| A Halloween Treat by Valadilenne |
[Oct. 28th, 2009|12:56 pm] |
Tis that time of year again, folks! 'Val' (as I tend to call her) is, as most of you know, my backup writer for WCMI. She wrote a special holiday-themed drabble for us and I simply had to post it here. Too cute! Also, let it be known far and wide than November 1st is her birthday, the poor thing! Imagine having to suffer through such a day! But don't mope too much, Val...your unbirthday will be back the very next day. ;)
On a side note we are finishing up the new segments and should be updating WCMI (FINALLY) within a week or so...and no, you won't have to wait a year for another segment. ;p You won't even wait a month if everything continues to go as smoothly as it is.

| | devious | ] | I know you exist, a buncha you out there said Alice and Peter would be cute together during the Spring Dance sequence! Of course nothing could come between Alice and Reginald (or so he would like to think), but things may be a bit different at the park. And I have a photo to share. ^^

| Fanfic Author Spotlight: Valadilenne |

There is a lot of WCMI fanfic floating around the 'net. We feel flattered by each and every one regardless of the author's skill level (the same goes for fan art, of course) and try to read all of them as time allows.
Like any fanfic genre you occasionally come across a story that transcends all others and seems to rearrange the concept of fanfic all on it's own. Now Bri and I have seen many a fine WCMI-based story but until recently we'd never had a moment when we just satt back after reading something and thought '.....wow.'
Valadilenne gave us that moment not too long ago. Her story 'Sunny Disposish' completely humbled me and made me wonder if WCMI has had the wrong writer all along. This girl could easily publish and I don't say that lightly, folks. Her writing is lush, intensely imaginative and so very, very victorian in feel. I can't fully express how much I love her story-telling style; I could roll in her writing like a happy child in a big pile of autumn leaves. Her Hatter and Alice have shining personalities all their own and she by far - by FAR - outwrites me on every level. So I hereby request that every last one of you pay a visit to her Deviantart page, read her ongoing story and heap some well deserved praise on her. OR ELSE THE POCKET SQUIRREL WILL COME GET YOU.

| | hungry | ] | Hey folks, following up on Rain's last entry, no WCMI is not dead. It is however on hiatus. I've spent the whole summer moving from place to place and I've been applying with animation studios so things have been kinda stressful. Y'know, the whole job hunting ordeal. So once I get through this and find a nice place to settle once I find a decent job, I'll come back to the comic. =)
In the meantime, I have an awesome video to share.
"Don't Cry Out" was made by rhetoricalsquirrel, and is one of the most impressive WCMI fanvideos I've seen. Send her some love and compliments, because it's just that cool. |

| WCMI - Trial and Error (Part 1) |
[May. 19th, 2008|11:49 pm] |
Author's Note: I'm posting for Rain!
WCMI: The 'Trading Spaces' Edition!
Okay, so it's not really a makeover. Brianna and I would like to introduce you all to a faaaaabulous young woman known as Lily-fox on Deviantart. Her DA fame has been on the rise for some time now and it's undeniably well-deserved fame. She drew our attention many months ago by posting some of the best WCMI fanart we've ever seen..and we've seen a lot, mind you. What makes her Reg/Alice art unique in our minds is how well she captures both their respective personalities and appearence. IMO nobody else has drawn a better Reg...well, next to Bri herself. ;p Have a looksee at the image below and just *try* to disagree with us. Oh, and do check out the rest of her gallery (and that goes double for any Labyrinth fans out there, heheh.)
Hatter25: comfort by *lily-fox on deviantART
For this segment we're turning the spotlight away from ourselves and gleefully blinding poor Lily with it. So without further ado we present WCMI's very first guest artist update! (...aaand the peasants rejoiced.) Where are you, Lily? Make yourself known and take a bow. =)

