Woah. Actual fannish content.

Firstly, I'd like to point you in the direction of my website, now hosted by the gracious and wonderful svmadelyn, here.

It should all be up there, but if you find a dead link of any kind, please do drop me a line!

Thanks so much, svmadelyn!

Secondly, I've been making covers today for what is quite possibly my favourite story in SG:A: Ordinary Life by astolat and cesperanza. I'd been considering podficcing it, but then someone on sgapodfic said they were doing it, and I don't want to step on toes... so I decided to be arty instead *g*. Plus it's about time I exercised that muscle. So to speak. Anyway, I couldn't decide which cover I liked best, so I made a kind of mosaic of them all. Click the tease for the full version

Tease:



Hope you enjoy! :)

HOLY CRAP. Those are crazy gorgeous -- I am so in love with the style and colors. LOVE! *purr*

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks :D

Actually, looking at them again I can imagine them being your designs - very 'you'! *g*

[aurora]

Oh man, these are amazing!!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[dogeared.livejournal.com]

Oh, how cool!! I just *love* the way you've put all of your versions together--there's maybe something in there about slight shifts to what seems "ordinary." ;)

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, that was totally intentional ;)

[the-oscar-cat.livejournal.com]

they are great!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

thanks :D

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

I owe you an email, I'm just LITERALLY INSANE, but I wanted to thank you for this, SO MUCH, and to let you know that I recced it and made it my laptop wallpaper, so thank you thank you. And I hope you make a ZILLION THINGS for SGA, and for the love of god, anything for me that you ever want to ever ever!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you like it :D

Good? Check. Intelligent? Check. Hot? Check.

[rattlecatcher.livejournal.com]

You're like a mathematician with this!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks! :)

[tropes.livejournal.com]

Oh, how stunning. <3<3<3

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks :D

[jmchau.livejournal.com]

what a lovely cover for a wonderful fic.

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And isn't the fic awesome? I want to live in that world *sigh* :)

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

WOW.

That's a direct quote. I clicked and the mosaic image loaded and all I could do was stare and keep saying "WOW" over and over and over again.

These are absolutely brilliant. I am completely blown away.

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks :D

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

oh my god are you crazy omg - I was the one who said I was doing the podfic, but I'm also 1/ all for multiple version of things, oh yes, please, and 2/ more importantly, possibly your biggest podfic fan evarrrrr. I mean, I love the cover something fierce and I am so PLEASED to see it and everything, but I'm not sure I can live with myself thinking that you did not record this podfic because I shot my mouth too early omg. sdjbfdfjgldfg. please please please mam, would you reconsider? I'll beg on my knees, promise! There ARE no toes to walk on, there. seriously. *hopes hopes hopes*

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

hee, and, okay, now that I have clicked on the teaser I am even more floored. Oh, that's so pretty and awesome. *happy sigh*

(and your website is mighty pretty also!)

[newkidfan.livejournal.com]

This is freaking fantastic. The colors and composition are wonderful. Everything is so well balanced. LOVE!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. That looks amazing.

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[lim.livejournal.com]

I really love this. The composition, the repeating themes--the way you've lined up the light gradient so across the whole thing it loks like the surface of a rippling pool...Pure style. ♥

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D

[darsynia.livejournal.com]

These are amazingly gorgeous. I really love your style, especially where you carry over lines from one design aspect to the next, like in your example image! Very lovely, and the coloring... *dies*

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you liked them :D

[sasha-feather.livejournal.com]

That is beautiful!!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[kassrachel.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, wow, that is utterly gorgeous.

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D

[giglet.livejournal.com]

Oh beautiful!

I especially like the one you used for the teaser -- very Bond, very Miami!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[perspi.livejournal.com]

That is absolutely beautiful. EEEEEEE!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[lilyfarfalla.livejournal.com]

So pretty!!!!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks :D

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

LOVE! *three thumbs up*

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks :)

[sleepwalkerfish.livejournal.com]

That is gorgeous. I love both the imagery (if that's the right word) and the colours very much, totally fits the story.
Also, can you reconsider that podfic? Or if not that, something else, just something. Things to do in Denver is the podfic I listened to most of any fanfics, I love it so much I could quote the whole thing by heart. *g*

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Aw, glad you liked Denver. Have you got my others? this tag has all my podfics on it - all in SG:A if you're in dire need. And Ordinary Life is currently being betead, so should be posted in the next couple of days *g*

[cybel]

Oh, man, gorgeous! You know I'll come begging to use your work if/when the podfic goes up!

Ooh, and if you read it, all the better!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D

The podfic is being betaed now, but I have made a new, *special* cover for it, which will of course be available for you to use :D

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

These are *all* brilliant - if asked to choose *one* for the definitive cover of "Ordinary Life" I'd be hard put to pick it.

Not a synaesthete, I hasten to add, but you've managed to capture in pictures something of the writing style of this fic. And made it look something between a Saul Bass movie title graphic from the late 50s or early 60s and a David Hockney.

[ceares.livejournal.com]

Lovely, I can practically feel the warmth of the day off of these.

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

Oooh. That's so awesome. I love how you took one of my favorite images from the story and turned it around to be so much more. Very very cool!
