Yay stuff...

Quick post to share a couple of awesome things.

First...If you're an NCIS fan (and even if you're not) go read Soul Deep by xanthestories. It's Gibbs/DiNozzo and an amazing fic. She should be posting the last part eeeaarly tomorrow morning. (I blame her for my current lack of sleep, but totally worth it.)

The second awesome thing is a commission that I got from silvertales . It's Tim/Kon and it's wonderful. I love it sooo much. I just had to share with everyone. I'm planning on doing some icons and possibly a header for my journal with the pic. :)

Here's a low-res version of it...




I *love* the excited look on Conner's face. You can just see that he wants to jump any second.

I have a plot-bunny for this as well as one that I'm currently working on that's Tony DiNozzo and Dick Grayson.  It was sparked when I stumbled across the fact that one of Dick's old aliases was Freddie Dinardo.

That commission is awesome! I love their body poses too. :D

Isn't it gorgeous? Kit did a wonderful job with it and got everything just so perfect for the boys.

I love it! It looks great!

[webbgirl]

I know! Can't wait to see yours as she's working on it.

[plentyofwords]

Me Neither! It's a Christmas gift for my mom and step-dad. I am really excited about it.

[taylorgibbs]

WOW! That is just fantastic :):)

And I can't wait until Soul Deep finishes so that I can reread :)

[webbgirl]

She did a fantastic job.

I'm really loving Soul Deep. I have to say that this is one of those fics that I'd read even if it wasn't Tony/Gibbs. It's such a wonderful story and a great universe she's created.

I'm waiting for the final part of Soul Deep to be posted before I start reading :)

[webbgirl]

Not too much longer to wait. :) You're going to love it. It's a wonderful story all the way around.

Yay, commission!

But really I'm commenting to LOL over Dick's old alias. *grins* That's just a sign. You can't not write a crossover when that kind of odd coincidence is handed to you!

[webbgirl]

I'd already had something rattling around in my brain because of the similarities between the two characters, but this sort of sealed it. :) I just have to settle in my brain how that part works. :)

[crimsonquills]

No pressure intended, but does this mean that the NCIS/GL crossover is fading?

[webbgirl]

No. It's still there too. I think my brain feels slightly less pressure with this set up. I think because it's more of a mundane story where the guy Tony meets just happens to wear spandex at night and hang out with superpowered folks on occasion.

I think it may actually help get my head into writing the DCU a bit better.

Plus there are so many similarities with Dick and Tony that I can't not do it.

*nods* I totally hear this. Adventure type plots have this need to move forward in a coherent and measureable way, and it's easy to get stressed out by feeling behind.

I think it may actually help get my head into writing the DCU a bit better.

Makes sense to me! Plus having more than one project means you can work on one or the other depending on what you're in the mood for, instead of feeling you HAVE to write such-and-such, and then not writing at all because you aren't in the right mental place.

Plus there are so many similarities with Dick and Tony that I can't not do it.

Oh, it should definitely be done. *g* I ask only so that I may adjust my anticipations. :-D

Ooh, that commission is just *gorgeous*...

[webbgirl]

I know! She did such a wonderful job with it. I couldn't be happier.

[xanthe]

First off - thank you for the rec!

Secondly, I ADORE that artwork! It's beautiful! Silvertales really is incredibly talented :-)

[webbgirl]

You're more than welcome for the rec. It's such a wonderful story.

Silvertales does amazing work. I gave her a fairly vague idea of what I wanted and she did something that was just perfect.

ACK!

[silvertales]

Somehow managed to miss this post.... O.o

First off, I'm SO happy you like the commission! I had fun working on the boys, and it's been a very long time since I played in the comic book universe sandbox. It was fun working on something that is so dynamic, as comics lend themselves very well to saturated colors, extreme angles, and perspective.

Next, LOVE Xan's "Soul Deep," the universe she created for the boys is so rich and complete. She's got an amazing way of writing that never lets you go once you start. Nothing ever doesn't just *fit* if that makes sense.

Can't wait to see new journal pages, too! :)
