After seeing the Ken Zombie, I decided to go ahead and put up my latest Gatch Halloween image. It's fun to see holiday images of the team...and I know there are several out there. Feel free to share some of your faves with us! Hope you like silly puns!

I love the action in this picture Springie. I hope he is not taking out his frustrations on those poor innocent Jack-O-Lanterns.

That's great, Springie! That's one way to keep the candy all to youself!

Great job -and with a very tricky (or is that "kicky"?) pose too! I'll add an undead Joe...

very spooky looking, LB. I would be afraid to meet him if he crossed my path.

Oooo...a Joe zombie...now why is it so easy for me to imagine Joe coming back from the dead? LOL

I like, I like. He can suck my blood any time.

He'll just have to take his helmet off first... (Realizing those visors would really interfere with blood-sucking! )

I hope Ken's not ticklish on his bare feet, or that particular attack wouldn't be very successful... I never thought about the visor getting in the way for vampire Joe... I guess he's have to make it shorter!

Ah the mere thought... Being hypnotised by Joes eyes, as he purposly strides toward you/me "his eyes, I cannot look away, his mouth twitches and settles into an arrogant grin, he knows he has won, now matter how much I try and fight it secretly I know I am lying to myself, I want him, and be dambed the consequences. He stops just in front of me, his mouth near my neck, I can feel my Carotid Artery pulsing, my heart racing, and my breath is coming in fast short pants, it is not fear I'm feeling, but exitement, anticipation, the ultimate bad boy wants me, for a Snack. The bastard is making me wait...wait... I can play this game to, I clench my hands by my side, stopping them from reaching out, stopping them from running over his hard musclular torso..just stopping them. I close my eyes and try and slow my pulse down, but it doesn't help, with the lose of my vision, my other senses are hightened, I can feel him move in closer, feel the power, the desire radiate off him. I feel his cool breath against my ear. My skin is on fire, his light breath just fan it more, I try and concentrate 2x2=4, 4x4=16, 16x16 is hu?! Something sharp gently scrapes from the base of my neck to my ear , I feel a slight pull , God he sucking my ear lobe, I can feel the tingle straight through my body, my toes involuntary start to curl. I don't know if I cried out, I don't know if I stumbled, but I find myself pinned tightly in his arms, I arch my neck to give him better access, growing at him not to stop, I find the will to fight, not for him to stop...but to give me all he's got" As for the rest, I'll eave it up to your imagination and mine to take it were ever you want Have a bless All Hollows Eve

Ooh.... Littlewolf... you have to finish this!!!!!!!!!!

Littlewolf you bad, bad girl. Please finish that. Springie, great picture! Iborgia, I love the little smile you gave him. Happy Halloween Everyone!

Mmmmm, very nice LW but as the others have said you need to finish this.

LW, you are evil! We want more!

Oh my...LW, that's great stuff! For the bad boy, I'd definitely become a vampire!

' he has me pinned to the ground, my arms stretched over my head, one hand clasped both my wrist, his other hand pulls at my cloths, I feel sharp rocks dig into my bare skin, I arch up my chest, trying to protect my back, trying to get closer to his torso, it is cold and the only heart beat I feel is mine" or "I push at him with all the force I can muster, he steps back, I feel the need to wipe that smug grin of his face, we circle each other, his gait is smooth, graceful, I have to keep reminding myself that it is also predatory, and at the moment I am his prey. And that just pisses me off...I feel the need to bitch slap that look off his face, but my hormones are playing havoc with my concentration, and I feel a stong need to kiss him ,kiss him hard and suck that bottom lip, forcing my tongue into his mouth, letting it slide over his fangs, and to let him know what it feels like as I rack his neck with my canines" Been thinking about what to add for most of the day..but alas my muse just needed a 5 minute quicky, (and Joe was available) ( welll 3, 5 minute Quickes, he's got the stamina, I was working on 4, involving being pinned up against a tree, but it involved a lot of grunting and didn't translate well) it seem she's satisfied now with what was written,, obviously she needed something down and dirty, no frills, no finess, just basic and primitive my muse is very visiual and sometimes it is hard to put in words what my imagination comes up with, perhaps that is why so many of my stories are not completed and I only write fragments and she rambles a lot, ha ha

Nice! I think I prefer the second version, as the Devilstar is fighting back, but also attracted. Why am I reminded of Klingon mating rituals? The first one isn't as good for me, because if Joe is pinning her hands over her head it seems a little less consentual, KWIM?

