Everybody's doing a brand new dance now

*waves both arms* Still here! I'm not dead in a ditch!
It seems that BBB is sucking everyone in a vortex of amazing awesomeness, and who am I to resist the vortex?* I've been trying to comment every fic I read (I'm failing on that front /o\ I'm not good at commenting without sounding like a complete loser) and all the fanart (I'm better with those!).
Speaking of fanart, two of the pieces I drew are up!
One is the fanart for Tilting at Windmills by [info]icanbreakthesky (very, very nice story! Usually I don't read Hush Sound fic much, but I liked the summary and I wasn't disappointed. I really like that she managed to write the characters and make them sound like the teenagers they are. Really, give it a chance :]). The other one is for [info - personal]fiddleyoumust's story "When Life Gives You Lemons (Say Fuck the Lemons and Bail)". I think this is one of the best Brendon/Spencer I've ever read (and I'm not saying that because I drew the art for it). I've read the draft I was sent at least ten times and I thought that there was no way that she could make it more awesome than what it was already, but she totally did! It's beautiful and hurty in the good way and wonderfully written and OMG go read it already/again!!! It also has a wonderful fanmix! I advise you to go download that one first and then read the story with the soundtrack because that way you'll reach Nirvana, trust me!
Also, I fell in love with "You Got a Face with a View" by [livejournal.com profile] cloudlessclimes. It made me bawl my eyes out, ok? I've read it twice and I cried both times! If you haven't read it yet, go do it right now! I'll wait.
Oh! And have you read [livejournal.com profile] okubyo_kitsune's "Series: Brendon the Cat"? It's amazing! Read that one too!**

Anyway, apart from BBB, I had a sudden urge to change the layouts everywhere. I found this and used the first one for my Twitter and I tweaked the fourth one for my dw. I changed layout on Lj, too, but I'm not happy with it. I wanted something more wallpaper-y, but I didn't find anything that screamed "Me! Pick me!". I'll keep looking. ETA! Found it! I kind of miss the sidebar, but at least it's wallpaper-y :)

I feel like I've been bad on the flist front because I haven't commented much lately. I'll try to make it better tomorrow :)

Oh! I have 6 dw invitecode! As always, if you need one (or two/three/four/five/six), just tell me so and I'll give them to you :)


* Did you know the third episode of Charlie the Unicorn was here? I love this series so much! My sister and I often use Charlie quotes when speaking to each other :D One of these days I'm going to buy this and then I'll have an excuse to yell "SWIM AWAY FUGU FISH! SWIM AWAY!" when pouring coffee out of the moka :D

** after reading that fic I felt like I should go and delete "We Are So Purring", but I didn't have the heart to do it: 1500 words written in a language that is not my mothertongue is kind of a big deal for me. So, sorry. *pets the story* "You're not easy to write, but I love you anyway" *pets the story some more*

Brendon the cat series *____________________*
I think I'm gonna take a short break from BBB. Too much great fics to consume!

You CANNOT delete We Are So Purring. Never ever. cat!spencer is mad.

That series is so cute! OMG! I love it!
BBB is overwhelming. I don't remember being so excited last year! It's amazing!

*is scared* Uh... down, Spencer... I am NOT deleting the story... *walks slowly backwards*

I'm seriously failing at BBB commenting (I've left only 5 comments and all of them in the art posts).
I've checked out all the fanarts for the fics and oh god there's so many amazing ones!* I loved yours and am going to comment as soon as I get over my nervousness. I've also read about 6 big bangs and I'm about halfway through 7 more. There's a ton of great stories I can't wait to read!
(*I'm super nervous about my BBB art. It's both smaller and more simple than most of the pieces posted so far /o\)

There can never be too much Cats!Panic fic! Don't even think about deleting We Are So Purring. Also, 1500 words!! *\o/*

I'm doing ok on the fanart front, but the stories always leave me speachless and I end up writing incoherent comments that look like this --> "asdfghjjhgfdsa!OMGflailsyayfansselfo__Oawwwwssssome\o/moreplease!". It's horrible.
Thank you sweetie :D I'm sure yours will be fabulous! Don't worry about the size or the simplicity! Everyone has their own style, and as long as you like what you do, it's ok :)

1500! I'm still convinced that there must be a glitch in the word count tool!

I was kind of bored by the old one. This new one is slightly too pinkish for my taste, but I love flowery wallpaper :)

Yes, Miss. I won't, Miss.

(yes! Twitter is funny! You know... when you want to post about something that happened to you, but you don't want to write an lj post just to tell your friends that you have "found the most adorable little cafe in town! brb stuffing my face with pastries" or you need advice, like "dark green tee with black lacy details. yay or nay?". It's very nice. You can also use it to "stalk" your fave celebs... sadly, Merlin cast seem to ignore the existence of Twitter :[)
