On fests and exchanges ...
It seems to be the season for them. I like it. It's fun. Plus it's a pretty sure way (for me) to make sure I get something done.
Yet the problem is... it's not enough that somebody - anybody - might like what you've done, but you want *that one* person to like what you did. With art it's often the case that people state they are open to receive art ( Read more... )

And where it comes to your art in particular, I can honestly say that whoever is the recipient of anything you produce for them...well, lucky person. You just can't disappoint. You're good.:)

At the moment, it's not even my primary fear the the picture will be so bad, but more that the recipient will not feel connected to it, if I'm making any sense?
I see why illustrating someone's fic is a good idea, but imagine for some reason it was not possible. How to still make the recipient feel it's for them and not something I would have done anyway...

I was thinking: it's inevitable that when the prompts aren't really specific there'll be a feeling that what you produce isn't 'personalized' enough. I am just finishing the final edit of my story for holmestice. There are some specific prompts for the story, you probably know how that fest works. Normally, that should be great, right? I am sure you'd really appreciate something as specific as, say, "Sherlock and John take off to Scotland on a fake skiing holiday, which John actually enjoys quite a lot." It gives you quite a narrow scope and rises the chances of pleasing the recipient a great deal ( ... )