"My body is restless, driven by a basic instinct, to have him naked next to me, inside me. I can feel his hard length pressed against the junction of my thighs, I thrust forward, the need growing stronger, blinded by the building lust, I feel like I am going to spontaneously combust due the building heat and the friction off our cloths, I know I'm tearing at his bird suit, and I can't find a way to get the bloody thing off , part of my brain is telling me he is trying to help, but I continuously swat his hands away, as I am so focused on finding the opening to his cloths, but the frustration is just making me more annoyed, and all I think is "I want!" He moves so fast, I feel the air pushed out of my lungs, and I'm on the ground, his body half over mine, my arms are pinned above me head, stopping them from their frantic search to get him out of his cloths, which, to my happiness he is doing himself without my hinderance. Perhaps he notices my discomfort or the smells of blood from the small stone scratches on my back, for suddely I find myself on top and now it is my turn to pin him down as his hands pull at the last of my cloths" TJ - How is this version?, it's rough , but more consentual, I like the Idear of the Klingon Mating Ritual (need to google) is there spanking involved? naughtly condor (spank spank) naughty naughty boy, time for your punishment (ha ha using a feather duster)

appologised everyone more pictures please

LW you are fablous. And by the way there is a Klingon Sex Manual here is the link: http://www.spiletta.com/klingon.html

LW, have you read The Joy Luck Club, The House on Mango Street, or Seedfolks? If not give them a try. They are all written vignette style. Some are complete short, short stories within a bigger story, and some are just snippets. Each has a connecting them for the vignettes, but the stories can also stand alone in some cases. You might find that with your visual style instead of taking your snippets and snapshots into a full-blown story, try to keep them whole and brief, describe the moment, with just enough before or after to make sense, or connect with the next portion. It's fun and challenging. I'm just beginning to experiment with the style, too. Not sure if the stories are working, but I'm having fun playing with it.

Dragonsbain beat me to it! Enjoy the Klingon sex! I like this one, LW! You're explaining more about what's going on and making it clear they're both into it... certainly rough, but sexy too! And your'e right, somehow I can't see Joe and the Devilstar being 'gentle', IYKWIM.

TJ--- I saw the request and said "ooo I have that". Just to tell you how much of a geek I am. In college, I used to speak Klingon.

Lovely picture as always, Springie, and a great Condor zombie you've made there, LB! As always you never let down, LW! I so missed your spontaneous, rich imagination which you so superbly write down! I find Amethyst's advice very worthwhile! A very Happy Halloween to all! This occasion is fastly gaining popularity round here ... this year I might attempt to carve my first pumpkin with the kids! ... already bought it!

Thanks everyone Found "Joy luck club and House on Mango Street" at local library, have to hunt for "Seedfolks", can't remember if I have read them. Need to re-read Klingon sex manual again, potential idears more pictures please...

I hope you have fun carving your pumpkin, Marie! Don't forget, one of the best parts is roasting the pumpkin seeds after you're done! Wash and dry them, and go for it! Everyone does it in different ways. I like to toss mine in olive oil and garlic and a little bit of barbecue salt and roast them in the oven. Yummy! Dragonsbain, I'm a Star Trek fan too! I used to go to conventions all the time... back when they held them locally 3-4 times a year. We even went to 'the big one' in Pasadena a few times (the one that's now in Vegas). But ever since Enterprise went off the air, it's getting more and more difficult to find conventions... Now I usually get my Star Trek fix at Comic Con.

Since fangs appear to inspire LW so very well...

Very nice!!!! That reminds me of an old fic... is it one Evangelina did, where Ken was dating a vampire?

snigger.. the eyes are very hypnotic, he looks like he's thinking "mmm carotid artery for lunch", and I like the angle of his head, like he's assessing the situation Alas I "don't do Ken!" and I may offend WAY to many people, if I let wrote anything , cause G1 would not come out to well and he definetly would not be getting any smut!

Oooo...nice pic, LB! I love his eyes in this!

Thanks for the tip about the pumpkin seeds, TJ! That sounds really yummy! I'm just praying that I won't massacre the poor pumpkin at my first attempt! LB ... lovely pic! I join LW in saying that both his eyes and the angle of the head deliver the right message!

LW, that was great. You might want to put it into the Rubber Room so you cankeep going. DB, Klingon Sex Manual? Are you kidding?

Oh right... and Joe gets bitten by a vampire too, if I recall. http://www.gatchfanfic.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=63

Originally posted by littlewolf Alas I "don't do Ken!"

