Title: Snow Characters: Percy Weasley Rating: G. Haha. Notes: First installment of the drawings for hpqfac! It's an illustration for a short drabble jadis31 wrote a while ago, Snow.
Snow. Believe me, a very very good story. Do read it - and leave Jojo a comment, possibly. ;)
Actually, I'm just madly in love with your art, and you're just good enough to accept my worshipful devotion admiration graciously. I'm a rather shy participant in the fandom-- I rarely do much commenting/posting/online interaction of any sort-- so the fact that you haven't treated me as a terrifying fangirl is quite nice. :)
I know, it's probably rather silly, but I'm just not used to interacting with people online, and I feel rather bewildered about trying to figure it out.
On a wholly unrelated note, do you have a *policy* about using your art for icons? I couldn't find anything about it in your profile...
No, it's not silly at all :) Talking to people online... well, on one hand the lack of "phisicity" (don't know how else to put it ^^;) does help if you're the shy type, but on the other, well, the complete lack of body language/tone of voice does make things harder. :D
Oh, the policy is simple enough - just credit. ;) Well, unless it's from commission work, in which case I'll have to say no, but. :P
You're definitely right about the lack of physicity (physicality, perhaps? I like physicity-- ought to be a word if it's not) being a bit frustrating-- in normal interactions we depend a lot on physical cues like nods, smiles, pursed lips, etc. I think what really throws me off about online communication, though, is how... exuberant everyone seems to be. Everyone's reactions are just so big. I can certainly get excited about some things, but in general I'm a pretty mellow person. By no means do I think there's anything wrong with people acting like that-- I just don't think I have the energy to do it myself! So I tend to just comment on things that I do get really excited over... like your art, for example. :)

...not to mention that I'm quite the terrifying fangirl myself. ;)
