I really want to upgrade #VA-alliance to a super group and need points to do so! Setting an easier target to start with so I can see if this is an achievable goal :P

NOTE ME FOR COMMISSIONS <3

For normal style: 10-15 :points: per character
For chibi style: 5 :points: per character
Simple backgrounds +7 :points:

Smutty pictures will cost you extra ;)

I reserve the right to refuse commissions... I won't draw OCs that I feel aren't realistic or original. Some of my pet peeves with OCs include:
-Clones of canon characters
-Animal ears
-OCs based on their creators

Writing commissions
Short one-shots (up to 5 pages): 20 :points:
Longer one-shots (up to 12 pages): 30-40 :points:

I'm opening writing commissions to give myself extra practice so I'm only going to do them based on characters/subjects I haven't written about before (e.g. I'm happy to write for a subject I've already done if it's a new character like Matsuda for example). Again, I will only write for OCs that I like the sound of. Note me for more details.

Also I will never in a million years write a reader insert story. That is just the lazy way to get out of creating original characters.

EDIT Copycat issue ~ ''Save Ritchie'' Campaign

Journal Entry: Mon Apr 8, 2013, 8:04 AM
Right. So I thought the issues with my copycat had been resolved, but apparently not... I received a review last night from someone saying that they'd seen the girl's story posted on another site too. Sadly it was a guest review and I couldn't reply to it to find out what site. I've been searching around but haven't been able to locate it.

EDIT: So I just found this [link]

This is my story completely word-for-word right down to the title and the summary. It's literally been copied off one of my accounts and uploaded on a website under somebody else's name. This is even WORSE than the issues I've been having so far. Really can't say just yet if it's the same person I've been having trouble with already, but this is just getting ridiculous!


Sorry for the journal spam about this lately, but this whole thing has really taken a huge hit on my confidence. This morning I genuinely felt that my only option was to take down all my stories and not continue them. I was actually planning to do that when I got home from work.

But then one of my best friends pointed out that that would be letting the copycat win... And I really don't want her to win. She's a thief and a poor excuse for a writer and she doesn't deserve any of the credit she's getting for her so-called story (which I technically should be getting instead!)

So my friend helped me come up with this idea:
The "SAVE RITCHIE" campaign.

I'm basically gonna do everything that I can to flag this up to as many people as possible. Who knows how many more accounts this girl will make, or how many other sites she'll use, to keep re-uploading this story that she's copied from my own... So with more people in the know if I don't spot any of these other accounts then hopefully somebody else WILL and will be able to pass the message onto me, like the review I got from last night.

So I'm going to post notices EVERYWHERE - on every chapter update, every DRRR related drawing, every site I have profiles on... I'm going to do "campaign" drawings and things too. Anything I can to basically just make more of a scene and make more people take notice. My readers have been amazing with this whole thing so far, so I know that the more people who know about this, the merrier!

If anyone out there could help me spread the word I would be seriously grateful (and hey, if there's anyone out there who's good at making stamps and things then thatcould help too ;) Having some "Save Ritchie" stuff would be awesome!)

I know some of you may think I'm taking this a little too far but I genuinely don't care by this point. I bust my ass trying to created unique characters and writing originally plotlines into my stories... So the fact that somebody can just bypass all of that and just steal everything I've made for myself makes me fume. I don't want to give up. I don't want this crappy excuse of a writer to get away with it. I've been quite pleasant with her considering the circumstances and I gave her the chance to take down the story and leave it at that... But no. She still had to go and try to sneakily upload it elsewhere too.

You don't have to help spread the word if you don't want to, but even if you can just read through all of this and keep an eye out for the story elsewhere (and then let me know if you do find anything ofc) then that would help me out so much!

For those of you who don't know what to look for, this is as much as I can tell you...

:bulletred: So far I've seen her go by the names ThatStrawberryOkami, thewonderlandblues and recklessranger. Since she's been making new accounts to try and do this under the radar she probably won't use the same names again, but these are just ones to look out for especially.
:bulletred: The story is an Izaya/OC Durarara!! fanfiction. I've seen it called both "Mutual Affection" and "Affectionated Rush". Again, she may still change the title though.
:bulletred: Her character is a total rip-off of Ritchie. Last I saw she was called Lisa "Baby" Lorenzo, but before that she was called either Lumine or Lumina something (can't remember which it was the first time round). But AGAIN she may keep changing the character's name so she's not as easy to find.
:bulletred: Both times I've seen her upload the story the summary she's used has been incredibly similar to mine. So if you read one that sounds familiar then it could be a bit suspicious, so let me know. This is the summary that I always use for my story: Ritchie Honda is a 22-year-old stage dancer with a pretty well-known reputation and a taste for trouble. After meeting the devil of Ikebukuro her life takes an interesting turn into the city's underworld as it becomes a constant fight for control. Izaya/OC
:bulletred: If you ever read anything that sounds even remotely like it could be copied from my story then please tell me. This is the link to my actual story that she's been copying off so far [Casual Encounters]

The artwork and things that I plan on putting up for this campaign will predominantly be put across just as silly and humorous, because I don't want people to think I'm going crazy over this and getting all on my high horse about it. But the message behind it is still deadly serious. I do NOT appreciate being copied and I'll do whatever I can to stop it from happening again.

For anyone who doesn't know the whole story of where this copying issue started you can find more info in these journals [link] [link]

Whether it's artwork, stamps, journals, links back to this journal, or simpling passing along the message in any other way I will be eternally grateful for any support you can give me on this :heart:

I want to keep Ritchie and her story alive, but at the same time I'm loathed to give this girl any new material to steal. So let's get her out of the picture!

Thanks for your support! :hug:
