For awhile now I've been wanting to see art of Steph and Tim teaming up as Robins. I even considered commissioning it from a real artist. But a sale on markers at the new Hobby Lobby convinced me to get off my duff and try drawing it myself.

( Please tell me it doesn't completely suck? )

If you find yourself at the crossroads of insomnia and insanity, this is the place to channel those demons that keep you sleepless. Vivid pictures, poetry, ruminations, and confessions from the nether hours between dusk and dawn. Originally formed to celebrate the city at night, there's a strong urban theme.

green_future
Dedicated to promoting global sustainability, this community offers a forum for discussing current environmental news, research, and issues with tips on how to make positive, pro-active changes to reduce carbon impact. You'll also find information on how to get involved in eco-activism and learn about events near you (i.e., act local; think global). Offering a wealth of data on earth-friendly products and practices, you'll be inspired to don an organic bamboo cape and save the planet.

wtf_sexism
Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

A friend attempts, every year, to get me a couple of Robin based commissions as a Christmas present, and my 2009 presents just arrived, so I thought I'd share

First up is a delightful Hembeck re-do of a classic Irv Novick cover from 1968- Batman 209

Title: To Save a Brother
Rating: PG
Characters: Tim Drake, Dick Grayson, Roy Harper, Jason Todd, mentions of Kon-El, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth
Pairing: None
Continuity: Saving Robin verse, other parts here: http://scraplove.livejournal.com/12610.html
Summary: Dick finds out just how messed up his littlest brother is, and joins the effort to save him. Also, he gets punched.

Notes: Extra special thank-you to the kind person on batfic who corrected my false information that Dick went AWOL. Happily, I was wrong. This part explains why Dick wasn’t around in the first part and why Roy had to come in and save the day. He’s back to the awesome-big-brother version of himself that I usually write. But don’t worry, everyone who thought Dick should be physically injured in some way--I didn’t let him entirely off the hook. Enjoy!

It's the New Year and auld acquaintance is definitely NOT being forgot! No matter how much Timmy might wish it were!

renaissance2010
Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

With New Years in the offing, it's an ideal time to reflect on past accomplishments, make peace with disappointments, and refocus the lens on future goals. This community welcomes you to create a bucket list of 101 things you plan to accomplish in the next 1,001 days. Offering support, guidance, and inspiration, this is a great way to jumpstart those pesky resolutions.

It’s that night of the year again, so for newcomers I’m posting a link to a short story about Dick and Tim that I wrote in 2008.

( On the night before Christmas, across all Blüdhaven, not a siren was wailing, not a babe needed saving... )

Happy holidays to all!
