:iconmiraibaby:
*miraibaby is in dire monetary straits and is offering commissions to support her family. (Read her journal here for further details: [link]) She specializes in Transformers, but does other beautiful work as well, from t-shirts to jewelry, and it's all very reasonably priced. Go check out her Commissions Page! [link]

:iconholyfox6894:
=holyfox6894 is offering commissions to support herself and her soon-to-be-born child. Her father refuses to give her any money unless it is for an abortion, and she does not want to do that to her child. She specializes in foxes, but has a wide repertoire as a traditional artist. Go visit her journal for more details! [link]

Thanks for spreading the word about Amber and her family, and wow... poor holyfox... that's terrible! Good for you to spread the word of her condition. I'd be happy to commission her, poor thing...

Oh, thanks again for the fledgling authors feature! (hehe, "fledgling," no pun intended for a vampire writer... XD)

No problem, I'm happy to help. I plan on commissioning Miraibaby for a pic of Lumia, maybe including Skyfire. And that T-shirt looks pretty cool too. *grin*

I know, I was so upset when I read that...one of my watchers passed on the word, so that's how I found out. I can't believe holyfox's father could be so cruel! I hope to commission her as well, but I've got to spread things out, otherwise I'LL be the one giving out comissions!

No problem, I try to spread the word as much as I can since that's about all I can do at this point. And when Dorian comes out, I'll have the library order a copy.

(And I'm sorry, I haven't gotten ANY time to work on that editing you requested...it seems like I keep getting farther behind and when I come home, all I want to do is sleep. I even put off finishing an anime with only 3 episodes to go, I was so tired!)

Yeah, that shirt is awesome. I got one, they're so cute. :XD:

It's definitely upsetting... well, I mean it sort of makes you wonder how old she is too. If she's still relying on her father for financial aid, and if the baby's father is nowhere to be heard of... then, sort of begs the question of what else is going on. Still, a baby's a baby, and if it's coming into the world, its caretaker better have enough money to support it, so... commissions ahoy! (lol, that's a good point...)

Oh sweet! :D thank you! Eh, don't worry about it. I'm working on making some repairs to that section already (Tepea suggested something which made a lot of sense), but that's about all I've had the time to do, since the semester is pretty well under way. As slammed as you are, so is the writer! XD

Oh wow... that IS tired, especially for you. Oo; Maybe you should just take a weekend off and sleep, poor thing!

I think I'll go for the black too, only as a large.

Yeah, it does make me wonder a little, but, I mean, even though Dad wouldn't be happy if I came home pregnant, he wouldn't cut me off and say he'd only help if I got an abortion. That's a little extreme.

I just had an idea for another shirt. There's a picture of a book with the words "My Novel" on it and slapped diagonally over the top of it is a bright orange strip saying "Under Construction." *giggle*

If I thought I could get away with it, I would take a weekend off to sleep. As it stands, I'd only get further behind. So I try to get what I can done while I'm still conscious. And spring break IS coming up soon....*weeps with anticipation*

Lol, I wore it to the orthopedist's office the day I got my shot, and he was like drooling over it. XD (he's only in his 30's so he grew up with Transformers, lol).

Yeah, definitely a good point. But that's the difference between different types of people, I guess... some care more about their child's happiness, even if it means having to scrape under couch cushions to make ends meet financially. Others think it's just not reasonable to bring another mouth to feed into an already-struggling house. *shrug* And when you look at it that way, who can say who's right? (Lamia would choose A, "have a heart!" and Veni would choose B, "be practical!") But that only works if the baby has like, already been born, and you're considering giving it up for adoption. The whole abortion factor definitely plays a bigger part than that. It's a risky procedure, and it's so close to murder that it's just not right to ask someone to do it. Sort of tips the tables.

XD That's an awesome shirt idea! My sister's friend made her a shirt that says, "Careful, you may end up in my novel." XD

Aww.. *huggles* yes, that's true! Hold on for spring break!