Author's Note: Can it be...another chapter?
Yes, it is! First off I want to apologize for the length of time between my work. And I also want to let you guys know that while we are not dead, sadly updates will be more scarce from now on. I'm in my last semester of the Academy of Art and graduation is just a few short months away, and I'll be done with school forever. Which means I must then focus on moving out, finding a job and work toward supporting myself.
Since real life is fast approaching, we will probably have a guest artist do comic strips later on (as Rain mentioned in the last post). But not to fear, it's still Rain's brilliant writing! I just need a little extra help every now and then to help ease the work load. EDIT: The guest artist is for the NEXT SEGMENT guys! This is still all my own artwork! Ok on to the comic.

| Writing Challenge! (And the winner is.....) |

Your mission is to write a drabble using the spring dance events as a springboard. It's simple enough...write an observation on Reg/Alice's behavior at the dance. The catch? You're writing from another character's POV! What would Jack Sparrow think while watching Reg send potential rivals running with just a look? What might Hades conclude after seeing Alice and Reg tearing up the dance floor? Or Snow White? Pick your poison. It doesn't have to be a character that's actually appeared in the comic so far - there are many in attendence and you're free to use any disney character that strikes your fancy.
Post your drabbles as comments right here and have fun with it! Remember to keep it between a G and PG-13 rating. We will accept entries for the next 5 days. After those 5 days have passed everyone will be invited to vote for their favorite by adding a suitable comment 'got my vote' to the drabble in question. (Voters must have an LJ to prevent ballot stuffing.)
The author with the most votes will be treated to an early sneak peek at a single spoileriffic panel from the upcoming segment (the final dance scene.) The author will of course be expected to keep the contents of that panel to themselves. ;)
So..uh..yeah. Go on now, do your thing. :p
___________________________
The votes have been tallied and our winner is Kay147's Finding Nemo-inspired drabble! Contact us at PurpleSquirrel27@aol.com to see that sneak-peek panel we promised, Kay. :)

Author's Note! If anyone would like a translation of Reg and Lumiere's chit-chat, feel free to drop an email to Rain at PurpleSquirrel27@aol.com. And nobody post the translation in the comments! Don't wanna give it away to easily. ^^
EDIT: Ok it seems like the French is a little off. I'll speak with Rain and see if we can fix it. After all, SHE'S the writer I'm just the artist! XD |

This segment stems from an idea that slogged around in my mind a while back. The written scene in question would have showed Reginald getting ready for the dance at his home. It never happened, alas...until now! I spent a week stuck at home with a badly burned arm unable to do much more than sit at the computer or watch tv. Boredom put me in a writing mood and just for the hell of it I started drabbling out that pre-dance scene with Reg. (I suppose my pain meds might have have some influence, LOL) Lo and behold I actually finished it! This is without a doubt the silliest and most RANDOM written scene I've done involving Reg. Anyway Brianna decided to illustrate a scene and we figured hey, why not post it up?
So humor us if you will and step back in time to the hours before Reg arrives at Alice's house to escort her to the dance. Back...baaaaack in tiiiiime.......

| Spring Dance: Song Download (fixed) |

This song is a last-minute add to the WCMI soundtrack. The title is 'Hey Pachuco' by Royal Crown Review. Alice and Reg will be mauling the dance floor to this song in the next segment. It's a classic jazzy number that goes very nicely with fast-paced swing dancing. :) The song can be downloaded at the link below - please, if you have your own song-sharing program please use that to DL the song (so the yousendit DL isn't overclogged.)
We recommend that you listen to the song while enjoying the next segment. It adds a little extra sparkle to the mood of the segment. :p

| | lazy | ] | Hey y'all, just popping in to give an update. I'm just finishing with midterms and I'm going on my Spring Break (that means lotsa D*sneyland trips XD). I have more than half of the next segment drawn, and I'm just hoping to get it finished before the end of the month.
I'd also like to announce that takingtheblade started an Alice/Hatter community at alice_love and can be considered an affiliate to this LJ. Since only Rain and I post here, members are welcome to submit their own fanfic and fanart at alice_love. =D
Go spread the love. |
