Updates


Hey all,

yes, I'm still alive. (People were starting to wonder.) I didn't even have anything bad happen to me, apart from a hundred and seventy classtests that needed marking between February and now. (Still not quite done with those.)

I haven't had much time for art recently. I did have a very nice experience working with gaming magazine Mephisto, who are publishing a new edition of "Himmel über Aachen", an adventure for "Engel" ("Angels"), for which I did two illustrations I'm not allowed to show yet. Look forward to them later this year. :) Or buy the book. Or catch me on 18 April on the ROle-Playing Convention in Cologne at the Mephisto booth. (OMG, how long I've been waiting to say that! ;))

The entire clubs thing is doing strange things - I *keep* getting requests for my "You never expect the Hogwarts inquisition" to go into "DracoXGinny" clubs. I don't get how this ship could ever even arise (apart from Draco being male and Ginny being female, which, knowing fandoms, seems rather a factor against that particular ship...) and it's beginning to tick me off. Why does every fanon always have to be about sex/romance (which is completely ludicrous in canon)? Argh.

Talking about fandoms, I'm still on Heroes, which you can see from my latest submission. I know Heroes fans are getting fewer and fewer, but if you're into this stuff, you'd make me one happy bunny if you'd venture over to my fanfiction account and leave me a comment or two there. :^^: [link]

I've become completely wrapped up in my fics about paramedics. The profession totally fascinates me, and I've been reading a lot of blogs and accounts by paramedics. Did you know that "Staying alive" is a good way to get into the right rhythm when you do CPR? Similarly helpful is "Another one bites the dust." Be careful not to sing this one in front of the relatives though, warns Peter Canning, Connecticut paramedic and author of several books on the matter...

It's the Easter holidays, so I hope I can also FINALLY get to the 1,111,111 kiriban for *DameOdessa - I haven't forgotten!!

Ich war bisher auch nur einmal auf der RP-Con und da war sie in Münster und hat nur die Hälfte Eintritt gekostet… Scheint ganz schön gewachsen zu sein *grins*.

Und in Köln war ich auch noch nicht so oft in meinem Leben. Ich hoffe, auf der Internetseite gibt es eine Wegbeschreibung, denn ich werde 100% mit dem Zug eintrudeln. Fragt sich nur, ob ich mich da trauen werde, im Kostüm Zug zu fahren… Zwei Stunden lang die dämlichen Blicke der anderen Fahrgäste auf sich ziehen *grins*.

Und die Messehalle soll ziemlich groß sein…

Die Messe ist in Deutz, soviel weiß ich, und da halten auch die Regionalzüge. Da bist du schnell da. :)

Ich habe jahrelang in Köln gewohnt, in so Momenten wie grade sehne ich mich wieder dahin zurück - was man da alles MACHEN kann...

Das klingt prima. Zumal nicht alle unsere Leute ein NRW-Ticket haben und dementsprechend für die 5 Minuten um Kölner-Gebiet betreten zu können Zusatztickets lösen müssen…

Aber so ein großes Messegelände dürfte ja auch nicht zu übersehen sein – sonst wie beim letzten Konzert machen: folge einfach den Menschen in den schwarzen Klamotten (jetzt: denen mit den Latex-Schwertern). Die wollen garantiert dahin, wo du hin willst.

Hooray! I was getting worried about you. I've been checking your page every day, does that qualify as stalking? If so, it's friendly stalking.
I did know about "Staying Alive" being a good song for doing CPR, we read something about it in one of my classes, I was the only one who actually knew the song. I think we managed to waste the rest of the class singing along to it on YouTube.

Apparently, it's got exactly the right rhythm. There have to be more, of course, but those two are probably the funniest...

I am glad you're still alive. I was thinking you'd just gotten super busy with teaching and being a mom and all those silly things. XD but your art has been missed! fingers crossed that there'll be more soon?
