I've been posting a lot of fanarts on Tumblr, but I haven't shared them here yet. So here are a few of them. Hope you like!










And here's one from -- well, not "from", but hypothetically happened -- in TaT

seeing them again here. More than ever I love the drawings that really articulate how each character relates to another. I LOVE the last one. You know, when it comes to literal scenes, we read very little descriptive detail of Irene's heart shattering vulnerability and yet we all know it and feel it to be true in between the lines. The ultimate fan fiction prompt.

Oh my god. I know I also stay up all night making angst-y stories about Irene in my head and I have yet to really write any of them down or bring any of them full circle because my god their unique tone and diction are so so so high level difficult to emulate accurately and I really find it important that the tone of the fan fic not be ridiculous and fluffy and it's almost like nails grating on chalk board to read a fan fic and have that misalignment and it's really intimidating to think about! and I have SO much admiration for those that can duplicate the tonal subtleties of MWT.

I feel like there are RARE exceptions to this personal rule of mine... like this fanfic, Dance Me To Your Beauty (https://archiveofourown.org/works/8883880) is one of my all time favorites (although I have many favorites)... even though it differs tonally. (It's distinctively light and joyful between the Gen, Irene and Costis and yet for most of the narrative, the lightness really, really works until I feel it starts to unravel a bit toward the very end and I don't like reading the end part as much as I like reading the beginning and middle parts as a result.

Anyway just some thoughts. I love being able to see your work. I'm available any time to just talk about the characters in the most indepth way possible, discuss the plot whatever. I can't believe how different my life has been in the past 4-5 months because of the Queen's Thief.

I saw these on Tumblr and am so glad you posted them here, too. I love the panels in the first one, and the story they tell. No words are necessary--the artwork tells it all. And the second one--I could tell immediately what it was about. Touching and lovely.

wait the second one..... wHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Gah... I thought it was a more general depiction of Eugenides comforting Irene... its about the miscarriage?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like........ you know.... I haven't DARED even try to put this into words yet but I can feel the tidal wave, the tsunami of creation and inspiration brewing amidst the earth's fanfiction writers about Irene's miscarriage..... there's one fanfic I have read that's a light and happy story about preparing for the birth ........ that's very good but ..... &%^YTSDKJGJFKDSHKLFDSHKJLDFHKH(*^*&FS^&.... alright my ability to articulate has run its course.....

You Forgot His Scar?!? You Forgot His Scar?!?
[yeah, okay, I missed it too ... but I think YOU probably need to be sleeping with a knife under your pillow in case of a visit from one or other Eugenides ;P ]
Are you going to do fanart for the Hamiathes Gift exchange?
