I know you've heard all this a lot over the last couple of weeks, but that doesn't either make it less true or mean that it's not worth repeating again (it's even worth coding italics for, and I am a world of tired of coding italics).

This art is just awesome. I love it so much. I adore Miss Badgersham, I love the chalkboard, the boys in the car are so ". . .huh?", and I think the title graphic looks great.

You've been just a delight to work with on my first big bang. Thank you so much for everything.

*congratulations* and thanks!

From moment one, working with you has been Such A Trip. You don't know how giddy the idea of joint badger wedding coordinators made me. Okay, yes, I'm beyond punchy right now - I even added some beanie babies to the title graphic as threatened. However when I found myself lining a group up, for a white-background (for ease of insertion) photoshoot (all the better to get the angle I needed) I figured I needed to back away.

Far, far away. /grin

Step away from the novelty stuffed animal fad, put the camera down, and nobody gets hurt! :)

I think punchy is the order of the day, really. And I think we earned it.

This looks so funny!
I love the animal in the dress and the chalkboard!

Very good work!

Why thank you! They're both lifted right out of the story, so I suspect you'll find it hilarious too! (Besides, there was no way I could resist chalkboard item# 5. ;)

I've heard so many enthusiastic comments from like_a_raven about the art you were putting together, and she did not exaggerate. Dean staring down a stuffed badger while Sam gets to kiss a pretty girl is high on my Thing of Beauty and a Joy Forever list.

Your art does a wonderful job of matching the tone of the story. Awesome all around.

Awww - you're sweet! And yeah, I'd pretty much decided to abandon that last image, but come crunchtime I just couldn't walk away - so I'm quite pleased it amuses folks other than myself.

BTW, while I don't know any specifics, congrats to an excellent beta! This story was perfect and hi-larious the first time I saw it, and yet somehow continued to improve each and every iteration. Go, team!

If you think this is funny, you should definitely check out the inspiration.

Oh, and thank you! :)

i'm intrigued by the badger and the chalkboard! (but mostly the badger. i mean, it's wearing a DRESS.) also the graphic with the boys in the car made me giggle.

Intrigued, you say? Thank you - that means I've done my job. (And I'll have you know that's no ordinary dress, that there is a bona fide wedding dress. Would I lie about something like that?! ;)
