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: 2007-06-16 02:48 am (UTC)But the scenes between her and Will struggling to communicate/not talk about the elephant in the room really got to me - I liked them. While he thought she was in love with Jack, her response didn't strike me that way at all - it was more "I did something bad, I can't contemplate how horrible it was, and if I do this successfully, I won't have to anymore." And then she lost her dad, and for a little while, I was still all snarky about J/E (I mean, PLEASE - her presence is what jolts Jack out of his delirium. It's not because he's in love with her, it's because he doesn't think it odd if those other people are in his dreamscape. And when she runs to jump in after Weatherby, I notice he's the only one who doesn't follow - hell, even Barbossa chases her. How concerned for her safety can he be?). But when she met Bill, that's what did it. THAT is where Bill earned his keep, as far as I'm concerned - pulling her attention off herself and onto Will, from his POV for a change.
