Altariel and Isabeau: Updates

Isabeau and Altariel's website has been updated with a couple of new fics, and artwork for an old piece.

Visions by Isabeau of Greenlea

In the days before he leaves for Imladris, Boromir has a disturbing dream, and a talk with a certain young Ranger from Anorien. Another story emerging from the story arc Best-Loved Son, written by Isabeau, Altariel, and Dwimordene. (Scroll down the page for Visions and the other stories in this arc.)


The Way Things Should Have Gone by Isabeau of Greenlea

A Hethlin vignette. The title pretty much says it all!


The King is Dead by Altariel

Denethor teaches a young Faramir the game of chess. Now illustrated, artwork by Kasiopea.

What a nice illustration for your story! Kasiopea is a wonderful artist; having her illustrate your story is quite a compliment.

I have to say I really like your and Isabeau's website, and I'm particularly glad that all the fics from the "Stargazers" Challenge found such a nice home there. It's too bad that that couldn't have been made a retrospective HASA Challenge, given the number of authors who wrote stories for it, and the overall quality of the resulting work.

Have you put the website URL in the HASA Member Site section of the URL Library? It certainly fits there, and since that category is visible from the Public side of the archive, it might generate a bit more traffic for the site, too.

Kasiopea is a wonderful artist; having her illustrate your story is quite a compliment.

I was thrilled - both to be approached and with the piece itself. It's going to be in Aiglos: hasn't she illustrated Glitter of Metal as well? It's a beautifully done zine, I'm looking forward to my tribber's copy.

Glad you like the website - we thought it was time the stories had their own home on the internet. At the moment it's mainly links, but I'll start shifting all the fiction there in time, and hopefully get a review function on the site. Have to learn PHP first! And Stargazers deserved a home (we put them up on ff.net too).

Thank you for the tip about the HASA URL library - I'll hurry off and do that now!

Yes, Kasiopea did a nice illustration for The Glitter of Metal for Aiglos. I'm also looking forward to seeing that zine - never mind I can't read a word of Polish!

I really like the story and the illustration is just the icing on the cake. Lovely.

I was thrilled with it, as I'm sure you can imagine. If you haven't seen her art before, do click on the link - it's beautiful stuff.

Don't worry, I have *g*, and I agree it is gorgeous. Her Faramir and Eowyn pictures are particularly good but I like all of it.

Except, of course, I'm an idiot and was combining Kasiopea and Anke-Katrin Eissman together. They *both* do gorgeous Faramir and Boromir!

:-)

I particularly love Kasiopea's young Boromir and Faramir pictures.
