Hi all!

I briefly mentioned yesterday, buried in another post, that I signed up to do art for a Big Bang story! First time for me!

It just got posted tospn_j2_bigbang 

The Last Smile I Fake
Fic title: The Last Smile I Fake
Author name: quantrail 
Artist name: growyourwings 
Genre: RPF
Pairing: Jared/Sandy, eventual Jared/Jensen
Rating: PG-13 for language and references to sex
Word count: ~23,000

Summary: Jensen and Jared have been friends since they were five years old. Jensen made the mistake of falling in love with an oblivious Jared during high school while Jared only had eyes for the popular Sandy McCoy. It's been five years since high school ended and Sandy has recently moved back to town from Dallas. After sacrificing all of his dreams to stay in town with Jared, Jensen finds that three's a crowd when Sandy takes an interest in Jared. Jensen must now decide between staying in Texas with Jared or at long last following his dreams to New York.

And here's a link to my Art Master Post.

A short time ago I saw a few F13 Jared picspams floating about.  I was way too busy at the time to do much more than look and drool.  But I kinda want some of those Jared photos now.  And I can't even remember where I saw them. 

Anyone have any links?

 

OMG. I'm so laughing right now. Someone had the right idea for this behind-the-scene(?), promo(?), whatever shot from After School Special.

In celebration of my LJ-versary, I figured it's about time I made my own header from my own photographs of the Js.

Whew! Been wanting to brighten the layout for awhile. Finally took the time today to do it!

SPN Vancouver Con 2009
Schedule, Guest Line Up, Venue, Etc.





In an effort to get ahead on this. I'm starting my SPN Vanc Con 2009 Schedule, Venue, Guest List and Master Posts now! (And yeah, I know I'll probably still get behind.)

Link to Creation's SPN Vanc Con 2009 site.

ETA:  Pardon my LJ--darn thing is auto-idiotically messing with this post and adding random divs, spans, lj-cuts, etc.  *headdesk*  Trying to fix.

( Let the pre-squee begin... (hey I gotta fill my time somehow...) )

Man, I can see why I lost steam doing that back in April. 

But now I've cleared the books and I can look towards the end of August and the Vanc Con!

Go here to the Master Post to see photos for Aldis, Sam, Julie, Misha, Richard, Malik, Fans and Friends.  The items listed on the master post with "Updated!" next to it are the ones I've updated and/or added.

And as usual, I haven't done anything I told myself I'd do today.  I just wanted to get this DONE.

ETA: Dammit!  I just realized I left out Steve and Jason.  Doggone.  Not done yet. 

ETA2:  Fixed.  Steve and Jason are added.  Done. Done.  Done.  (and done)

Just posted my LA Con 2009 Aldis Photos here.

I was a little distracted yesterday when I posted about my updated LA Con Photo Ops.  I forgot to link to the updated post!  Sheessh.  Anyway here's the link to the updated Photo Ops--including the one with Misha.

I'm working on getting the remainder of my LA Con photos posted over the next day or so.  Gotta clear the books for Vanc Con!  For some reason I can't find my photos of Samantha, Aldis, and Julie.  But I'm sure I took some.  I think I must have them filed elsewhere.  So I'll be looking for those as well.  Others that I will be posting soon will include Jason (I have a lot of his concert for some reason), Steve, Richard, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous fan photos (some of those will be friend's locked though).

I just put  up my Malik photos here.



Plus here's a link to the overall Master Post as well.

Hey everyone.  I'm playing catch up a bit.  June is a busy month for me due to family celebrations.  I've got several updates I'm behind in and am taking a few minutes to try to catch up a bit.

If anyone is interested, I've updated my SPN LA Con 2009 Photo Op post to include some updated scanned photos as well as the Misha photo op that finally arrived. 

And just cuz....

If you want icons from the recent Kane/Carlson/Jensen gig in PDX go here.  Canadiangoddess has a whole bunch of them!

A few examples....

( under the cut... )

Before I found the SPN fandom, my original fandom was Star Trek.  Over the past 10ish years, since I first found the InterWebs, I'd been collecting TOS and TNG vids and images on my computer. 

This was before LJ.  If I'd been on LJ back then, I'd have put them in my journal for reference, etc.

I haven't googled ST for quite awhile (been too busy with SPN dontchaknow.)  While looking for something to send my friend I mentioned in my past post, I started re-finding many of the images and vids I'd collected over the years.  I can remember how HARD it was to find these vids in years past--and there they are--on YouTube in seconds.

