This is not good for my self-esteem...

[ratherastory]

So the artist who claimed my fic accidentally claimed two, and now I'm back warming the bench.

I am trying very hard not to take this as a sign that I'm not meant for this at all.

*cries*

It would help, of course, if I wasn't feeling sick and whiny today already. :P


So, uh, hypothetically... what happens if my fic never gets claimed? Do I get kicked out of BigBang in disgrace, or what? The FAQ doesn't cover that...

Oh gosh, now you sound like me! And trust me, you don't want to sound like me. :)

No worries... it will all be okay. I even think I figured out what summary was yours by your writerly "voice" and if I was an artist, I'd want it like crazy!

Your fic will be claimed! If all the artists have a story and there's still stories left, there's a second round where the artists can pick a second one. And you already know someone is interested!

don't worry! even if it doesn't get picked today, there'll still be the second round of claiming...you'll get picked, I'm sure.

Oh sweetie! Someone will pick you! The Americans aren't out of work yet and the europeans are all just getting in from work! Am sure someone will come along!

*hugs and offers cookies*

I haven't been claimed yet either *hugs* It'll happen! Plus there are second claims later I think.

I'm trying not to make myself sick. LOL

Someone will pick you I'm sure. And hey, they obviously liked your story, even if they accidentally picked two by mistake. You certainly have a better chance then me getting picked first round, Gen is *tons* more popular then Het

*clicks refresh a few more times*

That is horribly, awfully distressing, but DON'T WORRY, your fic will be claimed. And if by chance it DOESN'T (because the truth is there are less artists than writers), then I for one would be thrilled to claim it in the second round. (some artists end up doing two fics in case of this eventuality, and they have pinch-hitter artists, too. no fic is left without art)

Sitting right beside you on the bench *shrugs shoulder*

Whiny is good. Familiar. *whines*

I suspect it's more likely to be a sign that the artist got over-enthused and a bit confused.

Gotta say, after all your authorial wibbling over this story I am desperate to read it! Seriously can't wait.

"So, uh, hypothetically... what happens if my fic never gets claimed? Do I get kicked out of BigBang in disgrace, or what? The FAQ doesn't cover that..." Yup. Kicked out. In disgrace. *laughs really out loud* ONLY IF THEY DON'T READ IT!!! I have utter faith in your story to get a kick ass artist to do the artwork. Can't wait to read it. And LOL- you put one of your amazing neurotic authorial disclaimers in your summary? If I could draw, I'd pick your story just for that!

[greeneyes-fan.livejournal.com]

Aw. I'd pick yours. But my art is terrible. You deserve someone with talent, or, or, something.

Bb,it's ok....your story will be claimed!So many summaries and so many people....it's very hard to figure out how to make it work!I mean,I claimed mine but I had to read hundreds of comments to see if it was already claimed and in the meantime other people commented and...and....FEAKS OUT!!!It's a circus!;D
Don't worry,I can claim two stories you know?!;D
