Cool Stuff

[wyvern734]

Hi there. :) I've recently joined the Human Interest community and I just wanted to tell you how much I like the art you've done.

I never knew anything about fan fiction or fan art. I just needed a happy ending to BBM. I'm so glad I found madlori's work 'cause I was in a pretty bad funk for a while.

Your art helps bridge the gap, makes me able to see the story clearly. (Good choice for Lizzie's avatar. :) ) Your emotional-scene art is very touching, well laid forth and I like your sense of humor, too. That Casablanca cover was hilarious. :-D

Sorry I couldn't find a more appropriate place to contact you: I'm new to this whole LiveJournal thing and I'm having some trouble navigating, though I'd never admit it to my geekfriends. :)

Thank you for your comments! I'm glad you like the photoshopped art I've done. I hope to be able to pick up my fanart again, but right now I'm focusing on the fanfic I'm writing :-)

(sorry, I keep forgetting that my LJ email forwards to an email address I rarely check)

Thank you for your kind words! You'll be glad to hear that I am planning to return to my fanart after writing chapter 9 of Chiron.
