Author's Notes 1: I signed up for a 10_themes table on Ron Weasley, in honour of my good friend melmoe1, who adores the Weasleys, especially Ron. I then asked if she would do up some cover art for the magazine theme I had of Wizard of the Month. She readily agreed (which, truth be told, I knew she would for Ron), and her love for this ginger wizard shines through in her art. Please take a few minutes to visit her LJ and leave some well-deserved comments for this outstanding cover.

Oh, and we're doing a different wizard each month ... February showcases Draco Malfoy.

Author's Notes 2: After completing the first article, I enlisted the assistance of my lovely friend winter_june to do some excellent background graphics, to really give it the feel of a magazine article. Many, many thanks to June, since now she's stuck doing ten for each wizard we showcase this year. *hugs*

Oh wow, this is so fantastic! It's a brilliant idea, the article was fabby, and the front page... the art was gorgeous, and I loved the little side boxes - a tour of the HD lovenest *laughs*

♥

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yay! So glad you enjoyed it.

The art ... guh! I don't swoon over Ron, but this pic? Especially the eyes! *swoons* Mel outdid herself, for sure.

The side boxes ... I know! Mel is quite amusing, you know. I had no input whatsoever on those.

And the article ... winter_june had no idea what she was getting into when she agreed, since this is just the first of ten articles for each month's wizard. She was awesome & fast doing the background graphics for me.

I'm really pleased with how it all turned out. Who knew collaboration could be this fun? ♥

*runs off to cross-post to 10_themes*

[melmoe1.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! The article is fabulous. I love it. Does winter_june know that you plan to do a dif wizard every month? *g*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah, she does. At first, I figured it would be background coding that I could insert the text as part of ... so she'd be doing one per month. Not too bad. BUT she actually layers the text as part of the picture, then sends it back to me. Eep! I didn't mean to get her roped into 10 articles each month for 12 months.

I'm really pleased with the results. Thanks so much, hon. You totally outdid yourself with this ... and then with the whole idea of doing another 11 wizards. ♥

[winter-june.livejournal.com]

OMG!! Absolutely gorgeous Ron! *drools*

Believe me, my part it's a piece of cake! *goes back to ogle in awe*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Isn't he ogle-worthy? *swoons*

Glad you consider your part easy. My guilt is assuaged a wee bit. ♥

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I know! Mel does such a fabulous job with him. Well, with all her art, but she has a special place in her heart for Ron. ♥

[winter-june.livejournal.com]

*picks up her drooling jaw from the desk* OMG Ron!

Send them as you want, love. The more complicated it's done. Editing the text is very easy

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I know ... isn't he?

Thanks, sweetie! Much appreciated. ♥

[accioscar.livejournal.com]

Wow! *stares at the art* Ickle Ronnikins is all grown up! *fans self*

I think this is a fantastic idea btw. I can't wait for Februaury...no March...no February...no March...
Oh hell! I can't wait for them all. *is going to enjoy the next 12 months*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! I had the idea for one set of Ron articles, and asked Mel (of course, since she's a huge Ron fan) if she would do the cover art. She readily agreed, and once she was done, she decided that she'd like to do different wizards, one for each month. So then I found myself agreeing to do 10 articles each month for each of the wizards of her choosing.

Heh ... then I roped in winter_june to do the background graphics, and voila!

Yeah ... I giggled at the H/D plug too when I got it from Mel. :D

Nine more articles to go for Ron, then I'll start on Draco (February). You should see the art for that! *swoons*

[accioscar.livejournal.com]

You should see the art for that! *swoons*
Oh god! I can't wait!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yay! Sweets and Lady will be so pleased. They do love their comms. ♥

Yeah ... she did one which was awesome. Now she's gone back and done another one instead. I don't know which I prefer yet ... just that both are drool-worthy. ♥ ♥

[daddybear716.livejournal.com]

Well now that I have some blood back in my brain I think I can comment on this. Mel did an outstanding job on the cover! It was so much better than I had expected, and knowing Mel and her love for Ron I had expected it to be great, but instead got amazing. Looking forward to see the rest of the Ron articles and what you do with the others as well.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Didn't I mention she outdid herself on this one? Yeah ... delicious! And those eyes? Guh! You could get lost in those!

I'll make sure I run the articles (in which Ron will actually have a voice) by Mel first, for her stamp of approval. *g*

[daddybear716.livejournal.com]

Honey she outdid outdoing herself on that one! FYI, I snagged the WW_Ron icon as well, just had to have it.

Naturally I am going to implore you to incorporate some Viktor/Ron in this (remember that keep him away from Harry ::grins::). Plus I would love to see Mel do some luscious Viktor/Ron artwork. I would love you both immensely for it and I'm not above bribing with the promise of hand-knits to get it. O:-)

[melmoe1.livejournal.com]

Vik is Oct. I couldn't leave him out.*g*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Well, each month showcases the wizard, but doesn't really delve greatly into the area of relationships, since they're all interview-based. We'll see if Viktor is mentioned with Ron. But definitely there's a Viktor month coming up as well.

[melmoe1.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on sesheta....he's going to give us knitties. KNITTIES!!! *g* Just a quick one off in the showers, a little fellatio in the back alley of some pub, a "take me hard and fast" bent over Ron's desk in the Auror office...

