Valediction
Title: Valediction (Part 1 of 6)
Author: q_dicted
Rating: R Language, violence
Warnings: Angst. Oh, and then? More angst. Major Character Death
Complete: Yes

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my thoughts, and even then sometimes, I rent.
General Summary: Canon thru 509(ish), right down to some of the scenes/dialogue directly from the show. Some just happen in a slightly different time line. Because what if Brian realized what he was missing before the bombing? What if he changed just one thing, and that changed everything – the butterfly effect gone mad.

Author’s note: So… I thought about what sort of disclaimer to write here – something to the effect of how much I love these boys and how I think the B/J love is the greatest story ever told (which I do). I thought about apologizing for what’s going to happen, but let’s face it. I love them and I looooooove angsty, sad stories and I figure if I’m going to write it, and if I’m going to post it, then I’m going to own it. So be warned – very bad things happen. I can’t stress this enough. In fact, let me repeat that: Very. Bad. Things. Happen. (see: Warnings) I am posting in several parts simply because LJ won’t let me post the whole thing at once. I am not a writer – I’ve written exactly two other things in my entire life (in another fandom). I’ve tried to get it right – and all mistakes are mine. The medical stuff? Google is my friend – and I did my best to be accurate. Beyond that, I claim dramatic license, k? Now that that’s out of the way… I promise not to be so long winded in the future.

How to create Rss feed on Dreamwidth
For pages with an RSS/Atom feed, when you look at them in Firefox, the little orange feed icon appears up in the address bar. With the right technical wizardry, you can make it so that clicking on this will subscribe you to the feed on Dreamwidth. (For those of you reading this on LJ, this will work there too, if you replace dreamwidth.org with livejournal.com.)

Rss feed – Fpage in thunderbird
I like to read my friends page while I’m at work. Like many employers, my current boss would prefer that I didn’t, and got on with doing what I’m supposed to be doing. Therefore I must use cunning. So imagine my delight when I downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird (0.9) and lo and behold… RSS support. Wehay, I thought, I can read my friends page as if it were email!

Rss feed
If you read a lot of Web Feed through LJ and/or often fall behind in reading friend entries, this is nerdvana, as they can now popup in Thunderbird, Google Reader, etc. and can be read like email, or with your other news. Yes, even protected/flocked posts. Here’s how:

Graphic Sluts – theories of image
A few days ago, someone asked me to write a turorial on my approach at composition of a manip. Frankly, the thought to consciously analyze the way I compose a piece, or formulate a set of “guidelines” of some kind, never crossed my mind, because composition is an intuitive thing to me. But I did some thinking and gathered a few “tips” on how I make what you can call a “complex manip”, such as this or this pieces of mine. Not sure if they have any value at all – I’m not that good at explaining things even in Russian, and trying to do so in English complicates the task to the point of brain boiling, but… well. I figured since I spent entire afternoon writing them down, I might as well share them.
