"Astarion with the Head of Cazador", a Caravaggio pastiche painting.

Did this earlier in the year. I never had a tumblr before so I'm sharing it now.

Geez, Mycroft. Though I guess your brother had it coming from all those times he pulled similar stunts on poor Watson.

Excuse the bad photograph but I complete forgot that I owned this pastiche (or, as I like to call it, glorified fanfic) so I’m starting to read it now.

I’m going to be perfectly honest, just the titles alone read like crackfics so naturally I’m very… intrigued.

*opens a sherlock holmes pastiche*

the pastiche: the death of my friend, sherlock holmes...

*closes the pastiche and locks it in the deepest darkest corner of my attic to rot for all eternity forever and ever*

A watercolor I made using heaaaavy inspiration from an Amano painting. It’s called ”Joker”, made for the Vampire Hunter series. I love some of Amano’s compositions. I just wish instead of the guys he painted on it, there would be Cecil everywhere. <3

"My Dearest Holmes" by Rohase Pierce (1988)

[cunning-pope]

4b, or not 4b, that is the question Whether 'tis nobler as a woman to suffer The claws and tangles of male attention, Or to sever ties from the fairytale promises, And by opposing, end them? To tolerate, to separate, No more; To say we separate. We end the heart-ache, and the thousand forms of death That misogyny engenders--- 'tis a consummation We're better off avoiding. To separate, to rest, To rest, perchance to dream --- ay, there's the rub For in that rest of separation, what dreams may come When we realize what visions, myths, and hopes Have been destroyed by men. There's the respect That makes calamity of "so long, men."

(Jk jk, we should totally separate from men by any means that we can. No marriage with men, no dating men, no childbearing, and no sex with men. 4B!)

The Norns of Verthandi in the Middle in what's pretty obviously my attempt at doing something like The Far Side.

You can read VitM on Tumblr and Sufficient Velocity

"Cleric Shadowheart in Prayer", a Caravaggio pastiche painting. This took me 48hrs...

Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein & Teri Garr as Inga (his bride-to-be) on the set of Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein (1974).

Followed you, anyone who is deeply dippy about Plum is my sort of mutual. Now you have me imagining a millennial Ukridge investing in bitcoin.

I'm pleasantly stunned by the amount of Wodehouse appreciation on this site! Sure, I'll write you some Ukridge

Happy Anniversary to me.

I was a librarian for fifteen years and I read nothing but Fanfiction and Sherlock Holmes Pastiches since 1000 days!

And 400 days since I started to turn my favourite stories into a book collection.

And do you know why? 

Because I know good literature when I see it.

And that is what fanfiction is.

Literature!

Made by authors who put heart and soul into the development of characters and relationships not for prestige or money but for passion and love.

Books, stories and art has many forms and all of them are worth celebrating.

If you like it enjoy it.

That's the whole idea of liking something.
