Fortress Of Good Fortune

I’d like to rec kittymayhem’s Spank Me series. These are deliciously hot ‘n’ sassy Clark/Bruce tales that are sure to delight. Spank Me, the first in the series, involves wet men and plenty of hot sex. ;) This was entered into my 2009 DCU Fic/Art Spring Rain Challenge and is a perfect fit! :)

The sequel, Cuffed Up, is one of the hottest erotic stories I’ve ever read! Sexy, kinky, and layered with Clark/Bruce love! Both stories also feature her artwork, which is really a visual treat!

Steamed Rain is the picture that inspired Spank Me, and is utterly Clarkalicious! :) It was also entered into the Spring Rain Challenge.

All Cuffed Up...And Nowhere To Go is a sizzling illo of Clark in cuffs! It's friends-locked now, but a smaller version can be seen embedded in Cuffed Up.

A wonderful writer AND artist! Isn't DC fandom lucky! :)

Okay, I can blab more about these Challenges on my own journal. :)

New Challenges

2009 Wonder Woman Love Fic/Art Bullets ‘N’ Bracelets!!! Challenge
Posting dates: May 8-December 31, 2009 at wonderwomanlove

I hope that people will really give this one a try. There are 46 prompts to claim (4 already claimed). Wondy needs love, damnit! She’s always the ignored one of the Trinity, alas. Not sure how to write her? Maybe this will help:

( Thumbnail sketch (with words) of Diana )

So you can write her in war and peace, in a mother/daughter scene, in romantic settings or charming politicians as her people’s chief diplomat, etc. Write her as part of the Trinity or with other characters. Femslash is always a plus! And the art can be truly beautiful for this beautiful woman. :)

2009 DCU Fic/Art Summer-By-The-Sea Challenge
Posting dates: May 7-September 7, 2009

This would be a perfect cross-over with the Cast Of Thousands!!! Challenge. Think of it: a beach cottage with various heroes sleeping on the couch, the floor, the bedrooms… ;) Anyway, summer is fast approaching! Got lobster? ;)

I need artistic fans! If you enjoy making banners, I could use your help at the BradyGirl_12 Banners Project. I've been lucky to get extremely talented volunteers so far, but there are still Challenges to claim!

Yes, the 2009 DCU Fic/Art Spring Rain Challenge is still going on, but gaudy_night has time now to create the banners for our long list of participants, so we decided to offer them early. :)

Anyone who enters for the first time (deadline: June 30, 2009) can alert her to make a banner by commenting on her post at the Master List Page. And that's where the banners for all the current participants can be picked up right now! So everyone who's had fun with spring rain, go on over now and get a pretty banner! :)

We've been having quite a bit of rain lately, the kind that's soft spring rain and wonderful to listen to drumming on the roof as you curl up with a good book or in front of the computer. ;)

The rain serves as a wonderful backdrop to this story of blossoming romance between Dick and Tim by merelyfic for the 2009 DCU Fic/Art Spring Rain Challenge.
