Okay, this question is for the Big Bang writers on my flist.
A bit of context. I'm currently signed up for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
gabriel_bigbang, which has a January deadline. Here's the thing: I have only a vague idea about what I might write, and instead I've been struck by the insane notion that I might want to do art for it instead.
Now, I am not an artist. In fact, I can barely manage stick figures on some days. On good days, however, if I work really really hard, sometimes I produce stuff that I actually like.
That being said, I am worried. I don't want to inflict my art on some poor unsuspecting writer who's expecting, I dunno, talent, as opposed to gobs and gobs of enthusiasm and a lot of sweat and blood and tears.
So, writers, what are your thoughts when you find out the identity of your artist? Have you ever had misgivings upon seeing what they've done in the past and been pleasantly surprised? Have you ever had an artist whose work you just didn't like? How did that work out for you?
I'm looking for opinions, anecdotal evidence, anything at all. I'm just not sure that my plan isn't insane.

2 AM and I'm Cursing Your Name

Prompt: From![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lovedlea: “But I've been screamin and fightin and kissing in the rain.” Taylor Swift, The Way I Loved You.
Summary: Ruby has her own ways to keep Sam on the path set out for him. Written for thegirlsofspn exchange.
Characters: Sam/Ruby
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: 1,771
Disclaimer: Not mine. Playing in Sera's sandbox. She doesn't share well, though.
Warnings: More-or-less consensual, kinky het. Wall sex. Blood play. Shameless use of Sam's hands.
Neurotic Author's Note: Okay, so this turned out a lot more... porntastic than I expected. Also, I didn't actually expect to write Sam/Ruby. I was all set to write about Anna, and then I talked topkwench, and, well... this happened.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: This is the first time ever that I've risked writing a 2nd person POV. I usually shy away from such weird modernist things, but apparently that's how this fic wanted to be written. I really hope you like it,lovedlea!
Neurotic Author's Note #3: A million thanks totahirire, embroiderama and yasminke, who stepped up to beta this thing into submission. Between them, they have made this a much better story than I ever could have hoped to produce on my own.
