Really liked a lot of the art. Def worth a look/comment.

Why can't I see woodstarling's art? All the gushing comments are making me sadface, now. I want to seeeee :(

Re: sassy_otp exchange

She deleted, nonnie.

Oh. I thought maybe the art would still be up at the comm, but guess not. Thanks, nonnie!

Re: sassy_otp exchange

don't bother nonnie, she got lots of comments because she had a lot of friends with questionable taste. Her art was mediocre at best.

+1 I'm so glad that talentless drama queen is gone.

Re: sassy_otp exchange

[(Anonymous)]

:( While she was a drama queen, I really liked her art for this exchange. I'm sad it's gone. (Although I don't miss her too much.)

Re: sassy_otp exchange

I don't why the mods still put her entry there, or at least put a note up saying the artist deleted. Right now they just look clueless. Seriously, sometimes I think the mods over there are fucking useless.

The strikethrough isn't enough of a clue for you? I'm not sure what purpose not putting up the entry would serve. This way people know why there's no reciprocity for the recipient, otherwise they might be confused and think the recipient had done something.

What I don't get is why people are always deleting their stuff in this fandom. I have never been in a fandom before where things were so ephemeral. There's always at least one deletion from every challenge before six months is up.

Deleting gift fic or art, or fic or art that is part of a collaborative project that will leave your collaborator's contribution stranded, just seems discourteous to me. If people want to flounce from their own LJs, they should post the stuff that involves people other than themselves to comms before deleting.

IDK, when I go, I'm going to request that my stuff be taken down from comms as well as my personal journal. I don't necessarily want incest porn floating around the internet that might somehow be linked back to me later in life. Rude or no, I care more about my own future well being than I do about my collaborator's contributions.

DA You can "orphan" things at AO3, and post them without a name attached. That seems a much better thing that taking back someone's gift.

Re: sassy_otp exchange

[(Anonymous)]

That's good to know, but does AO3 support art?

Either way, when woodstarling deleted, she was obviously in a pretty bad place emotionally and her recipient's feelings about her art was probably not high on her list of priorities.

I hope she's doing better now.

AYRT AO3 doesn't support art, yet. It's on their list, but they're trying to figure out a way to do vid-hosting first.

Re: sassy_otp exchange

Ahh, saw the comm was still up and assumed the art was still there. My bad; adding a note now.

The Good Part About Hitting on Dean Winchester's Brother Is You Know He's Heard Worse Lines by probing_grays
- Really really ridiculously adorable, my favorite among the art.

Study Time by gulbrun
- The faces are a bit strange, they remind me of daggomus_prime, but love the color.

Sam's Birthdays Always Suck by callowyn
- The coloring is good, but I don't like the fire, it looks pasted on for some reason.

Just Like a Taylor Swift Song by lilchibibunny
- Note to mod, it's done by lilchibibunny for g_s, not the other way around.

Darkness Follows by bubblypies
- Powerful imagery, I like the light and dark contrast, however Sam and Cas are kinda like afterthoughts in this piece.

Perish Song by letoist
- I feel bad for the artist, it's not everyday your art get jossed.

Grounded by vicious_sock
- Gorgeous art, I love the wings and the anatomy is perfect.

v_s's art is my favorite, I didn't know I have a belly button kink until now.

Thanks for the heads up. Must've got the names mixed up when coding (you'd think the fact the post was on lilchibibunny's journal would have clued me in, but there you go)!
