#sgvs hiatus

Big Bravo for our Betas

Now there’s a LOT of writing in SGVS so far, and the same again still to come. Who do you think has helped all these different writers keep plot points consistent, pointed out repetition, saved us from ourselves when we want to have someone say something that would be terribly OOC?

THAT’S RIGHT. Our betas.

There’s a typo in episode 7, gotta go.

Our first port of call has been @spaceshipsarecool - an excellent editor as well as writing episode 4. Above and beyond the call of duty, Trish has asked the tough questions and found the contradictions in any first draft. More than that, she’s asked us for more of the good things, and based on your comments, that has really worked.

Complicated action scenes? Bring them on.

Then we have @catherinegrant, who was @supercattucino before this. Big picture, line edits, catching the clunkers that a character would never say, Mayka has done it all. 

Not bad for someone who wasn’t gonna beta in the first place!

We also wouldn’t have full consistency of grammar and plot without the hands on help of @saunteringvaguelydownwards and @musetotheworld. A project this huge is nothing without a dedicated team, and these folks have put a TON of work in, even if it’s not immediately visible in the same way as other contributions.

So a big, huge, tremendous round of applause for them all please. They’ve made your SGVS possible. Please like and reblog so they can see how much their work is appreciated!

Where To Get Chinese Delivery And Takeout In LA

Chinese food is meant to be shared. Pre-COVID, if you’d have gone to any dim sum restaurant on a Sunday morning, you would have seen families picking out of the same basket of siu mai, friends handing each other glistening BBQ pork buns, and loaded-up Lazy Susans on every table. These small, communal exchanges are half the experience, which is why it feels so weird to not be able to sit down at any of these places right now. But if we’ve learned anything from these past few weeks, it’s that - as Julie Chen warns the houseguests at the beginning of every Big Brother episode - we should always expect the unexpected. So we’re here, we’re adapting, and we’ve got 24 spots now offering Chinese delivery and takeout, just for you.

All restaurants featured on The Infatuation are selected by our editorial team. Where To Get Chinese Delivery And Takeout In LA is presented by Uber Eats. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, supporting our local restaurant community has never been more important. Uber Eats is offering $0 Delivery Fee for delivery orders from independent restaurants directly in the app. Order now to support. See app for details.

the spots Bang Bang Handmade Noodles Xi’an Street Food $$$$ 5040 York Blvd

After a brief hiatus, Bang Bang Noodles is back, baby. Pre-shelter-in-place, this mega popular street cart was drawing lines that rivaled the ones at Howlin’ Rays, with hour-long waits for their signature hand-pulled noodles. Now, they’ve shifted to weekend preorders, where you have your choice between beef shank, lamb shoulder, shiitake wood ear mushrooms, or seitan tofu, placed upon their tingly cumin noodles, served either dry or with soup. Limit four per order, check their Instagram for details.

Beijing Pie House $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Monterey Park $$$$ 846 E Garvey Ave #A 7.4 /10

Unlike other houses of pies around town, you won’t find any banana creams or Dutch apples at this Alhambra restaurant. Instead, they specialize in xian bing, a disk-sized, savory dumpling from northern China that’s served dangerously hot and filled with everything from beef and green onion to summer squash and lamb. Call them directly at [phone] to place an order, or find them on most major delivery platforms.

 Jakob Layman Chang's Garden $$$$ 627 W Duarte Rd

The portions at Chang’s are huge, which makes this Arcadia restaurant an ideal option when ordering for families (or if you’re single and want to stock your fridge for the week). The specialty here is Hangzhou-style cooking, a city in eastern China that focuses on dishes like pork ribs steamed in lotus leaves, dong po pork, and fish fried lightly with seaweed. Call [phone] or order through most major delivery platforms.

 Order delivery   Nate Watters Din Tai Fung $ $ $ $ Chinese ,  Dim Sum  in  Glendale $$$$ 177 Caruso Ave. 8.4 /10

Oh, Din Tai Fung. With their infamously long lines and much-discussed soup dumplings, no other Chinese restaurant in LA has inspired as much awe, fear, or tweets from @Americana at Brand Memes. Their locations in Glendale, Arcadia, Costa Mesa, Century City, and Torrance are all available for delivery/takeout, so there’s no better time to get your fill of wontons, Shanghai rice cakes, and, if you’re as serious about meal prepping as we are, 20-30 orders of soup dumplings. Order through their website or on most major delivery platforms.

