Hello, BB!! Hello! I AM STAKING MY CLAIM AS FIRST COMMENT ON THIS POST, BWAHAHA

[sagetan]

HI YOU. I am probably spamming your inbox with all my embarrassing and barely coherent adoration. I would apologize but I wouldn't mean it >:D

I'm a huge fan of your writing, (hopefully you were not unaware of that!) and you should have seen my face when I realized I got you! When I read what you sent me, I kept being surprised by how damn lucky I was to get to draw for a fic that basically had ALL of my favourite things wrapped up in one beautiful, wonderfully written package. I only tried to do justice to the great atmosphere and scenes of the story with my drawings. <333

Thank you SO MUCH for all your sweet words, every email I got from you left me feeling warm and fuzzy and stupidly flattered. I love your writing, and getting to illustrate this fic was a joy. It probably saved my sanity a little bit, taking breaks from RL to work on art for your lovely story!

And ahahahah I think our match-up was quite serendipitous given how our schedules worked out. Thank you for being so patient and sweet with me, and for writing this

GOOD EVENING. IT IS PROBABLY LIKELY THAT THIS GOES BOTH WAYS, ONLY YOUR SQUEEING INVOLVES LESS ABUSE OF CAPSLOCKS.*

I am really just so thrilled by the way this turned out on so many levels. I have so many good artists on my flist who I've never gotten to work with, and it always makes me so sad! Now I have one less. :DDD I usually spend the day I get claimed for bangs freaking out that my artist is going to be disappointed--when I saw you claim me, it was the first time I've been picked by someone who regularly reads my stuff and I felt confident instead of like drowning myself. XD

It probably saved my sanity a little bit, taking breaks from RL to work on art for your lovely story!I'm so happy to hear that! As you well know, I was having a bit of a rough time of it, too, and getting your art provided some really much needed pick-me-ups. Except for the one that arrived on a perfect night while I was in NY, though I should note that despite having a really intense week with school after that, I still could not stop being happy and I

Thank you so much! Awww Sam indeed :D

Ahhhhhh these are beautiful. I particularly love Sam's face in the first, with his little dimple of pleasure. And his rubber gloves!
I think as usual you have a very stylised and beautiful way of representing the heart of things.

<3

[sagetan]

Thank you, that is a lovely thing to say! <333

Sam's dimples always make me weak in the knees, I do love seeing them :)

[gretazreta]

I mean it, I think you've got a real gift for realising visually the nuances of what a writer is dreaming of. It's a tremendous talent and you are AWESOME. I'm off to read the story now!

[sagetan]

Ahhh, you are making me bright red! Thank you, thank you ♥ (Of course I always manage to snag ridiculously talented writers, that might be a big part of it...)

I do hope you enjoy the story :)

Lovely art!

[sagetan]

Thank you! :DDD

I'm hoping to take the PDF with me to read on vacation, but I have to stop here first to tell you how fantastic your art is!

[sagetan]

Yay, thank you! <3 I hope you'll enjoy the fic as much as I did :)
