So I'm thinking, what if I learn Japanese? I have had trouble learning languages in the past (I've taken classes in ASL and French, but none of it stuck), and I don't want to shell out the money for Rosetta stone (500 dollars for three lessons of Japanese; I don't want to learn quite that badly).

So, does anyone out there speak Japanese? And if so how did you learn?

Yunie-B (also known as Akia) was one of the first widely known WG artists, back in the day when we were limited to yahoo clubs and privately run sites like Stuffed online and Fatopia (Yunie's old site), Yunie was one of the major legends of the Weight gain community, up there with such greats as Oji-ryojoji and SketchVG. When she vanished from the scene, she was sorely missed.

But now she's back, and she's begun posting new art (as well as some of her old). And I think if anyone deserves to get a subscription to Deviantart, its her. Even if she doesn't post the rest of her old stuff on Deviantart (which, don't get me wrong, is something I'd love to see), I can't think of anyone who would deserve it more.

So who is with me on this?

Anyways, here is her page for those who aren't in the know: [link]

You know what would cool? If they did a Hansel and Gretel movie, and the witches villain song would be about fattening the titular characters up to eat them.

Tell me that wouldn't be a big thumbs up from the Weight Gain community. Our very own villains song.

Honestly, I am surprised there isn't more weight gain themed Hansel and Gretel art on Deviantart.

Not that I don't love doing freelance work for guys here and rpg companies, but dammit, I want to write comics, I want to write something that will be seen by a huge amount of people, that I can be proud of (Not that I'm not proud of my work here but... you know what I mean).

But every comic website I go to says flat out: "we do not accept writing submissions."

So I ask you dear friends, what's a writer to do?

when I first noted that someone had posted the sequence, it wasn't the fact someone had posted the comic without Sakurai's permission or even apparent consent, it was the fact that said person had the nerve to also set up the option to sell prints.

Now, there are certain situations when posting anothers art is fine; trades, comissions, colors or recolors, but in those cases its prudent to note who originally made the piece. Trentchrisman did not, even after being told who originally created the sequence.

I was even willing to give him a mulligan on the whole "selling it as a print deal" under the auspice that he did not realize he was doing it, until I went around and noticed that most other pieces of artwork do not have the option of buying prints, which means its something you have to deliberately turn on when you make a deviation.

TrentChrisman posted art that was not his own, and also attempted to sell said art for his own personal gain, and that is WRONG.

Add to it, after I made my post accusing him of such, he made two very nasty posts on my own page, threatening to report my works, saying that as a writer I have no business on Deviantart (because, according to him, "Anyone can sit down and type), and that he hoped I died a horrible death.

Now I admit maybe I was a bit cross when I made that post, but I did go out of my way to be as civil as possible, although I did say he should be banned, there were a lot worse things I could have said, that I wanted to say, but did not. But what I said was nothing to the nasty and hateful things Trentchrisman said in retaliation. He is a troll and a thief and a person utterly undeserving of compassion.

I know I can sometimes be bad tempered and belligerent; when our little community comes under an attack, I'm usually the first one to bark and bark loudly, but that's only because I care about our little community, and hate it when any of us are mocked or exploited.

In any case, just wanted to clear the air about that.

In other news, I got me an Xbox360 a few weeks ago. A lot of fun, Team Fortress 2 is the best game ever.

EDIT: And he just posted ANOTHER nasty message on my page. This one I'm leaving unhidden so you can all see what kind of person he is.

Alright, since my 5 dollar commissions didn't go anywhere, I've decided to instead do 10 dollar commissions. Here's the breakdown:

Type of Commission: a roughly 4000 word piece of fiction or fan fiction, usually depicting weight gain or TF (but not always).

Price: 10 dollars US; paid through Paypal

Example: My latest work: Crisis of the In-fat-Nite Sues: [link]

Payments will be expected before the story is finished; Stories take about five days or so to write (I usually write in short, 800 word bursts a day, finishing up in 5 days). I will take only four commissions at a time (since I will also be working on In-fat-nite Sues along with this). Finals will be posted on DA only with the permission of the commissioner.

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me through AIM (my handle is crinosg) or through email (jessiestaf@yahoo.com) or private messages.

I hope to hear from you soon!

Alright, right now, I am running a special on my commission works; for an additional ten dollars, I will write your 4000 word story, but I will do so with same day delivery! Yes, instead of getting it one 800 word section a day or every other day, you'll get the whole thing at once! For just a measly ten extra dollars! With prices this good, who wouldn't want it?

Here's the basics:

*These wont be full sized stories; 5-6 pages max, and they'll probably be just one transformation scene with a little story mixed in.

