I need shine cameos and stuff    

By BabyStar, a month ago
The next few pages of shine are gonna be a a toy store as we all know. But I need some populating of the toy store.

If you want to have a chance of being in shine. (im actually looking for cubs and adults) please drop me a note titled SHINE CAMEO ADULT or SHINE CAMEO CUB. With a ref and any details that you think would be useful If I pick you (theres no guarantees as Im not sure yet how many folk I need)

But if I pick you Shine cameos are not free.

They cost 20 dollars. (i should point out payment doesnt have to be upfront or anything so long as its within a reasonable timeframe)

So if I pick you I will note you and send you my paypal details. So if you're interested drop me a note okay? I can horde them all away and then pick from them as and when I need them.

********

Also apologies for yesterdays shitfest of a journal, it never occured to me to write some disclaimer or anything excluding certain people from what I was saying I did toy with the idea of deleting the journal but then thought it better to leave it up as a reminder to myself to be more careful with how I word things. People know im not a psychologist or psychiatrist or doctor or professional of any kind, I was just trying to say something uplifting in a bid to help lift myself up as much as anyone else. But it all went a bit wrong really. I wanted to say thankyoo to all the people who noted me with their stories of pulling through against the odds or doing something amazing, the people too scared to write on the public journal for fear of being torn apart. I thought it interesting if a little sad that those with positive stories felt they could only tell me in private.

I'm not really here to be popular, if I say controversial or unpopular things or have views that dont reflect others thats perfectly A-ok. If you think less of me because of my views...thats okay too. thats your choice. if you want to re-educate me, im willing to listen and im willing to debate, thats all what freedom of speech and democracy is about, in fact I love a good debate, although try to keep it friendly yeah? Name calling isn't really called for and attacks on someones personal character isnt really debating any more thats just bullying.

I'm probably gonna say dumb stuff at some point again in the future and upset people again I think that much is inevitable, because I write a lot of junk and say a lot of stuff sometimes I can be quite thoughtless even when I think im not being thoughtless. I try to put a lot of thought behind most of my journals but I get it wrong sometimes, proof that im not some infallible babyfur artist goddess thing that some people believe me to be. Im only human, just like you. So yeah sorry if yesterdays journal upset folk, that was never my intention and i'll try to be even more careful in future of what I write.

  I honestly didn't know that the journal actually upset some people? Maybe that says something about me as a person I guess.

Also hope you get alot of cool cameos for shine always fun to look to see if there is any furs I recognise ^.^

  I think my poor choice of words meant people could misread what i was trying to say. I should try to be better at phrasing things.

  swedebrony

  Yeah I'm familiar with that. Poor choice of words can be a killer sometimes. That's why I often when writing change words for others hoping that they will imply the correct thing I am trying to say.

  Yeah, I was kinda shock to see the reactions at your last journal. Your intentions were clearly good, but yet some of these people felt the need to criticize you quite harshly because they disagreed. It just blows my mind. There are much friendlier and mature ways to express our disagreements people, there is no need at all to be so mean about it.

I actually enjoy reading those encouraging journals that you write, and I'd hate for you to stop writing them because of this.

  *nods* As this journal says im all for a healthy debate, contrasting and conflicting views dont mean people cant be friends with one another and I would never hold someones opposing view as a means of deciding if i'm friends with that person or not. It can be intellectually stimulating to tee off on one another and you can often gain a bigger insight into a topic by contemplating other peoples points of view. but yeah name calling and suchlike just makes the whole thing turn nasty really, which is a shame.

  Absolutely! I think a world where there is only one opinion would be horrible, and I love hearing other's opinions on certain topics. But I just wished people would stop trying to villainize each other for having opposing opinions instead of trying to learn from each other's point of view, because it can really kill the enjoyment of having a debate.

  babystar

  I should mention payment doesnt have to be upfront or anything

  hadesfox

#link     Posted: a month ago

  Oh? So, say I was picked for one of the roles, and didn't have enough cash until the end of the month, would that be fine?

  babystar

#link     Posted: a month ago

  yep that would be totally fine.

