I've been making shirts, ever since i realized that i wasn't going to stop wanting them, and they weren't getting any cheaper. cardboard stencils cut out w/ an exacto knife, then fabric paint onto shirt. not too hard, but quite time-consuming (the making of the stencils that is)

Do you have piccies of any of these shirts? I'd love to see!

Oh and Embers, that sounds like such a fun and original project! I wants me a squidgy Serenity!

I'm also planning another project. My Serenity model is winging it's way to me as we speak:

I plan on making a mold of it and casting it in clear resin (looks like crystal). I might make one in mock bronze as well. Plus I can make Serenity candles with the mold! Shiny!

I'm working two jobs at the moment - teaching english as a foreign language to a bunch of hyper italians in the morning, and computers in the evenings, so all my creative projects have ground to a halt!

I wrote a Jayne version of "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" (I am the Very Model of a Modern Minor Criminal) and hope to write other silly songs like that at some point. I'd also like to write a post-Serenity comic which the talented people here would be welcome to draw, but I have no idea ~how~ to write comics, so that's something I'm checking out. I mean, with screenplay I have an idea how it's structured, but comic scripts? Not a clue! Any advice from those in the know?

On the handicraft side, I'm knitting a cuddly Spike (the Buffy character) as a birthday gift for a friend. And Geekmafia is soooo going to tease me like crazy when he finds out. This is the part where I mention that I'm woeful at any arts and crafts stuff. I'm determained to give it a go, though.

Oh yeah, I'm making my first trembling forays into the world of animated gifs.

Comics you can write out in almost a script form, but with a description for background...

Example; Panel 1 Exterior shot of a small church, on what is clearly a frontier planet. Keep it dusty, a little rustic. Mix of transport out front, horses and jetcars (like Burgess' only not as smart) Speech bubble over, text as follows "And so I say to you..."

Panel 2 Interior shot of same church, viewpoint is speaker, unseen except for edge of hand in shot (this is Book, so colour appropriately) Folk are in their Sunday best - think 19th c frontier. Text "Our lives, from..."

That sort of thing. You need an artist you can trust with the vision. Alan Moore does great comic scripts, with a lot of bizarre asides. You want something really rich and complex, too, check out Neil Gaiman.

All my creativity is tied up in the Serenity Crossover Story project.

(Could really use help gettin the word out, gang!)

My artistic talent is near zero, but I was inspired by the new faux Serenity sequel trailer that was posted today and am now eager to try my hand at some video editing.

Check out the Serenity Summer Fanfiction project SlideShow!

That was priceless! A sort of spoof comic book if you will! But with a great message to get people to write funny, funny fluff!

The idea of a Jayne/ Arogorn slash is just insane! And yet...

I'm currently working on trying to finish my From Under The Cork Tree fanfic challenge. I have 'Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner' and 'Sugar, We're Going Down' left to write. And I'm trying to write a short ficlet that's a Firefly/Sin City crossover for the crossover challenge.

I've also got a River fanmix to finish. I'm actually done with compiling the songs, but I have to do the cover art(or ask my friend Edge to do it like she did for my last fanmix)

I'm hard at work on a fanfic. It's my first one of any kind, and I really like the story idea. Without giving it away, one character in one FF episode has a throwaway bit that suggests this entire story. Don't want to say more than that, because I love to write and I'm pretty good at it, so I'm going to spend as much time as necessary to make this a very high-quality piece, and I don't want anyone hijacking the idea and pumping out some quickie thing that doesn't do it justice. (Of course, it may have been done before, but there are just too many fanfics in too many places for me to know for sure. However, I did do some searching and couldn't locate anything that seemed similar - or even close - so I don't think it's been done.)

So far I've written about 20 pages of ideas, research, outlines, and story bits that add up to about one page of actual story, and that amounting to about half of what would be the teaser (the bit before the opening credits) of an episode of the show. BTW, I'm also simultaneously writing it as a script, though that's just a tool to make the story better (by reducing things to essentials it helps keep the work focused).
