erasure-athon

It's been a while since the last pinch-hitters posted, and we only have one rogue erasure still unfinished, but as it is for someone who ended up dropping out, I am going to declare this post something of a closing ceremony. I want to congratulate you all on your hard work, and thank you for coming together and doing this! I have met a bunch of new fabulous people through this, and it's been wonderful to see all of your fabulously creative poetry-art creations! Hope to see you all next round!

Instead of confetti and balloons, I have a masterlist for ye, sorted by the eraser's name alphabetically.

( Erasureathon round three: Forty-three erasures by thirty-five erasers :D )

Fandom (of original text): Supernatural
Fandom (of erasure): Supernatural
Notes: I couldn't help taking a dark story and making it darker. You've been warned...

Title: “a selfish person.”
Original text erased: "But Everywhere"
Original text by: fatalnocturne
Erased by: xenoamorist
Fandom of original text: Final Fantasy VII
Fandom: None, but you can still see Final Fantasy VII if you squint.
Summary: You prayed for this.
Notes: I did this piece of erasure shortly after I signed up for erasureathon but didn't bother to crosspost it anywhere. I wasn't assigned fatalnocturne, but I'm good friends with her and love her work; this story in particular lent itself well to an erasure poem. Contains an accompanying illustration.

One day, suddenly

I have some questions for you guys. Results are visible to all; I believe you can vote anon? I opened the poll to everyone. I'm curious about the participants in erasureathon and your processes. I'd love it if everyone could answer at least some of the questions - I know the age one is a little personal, but honestly as far as I know doing erasure poetry in a digital format is totally new and I am curious to the span of you guys's ages. I wonder if there is some correlation.

We still have three people working on erasures - keep on at it, folks! I will post a masterlist when everyone is done. In the meantime:

ETA: okay somehow when I made this I did not manage to realize it was hilariously bad in the age question part. So if your age lies on the border I would ask you to pick the higher bracket that your age is included in. Or just laugh and scroll past.

Poll #1810640 erasureathon participants
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 23

How old are you?

Are you a graphic artist (use programs like Paint Tool SAI, PaintShop Pro, or Photoshop?)

Are you a traditional media artist?

How did you create your erasure poem?

Anything else you'd like to add to your answers?

Thank you all! This has been fabulous <3

Fandom (of erasure): not specific
Notes: Sorry for the late posting, I accidentally wrote down the wrong final date. It's a touch short, but that's just because I like shorter poetry.

Title: Devour
Original Text(s) Erased: The Devil He Knows
Erased By: woldy
Original Text By: atdelphi
Fandom (of original text): Sherlock
Fandom (of erasure): N/A
Notes: Um, I slipped and made an erasure? I changed the capitalization, italics, occasional punctuation, and erased parts of words in an attempt to sort out the tenses.

Hi all,

I'm looking for two pinch-hitters to erase either of the following:

#1: Fandoms: Supernatural, Merlin

#2: Fandoms: Harry Potter, The Magnificent Seven (TV), Avatar: The Last Airbender, Tin Man, X-Men Movieverse

You'd have a week to post your erasure.

Comments screened, first come first serve, I'll post again if they go 24 hours without being claimed. Thanks, guys! :D

ETA: thanks, guys! that was super fast :)) will be emailing PMing pinch-hitters in a couple minutes

This is an erasure I made of someone's fic that just struck me.

Thanks to zempasuchil for allowing an unsignedup person to post an erasure, because she's awesome. :)
