I don't need to compromise my principles because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway. -- Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes

I'm in a grumpy mood tonight -- won't go into details -- so tonight feels like the perfect night to get something off my chest here.

ATTENTION WATCHERS -- I DO NOT TAKE REQUESTS.

I mean it. Unless I specifically make a journal opening up specific requests, I won't take them. I have enough projects lined up as it is, and don't write stories on demand very well. If you have an idea for an epic crossover or character-themed story, try writing it yourself or plugging the idea to another writer. (Besides, chances are I'm not familiar with whatever you want to cross over with TFs, or I just don't care...)

Also, I do NOT take suggestions. Unless I'm specifically asking for help with a story, any suggestions on what to do next with a certain story will be taken into consideration but not necessarily implemented. I have most of my stories fully planned out already, so odds are whatever is being suggested won't fit into the storyline.

I'm glad that people like my writing enough to see more of it, but at this point I want to write what I want to write. And while requests are nice, they're something that can grow out of control in a hurry if an artist or writer isn't careful.

And about messages... I don't hide messages on my stuff very often, but when I do rest assured it's for a good reason. I'll hide a message on a journal, picture, or story if:

1. It contains excessive profanity (the "F" word being the biggest offender) and/or graphic or otherwise offensive comments.

2. It's an obvious flame -- I'm fine with honest criticism, but if someone's obviously being a jerk or a troll I'm not going to put up with it.

3. Two or more of the same comment get posted somehow. I'll leave one copy of the comment up and hide the other, just so people don't have to read the same thing twice.

Now that I'm done with my rant for the night, I'm going to go lay down and read some Calvin and Hobbes. That always seems to brighten my mood somewhat.

Requests have to be nipped in the bud. I didn't know if requests still continued or not since I had to nip requests way over a year ago. But if not nipped they just multiple.

:iconphantom-jedi1:
Requests are worse than plot bunnies, in my opinion. At least plot bunnies are things you want to write.

Calvin and Hobbes? Saw a book of those strips at my local bookstore the other day and immediately thought of both you and a good friend of mine. Got to love Hobbes. :)

Requests are ok to me, as long as they arent unreasonable. I dont draw porn or naked robots.

Beware of this District 9 fan girl! XDDD
:iconkenyastarflight:
I think every artist has a right to decide for himself or herself whether or not to do requests. I personally feel I don't have time for them, but that's just me.

Q: How many Transformers fans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Eight. One to change it, and the rest to complain that the light bulb was so much better back in the 80s.

I support well-written, in-character fanfic!
:iconkenyastarflight:
This is true. It's not that I'm trying to be mean here, it's just that I don't feel I have time for requests. That and I don't "write on demand" very well.

Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic strip ever. :)

Not trying to be mean or anything here. Just don't feel I have time for requests at the moment.
