AAAAAAAAAAH OONA HAPPY BIRTHDAY! *omgFLAILS*

I am SUCH AN ASS. D: I don't have anything ready for you! And, worse yet, it is 100% sure I won't have anything by the end of the day either! Saying that I miscalculated doesn't even come close to describing it :((

BUT for once you get to pick your gift. ;D What would you like me to draw for you? Oh, and no, "whatever you like" (or variations on that theme) is not a valid answer. ♥

I hope you will have/are having a blast of a day. I LOVE YOU, sweets! <333333333

Incidentally, OMG. Did I actually raise $480 dollars? O_o (...also, have I got this right? Did really three of you gang up together to get the six-drawings option? :O ) Oh dear, THANK YOU SO MUCH. <333333333

CONGRATS! <3333333

(I raised $10! XD;;;)

[kasche.livejournal.com]

OMG WIFE. <3333333333333333

(People CLEARLY CAN'T TELL A GOOD THING WHEN THEY SEE IT. :O Or maybe it's because you were fulfilling requests at the same time?)

Horray!

*hugs*

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Your icon is the GAYEST THING EVER. XD

[reconditarmonia.livejournal.com]

I raised $60! eeee.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Wohoo! Yay for fandom generosity! :D

[gryffindor-j.livejournal.com]

We did all gang up together. I dropped them an email when I saw your post knew I wanted it but could never afford it on my own. trubbleclef vowed to stay up till the last minute to get what we wanted, which was 3:00am her time. midnightblue88 vowed to keep her company and stayed up too which was 2am for her. Nothing like team work to get the job done! You deserve way beyond that but lucky for us it didn't get that high or I'd be whimpering at my savings account today.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. You really have no idea how realizing that made me feel. <3333 Aaaah damn... I'm torn between wanting to start y'all's prompts right away, and reminding myself that I set the starting month as November because I won't be able to do a good job before then ;P

[ourmutualfiend.livejournal.com]

That's such awesome news Bruni!

And THANK YOU! OMG What to choose?

You are a wonderful, beautiful friend.

L, O.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

If I was a wonderful, beautiful friend, I would have had something ready on the day ;) How did it go? ♥ ♥ ♥

[ourmutualfiend.livejournal.com]

It was nice. I didn't do anything. Ni sent me cards. Last night I went to see Batman. I had cake.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

...

I am so hungry right now, you just can't believe.

AND. DON'T DISTRACT ME! Really, what would you like to get? ♥ Don't say anything like "aw, there's no need to" because I will just sigh, tweak your cheek and ask you again, so. <3333

I LOVE YOU!

[ourmutualfiend.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking it over :)

I love you too! Go eat!

[aunt-agatha.livejournal.com]

We did indeed!!! :D

We are so excited, we can't even tell you. Me, gryffindor_j and midnightblue88. I was up in a bidding war until 3 am! We were determined.

*hugs*

[kasche.livejournal.com]

I saw the time on the comments! Oh my, my, my. Thank you so much, girls. Seeing that made my day. ♥♥♥

[aunt-agatha.livejournal.com]

Also, there's some confusion. A couple of other people seem to think they won. But we scraped in at 12:01 am PST for $380.

Just for the record.

Do you know how we go about paying, btw?

[gryffindor-j.livejournal.com]

Maybe someone should check the user info for livelongandmarry before they go bugging our artist about such things. Let her save her energy for the work load we are going to put her through.

I should be nicer, you were up till 3am after all *kiss* .

[aunt-agatha.livejournal.com]

Grrrrr. But that would have made sense.

Don't you know how bummed I am? HUH? DO YOU?

*kisses back*

[loveangelstar.livejournal.com]

Yay! I knew you were gonna raise a lot of money :D

I'm just sorry that I didn't have enough to pay for it when it got higher than $100 lol I'm a poor student dammit ;)

Well done!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't you apologize! There's no reason to! After all, I'm still a student myself ^^;

Thank you! :D ♥

[tailoredshirt.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm so excited! :)

[kasche.livejournal.com]

♥♥♥!

[werewolf-lib.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, you!

I had my hopes -- adequate monies were a different thing! Ah, but at least I have my birthday spinning wheel for consolation.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Eeee, thank you! :D Also for bidding in the first place ;)

[carmine-ink.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. Congratulations!!! :D

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D :D :D

[aunt-agatha.livejournal.com]

Hey, just an fyi, we're figuring out the logistics of our payment right now, but I'm not sure where to send the confirmation email I just got for my portion. So I wanted you to know that there's a message waiting in your livejournal inbox (I don't have notifications turned on for mine, so just in case you're the same...).

