Elementary! It's a modern version of Sherlock Holmes set in New York and three of the first four episodes have been great (the third was irritatingly generic serial killer plot, ug. Hopefully there won't be more of those)

Crust! We ordered from them last night, I got Peking duck with Hoisin sauce and vegetables (and no cheese or chili) and it was GREAT. Probably the best cheese free pizza I have ever had. The gluten free and vegetarian options are apparently great too. Unfortunately they couldn't tell me the ingredients of their meat marinades, so peking duck is probably the only one I'll be brave enough to try, but I can live with that.

Kaleidoscope! There was an issue with AO3 and it went unanon but just in case that gets fixed, I shall keep my super secret writers super secret identities a secret :)

Anyway: I got two fics and they're both great! The writers gave me exactly what I asked for.

Seven Wishes for Charlotte Lu: Lizzie Bennet Diaries
and
General Studies of Division: D.E.B.S.

I also really liked
My Teacher Is A Gangster: Gokusen
and
Era of Red Happiness: Twelve Kingdoms

Woke up at 1am INTENSELY AWARE of how dry my mouth was, had to get up and get a drink, and then was VERY AWAKE. And I am still very awake as 3am approaches, ack, oh well I had no plans tomorrow.

Have finished my Kaleidoscope thingy well enough, though I may work on it more once I have taken a break and can find a beta. Which is good, because [community profile] yuletart is back! Woo! Signups close soon if anyone is interested.

Only did four in the end, though I may add a fifth at some point. There's lots of works I'd be willing to do fanart for, but not so many I would LOVE doing ANY art for.

D.E.B.S (Max and Dominique): Awesome fun lesbian spy comedy romance. Main characters are white but there's two POC characters who could do with some fleshing out.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries (Bing Lee, Caroline Lee, Charlotte Lu) I think it could be really interesting to explore these characters, especially Charlotte and Caroline.

Happy Picture Diary by Morishima Akiko (Nacchan, Haru-chan): Totally adorable comics about a lesbian couple in Japan.

Scott Pilgrim (Knives Chau): I really liked Knives.

Here's the treats I did for Kaleidoscope.

The key to our future success (69 words) by faviconsqbr
Fandom: Effluent Engine - N. K. Jemisin
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Jessaline Dumonde
Summary: It took a moment for Jessaline to be convinced about her new assignment.
The key to our future success on DA

Reading "Effluent Engine" I was really taken with the idea of Haitian scientists creating original research for the good of their country in their own way.

Well they have to be good for something (43 words) by faviconsqbr
Fandom: The ArchAndroid - Janelle Monae
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Cindi Mayweather
Summary: Cindi straightens her bow-tie with the help of a mirror faced guard. Based on the music video "Tightrope".
Well they have to be good for something on DA

I have to admit that before I started looking into it, while I thought Janelle Monae was pretty talented I didn't understand why so many people wanted works based on her videos. But once I started reading about the whole ArchAndroid thing I became really taken with the whole concept and character of Cindi Mayweather, and the Tightrope video gained a whole new layer of meaning.
