Banner Requests Notice

I don't like drama, God knows I try to stay away from it, but sometimes you can't avoid it.

I make banners because I enjoy doing them. Authors sometimes have a visual for their stories and I love creating that visual for them. Sometimes, readers ask me to make banners for an author, like Sunflower did when she requested a banner for one of Counselor's stories. I worked with her in a visual that would work for the fic and we created a nice cover for the story.

But something I don't appreciate is having me for a fool. When you fill out that banner request form, you better be honest with the information you provide. Pretending to be an author, filling out the form with a fake email and asking me to PM the REAL author through fanfiction.net is completely off the question.

How dare you being so dishonest? Don't you realize the difficult situation you put me and the author in?

I made that banner thinking the ideas put on the request form were coming from the author. Imagine my surprise when the author tells me she has never requested a banner and that basically she didn't want it.

I wasted my time making a banner that was not requested nor wanted by the author. Whoever did this, you better apologize to me and the author. How dare you doing this to me? Do you have any idea the work it takes to make a banner? My guess is that you don't or you wouldn't have dared to make a mockery of what I do like this.

If you are reading this and aren't sure it's about you, the cover banner I'm talking about was for Clair de Lune by Amberdeengirl.

Because of this, consider me ON HIATUS. I won't be taking any more requests at the moment, except for stories for fandom causes and the blogs I'm working with at the moment. 

That's all. Till next time,
