Ugh, I need to whine/emote/something, because...UGH.

It looks like I won't be getting art for my

holmes_big_bang because my artist flaked out and didn't bother to tell anyone that she was going on vacation for four weeks A WEEK BEFORE THE ART DEADLINE. The only way I know this is because I sent her an email asking if she had any questions about my story, and when I didn't get response I checked her LJ and saw that her last post was all "Yay, leaving for four weeks tomorrow!" And that was on June 18th. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I emailed the mod, who hadn't heard anything from this chick either, but she said she'd try to find a pinch-hitter. But at this point, with posting starting in a few days, I think I'm pretty well fucked.

God, I am SO FUCKING UPSET ABOUT THIS. I have been working so hard on this damn story, and have been looking forward to the art like you wouldn't believe. That's a big part of the whole reason I'm working my ass off to finish in time; there are so many talented artists in this fandom, and it's a privilege to have them illustrate for you. And now, through no fault of my own, I'm getting nothing. I feel so stupid that I'm crying over this, but goddamn it. I deserved at LEAST an email letting me know she was douching out on me. Gah, I could punch something right now.

EDIT: The artist just emailed me to say she's got finished art. ASFK;SDGFD >:(

And this is on top of the huge fight I had last night over aspects of my grieving being "annoying". Yeah. The last twenty-four hours have been awesome.

I am so pissed on your behalf, bb. If you aren't going to follow through on something like this because something unforeseen has come up, okay, BUT AT LEAST LET PEOPLE KNOW SO THEY CAN MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.

*cuddles*

I don't even know what to say about your grieving being annoying. That's entirely unfair.

I'm so overly-emotional about this right now, I don't even want to finish. :(

It really sucks, but you've worked incredibly hard on this story and you are so close to finishing and it's going to be amazing, so maybe you should just take the day off and come back to it tomorrow. Hopefully things won't seem so grim then :/

At least I know I'll get an awesome mix? *hugs*

I'm traveling tomorrow and will be at family stuff all day. I had planned on doing a lot of writing today, but it's like what's the point in completing a big bang without art? Then it's just a normal long story. Blaaaaaaaaaargh.

YES, YOU WILL!

Oh, I thought your family stuff was this afternoon. Blergh. Um, would it help if I wrote you a little sailors ficlet? Or maybe a little dude ranch ficlet? Or something else of your choosing? And then we could tradesies later?

*bribes you?*

p.s. I get a little heart clenchy every time I see that icon. Ugh, Watson.

You're so sweet. I won't say no to more sailors, but only if you feel up to it. ♥

This icon always makes me think of that recent fic by

candle_beck, where Holmes keeps wanting to smooth down that little tuft of Watson's hair on the back of his head.

I'll give it a whirl!

I need to reread that fic. I was kind of distracted by the weird POV the first time through, but there were lots of things to love in it.

Yeah, I'll admit the omniscient POV is weird, but I love the underlying hints of OT3ness. :D

Uh, holy crap.

WHAT IS THAT OHMYGOD! ILHIM.

I HAVE NO IDEA BUT I CANNOT STOP STARING AT HIS MOUTH.

WHICH IS CONVENIENT, GIVEN WHAT I'M WRITING.

YESSSSSS!

:D

I want that parka icon!

*stealz it*

I had it custom-made for me! Have at it!

Sweet! Thank you, bb!
