never really done anything with it yet. There’s so much going on right now, including the D/G fic exchange (only 19 days left, people!!) But I realized something: there will never be a perfect time!! Or maybe right now is ALWAYS the perfect time. 🙂 Sometimes you just need to carpe that diem.

What exactly IS an ofic forum? It’s all explained right here—and even a little bit about why it’s so important for the future of the D/G fandom. Whether you’re a writer, a reader, or both, you REALLY want to be involved with this. I’ve decided to have the discussion board as part of the FIA forums, because they’re already there and set up. So come and join in!

3 Weeks Left to Write Exchange Fic! And New Ginny Pic!

ginny 2_0Hey all,

So here’s a new Ginny concept I’ve been working on. What do y’all think? Ginny 1.0, or Ginny 2.0? 1.0 is the one you’ve been seeing, and this is 2.0. I’ll do another closeup render of 1.0, too.

And it’s 3 weeks to the day before the exchange fics are due! Yippee skippee! 🙂

This is what Reality looks like…

Ginny 02
Here’s a render of Ginny, NOT done by me (but by Jonasb67.) It’s an example of what can be done with Poser and Reality 3, a plugin for LuxRender, the only computer rendering engine I’ve ever seen that produces true photorealism. It can also be very painterly, which we see in this example. Again, not by me, but I’m going to spend the next couple of weeks seriously studying Reality… (very existential.) It’s very very very very very complex and difficult. 😛 But the results that you can get are almost not to be believed.

And you know, there’s a plugin called FaceRoom for Poser where you can build an amazing 3D model of a face and head from ONE photograph. Basically, we could put anyone’s face on a Draco and a Ginny, and then…

Well, then it could get very weird. But it can be done. 🙂 I’m thinking about getting FaceRoom.

And the D/G Exchange Writing Begins!!

Hey all,

So the picking of the prompts is CLOSED!! Well, all except for the two people haven’t sent in their picks yet, and Y’ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE… SO SEND THEM IN. All of the prompts are sent out except for #5 and #13.

Now write, write like the wind! I’m very inspired by mine. 🙂

LAST DAY OF PROMPT PICKING!!!

Hey all,

This is THE VERY LAST DAY to pick your prompt for the D/G fic exchange. So if you’re one of the last holdouts (and you know who you are… well, if you’re reading this, you know who you are…)

DO EET.

See what Draco is going through? Don’t let this happen to you!!

Next to Last Day of Prompt Picking!!

So here it is, the penultimate day of prompt picking! That means that tomorrow is the LAST DAY. We WILL email anyone we haven’t heard from after tomorrow. So don’t make us come over there. 😉

Day FOUR of prompt picking!!

DG contentment_02

Pretty much the same news as yesterday… the number of prompts is dwindling fast! There are just two days left to pick yours, if you haven’t already. And here’s the promised Part 2 of the “D/G Contentment” graphic strip. I think I’m going to do more of the multi-parters.

Day THREE of prompt picking!

DG contentment_01

I’ll tell y’all what, if you haven’t gotten over to the LJ yet to pick your exchange prompts, this is a GOOD time to do it. There are only three more days to pick, and while there are some prompts left, they are going fast. So head on over there and make your choice, if you haven’t already!

For more inspiration, here’s the first of a two-part graphic series with Draco and Ginny. This entire thing might eventually develop into a graphic novel, for all I know. 😉 Wow, I really worked on this one, and I’m still not totally happy with it. There were originally some horrible shadows that had to be taken out, and then the background wasn’t in the right focus, and etc etc and etc… oh, and Ginny’s skirt is HAND PAINTED BY ME.

(waits for applause)
(crickets chirp)
(tumbleweeds roll by)

Trust me, it took a lot of work. 😉

P.S.: I still don’t know if anything can be recovered off that drive. Hopefully, there will be more news soon, and it’ll be good!
