, comment and watch!
BTW, the background of this journal, you drew it right? It looks gorgeous! Is it in your gallery? Wait... I'll just check I was on my way to comment anyway!
Also, i finally figured out why I kept missing all your updates! I wasn't watching you, I thought I was, and was getting angry why you weren't on that list you have on the top of the page, you know the one that tells you who is and isn't online right now... anyway, will rectify it now
I did draw the background for the journal. It was very simple to put in place. I have the .css if you'd like to make a special Nero-chan Fan-Fic Post skin of your own with some of your *phenomenal* drawings. The pic is in my gallery, but not in the gray form. If you want the gray, I can put it in Sta.sh for you, no problem. And you could do 100 times better in your sleep, Nero, and that is no word of a lie.
Ah! Okay. Yes. Well, no worries. I pester you so much to begin with that you wouldn't *need* to Watch me. I practically hang out on your and Amanda's sites. And Teaque's. But I mostly button it. Except when I can't take it anymore. The Begging is strong with this one.
I hope you're liking The Ninth Muse. It was written to keep me occupied after one of my best friends, my siamese kitty, Tinya, died. My personal favourite of the fics is The Photography Club, in fact. Though it's a bit violent that case. I like the final twist. Have The Double Walker coming, and then this YA work.
I probably do write a lot, come to think of it.
Young Adult as in for young adults, or with Sherlock as a young adult?
If you do perfect human cloning, be sure to sign me up for one of my own... or two... Definitely not three, that would be greedy of me LOL
Hmm... I don't think I could... I mean skill is only practise and even if I might have spend more time doodling than you have, I still couldn't do your stuff better than you could. I mean, it's your style, so you can do it and probably no one else... Plus looking at your own stuff is always very different from other people's stuff, and the love you feel for your own work is very different from the love you feel for other people's work - at least that's how I feel.
Hehe, well obviously I do, I mean I kept missing things and wondering how that was happening... I watch about 200 people, so I do get a lot of messages, but I check them, so I kept thinking DA was deleting them LOL
Yeah. Sorry! YA as in young adult. Teaque again. She convinced me to do an early case Sherlock in uni -- neophyte Consulting Detective. I'd already had some ideas. Heaven knows if it will turn out. I didn't go to uni in the UK. But, should be fun. I can imagine how the Yard will treat him.
Re. perfecting human cloning, my Lord, when am I gonna learn you, Nero! Go big or go home! Three clones it is! (I've written you up.) I would clone Benedict. A few times.
Ah. You know, that's some good wisdom for me there, though I'd hardly call what you do 'doodling'. It's very true I have little time to actually do art. It's just how my job works. I do have a different kind of feeling for my own stuff than others' work (the art of some of the people around here often amazes me). But I kind of know every bit of what I've done in really sharp detail. It's weird how I can forget where I put my cell phone, but I can remember how I did each pics layers in excruciating detail.
OMG, you watch 200 people? Dear Lord, that's a juggling act, yeah? I don't watch all that many and sometimes must depend on tips from other dAers to find good pics.
Haha, yes, do clone Benedict a few times...
I had a while when I was working at Schiphol airport (when I was 18) when I had to travel 5 hours a day and work 9 hours - often 6 days a week - and sometimes only had three hours between shifts... I literally had no time for art, but I forced myself to at least take one night to draw something, because otherwise I would never practise again... Thankfully I have a bit more time now
Oh that's nothing, some people watch three times that... It's just in a year you come across so many wonderful artists that it adds up pretty quickly...
Yeah, there's no way I would have had the option to go to England and even check out the University of Cambridge. In fact, I was happily accepted to McGill and couldn't afford to go. Bloody expenses! But what can you do. I made the most of it.
Ah. I don't even want to think about some of my hours, in fact. Let me give an example. I worked 6PM to 6AM weekends, and then 8AM to 5PM weekdays with a day off in between. I really don't want to think about some of these shifts. Makes me queasy even now.
I honestly couldn't keep straight if I watched 100 people! Let alone 2 or 300! No wonder you lose track of who you're watching!
Aaand back to Benedict. I honestly would be stunned if he couldn't sing with a voice like 'a jaguar trapped in a cello' and all. Beautiful voice. I do know, 13 pages in, what I have Sherlock studying in uni though.
I hope you're well! Isn't it Friday night over there, I think?
Oh security is insane! Just to get to work I had to go through an iris scan, metal detector and too many times I'd have to get frisked. (YOu see, those metal detectors don't only go off if you're carrying metal, but they also do 'spot tests' so after a set amount of times they go off no matter what you do... And then it doesn't matter that you're personnel...
The worst thing security wise was if you had to switch from one store/ post to the next during the day, that would take: First you get into this plastic tube like room, where you have to get your iris scanned, and the tube won't let you out until it has succesfully scanned your iris.
Then you enter a room with two guards and this other plastic tube space thingy in the middle. You have to drop your stuff to be scanned, then get into the tube, raise you're arms above your head and spread your legs while you get scanned.
Then you get out and someone scans you with a hand held device. Then they give your stuff back (or check it).
You go to the next plastic tube, where once again you have to get your iris checked. Once that's done you can finally enter the other part of the secured art of the airfield and walk to the next store
So, what do you have him studying?
See, I don't think I could cope with all the security in the airport like you did. It would just weird me out too much. I respect people with that kind of patience and with such solid nerves. As I kept doing this, I'd be like -- holy smoke, is this place, that dangerous? Brr! Oh yeah, I agree with you that it would be stressful. I admit, that would freak me out.
Ohs, I can't be telling you what I have him studying!
