I don't even know how to...

I really don't.

[livejournal.com profile] siennavie made me art for last years Big Bang.

I still can't quite believe it.

If you don't know her, then you definitely should get to know her, and leave her some love. Truly one of the sweetest most thoughtful people, and such a talented artist...I feel so overwhelmed that she would do this for me. Especially as I feel horrible that I haven't been around at all lately.

AND she made it so that it compliments [livejournal.com profile] mangacat's video for the fic too! How cool is that!




I really captures the feel of the fic for me, the lighting and the quiet intensity between them. I think it's just beautiful.

This was 'the little fic that could' for so long. I expect y'all are bored to tears with me talking about what a monumental struggle it was, but it does mean I feel ever so attached to the thing.

It was never going to get read by many people given the convoluted warnings – in a year I think I have 87 kudos on AO3 which some people seem to get in the course of a morning – plus the writing isn't that great but I love this story and it's characters, and to have someone make me something like this, for a story I hold so dear...yeah, I'm teary.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you so much to [livejournal.com profile] siennavie. You're the bestest ♥

And if you're curious about the story and you don't want to ask me about it, you could always give [livejournal.com profile] roxymissrose a try, I think she's read it more times than me ; ) I really appreciate your support, Hunny, even if I don't get around to saying it.

I miss your faces.

But look at the pretty!! : )

Read On LJ / On AO3

That is *beautiful* artwork for an amazing story. And I just might have read this story so many a few times...*koff*

OMG that's a long one! No wonder it's your baby <3 I'll have to keep it for when I have a bunch of time since I can't just read one chapter at a time.

Isn't her art beautiful?!!! <3<3 She is unbelievable. So happy for you!

That is truly beautiful artwork bb! And I feel I should say sorry for not leaving you Kudos over on Ao3 until this very moment, but that's because I've always favoured leaving messages/comments over here, and my comment on this last year was properly one of the most convoluted mash ups of soppy and awed, so I kinda forgot to go and Ao3 with it ;)

I just wanted to say something, which you can either take as me being a big ol' gushy fan of yours, or you can take it the way it's meant (hopefully the latter)

You have got to stop putting your writing down love, first off, this is a long fic, an extremely long fic, and we both know that unless it can be read in bitesized chunks, most people shy away from that kind of intensity over such a sustained period of time. You know how I feel about this story, it was brutal, and beautiful and so well crafted. I could *feel* every single layer in the narrative and it left me breathless. It left me shaking and breathless in fact! I have rec'd it to so many people, and the people who've read it have thanked me because it is a masterpiece of creativity and writing.

*eyes that ramble* Hmm, what I was trying to say was, this fic may not get as many Kudos as it should, and it may not receive as many comments as it deserves, but it *is* beautiful and well written and this artwork proves exactly that! Sie wouldn't have created something for it, if it wasn't worthy of such adoration.

Now, you can step away from me slowly if you like and start work on that restraining order, LOL!

UGH!, does the preview button not work anymore?! I posted the wrong pic the first time :P

Nope, it's a royal pain, for some reason it won't work at the mo!

I feel a little blushy now. And I'll say it again: YOU SO DESERVE THIS AND MORE (when I have time). milly_gal's got it exactly right, ya hear?

Is the picture a little dark on your screen? The contrast looks fine on my laptop and desktop, but it looks pretty dark overall on my mobile devices. I don't know how to fix that though :/

It's so gorgeous, I can't stop thinking about it. I keep fantasising that, should it ever get published, that you might let me use the concept for the book. It's just so perfect ♥ xx

I'm so happy that you're trying the publishing route :) And, of course; I'd be honored.

I love that story so much and have saved it. [livejournal.com profile] siennavie's art is going into the same folder so I can marvel over it again when I re-read the story.
