Your art really was great

Date: 2011-10-26 12:56 am (UTC)The artwork was gorgeous. The individual portraits are stunning. (I'm particularly fond of the purple robe! *g*)
Well done to both of you! Enjoy the feeling of being done! *g*
What nice things to say.

Thanks

Date: 2011-10-27 02:32 pm (UTC)I don't know if you usually post your stories to LJ in the Rich Text or the HTML window.
I just ask because a common problem first time posters seem to have with AO3 is that the HTML window is obvious but the tag for the Rich Text window is right above it.
If you have a word document where you used the word program's automatic italicizing, etc., without adding the HTML tags your easiest posting option is to click on the Rich Text window and then click on the Word symbol within that window. A clip board window will pop up. If you copy your document in to that window it will load in exactly the same fashion as your word document.
Thank you again
Date: 2011-10-27 04:39 pm (UTC)Thanks again.

Date: 2011-10-26 10:28 am (UTC)Fantastic artwork, Roven, the colors and texture are real eye-catchers, Bodie is gorgeous and now I can't get Doyle in his purple robe out of my head. ;-)
Hope you like it

Date: 2011-10-27 05:00 pm (UTC)I think I might give the robed Doyle another try, maybe a different color, see how it turns out. It still bugs me I didn't get the face right. I'm open for suggestions!
no subject
Date: 2011-10-27 06:40 pm (UTC)I'll think about Doyle and send you suggestions by email.

Date: 2011-10-26 04:57 pm (UTC)I think you've really captured one of the main conflicts in B&D fanfic - their ability to admit both the relationship and that it could be more than a passing fancy. Given their characterization, their despair and innate stubbornness is part of the package. That's a big thing to me.
Roven's artwork captures that crucial point, too - you both got it down.
Kudos to you both!
Innate stubborness is a good description
Date: 2011-10-27 02:11 pm (UTC)Roven's art really helped display that despair so well. Thanks again.

Date: 2011-10-27 05:07 pm (UTC)Yeah, Bodie's kept his independent streak and it comes out in the story; I'm glad it shows in the picture, too. And you only know what you'd be missing when you're about to lose it or have lost it, right?

Date: 2011-10-27 02:16 pm (UTC)BTW, I love the image on your icon for the episode, Blind Run. That sequence shown is one of my favorites.

You're right about the robe

Date: 2011-10-30 04:40 pm (UTC)Without giving anything away I'm just saying I'm glad how the story ended ;)
Thank you!
And many thanks to Roven for the wonderful artwork!
Thanks so much for the note
