Artist | Hobbyist | Varied
United States
I am a 2010 graduate of Penn State Mont Alto with a B.A. in English. I have been reading and writing stories and poetry my entire life, but I've only recently made serious progress towards completing a novel. My novels are almost always fantasy, but my poetry can range along many topics, though most are written to be quiet, sad, or introspective. Alas, I am an indifferent visual artist, so most of my drawings ans paintings are products of my art classes, not free time and inspiration.

Yes, I finally caved and joined the Collective....thanks to my obsession interest in Tom Hiddleston, who did a SPECTACULAR job as Loki in both Thor and The Avengers.  (Just in case you didn't notice the shiny new journal skin.  ^_^)  I have been so obsessed with The Avengers lately it's not even funny.  (Well, actually it is, but that's beside the point.)


So yes!  Twitter!  It's fun!  Come play Follow the Leader!  ^_^

*hug* No problem, m'dear! I hope you enjoy it! (The lack of ads is REALLY nice, perhaps my favorite feature. ^_^) How is the search for a publisher going?

The search for publisher has been replaced once more by search for employment. Why does real life have to come in the way of what you enjoy? *sigh* But I'll keep you posted should anything happen on the book front, I may end up just going to lulu and doing it myself. Thanks again for the gift :D

Oh my, good luck on your job search! (Alas, the fate of the artist is to always have life interrupt.) Take care and gook luck!

I have to say... Sometimes I hate the dA community.
I searched "Star Trek" (looking for a cool image to add to my "Things I Love" Facebook album), and on every page of results, there was -- frequently nude -- Kirk/Spock slash artwork.
That just should not happen.

*sigh* Alas, thanks to the internet, people's private fantasies become very, very public. You could turn on the mature filter, that way you won't have to worry about seeing those pictures. Unless they are just kissing or something. With clothes. Gah. Ick. CAN'T UNSEE!

Eh, it's not the nudity that bothers me.

It's the---well, there's not a standard term for it (as far as I know), but I call it "character distortion." It's when a fanboy/girl community becomes large enough, and produces enough media, that it actually distorts the character... creating a parallel version of the character that conforms to the community's fantasies.

One person writing one parallel version of a character wouldn't be a "character distortion." But, when the fan community gets large enough for its members to feed each other, they start to standardize the distorted traits (like physical features, sexual proclivities, romantic partners), keeping them fairly consistent. THAT'S when the fantasies go from being "private fantasies," as you called them, to being full-blown character distortions.

...And that's what I can't stand. All I can think when I see character distortion artwork for Star Trek is, "That's not Spock." And it bothers me -- on a deep, perverting-my-childhood level -- that I can't search for MY Spock (the real Spock) without seeing so much of the parallel, distorted one.
