Thankyou Paradox Readers!
I am not sure how to package this. I hope this meets with Mod approval.
I am the author known as bartimus crotchety on fanfiction. I wrote The Reverse Pygmalion Paradox earlier this year. Even though other things have taken up my time and pulled me away from this community I have managed to re-lurk from time to time. I have noticed a few threads popping up here lately were people have recommended fictions to each other and my humble little fic has been brought up in various discussions. This has resulted in another wave of interest in a time when I have really needed encouragement. I wanted to say thankyou.
The method I came up with was an altered screen cap which I worked on for a couple of hours. So for the wonderful readers and fans of RPP, on this Thanksgiving Day, here you go.

***Context Chapter Six of The Reverse Pygmalion Paradox***
<<“May I introduce you to Dr. Sheldon Cooper?” she said waving someone through the door.
Penny had seen the 3-D virtual clone of Sheldon dressed up the day before but Sam was right, the reality was something else entirely.
He obviously had activated what he called a social interaction sub-routine, because he strolled out with a lazy confidence, and casually placed a hand against the door frame, then leaned on it his long legs partially crossed in a very slick and calculated manner.
The tuxedo he was wearing fit him like a second skin. The wider notched lapel on the four-button black coat gave him a broader looking shoulder and the coat swept back into small tails at the waist. His shirt was ivory and his bow tie was white, only true color was in the elaborately woven emerald silk vest that hugged his slender frame perfectly. The shoes added a modern touch. Black with white tips they tapered to a point. His normally perfectly parted brown hair now had some tousled touches that made him look carefree and unconcerned, just the right touch of imperfection to set off the flawlessness of the rest of the look. The entire ensemble was classy, cool, and elegant, and Sheldon worked it as if he was born to wear it.
He cocked an insouciant eyebrow at Penny, “So what do you think, Penelope my dear?” he called in a smooth inflected tone like Cary Grant, “Will this do, or do I get a veto?”>>>
I know his shirt was ivory and his tie white, but since the color was in the vest which is not in the picture I had to alter the tie to green instead, I hope it was still enjoyable.
Thanks!
