I've been more or less forgetting about Elfwood for lack of material to put up there. Today I got a comment notification and, of course, it's a troll comment 9_9. The few troll comments I've gotten have all been on Elfwood and only on the two naturalistic pastel portraits. Those seem to offend people's sensibilities or something, I dunno. But the things they pick to rag on amuse me.

And gaaaah I should really clean that gallery out, old art is old XP

Elfwood rejected my ticket. When I saw that, my first thought was "Oh hell, what did I miss?" because, usually, when that happens it's because I didn't have the search-and-replace set right, and so missed a "fuckin'" or a "shitty" or some such.

But no. When I opened the email, I saw this:

All illustrations must follow these guidelines:
a. The picture must have been drawn by you (please indicate in your story/poem‘s description that all illustrations are drawn by you) OR

b. The picture must have been drawn for you, and you state in your bio who drew the illustration, give a link to the artist(s) ....

Which made me go "Huh?? What illustration?"

Apparently the extranet had decided that the one and only illustration on that account - which has been there for years - was a new file. Naturally the moderator assumed it went with the other new file.

When I explained it, the moderator was really nice and let me put another ticket through right away. So the chapter is up.

The extranet is just screwy 9_9.

I've noticed that the majority of the flame-level comments I've gotten on my Inuyasha pastel seem to be from anonymous commenters. Not all of them - there's at least one person who was brave enough to be logged in - but still, it amuses me.

I'm also amused by Elfwood's profanity censor. Not amused that there is one, but that they still send the artist the comments as they were written. So in my e-mail I get "what the fuck its freakin ugly as shit!!!!!!!!!" but on the website, it reads as "what the **** its freakin ugly as ****!!!!!!!!!"

(Although I really wish Elfwood would stop changing the background color, especially without telling us - it makes some of my past replies unreadable)
