Title: I Can Tell Just What You Want
Fandom: Secret Six
Characters/Pairing: Catman/Deadshot, Jeannette
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,364
Summary: Blake. Lawton. Sparring. Sex. Pretty straightforward.
A/N: As a disclaimer, I do not ship this. However, Gail Simone does and that's good enough for me. Also, I was in a smut mood and there are no good words for girl parts and these two are tied for second favorite male character and as for my first, Ragdoll has neither functional genitalia nor anyone I'd feel comfortable seeing him sleep with (the first person who says Parademon or Black Alice gets punched in the solar plexus), so this was it. Enjoy.

Apparently I can post but still not comment, so I'm abusing mod privilege to pimp an awesome project. (DDoSers, you suck monkey balls.)

* Bonnie Burton( Grrl.com)

The purpose of the book is to show support for female creators in comics and media.

"Read more and/or pledge your support at the Womanthology Kickstarter page.

And as an added incentive point of interest, DC Women Kicking Ass have published an interview with Kyrax2, the Batgirl!Steph at San Diego ComiCon who called DiDio & co out on DCnU's 'diversity'.

Earlier today, @NickiColey, creator of the webcomic Streets of Porter City, tweeted @GailSimone:

"The fans will keep Secret Six alive, we promise!" and added a link to a piece of Deadshot-Catman-Ragdoll art that is definitely worth sharing here. :D

Here is a lovely article focussing on Catman and who he is; why he does what he does.

Born in Blood, by Carol Borden.

"I’ve been watching Dexter, and thinking about Thomas Blake, Catman in Gail Simone’s comic, Secret Six (DC, 2008-2011). With his tousled blond hair and predatory grin, Michael C. Hall would make an excellent candidate for any portrayal of Catman. But there are deeper resonances than physical resemblance."

Read more...

It's official: as of issue #36, Secret Six is no more.

DCU's selection of 52 titles to 'relaunch' from issue #1 will not include our favourite band of misfits and oddballs, the Secret Six.

Read the details in Gail Simone's own words.

I have no idea what's going to happen to the rest of our merry band, but I do know that Deadshot is on the cover of Suicide Squad #1, along with a completely inappropriately underdressed Harley, and King Shark, who appears to have mutated into a hammerhead. *blinks*

This comm will continue to play host to your love of the Secret Six for as long as you all keep on sharing it.

Please, keep on sharing it! And keep the faith. There's no way all 52 books are going to survive their first year, so there are going to be gaps that need filling. ;)

Hello all, new member here! I started reading S6 in July '10 and since then I've crocheted a knockout doll, I did that list of 58 reasons Knockout should come back, and got a replication of Scandal's bicep tattoo (all links go to my journal entries on those things because who doesn't love some good old fashion pimping). Hope to get to know you all soon.

Pimping a lovely piece of artwork: Scandal/Knockout, by afangirlsdream @ deviantart.com.

Title: kisses in the fallout shelter
Author: tellitslant
Fandom: Secret Six
Pairing: Jeannette/Scandal Savage (Scandal/Knockout, Jeannette/Deadshot)
Rating: Explicit
Word count: 4300
Disclaimer: All hail Gail Simone. This is a transformative work with no infringement intended.
Notes: Set between "Unhinged" and "Double Date" (SS issues 7 and 8). Can be read as in the same universe as Begun in Wine, but reading that is not necessary to understand this. Thanks to bell for translation assistance!
Warnings: Consensual sexual violence (though not more than is canonical, I don't think)
Summary: Jeannette disapproves of Scandal's fixation on Knockout's death, and what sort of friend would she be if she didn't try to help Scandal work through her grief?

and those who stayed have gone to ground and talk is harsh and fleeting

Icons from Secret Six Volume 3 Issues #1-8
132 Icons under the cut.
5 Bane
43 Floyd Lawton/Deadshot
17 Jeannette
4 Ragdoll
15 Scandal Savage
22 Thomas Blake/Catman
21 Miscellaneous Groups
5 Floyd/Jeannette

Things I have realized while making Secret Six icons:
I know Floyd is always smoking, but seriously...he is always smoking.
Thomas has the most gorgeous eyes, and the creative team seems to always like to give him his close ups.
Jeannette and her lollipops make me giddy.
Jeannette just makes me giddy.
Floyd and Jeannette...are totally my new OTP.
That being said, I wish the artwork in this Double Date issue was prettier.
I really couldn’t love these guys any more than I do right now.


Get Out of Hell Free

Did you all know there's a kink meme specifically for rare pairings in the comics world? I didn't, but now I do.

rarecomicskink

They have a relatively short list of banned pairings, though even those are allowed in threesomes/moresomes on a special post, but apart from those, the field is wide open. If they're in comics, they're kinkable. :D

There are already two Secret Six fills:

Catman/Deadshot, with Thomas doing his weird cat shit and Floyd making fun of him but not quite wanting him to stop either.

Kay likes to watch Scandal bring herself off...


Their inaugural post is up to 16 pages of prompts, and there are already unanswered Secret Six prompts for Jeanette/Deadshot and Knockout/Scandal.

There needs to be more! Go! Get kinky! :D

Fandom comms all over LJ are, at present, being spammed with porn vid posts by at least two journals: elianaabel447 and angiepritchard. I haven't put direct links to them as, if they're spamming, who knows what else they might be up to?

Four of my comms have been hit: slashthedrabble, slashtheimage, spn_betas and we_love_secret6. The others are, I hope, now safe, as I have banned both journals from all of my comms, via LJ's nifty Admin Console.

For those who are not tech savvy (which very definitely includes me), here is the admin console reference, providing instructions on how to use it.

It's all pretty basic. To ban a journal from your comm(s): ban_set username from commname, repeated in the console window for each comm you have mod privileges with, and then click and you should get a list of verifications in green text.

Hopefully, this is not the start of a major spamming spree. If it happens again in the next couple of weeks, I will put the comm into moderated posting for a limited period of time so I can catch the spam before it hits your flists.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled fannishness. :D

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Autumn is coming swiftly with the turning of the leaves, and you know what that means! ;)
