I don't know if this will interest a lot of people, so I'll try to keep things brief.

I've never been good at social interactions in general, or at managing myself to work on long-term projects. And with the ... Interesting couple of years I, much like almost everyone else I assume, just went through, I just stopped doing anything on FA beside checking artists, taking commissions, and lurking. The passive, easy-to-manage stuff.
But as some people might guess by checking my gallery (if you don't already know me through other means), I have OCs because I like to write stories, create characters, adventures, smut, all that. And throw my money at artists to get pretty pictures of that, too. And while I haven't wrote down everything, the creative juices haven't really run dry, and I have a HUUUUUUUGE backlog of commissions to upload. Which I should work on ! And not just when it's halloween. (The spooky season gets me motivated somehow, but not enough, and it happens once a year.)

I also want to give some sort of easy access / understanding of the world-building I did, without making it nearly impossible to go through / understand. Which means I need to gather the informations on one topic in one spot, and give some easy access to it. So, obviously, character descriptions will remain under the character's presentation ... But I should make journals. About what I consider a demon. A mage. A Karva. Who's god. What's with my obsession for giving my OCs trauma. And. A list of those journals to find them more easily.

I don't know how much I'll work on this or when, but ... At least I want to try. The more I'll write down, the more I won't have to try to remember with nothing by my memory. Writing down everything in english and translating it in french is a pain though, gosh. Oh and I'm probably going to limit the ... "not informations on my stuff" chatter underneath my uploaded com'. Just the credits for the artists and everything. We'll see.

The list.

- The four main kinds of energies.
- Magic, the energy of the mind.
- Karva, the energy of the matter.
- Demonic energy, the anomaly.

- The mortal realm, hell, and the demonic realm. In that order.
- The paragon's influence.
- The demonic hierarchy.
- Cultists and artifacts of tainted nature.

- Primordial magic, titans, vampires.
- Ancient institutions and schools.
- Religions.

Partie française pour ceux que ça intéresse! Probablement moins développée que l'anglaise, mais je vais tenter d'aborder tous les points importants.

J'ai progressivement décroché de FA pour des raisons de personnalité, et parce que ces dernières années ont été assez particulières, pour tout le monde, moi y compris. Mais ça n'a pas non plus mit totalement fin à ma créativité ou à mon envie d'écrire, et j'ai beaucoup, BEAUCOUP de commissions à poster. Je vais essayer de me motiver à la fois à les poster, et aussi à mieux gérer toutes les informations touchant à du world-building qui prennent une place folle sous les com', et ... n'ont pas forcément lieu d'être consigées là. Ce journal a donc deux objectifs : d'une part dire que je vais essayer d'être plus actif ici, et d'autre part que je vais gérer mon contenu autrement, ce qui commence par une liste de journaux informatif que je devrais rédiger.

Un jour ou l'autre. On verra. Je ne suis pas très bon pour rester constant ou gérer le long-terme, mais ça ne veut pas dire que je ne devrais rien faire du tout. Par contre faire la traduction à chaque fois me prend un temps monstre et j'ai très envie de limiter les commentaires que je mets sous mes commissions qui ne sont pas des informations liées à l'image, ou les crédits des persos / de l'artiste.

So, yeah. Earlier this morning, when I took a look at my profile page, I noticed that I had reached that milestone.

It's not a super important one, nore a big one, but for someone like me who uploads like twice a year and isn't an artist at all, I still feel like it holds some meaning. To each and every one of you who are watching me, know that I am thankful for your support, even if it was just "Clicking on a button" like someone said.

That being said, two things. Firstly, I was wondering if anyone would be interested if I held a raffle of some sort? It's not going to be "that super top quality nice art with my character and yours" kind of thing, but still, it could be fun! If anyone is interested tho, of course. Leave a comment to tell me about it!

Also, second thing I'm wondering since quite a while : does anyone takes the time to read the descriptions I make? I know I don't upload often and have a lot of characters, which makes it difficult to follow, but if even like 2 or 3 persons were reading the stories I try to make, that would make it worth it.

So, yeah. TL;DR : Thanks again for the watch, do you want me to hold a raffle, and do you read my nonsense?

Et en français : Pour la faire courte, j'ai remarqué ce matin que j'atteignais les 400 watch sur mon compte, et même si ce n'est pas un chiffre très significatif ou très élevé, je le trouvais assez important pour faire un journal sur le sujet. Doooonc, un gros merci à tous ceux et celles qui me suivent !

