Nanuk Manor of Art

Hello my dear friends!

Yes, I'm still alive, and I'm sorry for always disappearing for months at a time... Well, that's not why I'm posting. I had this weird idea today that in June I would do a Merry Month of Postcards (and not, that's not an official title, that's me being creative XD).

The basic idea is easy:

1 - Get out your pens and write postcards! I mean the real, snail mail things, the ones you can touch and that travel all over the world to find their destination. It doesn't matter if you buy postcards or use those funny/strange/pointless advertising cards, if you print a photo or just use those really old cards you never quite managed to throw away. The point it so write one and send it.

2 - Send one postcard for every day of the month of June. The beauty of a postcard is that it's a non-committal piece of paper that's just a nice wee 'I was thinking of you'. Easy. Cheap (well, not if you live in Australia XD). A nice and unexpected surprise. Makes people smile. Maybe there's this old friend you lost contact with? Or your grandma? Your parents? Brothers and sisters? A colleague? Online friends you can send a hello from halfway across the world (yes, some of you know what I mean XD)? A person who did something nice for you, like a neighbour or the nice lady at the local deli? Surprise them with a postcard, send it or throw it in their inbox. It's almost no effort for you, but it might make somebody else's day. Or hey, you can send 30 postcards to the same person, you best friend or partner or whoever you think deserves it. That's up to you ^__^

3 - Enjoy the pleasure of writing real postcards and get aways from the internet for a moment. Because snail mail has its charm (it may take a while to see it - quite literally sometimes XD) and there's just something special about letting the words just flow out of your mind into your hand and through the pen on the paper. And let's be honest, getting postcards that have travelled thousands of kilometres is kind of cool.

So, does anybody want to join me in the quest? There's no pressure behind this, it's just a funny idea and my strange way to share my love for postcards (note here that it's me writing them, not getting them most of the time ^^). And hey, if you only send three postcards in June, it's not really a problem either, the only thing that matters is that you did it and made somebody smile. And who knows, you might just get a card back next time they're on holidays XD

Now, let's start hunting for postcards! ^___^

Oh my gosh, I'm so fuming right now. I was just making use of the opportunity to have internet for an hour or two and checked the web for pictures of Rush from Stargate Universe, and guess what, one of those appearing on the google image search looked a lot like one of my manips, but altered. So I checked it out, and guess what, I found THREE of my manips on that person's page, all altered and my signature taken out! Oh, I've not had that in my entire time in fandom, but man, I'm ready to kill her.

But no, I'm a reasonable person, so I actually registered at that site, wrote a polite but very very clear message and asked her to take down my manips. Now I'll give her a few days to comply, and then I'll report her to the site AND I will make sure that all my fandoms, not only Stargate Universe, get warned about her. I'm reasonably sure that I'm not the only framed artist here. And since she provided her twitter, tumblr and facebook, I'm pretty sure I can raise hell if she doesn't take down my stolen and altered artwork.

Tell me, friends, am I overreacting here? I've been in the fandom world for over a decade and I never had that happen to me, but I'm so pissed right now... Please let me know if you think I'm overdoing it. I might not have a clear mind about this right now... I dare say I'm usually a nice person, but right now I feel very malicious...

Yours,

a very very angry Nanuk

Comment: 1) Did I mention that I love Mako? I think she's incredibly strong and badass, just in a very subtle way. She deserves more attention, so this is her point of view on Stacker/Herc and Chuck. I hope you enjoy it!

2) For bachaboska. You aksed for Mako finding a picture of Stacker and Herc - here's what I made of it. I really hope it satisfies your craving, my dear!

Comment: In come Newton and Hermann, because I couldn't resist them - Newt is so much fun to write, and there will be more for them in the future. I hope you like my take on them and I would LOVE to hear what you think. Live without comments is very sad for an author, so please feed me ^__^

This fic is for my dear MeganMoonlight who wanted to read Newt and Hermann in this series. Here we go, hon, I hope you're happy with it ^^

Comment: More epic-length porn plot from me - it seems that I can't keep it under 6.000 words... I sincerely hope you don't mind XD It also seems that I can't ever get my characters to get busy in a bed - it's the showers, the kwoon... Even *I* am curious where the next naughty scene will take place. Now, do you have any suggestion, anything you'd like to read? Like, in the Jaeger bay? The Conn-Pod (although I'm not sure how to pull that one off plot-wise...)? I'm open to freaky ideas XD This is your chance to read a scenario you may always have wanted ^_^

Summary: Herc decides that it's time to act. The Kwoon after midnight seems as good a place as any. Especially with that connection between him and Stacker singing in the air while they spar.

Comment: I really like Mako, and I think she deserves not to get kicked out just because Raleigh and Chuck are a perfect match. Her role isn't over yet. I love the connection she has with Raleigh (which I see as platonic, but very very deep) and I intend to keep it. I hope you enjoy and don't mind me spamming you with fics XD

Summary: Mako is sitting in the med bay with a broken collar bone and knows she can't participate in Operation Pitfall as a pilot. So she does the only logical thing and pushes Raleigh towards Chuck, because *they* still can pilot together.

If they get their act together.

Comment: We're getting close! For those of you who asked if I was taking our boys into the mature zone, I'll let you know that we're getting there soon ^___^ (btw, just to give you an idea, there are about 29.000 words in my collected files for this series, so there are more than 11.000 words still coming. And that doesn't include all the stuff I'm going to write within the next few days XD)

Let me know what you think? Make me a happy wee author? Get cookies? *holds out a plate with homemade chocolate chip cookies*
