Wanna Get Ficced?

Title: 5 Moments in the Life of Two Dicks
Author: Perpetual Motion
Fandom: Green Lantern Corps
Pairing: Kyle/M, Guy/Kyle
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Title says it all. Consider it a sequel to Just Two Dicks.

Dis: Lies and bullshit.

Author's Notes: For lasergirl, per her holiday ficlet request. It got kinda long for a ficlet, but I doubt you care, hon. And beautifully betaed by dytabytes, who figured out I can't spell anyone's name right on the first try.

( Cops! Robbers! Blows to the head! )

The dress is finished and looks pretty damned fabulous, if I do say so myself. There's some weird bunching in the ass area because I did my increases sort-of wrong, but it's not super noticeable, and it's not like I don't smooth my skirts all the time anyway.

I will be wearing my boots from two years ago, because it helps pick up the '60s vibe I'm trying to go for. If I can manage it, my hair will be sort of '60s pinned, with the poofy bit up top and really close in sides.

I will be wearing my Guy Gardner necklace to complete the ensemble. Because when one dresses as one's imaginary boyfriend, it's only polite.

I'm about to sit down and try to bust out a pair of fingerless gloves before bed. They're not '60s specific, but I couldn't find any actual gloves I liked, so I'm gonna make my own. They will be white, of course.

I can't find my GL ring that fits beautifully and was carted back from a con by my former comic guy, so I ended up buying a little GL trick-or-treating kit to get a ring that would fit. The ring is cheap as shit (as was the packaging, the first one I picked up just sort of disintegrated on me), but it lights up, so that's pretty awesome. Sadly, it has that awful movie design with the black band running down the sides. Why it could not have been a darker green, I do not know.

Also, if I have enough time (this is a strong maybe), I will be making myself a little yellow bag to complete the ensemble. Because that's how I roll, poozers.

And my hair is now red.

If you don't know, I'm going as Gal Gardner for Halloween. Not the Gal Gardner from this cover (and, yes, that is gender-swapped Guy in canon), but a '60s inspired Gal Gardner. Allow me to run you through the basics.

First, I am crocheting a dress in this basic shape (you have to click the thumbnail to make it bigger). I'm crocheting it because I can't sew for shit and can crochet quickly as needed. Right now, I'm nearly to the high waist, and once I've got that done, the rest of the bust will come pretty quickly. I'm gonna make a series of GL symbols to run down the front of the skirt similar to the way Joan's skirt is here. Mine would start slightly farther down, but it'd be a clean line of symbols from wherever I start it down to the hem.

But now we're at accessories. I have a pair of heels that will work with the whole look if I can wear heels at Halloween (may be in a knee brace--nothing serious, just annoying as fuck), and I have flats I can sub in if I need too, but now I am DETERMINED to style the rest of the look. I need little white gloves (wrist-length), and I desperately want a mustard yellow clutch to carry because it will a) be hilarious to people who know Lantern history and b) allow me to haul around my ID and shit. Amazon has this, but I'm certain I can find something sleeker and cheaper. I know there was one I coveted but put back at an overstock store, so I may hit it again to see if it's still there.

This is why I don't design my own costumes, people. I get a little nuts about them.

I reviewed the new JLI awhile back and am too damned lazy to look for the entry to link you properly. All you have to know is that I liked it. Now, let's stop wondering why I can't be bothered to link and look at some pictures.

Title: Adding on Family
Author: Perpetual Motion
Fandom: DC Comics (Green Lantern Corps/Blue Beetle 2.0)
Pairing: Guy Gardner/Jaime Reyes
Rating: PG
Summary: Bianca is forever trying not to mother Guy, and then Jaime tells her they're together.

Dis: Lies and Bullshit.

Author's Notes: While this particular story is not dytabytes fault, the idea of Guy/Jaime is partially her fault. Because she helped me hash out the basic idea, and off my brain went. So, totally, kind of her fault. I am assure she does not care a whit. Also, self-betaed, so have a typo hunt!

( No, really, it really is Jaime/Guy. )
