Are You My... What? · 2:20am Apr 24th, 2013
I just found this, and i simply had to share it. Some of you will know why.
One of these days, I'm gonna have to commission someone to make my own avatar to spoof that. Pity I'm flat broke and don't have PayPal
Anyway, thought I'd share that.
Now back to the salt mines...
Well, I have basic graphic design skills. If you could elaborate on what you mean by spoofing it, I'm sure we could work something out.

Basically, a grumpy changeling wearing a gasmask with the caption: "No, I'm not your Mummy. Stop Asking." Either standing or sitting at a desk.
Yeah, I had time to think about it...
That's basically the idea in my head. I thought about commissioning someone on Deviantart around my birthday, but alas... no Paypal, and no one does anything for free these days.
You might find someone to do it for free. It helps that you put it up on a journal - perhaps someone will gift it for you! And hey, like you mentioned, around your birthday, if you put up a wishlist, you might get something. I mean, writing fanfiction is FREE entertainment for people. Some people enjoy the chance to give back to someone - especially a favorite author on their birthday.
But, you know, also, don't give your hopes up.
If you want help in how to not-so-subtley ask for fan art, ask Tchernobog ^_~
Speaking of whoring for gifts, my birthday is coming up in a little over two weeks....*goes to write a journal entry*

I don't like asking people for fan art. It just seems too egotistical for me.
Of course, if/when it happens I'll probably end up getting a big head over it anyway, and then no one is safe!
And happy preemptive, two-week-in-advance birthday! (I have terrible memory, better get to ya while I'm thinking about it )
1030630 Lol, that's okay. And thanks! And yeah, it is egotistical. But you don't straight out ASK for fan art, you mention your birthday, and you might GET fanart.

Welp, time to break out the subliminal messages then.
Give me art. Feed my ego
I remember when you first posted the Irony of Applejack. People saw your avatar and started asking you that. You hadn't seen Doctor Who though.(if i recall correctly)

Yeah, exactly
Still haven't seen that episode, either. At least I changed my avatar to something slightly less Doctor Who-ish.

It's in the first season of the new series. 7 season's in and it's still my favorite story. Beyond creepy.

Guess I'll have to find it on Netflix sometime. Then I can pretend to know what I'm referencing purely by accident!
