SGA Big Bang!
SGA Big Bang is LIVE!
I just want to stay home and read all the stories! Sadly, I have to get my ass in gear and go to class. Woe! But it looks wonderful; there are 43 stories, including a handful of gen and a wide variety of pairings. Many thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gblvr and svmadelyn for making it happen one last time.
I was fortunate enough to do artwork for These Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End, bysiriaeve. I picked the story based on the description because I thought it sounded visually interesting, but you shoulda seen the grin on my face when I saw who I was writing for (we picked them without knowing). I adore siriaeve's lyrical prose and her luscious world-building, and I knew I was in for a treat. And how!
Summary: The planet of Posturr is on the brink of civil war and Ronon's team is missing. Amid chaos and betrayal, Ronon must work closely with Jennifer to find them, facing the ghosts of his past as he rethinks his present.
It's PG13, Ronon/Jennifer with a very minor side pairing of John/Rodney/Teyla. I highly recommend giving this story a chance even if these aren't your pairings; there's no graphic content at all and the world-building is awesome -- I can't remember the last time I read a "team captured by offworld hostiles" story that did such a wonderful job of making the society convincing and sympathetic, with a believable political situation and descriptions so vivid that you can practically feel the mud on your boots. Even the OCs are marvelous. And the story is told in a really wonderful Ronon POV that fleshes out his backstory marvelously.

Did you manage the last one, with the clouded woods and mountain, at first try? Terrific watercolor effect!

And thank you so much -- your watercolors are gorgeous, so that really makes me blush and bounce. :) Yeah, it's the first try, although I did a number of experimental pages of washes and splatters during the course of working on the whole project, trying to get a feel for it again. It's been a long time since I worked in watercolor and I think I need to do more of it, because I really enjoy it.

Did you paint with actual watercolors or with a graphics program on the computer? *is curious*