Ah, I would! But he'd have to accept being my second choice, if I couldn't get Joe. But a great "consolation prize," I think.

Becky-- the manual isn't mine I just knew where to find it. So, don't think to badly of me. TJ-- I have never been to the big conventions. All of the ones I've been to have been in Florida. Iborgia--"consultation prize" , LOL!

Links to some classic Halloween from Diinzumo-san! Stupid Halloween Costume Boogabooga

I've seen those before, but hadn't seen the 'stupid costume' one in color. Dinzumo has a great sense of humor!

I agree...I love Diinzumo's 'toons! Here's another one of hers that I love... Me Jun...You...

I'm not thinking badly of you at all. I just can't imagine someone writing it. Dare I ask if it has pictures, as I haven't looked it up yet. I don't know if I should or not.

I think the vampire story is Nightmoves, or is is Negotiations? There might be 2 as I remember one had 2 parts. I love the pic of Ken as a vamp, being partial to vamps in my books, but I prefer vampire Joe.

I love the Stupid Halloween Costume one. The first time I looked at it, I didn't notice Joe walking off. I thought Jun had wacked him.

Originally posted by Springie I agree...I love Diinzumo's 'toons! Here's another one of hers that I love... Me Jun...You...

I get a broken linky - here is the picture!

and Ken is thinking :" "What!!?? why is Jun doing this?, have I don't something wrong?, Joe said this would be a perfect costume, Something about helping me with my bar tab" Ryu is thinking " Mmmm better look after the kid for the night, mmm maybe a few days" Jun " at last mine, If I had off known concusion was the way to go, I would have done it years ago" walks of humming to self Joe "laughter to the point of tears" oh god, oh god laughter" about f## time"

WTH is Joe dressed as in that one???????

A glam rocker from the early 90's?

LW, that's hilarious. I've seen that before and it is funny. TJ, I have no idea what Joe is. Is that some kind of ninja outfit?

That's possible, with the longer pulled back hair.

Here are some of my Halloween greetings from previous years...

I love the one of them as Team X, beautiful work as always Springie.

I love Jason as Freddy!

Teehee...the chibis still make me grin... thought I'd just break out the oldies again since Halloween is near!

There's a patern with G-2 and sharp fingers. Those are great, Springie!

Hahahaha! I never noticed that! Freddy Krueger and Wolverine! And in Diinzumo's "Gatchanyan" series, he loves having claws!!

Hee, loving all the Halloween costumes here! That one of Jun dragging Ken away by his hair, that one cracks me up every time I see it -mostly, I think, from Joe's reaction.

Aww, Carol, that Halloween comic is priceless! I remember seeing it way back when and as soon as I saw WD, had to announce out loud to an empty room, "I knew who drew that!!!" Springie, beautiful artwork galore. I love the pumpkin. We just carved ours tonight. Devin did Frankenstein, Britt did a puppy (no mystery there, and KK will finally finish hers tomorrow, Sonic's Shadow. Great arwork guys, miss you all. Take care and Happy Halloween!

LOL, LB ... the same counts for me too ... just the other way round! Thanks for sharing those 'toons, Boeke! They really crack me up, especially the last one! Springie ... I never get tired of seeing your Halloween artwork, together with all the rest! I have to say that my favorite one is the pumpkin!

That last Dinzumo pic? I think Joe is either ninja or Kerasatengu(?) Kabuto. The character was created in the 1980s, and looks like a rocker.

Is it this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIPX-wmsKv4 I'd never heard of this at all, until now -it looks interesting and definitely seems to have an 80s, early 90's rocker-type fashion vibe, plus a lot of that netting that's on Joe's arms in Wendy's cartoon

I have never heard of that character, either! Thanks for the link, LB! Apart from the 80's feel, and the similar netting and long hair, I also couldn't help but notice the logos on his outfit ... they quite resemble Batman's logo!

Yeah, that's the one. I stumbled over the tape in Blockbuster and watched out of curiosity. Looks like I found the feature film version. It's also a manga. The title character has tengu for allies, and some connection with them himself. Raven (or Crow) Tengu Kabuto. It's one of those weird ideas I've dubbed 'katana punk', since the action supposedly takes place back in ancient times, yet Kabuto has the manji-shaped Dragon Ship, and his enemies employ various technologies. Anyone notice that he has wings?

Weird... thanks for filling in the blanks, UW and LB!
