Chall, Daydreaming...

kallowayI finished Plutone and decided that, before working on Exia and Starfall, I'd see what's in the shoeboxes and whatnot under my desk. The answer is more projects and a lot of stuff to sort, but I managed to clean up a bit for now. Even if everything is stacked nicer, that's a start. I don't remember what I was going to do with all this non-model paint... and I don't know what I should do with it if it's still good... (I feel like I should just start on murals in my garage or something?)
I have a kit on the way that's hopefully going to be part of a contest entry. I'm not expecting/hoping to win or anything, but I want to challenge myself. The contest also ends right around when

Experiencing Pride
"I think you'd look good in that," Bucky murmured in Steve's ear, discreetly calling attention to some of the leather crowd.
Steve snorted. "Not really my style, but maybe for a night," he answered, still taking in the whole pageant of queer life on display, eyes roving over the ones that were shyly experiencing it, and those openly embracing it.
"D'you read the history?"
"Hell of a thing," Steve agreed with that respectful tone. "Still a long way to go," he added as he spotted the trouble spoiling for a fight. Bucky looked, and the pair made their way over.

category: 1940s Jazz Club AU
rating: Explicit
word count: 46,000
warnings: None
author’s note: This story was initially inspired by two photographs. The first is a promotional image that was published in Elle Quebec for Roy Dupuis' 2004 movie Jack Paradise in which he plays a jazz pianist in Montreal. He looked absolutely amazing with his white dinner jacket, half smoked cigarette and just the right amount of stubble on his face. The second were two promotional images of Peta Wilson as Nikita that were shot for the series' first season. She was wearing a fur stole and her hair was in some Veronica Lake style waves. Those images alone screamed for a 1940s AU of some sort. The plot point concerning Nikita and Operations was inspired by a wonderful story called "Mutual Respect" by Enjoue and Jean in which they both have to feign an emotional attachment to buy them some time with their kidnappers. I had this story in my drafts folder for some time now and when the 14th round of the
smallfandombang came around, I knew it was time to finally complete it. The artwork for the story was done by pebbleinalake, who graciously chose my story in the bang despite not being familiar with the fandom. I am in total awe of what she put together. The film noir vibes are exactly what I wanted and I can't help but stare at her banners in giddy excitement.story began: October 2023
story finished: April 2025
links: LJ | AO3 | Tumblr
summary: Dressed in fine furs and jewels, long blonde waves frame her exquisite face. Big, blue feline eyes add further depth to her mysterious beauty. She looks expensive and completely unattainable. Her name is Nikita and she is the crown jewel at the center of Section’s plush jewelry box.

Sunday, June 8th, 2025 06:59 amkallowayIf you want free "romantasy, PNR, and monster romance" stories arriving daily in July, FaRoFeb's FaRoCation is happening again. As always, there will be quantity. (I usually end up liking one or two of them, and it's free. *shrugemoji*)
A couple of weeks back, I asked at the bank about check registers since my previous check orders hadn't come with them and I'd finally finished my last one (dated 2020 on the back - it has still been 2020 all this time!) and was out. Turns out the check printers stopped sending them and they thought check orders still got them. I ended up ordering a 20-pack off Amazon which will possibly last for the rest of my life. (However, I'd just assume share the wealth and if you need one, lmk. They're a bit on the 'for ants' side which doesn't bother me but might be a dealbreaker for you.)
I also still have those Riverside TrekFest goodies if anyone wants them.
The date for the first Gundam Mobile Base Pop-Up USA Tour stop was announced a couple of days ago, for Kentucky at the end of this month. A not-impossible drive, and I put in for the day off just in case. But a Michigan date has been announced for September so I'll do that instead. It's much closer but I'm not sure the drive is any better. (ha!)
Worked on gutters (not mine) yesterday, and went to an estate sale to look at tools. Ended up getting some fine, fine wrenches and other stuff. Well over $100 in stuff for $10; I almost felt a little guilty. (Almost.)
I officially got the airbrush out of its box and tried it! One hurdle, um, hurdled! It will take a few sessions to figure out exactly what I need as far as a set-up goes, but I will definitely need to liberate one of the extra chairs recently unearthed in the barn.
