Well, folks:
As some of you know, I am trying my hand at fan fic for the first time! 
Usually I made little fan doodles of my outrageous fics in my head. Never even set a hand to writing fic until encouraged by supportive (that is to say of my het stories) slash writers, LOL! I was encouraged to come here to you at OSA...
This sample (don't worry, it's a het picture) was done when I was inspired by a story post on a (WARNING) slash site:
THIS LINK HAS BEEN REMOVED
Yes, (blush) I am a fan fic writing VIRGIN! Please be gentle with me... 
I am also writing a fic to be submitted really soon. Thank you for all who have encouraged me--and most importantly--not LAUGHED at me! (Yet...)
To Yavanie and Sindhote, my story is coming along well and thank you for being my (blush) betas!

Falling:
I works on my computer--I just tried it.
It is on a slash site, as I had mentioned, so if you have parental control the link may not work.
It is not a dirty picture, just a boy and girl embracing.
Please try again and give me thumbs up or thumbs down.

Hope this works. Thank you for trying.
BTW, I like the Pythonesque twists in your signature.

it's beautiful. I love how the detail is concentrated on their faces. the quote across the bottom lends the detail to the emotions on the faces. Very nice.

Yavanie:
(blushes) Thank you! I am not the best with likenesses but I try really hard! Believe me, I always envisioned Eowyn to be really tall, and Haldir a brunette. Damn those films for twisting my mind!
(Oh, well, maybe from the silver-haired people of Thingol...)
In my fic, Haldir is indeed from Doriath! (The land of the bestest marchward ever: Beleg!) My Haldir an old cuss, to be sure. A First Ager.  
And that, Yavanie, is the topic that you will BETA for me.
Are you still on for a read? Again, NC-17, borderline PWP with some archaic and pseudo-archaic Tolkienisms. Still with me? Send me a PM if not.
Otherwise, I am grateful for you to BETA.

Thank you! (blush) I am a clothing and costume freak, so this is just an excuse to draw pretty clothes and armour, too! 
Again, I started my fan art before starting to think about writing...I guess the tales were already in my head!

Nice art Euanna! 
The best artwork ever is on The Theban Band site, although most of it is SLASH. The one they did of Eomer (on the desktop one) is freaking awesome and it is not slash. 
I am doing a webpage with some of my fan fiction and I wanted to have original art work of the characters plus my "muses" for the OCs (found pictures on the intranet of basically the look I have in mind). So I emailed the Theban group to see if one of the artists I liked would be interested. No response. Not even a "No freakin way!". Maybe it was because I specified mine was not slash and didn't want the characters nude. (maybe semi nude but not completely nude!)
There is one site that Jes and I were looking at and she IM'd me freaking out. She was totally having a cow.  The top of the page with the art was non-slash. The bottom of the page (heaven help us when we scroll down!!) had slash. And I am not talking artsy slash. SLASH in full form and had some of her favorite characters from Tolkien books other than LOTR plus some had been turned into vampires or whatever. She was so tramatized I thought I was going to have to IM her a valium. It was like in Friends when Phoebe saw Chandler and Monica going at it and started screaming "My eyes! My eyes!" 
I am sensing a theme here. Awesome LOTR artwork - SLASH sites. That's not good!
I trolled the webpages of fan art and finally found one I liked (amazingly it wasn't slash!). When I emailed her to see if she would be interested, she was excited about it since I offered to let her have a couple of pages from my site just for her work in addition to giving her credit on all of the artwork on my fan fictions pages. That way she can promote her work from my site and have her own web address for her work. Currently her work is only on other people's sites not by themselves on their own page so she was thrilled to have a couple of webpages all of her own.
Here are two of her drawings:

I do not have the best Eomer one (non-slash) in my photo bucket and the firewall here at work will not allow me to that site (go figure  )but here are a couple of the slash versions from Theban band. DO NOT LOOK IF YOU DO NOT LIKE SLASH although these are not too much slash. They aren't actually doing anything just about to do something

Euranna - maybe you should see if someone is interested in original art for their webpages. I would think that I am not the only one.

I couldn't get it to load at all. 
And I'm also looking for illustrators. I've emailed a few, but the response so far has been underwhelming. 
Oh, well. |
