When I discovered ellygator's art on deviantart, I just knew I'd have to ask her about commissions. We came to an agreement, and this is the result.



I can't wait to receive the original. It'll be framed and decorate the wall above my desk so I can admire it to my heart's content and draw inspiration from it. Elly has some amazing art, go check it out.

Am so jealous right now!

loves you, Sonia :)

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Aw :)) It really does show the scene exactly as I imagined it. She is an amazing artist.

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

ooooooh... and doesn't Snape look jealous *smirk*

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

*grins* I'd say impatient. In the fic, he cuts in at the end of the first dance, LOL.

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

Well Lucius wants to dance with Draco anyway, hmmmph!

Beautiful work though, I went over there and commented I was most impressed.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

You know, you totally rule!

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

Well yes I do ;-) ... but of course now I want to read that fic, any link?

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

*blush* It's the one southernwitch69 kept saying my Lucius reminded her of you, and you can read it here: http://www.thepetulantpoetess.com/viewstory.php?sid=9571

I tried to register, which took a few tries, but they are not recognizing my password, and it's the one I always use.

I will try again later, sigh...

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

I just checked the log, and while it's saying you tried to log in, I checked the members and LuciusM is not amongst them, which most likely means you haven't registered on the site. ;)

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

hmmm, I went through the register bit, several times as I couldn't read the yellow on the capcha codes, until it read "new member". Not sure, should I try again?

Tried again and though I got the code right (even wrote it down to be sure) it said fail on the code, I have to give up, something is not right and I am just getting frustrated. Sorry, I really wanted to read that, but I can't even get through registration.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

I'm looking into it now. give me about five mins.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Okay, you now have a registration, and you should also have received an email (automatically generated by the site) with your temporary password. When you have it, log in, then change your pw to one of your liking. Happy reading. :)

Thanks, that was most frustrating, getting in, I wonder if it is Vista and their odd security tweaks, Vista is still new to me ... but I just read your story, and liked it lots, you are a fabulous storyteller who has done her homework.

I seldom have the time to read fics these days, but today is an easy downtime day, and I wanted to do something I seldom get the time to do, am most pleased.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

It might be Vista. I've read there are still quite a lot of problems with it. Thankfully, this old laptop still has XP on it, but I can't wait to get my macbook back.

Thank you for your kind words on my tale; they made me smile lots. :)

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

Thanks anyway, bloody vista ...

Yes, it's a keeper, I like how you write Lucius, and Severus too, very close to mine, but you write far better naughty stuff ;-) I write more sexual tension and angst, as I am just not good at the out and out sex.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

The naughty was pretty much a first. LOL I never thought I could write it. And some readers complained about the lack of explicity... I would love to be able to write sexual tension and angst. I guess it might be my next challenge. *sighs* There was a day I said I'd love to write a naughty scene.

Do you have your fics posted anywhere? I'd love to read them.

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

Well you did it well, I wouldn't have known it was your first.

I have nothing I feel is finished, but I want to use this winter to clean them up. Been suffering a huge writers block since life got so busy, but come winter and barring no crises, that may change, and you will be the first to know.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm looking forward to reading! If ever you need a beta, you know where to find me. :)

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

Will do!

[kittylefish.livejournal.com]

purty! and i'm sure it will be even better in person. :)

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

*nods* I think it will be, too. Although right now, I can't imagine there being a betterment of the electronic version! LOL

[dreamy-dragon73.livejournal.com]

Wow, that looks fabulous! I like all the details and the perfect pose of the two dancers. Snape looks as if he'd like to be there with them :D

Elly is a wonderful artist, and she draws a gorgeous Lucius.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

*beams* I agree with everything you say here! And I think I have to thank you for linking to Elly's DA page some time ago. :)

[dreamy-dragon73.livejournal.com]

In turn I've to thank you for introducing me to Gotan Project. After seeing them frequently as "ear tickle" on your lj, I went to investigate and it was well worth it! Up to then I was more familiar with more "conventional" approaches to Tango Argentino (Piazzolla etc), which I like as well. Still, Gotan Project came as quite a revelation.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

If you like Gotan Project, check out Tango Jointz. Only one album, but sooooo worth it. Lots of Piazzolla variations, too.

[dreamy-dragon73.livejournal.com]

Oh, I definitely have to give Tango Jointz a try then. Thanks for the tip <3

[countrymouse1.livejournal.com]

Ok, I feel really stupid asking this, but---

can you give me a link to the fic for which this picture is done?

I can tell I am TRULY missing out on something.

Sorry to be so out of it...

Thanks,
Countrymouse

No problem at all! It was for Travel, Conspiracy, and Men (http://www.thepetulantpoetess.com/viewstory.php?sid=9571), my entry to the last Potter Place Challenge. Hope you enjoy! :)

[alabastardragon.livejournal.com]

That is an excellent piece of artwork. Perseus was describing it to Me yesterday and also your story which He was reading while I was lying in bed so I thought I would come over here and say hi and ask if you would care to be friends as it seems we share common interests and mutual friends?

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Hi! *waves*

It looks even more beautiful in its original form, which I received today. :)

I've friended you. I would have done so much sooner, but in all my years of living on this planet, I still feel shy about approaching someone I'd like to get to know better. We do indeed seem to share quite a few interests. :)

[alabastardragon.livejournal.com]

I bet it looks wonderful on the wall! :-)

I look forward to getting to know you better too. Believe it or not I am actually shy in person when not acting in character.