Posting some here for my reference.


Star Trek meets Monty Python (Gen, Humor, TOS)




Nine Inch Nails (NC-17, Kirk/Spock, Warning for Slashey, and implied NonCon and NSFW lyrics).  Normally semi-violent fanvids aren't really my thing.  But this vid is SO well done.   One of the best out there from old-school ST fanvids. Those who follow ST fanvids will likely already know about this vid. 

</lj-embed>



Star Trek 40th Anniversary Tribute (Gen).  When this video first came out, I teared up watching it.  I mean what other "show" has such a wealth of history and characters in it.  And all of that started from Roddenberry back in 1966!  This vid does a great job of chronicling the whole Star Trek universe.


Jim Carrey paradies Kirk In Living Color (Gen, Humor).  I remember when this first aired on TV.  Hilarious.


Picard and Q get Footloose.  (Picard/Q, suggestive, humor).  This was the first fanvid I ever found.  I found it through the first slash I ever found--which was Picard/Q. 


Shatner Raps.  Technically not ST.  It's a clip from the movie "Free Enterprise" about geeks and fandoms and Star Trek.  Shatner raps in this scene.  And I think he's pretty good!


When I'm 64 (Kirk & Spock, Gen - could be interpreted as Kirk/Spock I guess.)





Desert Rose (Kirk/Spock, NC-17-I *think* from memory, Warnings: NSFW images).  Another one of my favorites.  I ended up buying this song and played it so many times the year I found this fanvid.  There's no embedding on this vid.  You can find it here.



All of my saved ST fanvids are archived off on an external drive that I don't have ready access to right now.  I know there are about 3-5 other classic ST fanvids that I can't recall the names/songs for right now.  I did a bit of scan through YouTube and didn't see them out there.  If I ever find them, I'll add them.


ETA:  Yay!  Just found another!

Razzle Dazzle!  (Gen)  One of my favorite Jim Kirk fanvids



 

ETA:  I'm so glad someone has finally reproduced the above classic ST promo shot with the actors from the new movie!

Due to a weird set of circumstances I found myself talking about the character of Spock to a new acquaintance.  Someone who, while they had heard of Spock, didn't really know that much about him.

Spock is my favorite character from classic Trek.  I was googling to send her some info and ran across this video essay about the character of Spock.

I'm posting it here for my later reference.

...I swear that boy is really something. I feel a little obsessed with him lately.

I ended up doing this drawing of him just 2 days ago. It's from one of my photos of him in LA.  This is a quick snap from my little camera. Blurry and it doesn't show the contrast or detail well. But I can't stop staring at him.

(and why, yes, I am fickle even in my fleetingness of boredom. which lasted all of, oh, 2 minutes.)

So not 2 minutes after I made my riveting BOREDOM post.  I found this vid on my flist by alena2b!

It made me smile!  Yay!  Go thank her here.

(and no, I didn't mean thank her for making me smile!  although... if you really wanna... feel free!)

Via Mrsr58 who found them here.

I only grabbed a few. There are some more of Jensen. But these are the ones that caught my eye. And OMG if you love soaps, don't hate me...but man I LOL'd out loud a lot looking through these soap photos
 .

Just keeping my Jensen photos up-to-date

More photos and vids of Jensen singing in PDX last night.

From classicangel23:

I had the chance to see Jensen sing last night and I DIDN'T GO because I was TOO TIRED from throwing a family birthday party. Lame. Lame. Lame.

Fickeone called me around 7:30 with the news that Jensen had been sighted in downtown PDX at Nordstrom. I knew it was Chris Kane's bday this weekend and since the boys had to be back up in Vanc next week I had figured there was a chance one or both of the boys would go to the Kane/Carlson gig on Sunday.

But I had family stuff and I'd seen the boys, yada, yada.

Yeah, again--Lame.

So we decided not to go and then fickleone's friend beensupe talked her into it (good for her!) Later that night I get a text from fickleone saying Jensen SANG!

*headdesk*

Once in a f*cking lifetime,

*headdesk*

Oh well. I'm glad that fickleone and beensupe got to see it. Go here to read fickleone's account.

AND someone else took vids and photos! Yeah! So I don't feel totally left out.

The following photos and vids are from Dawn Hewitt and sadiane (link to sadiane's LJ post).

Jensen leading the crowd in signing happy birthday to Chris!


And then all the fantastic photos!
