This community just recently hit 3000 watchers (!!!!!!!! HOW HAVE SO MANY OF YOU STUCK WITH ME FOR SO LONG THROUGH SEVERAL RIDICULOUS FANDOMS? ILU :( ♥♥♥) and I'm really in the holiday spirit right now, SO. I want to draw some holiday-themed art, but have no idea what to draw! :(

I want to try to draw 3 pieces, each from a different fandom hopefully, so what I'm looking for are prompts!

Help me out dear watchers, and leave me a fandom, pairing, and holiday-themed prompt!

This won't really be a first-come first-served thing, as I'm kind of just going to go with what inspires me. It can be as clean or as smutty as you want it to be. >:D I will try to get at least three drawings done by New Year's. *crosses fingers* flist, I'm not giving up on those prompts from several months ago, btw. I have those bookmarked for future inspiration. ♥

ETA: omg so many good prompts coming in. :x Going to sleep on it tonight and get cracking tomorrow! :D

When granddaughter, Jada, was born with leukemia, a donor-match was located and Jada made a miraculous recovery. In honor of her grandaughter's health, Jeanna has decided to walk across the country (in the dead of winter) to raise awareness and build support for the bone marrow registry (all that's required is a cheek swab). Follow Jeanna's remarkable journey as she travels the United States by foot.

I couldn't sleep so I decided to color some lineart I had never got around to posting on here. Strangest late-night urge...

Fandom: kpop (DBSK)
Pairing: Yunho/Junsu
Rating: PG

hosu! I drew this like a year ago but didn't post it because I hated it..? Now I can't remember exactly why I hated it so I'm posting it! :x

Fandom: kpop + ...star trek rps....crossover? IDK WHAT TO CALL THIS. Korean Hollywood stars fandom?
Pairing: John Cho/Bi Rain
Rating: R (slightly not worksafe for crotchgrab)

I would explain the meaning of this pairing, except that I don't think it would make much more sense with an explanation, so we'll just leave it as is. John Cho/Rain for longleggedgit! ♥♥ There is almost a tradition. :)

I guess the theme for today's art is um. Intense gazes? PS will get to replying to comments on the last post soon! TY guys! ♥


QUERY: does anyone know if there's an LJ community for general kpop fanart (as opposed to communities for fandom-specific fanworks)?

Forgot to post this! OMG guys, I have Harry Potter art! It's been a long time. :x



Title: As You Witch
Fandom: Harry Potter + Princess Bride
Pairing: Harry/Luna
Rating: G
Summary: The Dread Pirate Potter and Princess Buttergood take a walk through the Forbidden Fireswamp

This was drawn for savepureness for the radish_love exchange. I took the liberty of checking out her userinfo for any clues about things she might like to go along with her prompts, and lo and behold, I saw that she likes The Princess Bride! And so the idea to do a Westley!Harry/Buttercup!Luna drawing got lodged in my brain, and I couldn't get it to leave. :) Thank you to yamapea for all the handholding and the TITLE, and to shes_gone for being my sounding board on this. ♥

ETA: Time for my periodic please-read-the-community-rules-before-clicking-to-join-this-comm reminder! So um. Please do that! :x If I've rejected your membership it's not personal, it's just because I couldn't see an age stated in your userinfo or lj hasn't been giving me comment notifications. ANYWAY, welcome new members! So pleased to have you here!

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:
