Dumbing of Age Book Twelve

Continuing onslaught of SLASH CONTEST entries!

Okay, so Amber is apparently a very popular smoocher in these entries.  But she’s not the whole story, honest!  Here’s an Amber x Dorothy x Joe’s camera entry from Alia, who also includes Joe and Danny.  This is probably the greatest day of Joe’s life.  Danny will agree a few days later, but right now he’s a little scandalized.  Danny’s not so good at living in the moment.

But Karen Rustad wanted to prove that not everyone has to be making out with Amber!  So here’s Joyce x Dorothy, playing the part of church and state, respectively, and acting out Rick Santorum’s attitudes towards those entities.  That’s right, Joyce x Dorothy’s ship name is “Theocracy.”

I’ve been on Tumblr.  I know how this works.

More SLASH CONTEST entries!

This Amber x Mike piece by pixelspasms was almost third place!  Seriously, it was so very close.  Part of what I loved was the title and/or caption she included: “That was my plan. To make you game-over.”  Without that, it’s just a very well-rendered drawing of Mike kissing Amber.  But with it, there’s a whole Evil Scheme involved, with possible secondary romantic objectives???  I love this thing.

But it didn’t have Danny in a dress, so it fell just short of placing.  Damn.

To round out today’s Amber x Mike theme, here’s an entry from Steven Brown.  Bonus points for sweet Mike abs.  Points detracted for putting Amber in a Shortpacked! uniform!  This is a Dumbing of Age contest, man!  But seriously, this is hot.

SLASH CONTEST: Honorable mentions!

I told you earlier that the two Honorable Mentions played on a similar theme.This is Amazi-Girl x Amber by Dan Magee!  It is the last thing I saw before our boat left cellphone range.  It is epic.

And this is Amazi-Girl x Amber by Andrew Colunga!  This time with a Watchmen motif.

Are we noticing the theme here.  A pretty awesome, world-shattering theme!

(Well, technically, Colunga’s entry should be disqualified for removing the clothing.  Against the rules!)

I enjoyed them both very much, regardless.

SLASH CONTEST: First place!

And here’s our first place winning piece of SLASH CONTEST art!  It’s by Sev, and it’s Roz x Joyce.  Fun fact: This is the only SLASH CONTEST art I got of Roz!  Another fun fact: I may have to give Roz those stockings some time in the future.

Roz Roz Roz.

Tomorrow, we’ll see our two Honorable Mentions (they have a similar theme), and after that I’m gonna start talking about the other 16 or so entries in singles or pairs, day by day.  Nobody will be at lack for SLASH CONTEST art for a good long while.  As it should be.

You’re getting a poster, Sev!  And an extra thing or two!  But not just yet, since I’m still sick from my trip and I don’t think I should send germs through the mail.

SLASH CONTEST: Second place

I think everyone can realize why this Joyce x Mike art is amazing.  No?

Well, okay, the thing is, it makes me laugh whenever I see it.  Like, for five minutes straight.  And if you can do that, you need to win something.  On the cruise, without my Internet, sometimes I’d just leave the image open for days, turning on my tablet whenever I needed to remember why art exists.

I mean, c’mon, look at it.  Look at those eyes.  Look at that waggling tongue tube.  I want to frame it and put it on my face, so it’s the last thing I see when I fall asleep.

(It’s by Rob Kellett, by the way.  He gets a poster.)