*As per my previous commissions, I will do just about anything; weight gain, transformation, or what have you. I wont do age change though, due to recent legal rulings that may put me at risk for doing so.

*I can do original characters or fan fiction, but if its a fandom I am unaware of I may need additional intel in order to work it out.

*Payment will be accepted through paypal, and only after the item is finished and delivered to the client.

*Unless you specifically ask me not to, I reserve the right to post your commission in my gallery.

In any case, I hope to hear from you all very soon.

I am officially a sad panda. But also one that is in need of a new free music provider. Could I get a recommendation from my watchers? ATM I'm leaning towards Musical Oasis, but I'm not entirely sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Incidentally, I am considering doing a writing variant on the 5$ commissions that seem to be all the fad nowadays; five dollars for a 2-3 page story/scene. What say you huddled masses?

Once again, thank you to for finishing my orphaned work.

EDIT: Sorry about advertising in this journal entry. I shouldn't be detracting from 's hard work like that. It was a bit tactless of me.

for info on my commissions, please refer to my previous entry.

20$ per story, any genre or original story, weight gain or transformation. I will work on any series, but I prefer series in which I am familiar (for an idea of what I am familiar with, please refer to my favorites gallery). I can write outside my area of knowledge, but It will take longer (as I need to do research) and may not be truthful to the series. When giving a commission idea, feel free to be as descriptive or as vague as you like. Usually a small paragraph is enough to give me something to work with, but I can also work with a long, play by play description of action.

Works run between 3,000-4,000 words,more or less depending on your specifications.

I accept payment through paypal, so please include an email address with your request. An invoice will be sent out along with your commission, which will also be posted on my deviantart page for posterity (with your permission of course).

For an example of my recent work, please refer to "Sweeter Disposition" in my gallery. I look forward to writing for you soon.

In any case, once again: If you want to see those Dowhatnow FA Kagome pics that were taken down, just PM me with your email and they will be sent post haste.

Turns out my hopes were well founded. I just spent the last three hours playing in brawls against computer controlled opponents, getting a feel for the various characters and trying to rack up as many brawls as possible to unlock everyone (especially since I suck at subspace emmisary)

so far, my favorite characters are Olimar, Luigi, and Kirby (my old standby from melee and the original) Though I will probably have more fave picks as more chars are unlocked.

Anyways, my offer from the last journal still stands: If you want to see the two Kagome WG pieces that were taken down due to the bullshittery of asswipes with nothing better to do with their time than worry about the exploitation of fictional characters, feel free to contact me and I will email them out with the quickness.

However, I suspected this might happen and saved a copy of it to my hard drive just in case. And I'm sure Dowhatnow wouldnt mind terribly if I shared it with anyone who wanted. (If you do, then please let me know and I'll take this journal entry down.)

just give me your email addy if you want to see the pic and I'll send it to you.

Have a happy!

I'm pretty busy with school right now, so I dont have much time for writing. I barely have enough time to write my two chapters of the Infinity Grand Prix each month.

Yes, Its up, but not here. Its over at Fanfiction.net. I wont directly link it, (I dont think I can do that here.) But its in the game crossovers section on the first page, check it out if you want.

I might write a one shot later, and I may even wrap up the problem with pies if I can come up with something good, till then, later folks. ]]> ~Crinos http://Crinos.deviantart.com/journal/2275301/ http://Crinos.deviantart.com/journal/2275301/ Thu, 22 Apr 2004 13:18:23 PDT
But I aint lettin it get me down, Im almost out of school, and when I get done with a few essays Im working on, Im gonna start work on my next major project: a large scale cross over fighting game royal rumble type fanfic (No wg Im afraid) Based on the uvr. (Ultimate Video rumble, which can be found at [link]) My story will follow the same system as the UVR, and I may or may not post it on deviant art. (If anyone would mind making a web page for me, Id be most obliged.) ]]> ~Crinos http://Crinos.deviantart.com/journal/2072329/ http://Crinos.deviantart.com/journal/2072329/ Tue, 23 Mar 2004 20:51:25 PST
First off, as many of you noticed, I got a new avatar, for those who dont recognize him, he's Kurasagedo, a fighter from the samurai showdown series. Kurasagedo is a Gaki, a japanese demon who likes to eat people, especially children. I havent played the game that features him yet, but I hope to in the future, he looks like alot of fun.

Secondly, Im sure alot of you are wondering when I intend to continue my DC Fic, unfortunetly Im not feeling to inspired in the wg area these days, and I have other, non wg projects in mind. I do intend to start writing something, just not another chapter to my story, sorry.

I Look foward to seeing the replies to this. Thank you for giving me over 1,000 hits! ]]> ~Crinos
