Intro Post - Art Mod.

[anadapta0801.livejournal.com]

Well hi!
In the interest of keeping some art challenges going alongside all the ripper fic prompts and challenges that get posted here, lo, I have become art mod.
Basically nothing changes, except there should be a few more art recs up, and every now and again you should see some prompts asking nicely for you to draw something along a theme rather than write something along a theme. (Like the Calendar Project from a while back, essentially things like that, and in fact I'll be doing my level best to wrap that all up at some point.)
Also, if people have ideas for such a challenge - or a image they really want to see people have a try at - I'd love to hear it, so message me.

Cheers m'dears.

Rec: Flowers on Fire

[neveralarch]

Flowers on Fire

Pairing: Theta and Koschei
Length: 2,627
Summary: They burn, in the darkness and the light, circling round each other like binary stars just on the edge of nova. They both burn, but they do not burn the same. Theta, Koschei, and their successors.
Warnings: None.
Author on LJ (or Teaspoon, or Prydonian): etherati on Teaspoon
Why this must be read: Sometimes Theta and Koschei stories can get to feel very similar - it's the shared headcanon, or something. That's why I'm always excited to see a story that offers something new (even if it's an older fic, like this one). Flowers on Fire is funny at first, then becomes more solemn and layered as you go along. Combine all that with a startlingly beautiful use of language, and you've got an excellent fic.

Leave comments if you like the fic! Authors love comments, especially on older stories (or I do and I'm willing to generalize to everyone else).
