Published Book?

[Galacticus]

So, gemma and I want to start doing the next few chapters at a high enough quality to print. The book would probably have about 200 pages of full toned pages, plus a bunch of cool extras not available online, such as bonus comics, pinups, stories, and gemma's sketches. There would also be more actual yaoi, probably to a high pg-13 or so level.

It would be available online, obviously, via paypal, but if it really took off we'd try to get it in stores. It would be the usual manga prize. ^^

What do people think of that? Is it worth doing?

I'd love to! >.> But there's the whole issue of buying things online... XP I'd have to use my dad's card... >.> and he'd likely go into some huge rant about wasted money... XD If it did get sold in a store I wouldn't get that lecture... >.> unless it was in some weird little store... O-o; and then dad would be like 'blah blah, waste my time going to some place, *swears, starts rant on something else*' >.> Evil... XD But I want!

i keep forgetting that most of our fans are too young to have their own paypal. ironic, as we'd probably have to put a parental advisory sticker on it, haha...

[Andyouthinkimcrazy]

Heh I could get a paypal if I had a credit card... O-o; but credit cards are a fine way to get in debt... >.> heh, I'm just too much of a nut when it comes to spending...

>.> and about the parental advisory... O-o; I've noticed that a lot of parents just don't care, especially when it comes to books. lol XD It's like 'they're reading /and/ they're out of me hair! What luck!'

I have PayPal and Credit Card, but I'm 14. o.o

i don't have a credit card either for the same reason, but i'm not sure you actually need on to have paypal. well, there's always your parents's acount.

i wouldn't say they don't care, so much as they just don't know about the questionable content, haha... my dad saw one of those stickers on one of manga, once, and i told him, "oh, it's just because it's gay. everything gay gets a parental advisory sticker - it's so unfair!" and he said, "yeah, the world's like that - it is unfair." and i got away with it.

but now i am old enough to ignore those stickers, so hopefully galacticus fans will grow with me, haha. ^^;

XO Every time I bug my dad about stealing/borrowing his account he tells me I should get my own credit card... XP 'build up your credit' he tells me... >.> and I guess that's a smart idea. XP but I don't want to worry about it yet...

True... XD Guess I'm just biased... >.> since around here it didn't seem like parents really cared... XP I remember when I was 12 all the parents would just let their kids watch all sorts of 18+ shows like South Park and American Pie... XP

>.> I'm one to talk, though... XP I actually let my mom read one of my man-porn stories when I was, like, 16... XD She was just worried if it'd be too graphic for the site I was putting it up on. lol *shrugs*

Anyhow... I'm bothering my dad into letting me spend my Christmas money online... so maybe I'll finally be able to donate to Galacticus..!

[Galacticus]

well, i suppose it is possible to use a credit card responsably... just make sure you never spend money you don't have, haha. ^^

as for your parents not caring... you are very lucky. :O i wasn't allowed to watch south park until... well, i'm still not sure if i'm allowed, but i do anyway, haha. i mean, my parents are very liberal and loose, as per most of canada and thus my parents' friends, but, somehow, still... silly. X3 i couldn't imagine lending my mom man-porn, and i'm actually old enough to read it! @o@;;

and, aw, i'm happy for you getting stuff online, but... if it's an xmas present, don't waste it on donating, haha! ^^; we're touched you thought of us, but... if you aren't getting a lot of money, you should spend it on something more valuable, and get something back with it.

[Andyouthinkimcrazy]

Heh, that's exactly what my dad told me I should do. XD

Ah! No, no, my parents cared... XD My mom still hates it when I watch South Park... (Cartman is so gay..! ha ha) >.> It was the other kids... they'd all come to school in their SP t-shirts talking about how Kenny died... Heh, I thought it was unfair because all the other kids got to watch and my parents wouldn't let me...

XD Heh, I like talking to mom about yaoi sometimes... >.> but she's like 'don't tell your father I like this stuff' heh XD

^_^ I'll keep that in mind... but chances are I'll just spend it on yaoi anyhow... ... XD

[Galacticus]

you're lucky, for some reason our mom always says she doesn't get yaoi's appeal. O.o;; how do you explain something like that? i don't get how she doesn't get us, sometimes.

well, if you must buy yaoi, there's always tea leaf, haha. X3 i think yolin's story, through the eyes of death, is pretty yaoi-ful. ^^; galacticus is, too, but... not so much in tea leaf, due to gem being silly. stitch isn't, and i haven't read the white snake story, but... it might be gay? ^^;

cartman certainly is, but... i prefer to slash stan with kyle. ^^

[Andyouthinkimcrazy]

XD My friends are all like that. They just think it's cute... that I like it... O-o; not the gay... heh :P Their logic confuses me...

Oh yeah... tea leaf..! -_-; it's amazing how little my brain works sometimes... *cough*

XD I like StanxKyle..! ^_^ Butters is my favorite character, though... ^_^ He's such a loser, but it's cute!

[Galacticus]

It is strange; all straight men seem to understand yuri's appeal, but most straight woman can't grasp yaoi's appeal. @_@;; very odd.

butters is cute, lol. X3

[Andyouthinkimcrazy]

Hmm... maybe most women tend to think "One's enough, why the hell would I want more!?" ha ha ^_^

haha, that doesn't speak very well for men.

[Andyouthinkimcrazy]

I don't think very highly of most men... XD *says the yaoi fan* Ha ha... >.>
