Manip - 0630 Day's first cup of coffee

[prue84]

Title: 0630 Day's first cup of coffee
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (TOS)
Pairing: Kirk/Spock (implied)
Characters: James Kirk
Rating: G
Tagline: Extract from the Captain's Schedule: 06.30 Wake up. Brief with the bridge.
Series: Second in this bathrobe miniseries. First piece here.
Notes: Ohh, see where Jim is. Has he picked the wrong door the night before? XD And look whose bathrobe he's wearing!
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Fuck this: I can't fix the awful quality of Shatner's promo pic even if my life depended from it. I don't like the face's position either but the original pic had already this weird angle and I couldn't make any better, with my limited manip skills.
That's why I hate to make TOS manips: there's little to nothing to work with, unless you go for the screencaps - that not always work. There are some HQ promo pics but they have weird colors and I'm still unable to turn them into "normal".

No nuissance at all: I like a "chat" now and then (a reason why I hate Tumblr, even though I'm there because by now everyone's there)!

Oh, that fic is evil, I know. It's sad that the fanart that prompted it is no more available. I should upload it in my scrapbook, because I feel it's a fundamental part of the fic. Argh, I KNEW I had it saved on my desktop, but I cannot find it on the huge fanart folder I have on my laptop, and this is making me throwing a fit.
Anyway, the art has been reblogged here (http://pinkandsatiny.tumblr.com/post/19563868253/medicatedmaniac-st-you-could-be-happy-by)

Hard to reply, to the question. For the fic I already published, you need to know the characters in their reboot version because they - in my mind at least - would never work if you read them imagining TOS Jim and TOS Spock in place of the reboot guys. Knowing or not knowing what happened in the movies is... probably irrelevant, but then... the characters are shaped by the movies events as well (the events that more shape both Jim and Spock happen in Into Darkness, by the way, and as of now I still have to publish any fic in which the events of ID have a place).
Is this answer clear enough? *not sure*



Thank you! <3 <3

Thanks for the link to the pic! And believe it or not: that was what I saw in my mind's eye when I read the story, so I think I understood it alright.

And I'll try to catch up with the movies, read synopses, etc., when I think there's a gap in my understanding. - Or I'll show up and ask stupid questions! ;)