Accessoirement, deux choses : primo, je pensais faire une raffle pour l'occasion, mais je tenais à savoir s'il y avait des intéressés avant ça. Si oui, faites le savoir ! Et à côté de ça, je me demandais également s'il y avait sur ce site quelques braves psychopathes capables de lire en entier les descriptions de mes arts. (que je tente de traduire systématiquement spécialement pour ceux un peu anglophobes qui se baladent quand même sur FA)

Du coup, voilà : merci pour le watch, est-ce que ça intéresse quelqu'un une raffle, et est-ce que vous jetez un oeil aux descriptions de mes arts.

... Okay, I feel weird doing this ... But oh well.

http://www.furaffinity.net/user/yokaimilk/
First, if you have checked my gallery (or have been watching me since long enough), you probably noticed that I really love Yokaimilk's style, and ... Well, I don't have the funds to commission her right now, but still ! She's a gem to work with, she draws really quickly and most of her arts turns out beautifully ! So go grab a slot now (or at least watch her, really)

And also
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/jsa-arts
This guy just draws things a way I couldn't really describe. I mean, I could say it's super great, but I don't feel like that would be enough. Just ... Check him out, he's really talented and you won't regret it.

... yeah '-' I know it's not much, buuuuuuut it's still something, so ... Yeah, I wanted to at least make a journal about it or something.
Also, I wanted (probably once again) to thank every each one of you for following me, no matter if you're here because you already know me via something else (like skype, forums), because you like stories, the arts I commission (and sometime draw when I'm not ... ... doing all the stuff I do all the time), the characters, because you were passing by, saw a light and entered like "oh, that sounds cool", or even because of lewd arts.
So, yeah, thanks again ! You can grab another cookie if you wish too, I still have plenty to use as ammunition for my new victi ... watchers.

Also, happy "Enjoy-this-day-even-if-it's-not-a-special-holiday-as-far-as-I-know" ! \o/

HA !
YOU NEEDED IT !
YOU NEEDED ANOTHER JOURNAL TALKING ABOUT HOW FOLDERS ON FA WERE AWESOME (or worthless) AND SOMEONE TO COMMENT THAT AGAIN!

... Okay, seriously, I just wanted to tell to everybody that every "important" character of my gallery has a folder of his (her) own, now.
and yes, I made a journal just to say that :D

So, yeah. When I woke up this morning, I saw I received a note from someone.

I go and check it, and I want to respond to it.

YOU CAN'T RESPOND TO A NOTE IF IT COMES FROM SOMEONE WHO ADDED YOU ON HIS / HER BLOCK LIST

Question is : Why can you add someone to your block list, but still send him / her a note ? That's a pretty failure, by my opinion ô_o

Yeah, that journal has no other point than saying that.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16975229/ well, if you havn't, I guess I woud just have to do a sum up ?
Her house got flooded, basicly all of her stuff was destroyed, and ... Yeah, it sucks. So, if you want to know all the story (and maybe donate a little), you can just have a look ?

I ... Don't know who did that first. I took the form from Aëluvia's, and ... Oh well.

I've gotten myself tricked once.
And now I see that others got fucked too.
So I thought I would write something short to warn you all.

NEVER send payment over Paypal as friend option if you do business with an artist! Especially not if they ask for it!

The problem, is that it makes it really easy to scam you and have them running away with your money. Also that is really unprofressional behaviour. Artists should include taxes, fees and all that stuff into the pricing and not on top for the customer to pay!

Artists have to do Tax declaration and even get trouble if they accept payments as a gift, even Paypal has a rule that can ban people who let customers pay the fee.

So please be careful and don't get yourself fooled. Most people think it's just a way of being friendly but that's not being friendly... It's unsafe and unprofessional business and even easier to get scammed from because you can't claim back the money. Think about that.

Don't put yourself in danger, and artists don't endanger your customers. (Or yourself for that matter.)

Be aware about that!


Also be suspicious if someone does an super chear art sale, the page has zero comments and the last posted art is like 5-12 months old. Also just taking these spots over notes! That was the proceed of the last 2 scammers I saw!

Feel free to quote and share it if you want! May it helps some peoples.


This is a journal posted by  lipton HERE.

I don't have much to add, I've been tricked the same way 2 or 3 weeks ago, so ... Dunno, spread the word?

(BTW, if you're my scammer and if you're reading this (this situation seems impossible but who knows?) I hope your puppy will run under a school bus. Seriously, what's with stealing money from peoples who, for many of them, already don't have much? That's ... Arg, I can't say it politely.)

I don't really know if someone could actually be interested by that but ... I noticed that I do a lot of W.I.P. that I never finish ._. so I never upload them ( I mean on F.A. ). BUT, if someone would ever watch them, I thought about put them in my dropbox ... And that's it.

So ... Here they are.
