It's about that time of year again. I'm not sure what people's thoughts are about a new round of the Trek Reversebang challenge, so before zippitgood and I launch into a huge production, here's a poll to gauge interest (the timeline will be similar):

Don't forget to read the story and follow trekreversebang for all of the other great art and fic!

trekreversebang posting will start on Wednesday (watch the comm!). Must finish my own art. I'm very excited, hopefully there won't be any more dropouts, though thankfully pinch-hitters are in place. *crossing fingers for everything going smoothly*

spn_j2_bigbang fics have been claimed. One gen, one femslash. Both sound really intriguing, I'm looking forward so much to reading them!

*goes nuts with all the work, but in kind of a good way*

Oscars:
Neil Patrick Harris was very sparkly in his sequined tux. Not quite sure what he was doing at the Oscars, but I guess Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin can't sing or dance... I adore NPH, but that was really not his best performance. Although I dare say still probably a bajillion times better than the rest of the show given the first two minutes of the hosts' banter that I could bear before I had to turn the TV off. The monologue and the red carpet pretty people were kind of all I was going to see, but I guess a glimpse of Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren will have to suffice (<-- so classy!). And even though I think the Oscars are bunk, I will still feel totally annoyed when movies I think should have won don't win :/

Trek reverse bang:
This shit is hard! zippitgood is kind of like a mistress of organization and productivity and all those things that I somehow did not consider was involved in running a challenge this complicated. Fear my foresight! That said, seeing all the great artwork is amazing.

My weekend:
I had a glockgal! I love hanging out with fangirls, and when they match my enthusiasm for delicious food, I appreciate them even more. Which is to say, come back again soooon!

80 things about you meme:
I started trying to answer the questions, but I managed to bore myself midway through it.

This post:
Does not have anything particularly important to say.

I am drawing a Uhura-Gaila BFF picture. I guess it could be Uhura/Gaila, but that, like most of my pictures, is probably better left up to the viewer. Although maybe instead of screwing around with random ideas, I should be working on the picture for my own challenge, but oh well :/ How's everyone else doing with their trekreversebang art?

This has been doing the rounds, but Jensen Ackles+Neil Patrick Harris=a level of geeky awesome that I could not but repost. Plus, Bruce Greenwood. The video for the making of Batman: Under the Red Hood (part 2) under the cut that has snippets of both Jensen and NPH doing their thing and getting some praise from the makers.

In random fandom flashback time, I suddenly remembered this fanvid someone had made with the premise that Illyria could be a spin-off show after Angel was over. I loved the music and the clip choices, and even though the picture quality is not very good and the featured characters maybe not totally complete, I still love it. I really liked Illyria and Wes.

Art Rec:
Highwayman by dauntdraws [G] (The PG-13 rating on the post is possibly for the fic that was written for the art, because the art itself seems to be G)
Black and white Sam and Dean on horseback! Hats! Really cool backgrounds!

So, remember way back when I talked about a reverse bigbang thing for trek where artists drew first, and authors wrote for the artwork? Well, trekreversebang is finally open for business!