Thanks! :D

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Oh, no need to send me anything - I trust your word :)

But - did you send me a message via the LJ message system? I never got anything! :o

[aunt-agatha.livejournal.com]

Yep. But they were forwards from my gmail. I can forward them to your email if you want. But we've each gotten sorted and each did $130 (or $128.67). Heh.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

I told you, there's no need for that ;) I believe you! :D

[sekhmet2.livejournal.com]

OMG...did I win the one illustration offer? I've been away for a bit and just checked your post where you'd announced what you were doing for the auction. Let me know, and I'll pay for it ASAP!!! :-)

[kasche.livejournal.com]

It looks like you did! And omg, to get anything from me you only had to ask. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

...what would you like me to draw for you, Oh Sweet One? ;) Anything you'd like!

[sekhmet2.livejournal.com]

::hugs:: Do you have ANY idea of how much I love you, Bruni? Truly, you are one of the most wonderful, adorable, incredible people ever, as well as being an artist with talent that I cannot begin to imagine having. I've admired and loved your artwork for so long, but never could ask you for anything drawn specifically for me because I thought that it would be rude and presumptive! That would be like requesting a piece from Michaelangelo or something--I mean, yes, if I was a *Pope* or something, I could request an original piece from an artist like that, but not just *me*, a nobody! You just don't do that to artists. :-)

Obviously, my first love as far as fandoms is Remus/Sirius, and your renditions of them are so perfect that there never was a question of what I would request. And, while I would NEVER ask you to draw something that your muse wouldn't lead you to do, I am going to send you the link to a fic that, if you feel the inspiration, I'd love for you to draw. This is the first of Nezad's "First Night" fics, which inspired me to begin writing in that series--Nezad, Treemonisha and I have a whole arc of stories on Azkaban's Lair. Anyway, one scene in the story had me nearly in tears for the beautiful image it created in my mind--the image of Sirius' hand holding the photograph of him and Remus as he watches the Photo!Remus and Sirius embracing and kissing--and I literally cried because I didn't have the talent to draw the image that was so clear in my head because it was just SO, SO beautiful. I had to settle for using words, because I just can't draw to save my soul.

So...I'm sending you the link to see if it will inspire you, but believe me, I will lovelovelove and treasure anything you draw for me, Bruni. As I said, you can draw the Sirius and Remus that I always envisioned while I was writing. So beautiful, Sweetie...perfection, really.

"Sirius gazed at the picture once more, smiling at what it now showed.

Remus had settled himself in the other Sirius' lap and they were holding each other close. Sirius was gently running his lips across his companion's cheek. Eyes shut, Remus languidly turned his head, inviting the picture Sirius to kiss him on his other cheek. He was smiling dreamily.

Sirius touched the familiar face of the one he'd loved so much. The one he loved still. Soon, he would be able to be with him again. Soon.

"You are so beautiful, Moony," he whispered."

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Gotcha! Will start working on it asap! :D


...and incidentally, you wouldn't be asking an artist, but a friend. You agree that that's kind of different? ;D Oh well, it's not as if I don't understand what you mean. I have problems asking myself. ;D So, next time just, I don't know... hint at it? Like "oh, there's this scene I would really like to see in picture... NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK"? ;P

I hope to have the picture done as soon as possible :3 what would you prefer, to see the scansion as soon as it's done, or to wait until the actual piece has reached your home?

[sekhmet2.livejournal.com]

Oh, THANK YOU!!!! ::bounces:: I'm looking so forward to seeing it; I know it'll be beautiful. :-D

I know, sweetie, and I so appreciate you saying that because believe me, I DO very much consider you a friend, a most beloved one, and I'd come closer to asking a friend to do a drawing for me than some complete stranger. Still...I just didn't want to seem like I was taking advantage of our friendship or of your sweet, giving nature. LOL...I will, I promise! <3<3!!!

Ooooh, I want to wait until it arrives! That way, I'll be able to see it and hold it for the first time, and I think the excitement of opening it and seeing it in person will be even better than seeing it as a scan. :-) I'm so excited!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

I'm planning it right now, deciding on the best way to take it - it might take me some time, and it will likely take some time to get there, so... try not to hold your breath too much. ^^; But I'll do my best! ♥

Aw, you sweetheart. ♥ You're so so so sweet, you know? :D
