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 very grateful to you, you have no idea!! You've totally made my day/week. ♥♥

You're welcome! :) I got your email and I'll let you know if I have any questions. And feel free to let me know if you have any particular scenes you want illustrated. :)

Ahaha, well, of course I am partial to their first kiss (which I just wrote, lol), but I will be happy with anything at this point!

Hey, so the artist JUST emailed me back to say she's actually been doing art and has stuff completed. ARGH. Anyway, looks like you're off the hook. Thank you SO much again for offering to draw, it was so sweet of you to offer. <333333333

Ahh, well, I'm glad to hear she finished something after all! I started some vague preliminary sketches so I might still draw something, we'll see how it goes. :) I really enjoyed your fic and I'm looking forward to reading the rest! I love young!Holmes and Watson, they're so adorable and perfect! I can totally picture them both, esp young!Holmes with his messed up clothing and floppy hair and... yeah. Aww. And I loved how you developed their relationship. And you're welcome - I was happy to do so. :)

Aww, thank you so much! Eventually you'll be able to read a beta'd version and everything, lol. (And uh, if you still wanted to finish those sketches I so would not complain. ♥)
