I got this e-mail a couple years ago and kept it for posterity.

Quote:

Needless to say...
REJECTED!

For so, so many reasons.

Not as bad as I have seen in the past...however, I honestly must ask....why would someone want a picture like that? I'm not a hardcore fan like everyone else of Harry Potter, but doesn't that seem a little...weird to ask in the first place? -shrugs- That's just me.

I know it's not the worst thing ever, but I guess it's more the gall of requesting something from some random stranger on dA who couldn't possibly have better things to do with her time than dance to the whims of fanbrats.

Seriously? It's like, the most popular pairing in the fandom. Because they argue and insult eachother all the time because of sexual tension, don't you know. It couldn't possibly be because they hate eachother's guts, oh no. They are sekritly in luv.

I am so over Harry Potter, honestly. I didn't even bother reading the last book. But I was into it back in the day and had a bunch of fanart...so that makes people think I am willing to draw some random person's otp out of the goodness of my heart. Sorry, but no. I don't even draw for my friends very often. Now, offer some real money and we'll talk.

I've seen pictures like that. It comes from knowing plenty of women who frequent /y/ on 4chan.

If not for the person's horrible grammar, I'd tell them that if they're looking for yaoi/yuri, 4chan is the place to go. Always investigate rule 34 before invoking rule 35, especially to a stranger.