*squishes knitties*

Okay, maybe I'll just draw it for my 10_themes.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Awww ... but then only YOU get the knitties! *pouts*

*Ponders putting pen to paper for porn*

[melmoe1.livejournal.com]

You know, Ron's always had a "thing" for Vik. *waggles eyebrows*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Ahh ... so you'll share Ron with Vik, then? Presuming that's under the condition of they let you watch?

And yeah ... I suppose he always has, hasn't he?

[melmoe1.livejournal.com]

Ummm, yeah! I will watch, film, open the cap on the lube for them, and prob suggest a few things they could try. *g*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

No participation? You disappoint me, Mel. *g*

[melmoe1.livejournal.com]

I ment to tell you this earlier, but I forgot. Sometimes when I draw Ron I post at weasleyworship. If you wanted an additional place to post. Most communities dedicated to Ron are either incest/Draco/or Harry, but this one is just about loving the Weasleys.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. Just posted. ♥

[luvscharlie.livejournal.com]

Daddybear, Look what you have started? The reply comments have cracked me up tonight. It takes so little to make Mel's plot bunnies run wild, and Sesheta has no power against Mel once the plot bunnies are shared-- She just can't help herself. Now, I am painfully jabbing you with my elbow to see what you can encourage for "our (yes, I'm sharing w/ you-- don't gasp too loudly) Charlie"-- He's in July. Use your powers of persuasion over Mel!!!!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*snorts* I adore your icon!!! Heh.

I'm glad you enjoyed the comments here too. ;D

[frayach-nicuill.livejournal.com]

Omg, I love this!! What a great idea! And Ron! Guh. I've never guhhed over Ron before, but I'll be happy to keep doing so with art like this.

Can't wait to see Harry and Draco . . .

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks. Yeah, I guhhed over him too, thanks to Mel. I'm a Harry fangirl, but Draco will do in a pinch *g* but holy crap, Ron's hot in this! I've already seen the preview (actually two) of Draco and one of Harry, and yeah ... *swoons*

Heh. You should see her Neville! OMG, to die for!

[gurliemoviegeek.livejournal.com]

What a clever idea!
Wonderful!
The art is simply amazing - as melmoe1's always is - and the article was so amusing! Can't wait for the next installment.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. I liked the idea of the Wizard of the Month for the series, and then Mel took it to the next level with a different wizard each month for the year (eep)! *g*

I adore Mel's art ... especially her Ron. *swoons*

Glad you liked it.

[romaine24.livejournal.com]

Wow, the pic is awesome and the story is wonderful. This is a series I can tell shouldn't be missed. It's good to see Ron appreciated so much.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. I knew Mel would be happy when I signed up to do a Ron table ... but now it's just taken on a life of its own. *g* Her art is to die for, isn't it?

[stuckinsea.livejournal.com]

Very good. You're right, the "paper" you have it on, really does make it feel as it's a real article. I thought it was well done, can't wait to see the next article. Nice work.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to writing the next one.

[lire-casander.livejournal.com]

Interesting beginning, dear! I can't wait to read the rest, and the next two Wizards of the Month!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. Mel loves her Ron, so I decided to do this table in honour of her. *squishes* And then she came up with the idea for a further eleven, so ... you know what I'm like when faced with a challenge. Onward and upward! Forge ahead! Let insanity rule! Er ... yeah. :)

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Ron Weasley's favourite things to ride?! *snickers madly*

Hahah, that article was priceless, I thought the journalist sounded a tad like a fangirl though. ;D

(I squealed a bit when I saw the part "Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy take Witch Weekly on a tour of their home" - yes, I know it's a magazine made by you, but it's still official news!! *is excited*)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee. I figured it leaves the reader wanting more. Heh.

Just a bit, hmm? *g* The other articles, once she calms her heart down a bit from unexpectedly seeing him so scantily-clad, will be less fangirlish.

Official news, indeed! That little headline was Mel's baby. She did an awesome job on the cover art, and the ones for Draco and Harry are also very drool-worthy. Mmmm.

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, I'm surprised the journalist was able to form coherent sentences after seeing him so scantily-clad, she must be quite talented. ;)

And oh, did melmoe1 make up that headline? I really am quite fond of it, I must dash off and let her know now. :D

(Don't tease now, I'm already excited about the Harry and Draco ones as it is. *g*)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suspect the first article will still have her a bit flustered, and trying to recover ... so you can likely expect questions that are more personal than asking about his job and so on. She'll save that until she's done.

Yeah ... I came up with the Wizard of the Month concept & suggested Witch Weekly as the mag, but everything else is Mel's doing. I write the articles, and she does the covers.

Speaking of teasing ... I just posted this flyer (http://sesheta-66.livejournal.com/161265.html), showing all the wizards for the year, with a bit of a blurb about each. Since every one of these requires a hard pasting onto a PhotoShop background, winter_june has signed up for more than she bargained for, I'm afraid. *g* That's 120 images for the year, plus this little flyer. Oh, and I asked her to do me up an icon. She's gonna be sick of me soon. ♥

[luvscharlie.livejournal.com]

This is by far my favorite thing going on LJ right now. Awesome entry into the WW series.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Aww ... thanks so much!
