At first, I couldn't decide when to upload this since tomorrow (March 1) is the second anniversary of the day I posted the first chapter of my highly controversial (yet apparently well-liked: 227/263) fan fiction: Spike's Gambit.

I originally wanted to commission a new piece of cover art for the story… to replace the one created by DrAltruist, aka my first block here on dA. And by that, I mean the first person to block me. Yes, it was her. In fact, I know it was her.

I didn't even do anything. The only thing I can assume that I did was post a status update that included the following question: "Why pay 100 USD for a single character when you can get two or three times that for a fraction of the cost?" She wasn't even WATCHING me, I wasn't singling her out, I didn't even mention her by name, but I can only guess that she saw that post and decided to take it as a personal attack on her. What a sorry excuse for an insult to an insult to .

Also, for those of you who may be wondering why I've been disabling comments on the pieces I commission, it is to try and avoid any and all harassment from nonpersons who feel the compulsive need to shove their nasty and negative opinions down my throat, which I am barely managing to do. Oh, and to the ten of you who voted on my last poll that I should leave… you all can take a flying leap.
