In honor of her grandaughter's health, Jeanna has decided to walk across the country (in the dead of winter) to raise awareness and build support for the bone marrow registry (all that's required is a cheek swab). Follow Jeanna's remarkable journey as she travels the United States by foot.

Okay, I'm just going to post these fic bits that were originally anon response to kink memes, at 4chan, or in the comments, before I forget, and I have an inkling I've forgotten a few already...might separate some of them into another post before I post at cabledeadpool

"Causal Non Con" (War/Deadpool AU drabble, Exactly What It Says On The Tin, Rated M)
( Before War has finished undressing )

"Sensitive In Public" (Nate/Wade, very affectionate PDA)
( He so does not turn into a kitten in a second whenever he has Nate's hands upon him. )

"I Know You Can Heal" (Stryfe/Deadpool, Messiah War dialogue, Rated M)
( That was mean boss )

"The Flavour Is Fleeting" (Stryfe/Deadpool, desires, two part POVs, Rated M)
( Wade comes to life beneath your fingers like a flower in bloom, muscles mending beneath soft new skin / You can feel his attention and intentions, shifting through your thoughts like a sieve )

"Reclaim" (...the old fashion way, microshipping also considered, Nate/Wade after Stryfe/Wade, smutty fluff, Rated M)
( Nate expresses his jealousy much more gently than Stryfe )

Found on scans_daily (where it probably will not last long due to rules about a certain writer):

( One page from X-Factor #200 )

Always on the lookout for compelling images, we were delighted to discover this flourishing community of artists who share a love of nature. Honoring the subject with photographs, paintings, sketches, prose, poetry, and other creative works, you'll be simultaneously riveted to your monitor and inspired to run helter skelter towards the nearest wooded dale.

Ok, so the other person posting yesterday prompted me to draw something too! Created an LJ account just for this so... yay!

To preface this: I don't have access to a scanner or good camera, so I took a picture of my little sketch with my dumb phone. I tried to mess with it and make it clearer in Photoshop (ok, GIMP, not Photoshop) but it didn't work too well. If I can figure out a way to get it/future sketches looking nicer for you guys I'll try to contribute more! :)

Anyway, here it is.

Marvel Comics
-> The Amazing Spider #611
-> Deadpool #17
-> New Mutants/X-Force (Various)

DC Comics
-> Booster Gold #26
-> Gotham City Sirens #6
-> Superman (Origins)
