Discovered in a Silent Night: Day 20

[franciskerst.livejournal.com]

First: acknowledgement: Here I used a beautiful drawing from a talented artist who, certainly, will recognize her work; I'll add her name as soon as I am reminded of it.

















All this page is romantically Bodie/Doyle. The next one will be a little less so; hmm...

Ooooh, I remember seeing some of these in the past!

The artist is - er, well, despite the fact that her full name is not hard to find, I am under the impression she asks for it to be abbreviated on the internet. I can send you more details if you would like to clarify with her herself exactly how to refer to her.

I know that picture very well - for a brief time, I was looking after the original on its way to someone else. Up close, it is absolutely beautiful.

I do like these covers. I would read 'On The Road Again' in a heartbeat!

If only some of these were actual books! *g* A very nice collection.

I should have asked for permission but, well, not knowing her name...It's supposed to be a compliment.

I tried to set a series of "episodes", with a beginning, a middle and an end. Actually I had other ones, which would have given a better segue but it would have been too long and I think I already have posted some of them.

Yes, me too I'd like to read them. But I'm sure all those titles could be somehow related to existing Pros stories

These are fun! Thanks, F.

As for the artist, her fan name is Hisstah. Although her given name is readily available on fanlore and other places. On fanlore, there are links to her website and AO3. So... Just letting you know.

The artist has a website under her actual name (http://www.lorrainebrevig.com/Miscellaneous_Fandoms.htm), so I don't think she's shy about using it online, or relating it to pictures of Bodie and Doyle, which are listed there under Miscellaneous Fandoms. And I do rather like that one, of course... *g* And more of those book covers that just make you think of stories - thank you! *g*

I'm not sure about that, given she has a website that features her fan art under that name (http://www.lorrainebrevig.com/Miscellaneous_Fandoms.htm)... *g*

Ah, thanks. That needed to be said. It's always a little embarrassing not to be able to, at least, acknowledge the talent of an artist whose work you have used without asking permission first.

By the way it's not easy to find a proper title, for the program I use allows only a (very) limited number of letters: you have to be very succinct!

If only we could pop into Smiths at the airport and pick a couple of these up to kill a boring flight somewhere, or curl up with them by a roaring fire on a wintery Sunday... *sigh* Thank you for your art. :)

Wow! yet more gorgeousness! :))

[moonlightmead.livejournal.com]

Well, better safe than sorry. I do remember her saying something about preferring to be referred to one way rather than another. I just couldn't remember the details. Glad that other people can!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Well, better safe than sorry.
Yup, that's what I've been saying about it all for years. Things change over time though - even HG and Rhiannon are online now - so I tend to check the current situation as far as possible.

Note, you are perfectly allowed to borrow the title, the pic and the idea, and add your inspiration!

By the way, there is very little art, except from the actors and the designers of the software: everything is in the program; I had just to find the captions.

[franciskerst.livejournal.com]

Thanks; it was fun.

[potztausend.livejournal.com]

It's a wonderful collection, and there are really very different stories to look for (if ever someone would write them). The first one is a new idea, and it looks so beautiful with the painting!

[franciskerst.livejournal.com]

The first image was made by the artist to illustrate a B/D slash story, I was told, but I don't know its title. I'd like to read it too.

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

The first image (I have the original thanks to moonlight mead as a courier) was made for my big bang story The Morning Gift which is available on my AO3 account (same name as for LJ). The artist is fabulous and the original picture is even better than the online version!!

[franciskerst.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the information. I'll certainly go and read it. I am sure the original must be fabulous.

[sw33n3y.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I can see all of these stories! I think my favs are Immortal Lovers and Duelists Thank you! :D

[franciskerst.livejournal.com]

Good titles, aren't they? If only one of us would get the right inspiration...
