Looking for a New Administrator

Dear Community,

Unfortunately, my commitments have been taking up more and more of my time. Would anyone be willing to step-up as the new administrator of this community?

I'd like to pass on the community to someone who will be able to step in as the administrator on a more regular basis than my commitments will allow.

Thank you!

art: Charity Art Auction Piece [The Authority]

Title: "The Authority" Charity Art Auction Piece
Artist: Vejiicakes
Rating: G
Characters : Jenny Sparks, Apollo, Midnighter, The Engineer, Swift, Jack Hawksmoor, The Doctor
Description: It’s been ages since I’ve revisited The Authority! I participated in a Charity Art Auction, in which 100+ alumni produced art of their favorite superheroes to bid on. Apollo and Midnighter remain my main guys, but it seemed like a raw deal to stop there so I did the whole classic team: Jenny Sparks, Apollo, Midnighter, The Engineer, Swift, Jack Hawksmoor, and The Doctor will always hold a special place in my heart :)

Beta request

Hi. I'm looking for a beta for an Apollo/Midnighter PWP. Apollo's in someone else's body at the time and consent's a little dubious all around, but I wouldn't specifically call it dub-con. It's not the usual fare but I can't claim it has any redeeming features.

Fanart Rec! The Engineer

This week's rec is a little more cheesecake pin-up (although certainly nothing by normal comic book art-standards) than I'd normally rec, but it has great lines and a really awesome gun.

Fanart Rec! Sometimes you just want to blow something up....

Today's fanart rec fits the theme of 'sometimes ridiculously over-powered people want to blow things up in a terrifying fashion'. It's a pretty great theme, I think. :D

Fanart Rec! Midnighter and Apollo

Today's a set of Midnight and Apollo fanart recs that may fulfill your daily dose of normalcy and bad-ass action. First up, superhero action! Next up, hanging out as civilians.

I love the contrast between the two images, in terms of how we can see these characters.

Fancomic Rec!

Here's a cute little fancomic! Presenting one entirely logical explanation of the Midnighter's speeches, by whatistigerbalm:

Apologies for my recent absence, I hope to resume my (semi) regular posting schedule. :)

Fanart Rec! Jenny Quantum & Jenny Sparks

Two different Jennies, one cross-century smoking habit. :P

Today's set of recs also features some delicate line-work and a nice hand with the colors!

Fanart Rec! The Engineer & Apollo - Both of them agree that space is awesome

These two bits of fanart are some of my absolute favorites because they combine two great things: space + The Authority!

Apollo looks like a Greek god, and the Engineer looks like she is in the middle of being badass and amazing in SPACE. She looks like she's having a moment of absolute tranquility in the middle of conditions that could kill her, but that doesn't matter because she's too awesome to be bothered by things like lack of oxygen.

SERIOUSLY. SPACE IS COOL. THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE POINT OF THIS POST.

Enjoy! :D

Wednesday Fanart Rec! Swift & the Midnighter

I guess this week's theme is powerful people that fly and are awesome! I love the very geometric style on Swift, and how the artist appears to have captured a moment in time between the beat of her wings. For Apollo, I like how he seems peaceful, even though he's gathering up energy. Also, I really love vejita4ever's version of his usual outfit.

Wednesday Fanart Rec! Jenny Q & the Midnighter

Here's two bits of fanart that I like for their super-saturated color and film noir feel. I'm especially a fan of the lighting on Jenny in the glow from her energy. Gorgeous, gorgeous color-work.

Fanart Rec! Mornings on the Carrier (with Jenny Sparks, the Engineer and Midnighter)

Jenny and the Engineer shamelessly abuse the Carrier's door-powers in this very cute comic. The embed option's text isn't readable, but you can go to the original at DeviantArt in order to expand to see the full text. :)
