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

It looks like I won't be getting art for my [livejournal.com profile] 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.
