I Don't Feel Older and Yet...
17 years ago
The day after my birthday, and as usual I don't feel older but I'm acutely feeling all the things I haven't accomplished yet, and the things I've lost or let slip from my grasp. It's incredibly frustrating and depressing. Yet at the same time I have so much I'm looking forward to right now. I feel a bit emotionally unbalanced by it all. Meh. Well at least next year Chels will be here to celebrate with me, and maybe for once I'll have a mate in person who cares enough to do as much for my birthday as I do for them. I feel stupid caring about it at this age, but it matters in ways that have nothing to do with the birthday exactly, and everything to do with feeling important to the other person. See she makes me feel important, it's just that the distance makes it hard on us. So yeah, I came home to a big bouquet of flowers sitting outside my door, and it was wonderful. *melts*
Chels and I are planning to get married on April 26th of this year. omg! So happy! Drop by to see our story, sign our guest book, laugh at us, whatever, lol: http://www.freewebs.com/heatherandchelsey/
I'm openly taking commissions right now, all proceeds going to the wedding fund and toward getting our own place and our own bed. Well actually, our own mattress and foundation, since the one I'm using isn't mine. I do have a nifty canopy bed in storage, just... the frame. lol

With the advent of Phrixion Publishing, we are looking to do a bit of fundraising and promotion all in one. Those of you who have RPed with us know many of the characters involved in TCR--heck, some of your characters are or could be involved if you like! You're welcome to draw any unlicensed hottie you choose--just remember, this is a *male* strip club setting. ;)
The website is live now! Just visit phrixion-publishing.com to have a look around. Excuse the mess, we're still settling in! The list of characters is on the page marked 'Deadly Beauties,' and though I have yet to link them to their respective character pages, it at least provides a list of names to watch for. Most of our boys are already to be found in one or another of my galleries.
So here it is:
"ShooterBoi" is the name of our upcoming TCR bar recipes book, being published to help raise funds to help get the company launched! It will include risque-sounding recipes for drinks, desserts, and related goodies, perhaps some drinking games. Naturally, since TCR has such a handsome crew, this will be fully illustrated with black and white drawings inside and a colour cover.
What to do...
Entries should consist of a black and white drawing of a suitable character (name them if established/TCR fan art) somehow involved with drinks or bar-type recipes(ie, making a drink, consuming it, posing with a bottle... whatever). Art rating should be about 'R' at most (no graphic sex for this project). Please include a suitable recipe to accompany your entry--preferably with a sexy name. You know... 'Sex on the Beach' and 'Slippery Nipple,' etc. Feel free to have your art go along with the name somehow. 8.5x11" max, 4x5" min.
PM here or email contest[at]phrixion-publishing.com with the recipe and a link to the drawing.
Winners and Prizes
We will be choosing winners to be included in our bar recipe book, and these will be sent a copy of the published book and an additional merchandise prize, tba. Don't worry, we'll set you up with some nice swag! Grand prize gets the centerfold and potentially the colourized cover. We'll negotiate as appropriate. ;)
Multiple winners (hopefully 3-10), depending upon the number of suitable entries received--and yes, you can win more than once! Multiple prize winners will receive additional merchandise prizes.
Should your image be used in other venues by ourselves, you will also receive a copy of that publication as well. Before the question is asked: No, we do not intend to use the images for anything other than inclusion in ShooterBoi, and the promotion thereof. That means you might see it in our zine, but not on random merchandise you didn't authorize. K? This is a fundraising project for the love of yaoi, not a grab for free art to plunder at will. We're artists and writers too, and we want everyone to get ahead. If you're interested in working with us, drop me a line. Let's chat!
DEADLINE: February 28, 2008, 11:59pm EST
ShooterBoi will be available for pre-orders and at various conventions this summer, particularly in Toronto. Wholesale orders will be welcome. Prices TBA. Softcover edition only.