Elite Restaurant $ $ $ $ Chinese ,  Dim Sum  in  Monterey Park $$$$ 700 S Atlantic Blvd 8.5 /10

Elite should be on every self-respecting dim sum enthusiast’s short list. They’re currently offering their entire menu for delivery or takeout from their Monterey Park location, including golden cream buns, steamed taro rice cakes, pork siu mai, and a BBQ pork pastry that we dream about on a near-daily basis (what would Jung have to say about that?). Call [phone] to order.

 Jakob Layman Fat Dragon $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Silver Lake $$$$ 3500 W Sunset Blvd 8.0 /10

With locations in Silver Lake and Highland Park, the utility of Fat Dragon is simple - casual, affordable Chinese food in neighborhoods where that’s sorely lacking. The best things on the menu are the wontons, spicy eggplant, and steak with the broccolini, but it’s all pretty solid, reliable, and exactly what you want while going on Twitter for eight hours (screen time is nothing but a man-made concept). Call the restaurant directly at [phone] to place an order, or find them on most major delivery platforms.

 Order delivery  Genghis Cohen $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Beverly Grove ,  Fairfax $$$$ 740 N Fairfax Ave 7.0 /10

For more than 30 years, Genghis Cohen has been a favorite of East Coast transplants longing for a “New York-style” Chinese fix. The menu includes dishes like sweet and sour chicken, walnut shrimp, and Szechuan green beans, but they’re also offering all of their drinks to-go, from sake to beer to… White Claws? Nice. Call [phone], or order through most major delivery platforms.

 Hai Di Lao Hai Di Lao Hot Pot $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Arcadia $$$$ 400 S Baldwin Ave Ste 2015 7.6 /10

Hot pot might not seem like the kind of food you can eat at home (because who has hot pot equipment just lying around?), but in addition offering their full menu to-go, this Sichuanese restaurant is also selling “self-heating” hot pots that even the most culinarily challenged can manage. All you have to do is add water to the heating pack and let it do it’s thing. Pick one up from either of Hai Di Lao’s outposts in Arcadia or Century City.

Hop Woo BBQ Seafood Restaurant $$$$ 845 N Broadway

Open since the ’90s, Hop Woo is a family-owned Chinatown staple. Their vast menu of over 100+ dishes includes everything you need for a night at home, like Hong Kong- style BBQ (think roast duck and pork), seafood, chop suey, wonton soups, and more. They’re also offering a few specials if you pick-up in-store, like free egg rolls with orders over $18, and a pound of lobster (!!) for orders over $68. Call [phone], or find them on most major delivery platforms.

 iXLB IXLB Dimsum Eats $$$$ 5900 W Sunset Blvd

iXLB is your one-stop-shop for quick and easy dim sum. This Hollywood restaurant has all of the classic Chinese brunch foods, like shrimp har gow, baked char siu bao, pan-fried turnip cakes, and Hong Kong-style egg custard tarts, and at relatively affordable prices. So while there aren’t a lot of frills, bells, or whistles here, if we’ve learned anything from Infinite Jest - maybe that’s for the best? Call the restaurant at [phone] to order, or find them on most major delivery platforms.

 Krystal Thompson Kang Kang Food Court $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Alhambra $$$$ 104 N Garfield Ave 7.8 /10

Even though you’re not a bao specialist (that takes years of training, Karen), that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy Kang Kang’s dumplings at home. They’re offering an entire freezer full of options, from pork and Napa cabbage to crab and pork, all of which are perfect for steaming, boiling, or frying whenever you’re hungry or need something to stall you from making a TikTok account. Pick-up in store, call [phone], or order through their website.

 Jakob Layman Lao Xi Noodle House $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Arcadia $$$$ 600 Live Oak Ave 8.5 /10

Handmade in-house, served in a fragrant broth, and physically impossible to eat too much of, Lao Xi makes some of the best noodles in the SGV. They’re all prepared in the regional style of the northern Shanxi province, where they are apparently adept at making amazing lamb soup noodles and dumplings filled with pork and Napa cabbage. In addition to their regular menu, they’re also selling frozen packages of those dumplings for takeout - call [phone] to order.

