tarotgal: (Clearly excited)
I just sneezed. Maybe's it's a sign. LOL

First off... what a day! James (Scotty) dying and Canada making gay marriage all official and my boss' daughter's Bday and me... um... getting a new CD player and a battery for my car remote (I didn't mention the CD player on my LJ. My CD player died the day before I left for CA. I kept trying to make it play and it just wouldn't and I was driving in the car and SOBBING because it was broken. My grandparents bought me that CD player as a high school graduation gift and it was fitting for it to die just before I left to go out to CA to attend the service and sort through the house and all *sniffles*) Anyway...


What a THRILL to wake up to this morning before work. [livejournal.com profile] the_pirate_girl gave me something I've been wanting forever: an illustration specifically based on one of my stories. It's of Draco (and Snape) from my 'Familiarity' fic (which is weird because I was just thinking about that fic last night). Even though the fic was written long before HBP, the picture DOES CONTAIN A SPOILER for the book so, yeah, only look after you've read the book. (And, hey, read my fic, too, if you want!) The drawing is on her deviantART gallery here: http://www.deviantart.com/view/20772814/ and it's just fantastic. I'm so envious and flattered and touched and honored and warm&fuzzy with lots of happy *sigh* So everyone must go check it out and see what a lovely job she did!! *snuggles sick!Draco to pieces*



On an only slightly related note... I've been thinking about this for a while... and I hope this doesn't come off me being all full of myself or anything (though I suppose now would be a good time for it because- look at my pretty fic illustration gift! *snuggles it again*). Would anyone be at all interested in me writing commentary for one or more of my fics? I've discussed this idea with a few people in the past in relation to DVD commentaries and all, but I've never really tried my hand at it before because, yeah, the whole full-of-myself and pretending-someone-actually-cares-what-I-have-to-say-about-my-own-fics things.
But I think I'd find it fun to go revisit some of my stories in that sort of capacity. Would anyone actually like to read something like that? And if so, anyone have a fic they'd like me to provide commentary for? You know, a fic where, when you read it, you kept saying "TG, what the HECK were you thinking here?". Or maybe some WIP I don't have finished yet (uh, obviously not finished, because that's the IP part of WIP, innit?) that you'd like me to go through.
Anyone interested? Or anyone really sickened by the idea and will avoid me forever now for suggesting such rubbish? LOL!

Commentary

Okay... *huge warm hugs* As no one yet has thought it a terrible idea (and, on the contrary, everyone's been wonderful about it!)... does anyone have a preference as to what fic(s) you might like me to do a commentary for? My only preference is not The Ondarian Virus because.... well... LONG! And atypical, at that.

So... anyone curious about anything in particular and want to make a suggestion for a fic I should look at? Because otherwise it's me picking a number from 1-400 or something random like that :-)





On a complete unrelated note... we've got a new cat in our house as of last night. It's a neighborhood cat that some people in our development have been feeding but neglected to take to the vet for some reason. So my mom took her in yesterday. She's 2-3 years old but really, really tiny and skinny. She's white with bright blue eyes which means, yeah, deaf. But otherwise she's all right and now she's had her shots and she's living in a room in our basement until we know what to do with her. I just went down for the second time to see if I could get her to come out from behind the desk and not only did she come out but she JUMPED into my lap, lay down, and began kneading. So I think she's all right. She's SUCH a cutie!
