Ugh, I totally know how that goes. I'll soundboard with you, if you want, on the fic - I'm on gchat right now and will be most of the holidays (planning to write lots of fic for treats). Though, hey, there is nothing at all wrong with producing graphics for a gift! Well, I believe there are graphics betas on the beta post, so you could try one of them, or ask your flist for a beta? I mean, I'd be willing to, but I'm shit at graphics and art so my opinion is probably bad and I should feel bad.
