My turn, my turn!
To say I'm technically-challenged right now would be like saying the sea is a tad damp *g* So, please forgive me for the lack of a nice lj cut, and just one not-terribly-Christmassy bit of artwork. But on the bright side, if I hadn't managed (eventually, much cussing), to get the artwork to load, I would've had to write... Fiction. Me. Ha! You've been spared!
Thank you to everyone else who's gone before me, and to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
byslantedlight for poking us into action yet again.

Date: 2015-12-29 12:44 pm (UTC)Oh yay! It worked! You can see it... *mops brow* That was touch and go, with string and chewing gum holding things together.
And thank you - all my festive attempts at the lads seem to come out dark! But at least you've been spared my prose - you might like to make a small sacrifice *g*

Date: 2015-12-29 12:48 pm (UTC)Thank you! I'm amazed I managed to post, and so pleased it worked. I'm currently limping along on two half-working computers and a grumpy phone connection - it's not a pretty sight *g*
Hey, and yay - you spotted Dracula right off! I didn't know the quote and only found it recently - it struck me as very them.

Date: 2015-12-30 12:08 pm (UTC)Thank you ever so much - I had a horrible battle with the technology, and the finished picture isn't as finished as it should be! - so I'm really pleased it works for you. Phew!

Date: 2015-12-30 12:09 pm (UTC)Thank you so much - the quote is new to me, and seemed to fit the lads at Christmas... which possibly says more about my mental state than anything! *g*

Date: 2015-12-30 12:12 pm (UTC)Thank you! I was hoping to polish it a tad more - well, a lot more if I'm honest *g* - but at least I got there! And I do so love dark lads, smouldering away in the night...

Date: 2015-12-30 12:47 pm (UTC)Thank you! They're so gorgeous though, the artwork kind of makes itself - well, apart from the fight to the death I had with various bits of technology this time! I swear a quill and a cleft stick would be easier *g*

Date: 2015-12-30 12:49 pm (UTC)Ta ever so, luv - I'm really pleased it works for you - I've had such a tussle with various technical bits and bobs I mostly lost the plot as to what I'd actually done *g* But the lads are so easy to work with - I swear neither of them has a bad side or an eyelash out of place!

Date: 2015-12-30 01:01 pm (UTC)Thanks, luv! I loved the quote as soon as I found it, and it seemed to suit the lads perfectly - all those contradictions and layers of dark and light... oh, goodness, I wish I could write them!

RE: light
Date: 2015-12-30 01:12 pm (UTC)LOL - thank you, and yes - I meant to add the source of the quote and completely forgot, so bless [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for knowing it right off. LJ mates are so amazing, and clever as heck too! *g*

Date: 2016-01-05 05:17 pm (UTC)Thank you so much - I'm always so relieved when things work for other people! I loved the Dracula quote as soon as I saw it, and it seemed to fit the lads, that mix of darkness and smouldering fire... erm, drifting a bit there!
Sorry for taking so long to reply as well - between Christmas and a sulking computer I'm miles behind with everything - but the nearest and dearest are all fed and watered, the computer has learnt it's place in the pecking order, and I'm cautiously optimistic of catching up. One day!
