To paraphrase ...

... the erstwhile fabu, if you want me to look at your art and comment, or read your story, it helps not to just throw in random character-bashing in the product description. While I realize a great deal of fanfic apparently can't exist without the crushing defeat, emasculation, or villainizing of a non-villain character I like, I was not aware visual arts that don't even feature the character in question could fall under the same guidelines. When you draw a perfectly cute little scene that I would otherwise happily comment upon and feel the need to note that it's celebrating getting rid of said character (when such information is really not germane to the drawing), you can expect no comment from me. :-D

Oh, sure, it's your art, and you can say what you want in your own journal. Just don't expect as much feedback as you might've gotten otherwise, especially if you're going to crosspost to general communities where everyone may not appreciate your bon mot as much as your pairing-specific friends do. I know too many artists who don't resort to throwing in random desultory comments when presenting their work, and they're more deserving of praise.

*pats head* Not everybody handles sparrabeth as well as you do, dearie. Now you understand why my eye twitches so much (well ... as much as it can on a screen). Which is a shame, since most of POTC fandom is allover positive these days for all the characters - hell, even Davy Jones is getting good press.

Methinks I might have to write some fic to balance myself out this afternoon. Nothing related to this, just the fact that I've had a couple of ideas kicking around for three weeks and never did anything with them.

True. But that's so OOC it makes me want to throw it across the room.

Wouldn't be any Will/James, would it? *bats eyelashes at you hopefully*

As much as I love Willington, I've never taken a stab at writing it. I might at some point, but I'm not sure this story is right for it. *G*

Yeah - if Davy can the love, what the hell, Will?
