LIN

Dipping my toes back into one of my older fandoms, and it's a little bit of a joy to draw Lin again now that I've acquired no short amount of a significant skill (read: can finally draw older women). Referenced Marlene Dietrich a fair bit for this one as I wanted to stick to a more realistic style, and happened to know that stylistically Lin was inspired by her. Figuring out how to translate her hair to my style was a fun challenge in particular.

Hate to burst your bubble but no, they're not actually canon. In fact, Liv even has a girlfriend that's not Helen. Sorry >.<

WHAT?????​I haven’t gotten to their audios yet so basically all I know about them is that they’re in love. AND THEYRE NOT EVEN IN LOVE????????

#BUT THEY. BUT THE. HUH??? #ti talks #asks #meluisart #thank you for breaking the news

[pers-books]

Tumblr won't let me book you for some reason, so here's one: BOOP!

Yeah, I had to opt out because on the web I couldn't see all the buttons for Activity, Messaging, etc, with it on, not even by resizing my screen. *sighs*

I'll turn it back on again. (Then probably back off in a bit!)

But thanks for the Boop!

Blorbo bingo Helen Sinclair. Obviously.

i like MY fanon better. i don't like accepted fanon better. i also like accepted fanon more than stranded, but i also don't. she could have been everything in stranded. fanon sometimes also makes her into nothing. hope that helps

#I LOVE HER in case that wasn't clear #what the fuck aimed at stranded obvs. why did they do that to me #meluisart #i got an asking

[ellrond]

Saw LOTR: FotR live in concert today, with the ost played entirely by live orchestra but I s2g as soon as Elrond showed up I had to think of u. Obvs.

7, 14 and 30 ;)

Hello, and thank you very much for the ask!

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

Clay. It's so beautiful and creative and I have immense admiration for artists who work with it. I did try it when I was a kid and oh boy, it was hard but satisfying.

14. Any favorite motifs

I don't really work with motif either (and I thought it was a thematic motif rather than a pattern for some reason), but I like intricate wood openwork, especially. I wish I had the patience to draw them more often.

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

Definitely this one:

Granted it's a niche ship and an even nicher AU, but I was really happy with the composition and the energy. And the arms.

Interaction that happened in my coffee bar today: Lady that is already in my fucking kitchen: "Can I wash my hands here?" Me: "Uhmmm no, you are not supposed to even be in the kitchen." Lady: "Not in the kitchen, OK. I'll just get a cloth here." *Gets a dishrag from the suds on the scullery, washes her hands with it and throws it back in there, just standing in the middle of the fucking kitchen the whole damn time.* Me: *Staring in disbelief* (Art by @meluisart of my fursona Bonnie being just as confused about this as I am)

For the blorbo form: Romanadvoratrelundar (specifically Romana ii)

(is now a bad time to admit to the fact that romana really isn't one of my favourite characters at all... and that i only really care about her in gallifrey....)

Questions for Writers

Haven't done one of these ever so... here we go :D Thanks for the tag @riversofmars

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

128

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

1,815,281

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Last Tango in Halifax

Doctor Who

Happy Valley

Collateral

As long as we have Nicola Walker and/or Sarah Lancashire I'm there!

Some of the others include:

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

These Are The Days Of Our Lives - a series of Last Tango in Halifax fics based on prompts from Tumblr, these were meant to be one shots but found myself weaving it all together int oa bigger story!

The Story - my canon companion to Last Tango - weaving things around the canon with no divergence to make it a love story - this was bloody hard!!!

More Time, More Life, More Feeling - another Last Tango, and probably one of my favourites - I still read this fairly often like a little comfort blanket haha.

The Big L.  - my very first outing with Last Tango. I still love this story even though I look back at it and cringe a little giving it was the first thing I ever wrote, but it means a lot to me.

Fall On Me  - a collab that I did with @question-of-perception that explores things from a different perspective for Last Tango!

I've actually written far more for DW than LTIH but you wouldn't know it!

5. Do you respond to comments?

Of course! Each and every one, it's so lovely when I get them and I get so excited!!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I'm definitely a happy endings girl and I can't stand it when things don't work out, so this is hard... Maybe

Between the Eyes  because it wasn't an immediate resolution?

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hahah all of them have happy endings! I would probably have to say

New Day Coming  for DW, perhaps, although love the one for What Christmas Means To Me  as well. In terms of Last Tango in Halifax, probably The Big L.  because I was so determined to give them their happy ending, its fluffy mcfluff.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully no, I would definitely cry hahah.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Um. Yes. Probably too much, but its a public service, right? RIGHT?!

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Yes, all the time! My maddest one is probably Call It Dreaming which is a crossover between DW/Last Tango/Happy Valley/Collateral and also has some Stranger Things elements... That was madness, haha.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of! Hope it stays that way...

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I feel like I'm some kind of co-writing slut, hahaha. Yes. With @riversofmars, @question-of-perception, @mrskeeleyhawes, @meluisart, @pocketofpencils and also with some of the folks over at the Hebden Bridge Discord Server. I really enjoy it!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

It's a close toss up between Caroline Mckenzie Dawson/Gillian Greenwood and Liv Chenka/Helen Sinclair <3

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Hmm... I've got a lot of ideas for different things that I make notes on and a few WIPS, but I'm sure I will come back to them eventually!!

16. What are your writing strengths?

Maybe dialogue? To be honest I don't really know, I just go for it and hope for the best hahaha.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I feel that sometimes I fall back on the same language/phrasing for things and I annoy myself, and always think it's super noticeable in my writing!

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I have the odd bit where there is a point but otherwise CBA. I don't speak any other languages haha.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Last Tango in Halifax.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Whyyyyy do I have to choose just one?! I love More Time, More Life, More Feeling for Last Tango, Interstellar for DW (the middle section is probably, in my head, one of the better bits of writing I've done), Danger Zone because Top Gun AU makes me die, and also Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost  with @riversofmars because Lord of the Rings was the first fic that I ever read way back when I was an angsty teen fangirl. Hah.

Tagging some people I think might be interested but anyone who sees this and fancies it, please fell free! @katiedingo @meluisart @ultramassivecollectorcupcakeblr @pocketofpencils @darkbloomiana