  You don't have a 'bad intent' bone in yoor body Star and it is all too easy for some people to see something that perhaps might jar with their personal feelings and just rant out without really considering what you were saying although perhaps you could of written it a bit clearer as I got what you were saying fine which given my problems with reading wasn't bad.
People, not just here at FA, need to try to read stuff without assuming intents and attitudes that are not in a persons words or phrases so much as what they themselves perhaps though bad experiences take them as. A sentence that isn't directly about you is several fold less personal than a person who seeing you are in agony, feeling sick standing on a train refuses to give you a seat even when asked. Now that's nasty.

  Seeing an adult Gemma in that toy store wearing that strawberry outfit would be SO awesome, especially with her lion boyfriend holding her hand. ;)

  We all say dumb stuff, or stuff that seems dumb in hindsight, or stuff others see as dumb. Don;t let it get you down.

And if yer looking for cubs, I'll take a shot at it (I'm guessing this is for the toy store, and that you don;t need "big" cubs)

  You didn't upset me

  Some people just have to problem of feeling negative about everything... Even after you explained what you meant and rendered their statements wrong, some of them repeated them with a tone that was like: I ain't going to take that.

Just know that if you have the right intend and might say it wrong, you don't always have to apologize, in this case it was clear for a lot of people what you meant, including me. So don't worry about it.

  you're fan base is huge, just be careful of any misunderstandings in the future, also I'm sure you'll get more furs doing cameos if you allow art trades as well, cause alot of artists here are super rich...

  I wish this went up when I had extra money >> oh well I still look forward to seeing the new pages ^^

  babystar

#link     Posted: a month ago

  well like it says in the journal money doesnt have to be paid up front. :)

  grayfoxgree

#link     Posted: a month ago

  Well then I will gladly try for a slot :)

  I applied for the Shine cameo so I hope I get picked!

And your AZAMING so always remember that!

  umbralfeline

#link     Posted: a month ago

  That would be so cool! I know you don't like me saying stuff like this, and making you sound all amazing, like you are, but it would be an honor to be in Shine! Even for one page~ I say this about a lot of things, but I really hope I'll have some money and can get a slot before they all are taken! I bet they'll get snatched up quick.

And I completely get what you say about the last journal. I've wanted to take things like that down, but there are some awesome people who help me through times like that. So a wise guy I know, who totally isn't me has a motto that I think could fit here. You say you aren't so great, when everyone loves you. Just like when an artist says, "yeah, this drawing turned out awful." And everyone ends up loving it. But here it is: "Artists are more critical of their own work." I think that can be applied to what we think of ourselves too.

  pinghazard

#link     Posted: a month ago

  Yeah... I'm having trouble eating right now... If I got a slot the earliest I'd be able to get you some money is August or November. I doubt that is a reasonable time frame. XD

Anyway, the last few Shine pages have been somewhat... lackluster if you ask me. It feels like you're trying too hard to be funny with Lure and we're not really getting to see his personality very much, or Star's for that matter. Who Star is came out so clearly in the early pages, so it's a bit disappointing.

  HAHA well thanks for bing honest I guess...though I don't really think I was trying to be funny. Sorry you're not enjoying the comic

  pinghazard

  I'm definitely still enjoying it, but somewhat less in recent pages.

  I actually had to re-read your last journal to know what you were talking about. ("Shitfest of a journal? What?") After re-reading it a few times, I can understand why somebody might be offended about it, but honestly? I wish people were not so easily offended by everything.

(to be honest, I would have said "Can't/won't/shouldn't", but that's just me) (shouldn't means a person could do something, but it would have bad consequences)

Did I just get pre-approved for a loan?

  Though ur last journal did rub me the wrong way, i just simply decided not to comment on it. I figured it was just poorly worded, but i didnt expect people to get that angry though i can see where the misunderstanding was

in anycase, anything related to shine is exciting, cant wait for more updates
