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.

Date: 2007-06-13 11:29 pm (UTC)That's the second fan thing I've seen in the past couple days that was perfectly lovely until I took the time to read author notes. This one because, as you said, the picture came first, and the other was an Elizabeth fanmix that had the notes be white text on a white background for some reason. She proceeded to say she was against W/E because he wasn't good enough for her and blah blah J/E is great blah blah. I saw red and forced myself to close the page. The songs weren't that interesting anyway. >:P
