Photo totally swiped from lachlana's LJ. XD She's currently working on him (hooves, etc), so all I've got is a teaser shot. But but... oh he's gorgeous and so worth the wait. &hearts &hearts



Ok, one more... XD



He's going to be the master mate to her Heliot, Zillah, who has not yet been shipped. Aaand he still needs a name. >.>;

When was plagiarism ever okay, and where does one draw the line between reference and tracing? There is a huge debate on the internet discussing these very points in conjunction with an up and coming artist, Mijn Schatje.

Mijn is an international artist who has received much acclaim for her digital vector art, with some of her prints retailing for upwards of $1700 each. It has come to light over the course of the past week that she has in fact been tracing over original photography, and claiming the whole completed image as a product of her own imagination. The photographs that she has been pilfering are from a very small, but growing community of collectors and manufacturers of Asian Ball Jointed Dolls. When first confronted with these accusations, she claimed to have never seen a photo of these dolls that looked like her art, but later recanted and claimed to have used some pictures from personal friends with permission. This claim has been proven to be false, by way of a great collaborative effort on the part of the BJD community to track down the original pictures and create overlays of those along with her art so that others can make a decision for themselves.

Austin Texas has been one of the fore-front cities in the US for introducing BJDs to the mass public thanks to Kerbey Lane Doll Shoppe and the Japanese doll company Volks partnering in 2004 for the Super Dollfie Convention. At that convention, Volks saw the mass demand for their unique fine art quality dolls, and opened their eyes to bringing their products to the US.

Finally decided to put him up for sale as he's been sitting in his box for months since I got him. I realize I'm not going to go through with the plans I originally had for him, so up on DoA it went.

Sales Thread

Seven months after Redeemer's end, L and his team are drawn back to their childhood roots by a series of foreboding events. Wammy's House is rife with a new generation deeply entrenched in their own biased perceptions of the Kira case, but there's something else afoot--a lurking threat, a nightmare from the past, the very mirror of L's own darkness.

But Beyond Birthday is dead.

Or is he?


You will find the first 14 chapters up here: AdultFanfiction.Net

Redeemer's direct sequel. It is still in the works, and we figure another month or so before it reaches its conclusion, but lachlana has been on a mad editing spree these last few days and we'll be uploading new chapters as she's finished with them. We're much further ahead on the story, so hopefully we won't catch up too quickly and be without updates for too long. XD

Those of you that have read Redeemer and left us wonderful feedback - THANK YOU!!! &hearts &hearts We hope you enjoy this one just as much. ;)

Oh man, the original Zelda for the NES and Super Mario 3 have a special place in my heart. XD Oh and Duck Hunt!

Several months ago I posted an entry mentioning how lachlana and I had just finished writing a fanfiction novel that spanned over 1,000 pages.

Tonight we just finished posting it up on AFF.net and MangaBullet. She's been editing this monster and we've been posting it since last month. The reviews have been lovely thus far and we're both so freaking happy that people are reading and enjoying it this much. *_*

Shameless plug time...


Death Note: Redeemer
The story takes place *after* Death Note ends, although the main characters have not died. Here the Yellowbox Warehouse is essentially the pinnacle of L's 6-year long offensive against Kira, who believes L to be dead, when he really isn't. L faked his death, and proceeded with the case behind the cover of his three top heirs, Mello, Matt and Near. Kira himself doesn't succumb to his defeat, but is instead rescued at the last moment by his nemesis lover who decides that a more apropo end to the God of the New World is not death--but redemption, in the form of a new case and a 5th so-called Kira, that L and Light must bring down together... or risk losing everything...

Pairings include, but are not limited to: Light x L, Mello x Matt, Mello x Light...

General warnings: Sex, BDSM, violence, mayhem and chaos will ensue. XD

For anyone interested, you can find it here on AFF.net or here at MangaBullet.

It is long due and even though I don't particularly post much now a days, it needs a cleanup for several reasons. I will also be making it selectively Friends-Only from now on. Just FYI.
