I did Dragon Age Remix and Remix Revival one after the other, which means I have a WHOLE HEAP of remixes by both me and other people to link to. Below the cut: Eight works about female characters from Dragon Age (mostly dwarves), and one Portal fic.

Image descriptions at each link.

I wasn't going to post this until I had some other stuff to go with it, but I'm bored.

My brain has so much trouble once a story gets above about 7K words, I have extreme difficulty keeping all the themes and emotional arcs etc straight. Even with shorter stories I have to write them as little scenelets and then fairly short chapters otherwise I can't keep it all straight. But this demanded to be long! Which isn't that surprising I suppose, since I've been pondering how to get Chell and GlaDOS together since finishing Portal 2. So many shippy feelings, so many reasons they would never work. Various ideas and stuff have leaked out into other robot stories over the past year, which is good, or it would have been like 30K and unfinished. Also it made me realise how much I freaking love writing stories about robots and AIs :D

If you're into Portal fic it all seems to be on tumblr these days (this certainly got a much larger response there than any of the other fic I've posted) meaning I've finally gotten into this whole subscribing to tags thing the kids are talking about these days.

I have finally finished every single artistic goal I'd set myself in the last little while. Now I just have to wait for Ladystuck to start posting in January.

Fandoms: Good Omens, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Wicked, Portal, Mass Effect 2.

First, something really depressing: Cane toad hops into Bayswater Way too close to my house for comfort D: D: (the true horror of this may be lost to non-Australians)

And now a bunch of happy things from tumblr, which will be of no interest to anyone who is already subscribed to me there. I've linked to my posts since they have image descriptions.

A really pretty beach at night

Too tired to do anything productive, so here's a big old art post including jewelry and an actual painting with paint.
( Jewelry, Princess Tutu, The Middleman, Batwoman, Portal 2 )

I made a post about Political fanart at sqbr which some of you may be interested in.

I've also updated my Redbubble store with my more recent original art.

I was linked this disturbing picture of me and the rest of the 1999 Unisfa committee at Terracon (description below). I'm the one on the back left with the APPALLING jumper, even back in the 90s people mocked me for it. It was cold, ok :P

I've been playing Portal 2, it's awesome, though I must admit I have resorted to a walkthrough now and then (I shall blame it on brainfog and ignore the fact I have always been too impatient to finish puzzle games without a walkthrough). It took a little while to stop feeling like a gratuitous sequel with nothing new to offer, but a couple of chapters in and it got really interesting, both in terms of puzzles and plot/setting etc.

Yesterday (after getting stuck on Portal 2) I decided to finally finish my third Dragon Age: Origins character, who has been most of the way through the game for months after I couldn't face a particular long unpleasant dungeon crawl again.
