[I thanked him, assured him I didn't mind acknowledging him in spite of his detractors, and this was the final message of that conversation, which suddenly veered off in a completely different direction. I'm redacting two names. You'll see why. ~C]

Though if you don't mind a little flak for something that stays fully within fandom and LJ - vs what I am assuming is going to be a published book that you don't want that kind of attention drawn to - I would be very grateful for a "hey, if anyone wants art, he's fast, his prices are reasonable, he NEEDS the money badly, and it's not like this shit can be 'photoshop trickery' when I have WIP photos of it being done by hand" shoutout.
For the book, I'd be fine with just a "Special thanks to A. for untangling some plot holes" or something like that.
Actually, ironically, I damned near dragged [redacted] by the hair to Planned Parenthood (you'll note they're one of our sponsors) and got her on birth control before the hike even started. She was insisting she didn't even LIKE [redacted] and that she was a virgin, I was insisting they were going to be spending two months in a tent and would either hate each other or be fucking by the end of it.

I've got her patch renewals programmed into my phone so I can remind her.

I also headdesked a hole in a wall when they said they wanted to swing by Vegas and get married on the way back, but I put being supportive of friends over being right and at least tried to help them make sure the paperwork got done properly, even as I tried to suggest all manner of awesome wedding ideas in the hopes that it would make [redacted] want to wait.

But young and In Love is its own special kind of headstrong.
