Now I'm curious which fandom(s) you write for. I also write fanfics for a non MLP fandom and I've been bad at posting for my current story (life issues, computer pooping out) and just need to get back into it. I use the same username on FF.net as here...do you? (goes off to look)
If it's the same username I think I found you.
Maybe you could commission an art piece from someone on DeviantArt that goes along with your story. Depending on the artist, custom pieces can be very reasonably priced.
Yeah, I like to keep my username consistent across the web. I've been using systemcat or a very close variant adding in numbers to the name since 2000.
The amount of fandoms I've written for. Yes, I have written one My Little Pony story, but also:
. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
. Red Dwarf
. Doctor Who
. Star Trek
. Greatest Amercian Hero
. Inspector Gadget ... and after that fandoms blur together. That series I'm working on is an amalgam of a few former DiC Animation series including two PBS shows. (Gadget-Boy, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Carmen Sandiego, Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, The Littles ... (the rest are too minor to really note)).
Most of my work isn't on FF. net . You write for Gundam Wing? If I found the right account, that's a first on seeing a writer I know of from one place posting elsewhere. Wish I could read with understanding what you write but I haven't watched Gundam in ages. So long ago I'd be bad at knowing details for the fandom. (Toonami watcher way back in the day.)
I came back to this post to give a couple updates. The end of the story currently being worked on finally has it's end in sight. I only have five pages left of it.
Pokeyonekenobie, your idea is close to what has happened. It wasn't DeviantArt where I got a commission from but a FaceBook fan group for Star Trek. I told people I was up for commission and presented one example of what I can do. A lady hired me to do a digital painting of her cat Sasha as Captain Janeway. She approved of the art and supposedly I'm getting paid tomorrow. $200 if as promised
.
Going to be celebrating by:
. Getting that Greek meal.
. Getting a season pass to Moody Gardens and spending a day there to break in the pass.
. Going to Try and make a frosted fruit cake. ... I'm not a good cook. I try. This will be yellow cake mix with the needed extra ingredients with candied fruit, and sugar free frosting.
Would people like to see the art that earned me my reward for years of work?
