Power Out

We have heat advisorys where I live, and so many people have their A/C going that the power has been going out. The transformer (which happens to be behind our house) blew so it took them some time to fix it. Power was out from eightish last night until eleven this morning.

At least we had candles and I had my Sherlock Holmes books to read.

Thanks for Buying!

The navy shirt with Red Dragon artwork on it from my Printfection shop!

The dark green called 'Army' might also go well with the artwork. ;D

Printfection for Artists and Customers!

After trying and not liking quality or service with the two big Print-on-demand services (Cafe Press and Zazzle) I've moved to Printfection.

Why it works for Artists:
No fees! No charge for setup, No charge for keeping your site up, No tiered shops (free vs pay)
You decide your percentage of profits
You can control what colours, sizes, etc, of product you offer to customers.
No third party sales of your work
No use of your artwork as a template (No changes to your artwork by other users of the site)
Payment by check twice monthly
High quality for your customers
International shipping and payment options for customers
Shopkeeper and Customer Support
Bulk Discounts

Why it works for Customers
High quality merchandise (no peeling, cracking on tees, etc,)
Ability to chose various colours on clothing
No extra shipping charges (other sites use separate vendors for mugs vs tees, etc.)
Secure online payment options International and Domestic
Great (and fast) customer service - Easy returns
Frequent sales!
Bulk Discounts

Printfection does not offer all the selections of product of some sites, however, I've found most customers want to order tees, mugs and mousepads from me, rather than snowboards!

Oh the Irony

Friends of mine follow a com based on a Japanese anime and Japanese romance game.

Today in a com created for this show, the mods were starting a 'all yaoi behind cuts' for perhaps a few fans and or a mod who disliked these parts of fandom cluttering up their community.

In which case, members said, well, can all explicit material, regardless of het or yaoi go behind cuts, then? So it's not just singling out the boyslove set?

Mods complied, amending the post, but damage is done, now people breaking off to make their own broader based friendly com.

YAY for making the com you want to see, if you can't find one you like.

This anime was created from a Romance/Boys Love Game, this means, all the characters (with the exception of one prominent girl character for girls to identify with) ARE GORGEOUS GUYS WHO ARE CREATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAIRING WITH EACH OTHER.

So making het pairings the only 'canon' of the fandom, certainly defies one of the purposes for which this anime/game was created in its own country, hence the irony.