 Little Fatty $ $ $ $ Taiwanese  in  Mar Vista $$$$ 3809 Grand View Boulevard 7.3 /10

Besides being the name our relatives called us growing up (they weren’t wrong, per se), Little Fatty is a cool, casual Taiwanese restaurant in Mar Vista. And not only is their entire menu now available to go - we’re partial to their scallion pancakes and squid ink xiao long bao - they’re also selling frozen packages of siu mai, har gow, and dan dan sauce by the quart. Call directly at [phone] or order online.

 Order delivery   Jakob Layman Lunasia Chinese Cuisine $ $ $ $ Chinese ,  Dim Sum  in  Alhambra $$$$ 500 W Main St 8.6 /10

When it comes to the realm of dim sum, Lunasia is king. We’ve yet to find a single miss on their 100+ item menu, but if you are, for some reason, not ordering enough food to feed an entire football team, here’s the game plan: Jumbo pork siu mai, followed by pan-fried string beans. A crunchy shrimp roll. Add in an order of the Macau-style roasted pork belly, before finishing with one or two of the shrimp har gow, depending on your level of stir-craziness. All three of their locations (Alhambra, Pasadena, and Cerritos) are open for delivery and takeout, call or order through their app.

 Jakob Layman Mama Lu's Dumpling House $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Monterey Park $$$$ 153 E Garvey Ave 8.5 /10

Mama Lu’s just might have the best dumplings in the SGV. The pan-fried ones come crisped to perfection, and although we’ve eaten thousands of soup dumplings in our lives (maybe? We’re writers, not mathematicians), their xiao long bao are still some our all-time favorites. And now you don’t even need to wait in line (or put on pants) to enjoy them - frozen packages of Mama Lu’s dumplings are available for curbside pick-up. Call [phone] to order.

Mei Wei Jin Hai $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Monterey Park $$$$ 910 E Garvey Ave. 7.8 /10

This family-run restaurant in Monterey Park specializes in Chinese Islamic cuisine, which means that everything from their spicy JinHai chicken to their thick chive dumplings is completely halal. This is the kind of bold, flavorful food that’ll be able to bring you back from the brink of existential collapse when you accidentally glance at a calendar with your now-canceled plans on it. Their entire menu is available for takeout and delivery, call [phone] or order through their website.

 Krystal Thompson Pearl River Deli $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Chinatown $$$$ 727 N Broadway #130 Not

Rated

Yet

Pearl River Deli is now available to-go. The menu here changes constantly, but what remains consistent is their creative, bold takes on modern Cantonese food. In addition to their incredible soy sauce chicken, silky egg scramble, and Macau pork chop (which is served bone-in, atop a slightly sweet pineapple bun), they’ve added some new take-home items, like Hong Kong-style borscht and bak kut teh, a Singaporean bone broth. Call or text [phone] to order for pick-up, Wednesday-Sunday, 11am-7pm.

 Rice Box Rice Box $$$$ 541 S Spring St #131

Located in the DTLA’s Spring Arcade Building, RiceBox is a Cantonese restaurant that specializes in modern BBQ. That means a mix of dishes like bao filled with Monterey Jack cheese and Impossible meat dumplings alongside honey-glazed char siu and soy-sauce chicken. They’re also now selling frozen bulk packages of their egg rolls, and entire Peking ducks for pre-order. Call [phone], email ([email protected]), or find them on most major delivery platforms.

Savoy Kitchen $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Alhambra $$$$ 138 E Valley Blvd 7.6 /10

Pizzas and pastas coexist with bone broth and baked halibut on Savoy Kitchen’s eclectic menu, but what’s gained this Alhambra restaurant their cult-following is their Hainanese chicken. If you’re unfamiliar, the set up is pretty straightforward: Boneless chicken, white rice, and a variety of sauces, like sweet soy, ginger-scallion, and lime-chili. Simple, and straight to the point - unlike your relationship with your roommate, now that you’ve seen them eat alfredo sauce out of the jar. Call [phone] to place an order.

