Sketch: Sunshine Challenge, Prompt 1

[paulamcg]

Prompt 1: Red
Red is a strong color that is associated with a variety of things including: courage, power, glory, love, passion, inner strength, romance, sensuality, defiance, tenacity, violence, life, pleasure, fire, and revolution.

This challenge has made me do something outside my comfort zone. I've never before posted a picture on DW. (EDIT Or on AO3, where I've managed to get this a day later./EDIT)

And I've never shared (or made) a piece of fanart. This is just a sketch based on a scene I've been composing when rewriting an old fic about Remus Lupin in Paris in 1984. My Remus is an artist, and just yesterday I wrote about him painting with red, wearing this red jumper borrowed from a lover.

Oh, I mean both. :D It can be hard to get people to read them, but I've found that those who do usually like them a great deal more? At least, that was the reception I got for the two Vanitas no Carte fics I did that were around that length (Dealing with Monsters and When We Fall Asleep). I will definitely take a look; sounds interesting!

I love those titles you mention! It's a pity I don't know that canon you write for at all, and I suppose when reading a long oneshot, it can be more important to know the canon – than when reading a single intimate scene, I mean. Is there something suitable you'd like to self-rec for me to read?

I'll be thrilled if you have a look at that Remus-pov fic, perhaps also let me know what you think, even in case you don't have the time to read all of it. It's one of those I wrote last year when I wasn't in contact with anyone in the fandom.

It's my ongoing goal to get more people into Vanitas no Carte whenever possible. XD It's a great manga.

As for what I'd recommend of mine... Hmm, I'm actually not sure what our mutual fandoms are outside of HP! And the only thing I have uploaded that I wrote for that was when I was a teen, so not a very good representative of my current writing. I've written for several manga/anime, some video games... Some of the more popular titles would be The Untamed, Good Omens, and Voltron if you're into any of those series?

I'll definitely leave a review when I read; I try to be on top of that kind of thing. (^^)
