Ungrateful/clueless recipient?

[tripperfunster]

So ... I drew something for an exchange last month, and the person that I drew it for has not commented. At. All.

Now, i know that RL gets in the way, but they've done some random postings in their eljay, none of which mention plague or famine, so I assume nothing horrific has gone wrong for them.

Should I poke them? I'm not sure how to do it without sounding snotty. HEY DUMBASS! THIS TOOK 10 HOURS TO DRAW. YOU COULD AT LEAST TAKE TWO MINUTES TO COMMENT!!eleventy11

Or should I just ... let it go?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not losing sleep over it or anything, but I've waited a MONTH, and nothing .... ... .. ...

not to mention that I never recieved MY gift, but that's a whole nuther story

I would mention it to the mods, as Leela said. Most fest mods I know would happily do some poking for an ungrateful recipient. I mean, saying thank you for your gift is basic fandom etiquette.

Then again, if they also didn't make sure that you got your gift (yikes!), then maybe they're not too concerned with enforcing that etiquette. Hm. That is really a sucky situation, and I'm sorry you're in it.

(And who wouldn't be excited to get art from you?!?)

I ended up leaving a "hey, did you see this?" note to the recipient. We'll see if that makes a difference or not.