 Jakob Layman Sichuan Impression $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Alhambra $$$$ 1900 W Valley Blvd 8.3 /10

One of our all-time favorite restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley, Sichuan Impression is now offering all of their fantastically spicy (and not-so-spicy, if you’re not a fan of mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn) food to-go. You’ll find all of the bold flavors of the southwestern Chinese province in their dishes, like toothpick lamb skewers with dried chili and scallions, boiled fish with rattan pepper, or tender tea-smoked pork ribs. Call [phone] to place an order. Their West LA location is also available for takeout and delivery - call [phone].

 Steep Steep $$$$ 970 N Broadway

With its sleek, all-white interiors and monochrome furniture, this Chinatown tea shop looks more like a Muji showroom than a place to eat and drink, but don’t be mistaken - Steep is serving some of the highest quality teas around. Now available for delivery/takeout on their site they’re offering a variety of unique loose-leaf teas like spring snail green tea and spring in Bulang pu-erh, as well as a freshly brewed options, for those without a strainer (or patience). If you’re feeling hungry, they also have a few Taiwanese dishes like braised pork rice bowls, clear broth noodle soup with beef shank, and radish cakes.

 Jakob Layman Tasty Noodle House $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  San Gabriel $$$$ 827 W Las Tunas Dr 8.2 /10

Yes, the food at this San Gabriel restaurant (in addition to their other locations throughout LA) is tasty, but you’d be remiss to limit yourself to just noodles. This tiny shop specializes in the flavors of Dalian, a coastal city in northeastern China, which translates into a variety of potent seafood dishes, like jellyfish in spring scallion oil and stir-fried sea snail. Just make sure you also have these three things in your cart - buttery scallion pancakes, the enormous beef noodle soup, and juicy pan-fried dumplings so good, they might even inspire you to put jeans on for the first time this week. To place an order, visit their website.

 Krystal Thompson Woon $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Historic Filipinotown $$$$ 2920 W Temple St 7.9 /10

One of our go-tos for all things involving chewy noodles and perfectly curated playlists, Woon is back after a temporary closure. There’s a few key things to note regarding their return, namely that in addition to their normal menu, they’re now selling packages of the aforementioned chewy noodles, as well as meal kits for as many as six, plus beer, wine, sake, and milk tea. Order contactless delivery and takeout through their website, Wednesday-Sunday, 4-9pm.

 Jakob Layman Yang’s Kitchen $ $ $ $ Taiwanese  in  Alhambra $$$$ 112 W Main Street 8.3 /10

Although the kitchen side of Yang’s is now closed (for the most part), this modern Taiwanese restaurant has since transformed into a full-time marketplace. Their Alhambra location currently functions as a one-stop-shop for goods and foods from local vendors, including bread from Bub and Grandma’s, fresh pasta from Semolina Artisanal, produce from Chavez Family Farms, as well as a variety of T-shirts, ceramics, candles, and the greatest good of all - toilet paper. Preorder for pick-up through their website.

LA Podography; or, A Guide to Podcasts About Los Angeles

What follows is intended to be an exhaustive directory to podcasts in which, broadly speaking, Los Angeles is the subject. I’d like to apologize for my neologism, “podography,” but I’m not sure how else to refer to the podcast equivalent of a bibliography, discography, filmography, or webography.

We can thank Ben Hammersley for coining the term “podcast” in 2004, a portmanteau of “iPod” and “broadcast.” Although I’m generally opposed to genericized trademarks (e.g. aspirin, band-aid, chapstick, coke, google, hoover, kleenex, speedo, velcro, xerox, &c), by 2005 “podcast” was so widely adopted that most today would probably struggle to recognize the meaning of the generic “netcast.” Of course, there are undoubtedly still those, in 2018, who are unaware of what a podcast is, for that matter, despite the medium pre-dating the term by several years. Some trace the birth of the podcast back to Adam Curry‘s long-defunct “audioblogs,” whilst others, (including the program’s host), trace it back to Christopher Lydon‘s still excellent Radio Open Source.

Nowadays there are so podcasts that almost never listen to the radio (except for “old time radio” dramas, and even then I stream them online). There are so many good podcasts that I usually listen to them at either 1.5x or 2x, thus allowing me more time to enjoy silence or music. And unlike radio, where one either mutes the station or changes it when confronted with an advertisement, with a podcast one can merely hit the fast forward button to avoid hearing the host or intrusive advertiser promoting their innovative mattresses, underpants, web services, or (most useless of all) shirts designed to be worn untucked.

