um.
Okay. I have discovered a Thing.
So, here I was. Trying to organise a trip to Scotland with a couple of friends via text, and browsing kirk_mccoy for fic which totally wasn't a way of distracting myself from trek_exchange fic, glass and my big bang fic, no, never :D, and I clicked on a link to a fic by sarahnix.
All good so far.
I'm on sarahnix's journal. Then I notice the header. It's this (small here, I know - it's bigger on her journal):
So I pause, because it's pretty (and I am a magpie and therefore like pretty, shiny things) - and then I do a fucking double take at the bolded quote "fractured moments in between saving the universe". My thought processes went something like this: Hey, that's a pretty nice phrase. Nice and flowing. Sounds familiar. Hang on, sounds really familiar. Wait. I FUCKING WROTE THAT!
I did. It's a line from the end of sealed by a fragile touch: "He doesn’t know if this is enough-this, these fractured moments in between saving the universe-but it’s all he’s got to give, and he’ll give it freely if it means that those journals can become just a memory of a dream of someone else’s nightmare." And--if you look really closely (which I did)--the smaller text that's underneath the bolded stuff is, in fact, the rest of that paragraph, and a line or so more - from sealed.
Long story short, the header is apparently by
blue_hobbit, who has previously commented on sealed and in fact drew something for it. This leads me to the conclusion that someone's used my writing in their art.
*flails* This makes me so very smiley. But also, a little prickly, because (and I don't mind - really, I don't!), but I was never really asked. It's a gorgeous header, but (as far as I know, because
blue_hobbit's journal is f!locked), I'm not even credited as the originator of the quote.
I don't know. I'm immensely flattered, to be honest, but I'm not entirely sure what to make of this. Any thoughts? ♥
ETA: Just got a reply from blue_hobbit - yes, there was credit, and it was in a graphics post here on kirk_mccoy. :D ♥
On a side note, I just went downstairs to talk to my dad about half an hour ago, and he was watching something random on TV, and OMG SAMUEL BARNETT WAS IN IT. *flails* POSNER! ♥♥♥
