"You don't understand the sacrifice I make to get fandom recognition
ELF, a LOTR convention, took place on the East Coast very recently.

One Karadin of the LOTR-Elijah Wood fandom drew a a borderline frightening (depending on your tastes) picture of Elijah Wood and his characters. Apparently she was expecting someone to give it to Elijah Wood himself, and was expecting herself written into a con report, with recognition and of course shout-outs from the fandom.

Only she doesn't.

She begins to wank all about it, crying about how no one appreciates the SACRIFICE it took to make that (75 dollar) picture, even though to this Fandom Wanker, it looks like she just copied existing pictures, and proceeds to defriend people left and right.

It's a shame, she seems like a nice person but she's being very weird and wanky about this.

Whoa, she sold 5 prints of that drawing for $75 a pop? It sounds like she got $375 for her 'sacrifice', which is more than most fans ever see for their fan-work!

She couldn't even be arsed to color it?

That's $10 line-art. I'd pay more for it colored (or shaded in b&w). It's nice, it's pretty, but it just looks... unfinished.

Ugh, I really don't care for the art. But more importantly, if you couldn't afford to do it in the first place, then either (1) don't do it, or (2) follow your dreams, you crazy starshine, but don't bitch about it afterwards.

Oh, wow, check out her respsonses to the comments to

It did not end the way I wanted. My sacrifices were never appreciated, my hurt was not acknowledged, and because they would not talk to me - even about whether the art arrived or not, and I had to ask in their journal, in their view, I don't deserve to hear his reactions to my picture.

they didn't request to be defriended, but I for one, cannot look at their entries online anymore - or even Elijah's picture, I'm that unhappy about it.

I'd buy that. In a $3 colouring book. I mean, very clean lines and all that, but... $3 colouring book is what comes to mind.

$75? Sheeish. I'm so in the wrong business.

IMHO, I'd rather pay Crystal Gamgee--yes her stuff is all photoshopped, but it was actually pretty easy on the eye, where this stuff....isn't.

'''She has told me that she purposely did not keep me informed, and I saw that she was making journal posts from the con, so I asked whether or not she had recieved the artwork on her journal.

As far as I know, this person holds all the cards, my art and my prints, current whereabouts unknown, all for the price of a single print. The money wasn't the point, it was recoginition of the sacrifice I made, which means nothing to them. They feel I abused them in journal posts, and I have apologized. The only thing they have that I could want is his reaction to my pictures, the only reason I had for doing the art and sending in the first place.'''

Duh.. wha.. buh? $75 for a print? I want to believe that it's at least printed on high-quality acid and lignen free archival rag paper.. I dunno, maybe it is. She's putting acid-free matboard/sleeves with them. But still, it's lineart. That's nuts! And here I've been actually coloring my art all these years! Silly me!

Wow, people write RPS between starts and the characters they portrayed? That's almost as mind boggling as the whole "I'm my own grandfather" thing. How does the introduction go?

"Hi, I'm Elijah, I'm from another dimension or something where smeone has written about your adventures and they made into this movie were I play you!"

"...so do yiu want the ring or are you just crazy?"
