Comment: UPDATE 9/1: Still no contact from user and no swap received............Swap send out deadline was May 31st. I reached out and she told me that she didn't have internet for 2 months, and would send me tracking when the resend was sent. I have yet to receive anything and have not received any other communication, and she has not been online since August 2nd. I had to have this swap angeled. I will change my rating if I receive anything.

Comment: This was the scariest swap I ever received in my life! Lmao. I missed the name on the outside of the envelope and the return address label looked like an Etsy shop, so I thought... ok, I bought something I don't remember. Then I open it and I'm like... wait, I got that book I heard about on Midnight in the Desert? Then I opened the cover and was like... someone planted a counterfeit hundred in here? I swear to God I almost screamed LMAO. Fortunately the ATC fell out of the "counterfeit" bill and it calmed me down pretty fast. You are way too hard on yourself with your artistic skills! I'm about the same honestly, but 6 or 7 years ago, I'd have to trace to get similar results. I like to think of myself as a somewhat talented 10 year old. :) Please don't apologize, I loved seeing your interpretation and you legit have nothing to be embarrassed of. It was incredibly thoughtful to send the book along, too! What a coincidence that you were reading it, I'm looking forward to starting! Sorry for the essay but I really did need to tell you what happened, I don't get SB adventures like that often lol. Thank you again!
