waited for doll updates for nearly two years (UPDATE)

(as much as I felt bad about doing this)

WHO: usako-chan

WHERE: http://usako-chan.deviantart.com/
http://www.professionallycute.com

WHAT: two plush dolls

WHEN: since 2009

PROOF: I paid her for the plush dolls via checks. I’ve waited patiently for her to work on them

almost two years later, I almost forgot that I’m still owed the dolls from her, so I checked on her to-do list and found out my dolls are completed (or are they?)

I pm’d her on DA (but she didn’t checked them)

I reminded her about it on Twitter

I’ve read on the disclaimer on her journal that says don’t send her any DA notes; only send her emails (which makes sense). So I went ahead and emailed her, asking her about my dolls
http://i52.tinypic.com/e8og81.png (my email)

But I got no response so far

EXPLAIN: I absolutely adore how she does plush dolls and I respect her craftsmanship, etc. but it’s been almost two years and I hadn’t received photos of my dolls yet whatsoever. I don’t wanna get screwed over by her ‘cause she’s a great doll maker (though I do understand that she’s busy with life issues and RL). She seems to update stuff on her Twitter, but I felt like she's ignoring me for some reason


I'm not writing this as a beware or to let her down. All I need is some words of advice of what to do

this will be updated as soon as she gets back to me eventually

ETA: according to this journal http://curious-nono.livejournal.com/41931.html my dolls are finished! I'm so happy to see them done and they look fantastic. That said, everything's as good as resolved!

Huh, I wonder if this is the same Usakochan who takes custom Pokeplush slots on [livejournal.com profile] pkmncollectors? She just had an auction for a new slot last week. Let me check her LJ

Oh, also... does she list her real name on her DA? If not, please remove it from the post. Thanks.

Her real name is on her DevArt profile.

Totally off-topic here, but you're the only person I've ever seen with an icon from We3. I really dig it.

Hah! Thanks. The world needs more WE3...except for the alleged movie that's apparently coming out.
It's ok to cry, I'll hold you.

Ah, looks like it is the same. Her LJ is [livejournal.com profile] usakochan.

Do you have any dates for when you tried to contact her? Sorry for being a little nitpicky. :

[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com 2011-04-28 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
she has completed your plush and posted pictures of them in her project blog: [livejournal.com profile] curious_nono. sometimes it takes her a bit to reply to emails but she wouldn't take money and run. :\ i am a returning customer of hers.

kolos (http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb114/GymLeaderUsa/kolos_front.jpg)

i assume these are yours by the names you gave in the dA notes...

[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com 2011-04-28 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
also she always emails me when she finishes a project, so i am assuming since your email changed she was unable to contact you...?

i don't know. :(

Did you want me to mark this as resolved, or did you want to play it safe and wait until you have the dolls?