In recent years, a handful of podcasters have turned to Los Angeles as subject. Usually, the format is similar. A host — or more often two co-hosts — share some Los Angeles history deemed sufficiently obscure. The tone varies between jokey and academic. Even when formulaic, I enjoy all of them but compiling this podography has me wondering about what else a Los Angeles podcast could be… perhaps something less explanatory, more immersive, and more abstract — albeit less challengingly abstract than, say, Glenn Gould‘s experimental radio documentaries of the 1960s and ’70s. For now, however, consider the following.

Notebook on Cities and Culture (2007-2015)

After the conclusion of his radio program, Marketplace of Ideas, essayist and host Colin Marshall launched a podcast, Notebook on Cities and Culture, in which he conducted in-depth discussions with artists, explorers, critics, editors, radio hosts, and other cultural creators. Notebook on Cities and Culture wasn’t exclusively focused on Los Angeles, however, and over time he explored to Mexico City, Japan, the Pacific Northwest, and Korea, where he now lives.

You Can’t Eat the Sunshine (2013-present)

You Can’t Eat the Sunshine is the monthly podcast created and hosted by Kim Cooper and Richard Schave, who also lead guided bus tours as Esotouric. In the podcast, the married, native Angelenos advocate for the preservation of Los Angeles’s pre-1980s built environment and interview other Los Angeles historians and preservationists.

Hidden History of Los Angeles (2013-present)

Hidden History of Los Angeles is native Pasadenan Robert Petersen‘s podcast which he “explores the lesser-known aspects of Los Angeles history” with the aid of voice-over actors.

L.A. Meekly (2013-present)

L.A. Meekly is co-hosted by Daniel Zafran and Greg Gonzalez, two native Angelenos and comedians who joke and explore the lesser-known aspects of Los Angeles history.

Valley of Smoke (2015-present)

Valley of Smoke is Downey-native/Cypress-raised Alex MacInnis‘s series of audio documentaries about various aspects of Los Angeles culture. Painstakingly constructed, only a few episodes have aired each year.

Home: Stories from L.A. (2015-2017)

Home: Stories from L.A. was Philadelphia-born Bill Barol‘s podcast which documented famous, infamous, and non-famous residences in Los Angeles and in the process examined notions of home and more. In 2017, Barol announced that the program was going on indefinite hiatus.

SGV Connect  (2016-present)

SGV Connect is Damien Newton‘s podcast about mass transit and active transportation in the San Gabriel Valley. Prior to June 2017, it was known as DamienTalksSGV.

Off Peak (2016)

Off Peak was Metro’s promising but very short-lived podcast designed to challenge the “car-centric narrative of Los Angeles” by focusing on the rich history of the county’s mass and active transit as well as its future. 

LA Podcast (2018-present)

LA Podcast is a podcast in which Hayes Davenport, Scott Frazier, and since July 2018, St. Louis, Missouri-native Alissa Walker joke and discuss news and politics in Los Angeles. 

Órale Boyle Heights (2018-present)

Órale Boyle Heights is the podcast in which host Erick Huerta (former blogger behind LA Eastside) conducts long interviews and jokes with various cultural creators from Boyle Heights and elsewhere in Los Angeles’s Eastside.

Welcome to LA (2018)

Welcome to LA was St. Louis, Missouri-native David Weinberg‘s podcast in which he recounted tales of  “movie stars and Hollywood hopefuls whose stories seem too crazy to be true.”

Our/Los Angeles is a podcast launched in September 2018 hosted by Courtney Nichols. According to their website, “LA is a city of many cities. Diversity in its people, it’s [sic] places and its poetry. Each episode will feature an in depth look into a specific side, layer, tangent, fascination of Los Angeles. That only someone who lives and loves LA as much as we do would know.” The podcast is sponsored by Our/Vodka and therefore listeners must be 21 and over to stream or download.

ALSO OF NOTE

Never 30 (2017-present) is the Ventura County Star‘s history podcast, hosted by Andrea Howry.

Jo Kwon Reporting (2017) was journalist Jo Kwon‘s podcast in which she produced three episodes which explored various aspects of Southern California’s cannabis culture but seems to have been put on hold.

