WHAT: Five quick ink sketches in return for a papo allosaurus from her amazon wishlist


WHEN: First made the arrangement in March 2010, asked for an update via FA notes in December 2011, and by email on October 2012 as well as in a journal on her FA page.

EXPLAIN: Okay, in 2010 she made a journal offering five sketches in return for objects from her wishlist.  I purchased one and sat in to wait.  For the past two and a half years I've contacted her...three times I think asking for updates and received nothing until I asked on a recent journal here: 
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50799487/stuff/MirandaLeigh/MirandaLeighSS1.png and here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50799487/stuff/MirandaLeigh/MirandaLeighSS3.png
And continuing in the journal itself: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3908827/ Dunno if AgentKira is just a sockpuppet or what, but I blocked them because....it just ain't worth a flamewar.

It's only twenty bucks, I'd accept a refund gladly. It's just..the principle of the thing. Being patient, getting no response, then..just...how she handled it when I asked in public.  Anyhow, if I left anything out, I'll edit in more screencaps.

UPDATE: Received email from Miranda : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50799487/stuff/MirandaLeigh/MirandaLeighEmailCap01.png I do not know how I should proceed.

What bothers me is how tasteless she uses her fathers death in her commissions and pleas for money. Often had I seen her use porn to pay for her fathers "funeral charges". I just could not put a deceased parent in the same breath as "pls buy my smut!".

It just makes me uncomfortable that anyone could openly use a deceased loved one in such a way. Thats personal information that does NOT need to be known or put on a furry porn site.

Yes, it's really "tasteless" to say upfront that you experienced a tragedy that drained your bank account. What would you do, leave your parent unburied? I doubt anyone wants to pay funeral expenses that way, but unfortunately not everyone has a wide variety of options. Sorry, but the level of callousness here blows me away.

I do not see it as being callous. I see it as not tolerating the behavior shown in her journal.

I'm sorry, but there IS NO excuse for her behavior towards the OP. No excuse for treating a customer like that, non, zip, nada, zero. We all have our problems and have gone through strife, and some of us can cope and others cannot. No one is discussing how she is coping. But the death in her family is not the clients issue, nor should it ever be made to be. It's none of his (our) business in general.

A death of a loved one is not an excuse, ever, to leave a customer hanging for two years (and others for longer) and then act as though they are the problem.

Again, asking this topic be done. I will be freezing this thread if it continues.