Actual magician @pinkrabbitpro

Favorite thing about creating?

The actual doing of it. There’s almost a kind of high when I dig into a project and it starts to come together, when I start to see the face or expression I’m trying for or when I figure out how to create an effect. It’s often weird little things that would shock people, but very gratifying.

What part of creating do you hate most?

See what I wrote above, the hate happens when all those wonderful things don’t happen and I have an image in my head, but what’s on the screen is nowhere near that. It’s beyond frustrating.

What inspires you to create something?

In fandom it’s mostly the desire to tell a story and/or get a bit inside someone’s head. Whether I’m writing or painting, I hope to make people stop, pay attention, maybe think a bit. As an artist, I also get fascinated by faces sometimes, just trying to figure out how someone’s bone structure works, their expressions and subtleties. It’s rarely the stunning beauties, more the interesting or very expressive.

Which ships do you love to create for?

Most recently Supercat, though I’ve enjoyed the Sanvers I’ve done for the VS. I’ve also played around with SwanQueen, Sam/Janet from SG1, Otalia, Buffy/Willow, Xena/Gabrielle and others. I bounce in and out of fandom and have for years, so it’s a pretty long list.

What drew you to the Supergirl fandom?

A fanfic honestly. I enjoyed the dynamic in it (it was Supercat). I’d watched the first few episodes of the show and been fairly frustrated, the fanfic got me to go back, Calista made me stay.

If you could have one Supergirl character in your life, who would it be and why?

Hmmm, as much as I love Cat, in real life, I would probably have to kill her, Kara and Alex both come with way too much adventure. Honestly, probably Winn. He’s sweet, would fix my old computers or build me a new one.

Where can people find your art/gifs?

New stuff http://pinkrabbitpro.tumblr.com/ and/or http://archiveofourown.org/users/PinkRabbitPro/pseuds/PinkRabbitPro older stuff altfic.com

What’s been the best part of working on the VS?

It’s a really great group of people!

Anything you liked to say to all the readers of the VS?

Hope you have as much fun reading it as we’ve had creating it.

Tell us something random about yourself!

Well, since it just started raining, I’ll tell you, I love rain. Love the sound of it on the roof, or walking in it, or just standing in it and tipping my head back and letting it spatter on my face. One of my favorite things in the world is to go to the zoo whenever there’s a light summer drizzle. The weather cools off so it’s nice to be outside and the animals get playful and it breaks the heat and lightens my soul.

#pinkrabbitpro #sgvs hiatus #meet your creators

Super gay, superCat, super Art @supergaysupercat

Favorite thing about creating? Getting to draw things I wanna see.

What part of creating do you hate most? The disconnection that happens a lot between mind and hand, not being able to DRAW what I’m imagining, or falling short.

What inspires you to create something? Ladies, ladies ladies ladies. Badass epic music (like epic score) and cool things like space and orcs. Also Lady space Orcs backed by badass music.

Which ships do you love to create for? SUPERCAT, Korrasami, GeneralDanvers, femshep/Liara, MajorlyJudgingYou

What drew you to the Supergirl fandom? My wife made me read supercat porn and I was into it.

If you could have one Supergirl character in your life, who would it be and why? God, Kara Danvers probably, I need that positivity in my life.

Where can people find your art/gifs My tumblr at: supergaysupercat/tagged/arttag I also dump stuff on my personal blog, and my professional art blog.

What’s been the best part of working on the VS? Getting to work with a really dedicated team who have boundless energy and enthusiasm and are just a bunch of skilled fuckers.

Anything you liked to say to all the readers of the VS? Thank you so much for your absolutely WONDERFUL comments, it honestly makes this so so worth it knowing you are all enjoying it :smile:

Tell us something random about yourself! I am one of those people obsessed with stationery, I have an entire file just, full of blank notebooks I’ve never touched. And I keep making/buying more, help me.

#supergaysupercat #sgvs hiatus #meet your creators #long post

[sgvs]

Y’all can’t hold a torch to @xxtorchxx

Favorite thing about creating? The challenge. I love the challenge of manips and seeing the end result.

What part of creating do you hate most? When my eyes bleed. As an artist working on something for a couple hours, the image can get lost in you, or look good to you but weird to others. That's why I started reaching out to a couple people to lend me their eyes. (Luce, Al, Sus and Octo depending on who's available - always Luce tho cause she will kick my ass)

What inspires you to create something? Emotion. Every image invokes some kind of feeling. I usually see potential for something while looking at screen shots and run with it.

Which ships do you love to create for? Supercat. I used to do Swan Queen (which I still ship) but only supercat right now.

What drew you to the Supergirl fandom? I came for the superhero but I started shipping supercat after episode 4 and went looking on tumblr for 'my people'. I found a few supercat shippers and it all went down hill from there :) I'm stuck in this dumpster.

If you could have one Supergirl character in your life, who would it be and why? It’s funny, ship wise I love Cat Grant and Kara obviously. But I feel like I would get along better with Alex or James. I have no explanation for this. Haha.

Where can people find your art/gifs? All my supercat stuff is tagged 'my supershit' or 'my super shit' on my page.

What’s been the best part of working on the VS? Watching the writers do their thing and the masterminds organize this. I'm always amazed by people who can write because I cannot.

Anything you liked to say to all the readers of the VS? I really hope you enjoyed it.

Tell us something random about yourself! I enjoy this but I also love music. Always have music on when I can. I also play drums and guitar.

Favorite thing about writing? Getting to visualize and bring to life interactions that I wish we could see in the show. Delving into the voices of each character and getting to live in their headspace for a little while. Oh, and the smut probably… What part of writing do you hate most? Self doubt. Knowing what you want to say and ripping out your hair until you can finally make it happen. What inspires you to write? Ladies, mostly older ladies. Chemistry between ladies. Also, when I am not writing it feels like a part of me is missing, like part of my brain has been shut off. Writing is a really integral part of the life I want to live. Which ships are you known for writing? Supercat, Grace and Frankie, J7 (Janeway/Seven, Star Trek: Voyager), Kegan (Megan/Kate, Body of Proof) What drew you to the Supergirl fandom? Calista. And all the amazing art and writing I was seeing. The fandom really got me to start watching the show. If you could have one Supergirl character in your life, who would it be and why? Cat or Alex. Cat would be a handful, but a worth-it handful. Alex would have my back no matter what. Where can people find your fics?

Favorite thing about creating?

I just like the escape it provides. I can forget about whatever is stressing me when I'm working on something.

What part of creating do you hate most?

Finding the right screencaps/elements (graphics) and scenes (gifs) to use. I think I spend more time looking for things than doing photoshop.

What inspires you to create something?

I'm not really sure, anything can inspire me really. Sometimes I see a graphic on my dash that would intrigue me. Or when I'm obsessed with a particular ship and I get all these ideas and an urge to do something.

Which ships do you love to create for? Well, lately it's been mostly supercat. I used to do some stuff for faberry.

What drew you to the Supergirl fandom? The fans were pretty chill and very creative (the fics! My God the fics). It was like a breath of fresh air for me because everyone seems to get along, all the ships exist together in harmony. And then the Fire Nation attacked.

If you could have one Supergirl character in your life, who would it be and why? Cat Grant because she gives pretty good advice. I need someone like that in my life. Her sass is also appreciated.

Where can people find your art/gifs? my tumblr, ofpensandcupcakes.tumblr.com

What’s been the best part of working on the VS?

Being able to collaborate with all these talented people. Talking to and exchanging ideas with all these amazing writers and artists is an experience for me. Also seeing all the comments from fandom is pretty awesome too!

Anything you liked to say to all the readers of the VS?

I hope you guys are enjoying the VS! Thank you for all your comments and reactions. I hope the sgvs can brighten your day and provide a good distraction even for just a little while.

Tell us something random about yourself! I hate cucumbers.

Thank you so much to everyone involved with SGVS, it's the greatest gift to come home after work every day and find a new chapter and new art! Question: since it's a multimedia project, has anyone considered podficcing the stories? I'm certainly going to (re-re-)re-read the whole season anyway, but I'd definitely also love audio versions for those times when you're too tired/ill/... to read. But maybe that's just me. Anyway, thank you so much again! The scale of this project just blows me away!

We hadn’t considered that yet, mostly because it’s such a long story in its complete form! But watch this space for hiatus news, where everyone can get involved...
