(PERSONAL MANGA QUESTIONS)

Would You Allow People to Make Fanart of Your Characters?: Of course!

Why?: Because, the one thing that a Manga-Ka goes for is to touch his/her readers. When a fan draws one of a Manga-Ka's own characters in a fanart, it's like a way of saying how much they enjoy the story and how much they love that certain character.

Would You Allow People to Write Fanfiction Based On Your Manga?: Absolutely!

Why?: It's kinda the same as what I said for the fanart one. However, Fanfiction works differently because it allows fans to tweak a story to fit their tastes and how they would like it, and what COULD have happened if something went differently in their own opinion. It would not bother me one bit at all, because I write and read fanfiction all the time so I understand.

Would You Allow Fans to Pair Up Your Characters Into Couples (Straight, Yaoi, Yuri) That May Not Be Together In The Actual Story in both Fanart and Fanfiction Form?: Once again, YES!

Why?: Well, EVERY single professional Manga-Ka has fans that do those things and it doesn't hurt anyone. Honestly, it's just another way for the fan to express themselves. This makes them happy and also makes them enjoy reading the original story as well. Also, many Manga-Ka have looked to their fan's fanarts and fanfictions to help make the viewers happier. However, this is mainly on just romantic couplings. If a Manga-Ka has only just started writing a story, they will often change small things to fit the majority of fan's desire. Personally, I not only WANT this to happen but also want to experience EVERYTHING that a Manga-Ka does. Also because I think that it's just fucking awesome too! ^.^ (Straight, Yaoi, Yuri, Angst, Deathfics, etc... It's all just fine to me!) Remember, ALL Manga-Ka are EXTREMELY open-minded (Trust me on that)

(ABOUT THE ARTIST)

Inspiration For The Manga?: That actually happened really fast. I was in the middle of my 2nd Block class and I was just doodling (Like I always do during my classes) in my notebook. I ended up drawing a really good picture of a dude with red hair (Hamika) and he just seemed so cool looking that I just HAD to do something with him. Then a few weeks later I drew more characters and a story began to spawn.

Do You Have a Partner?: Yes, and his name is Xero.

What are Your Parts?: Xero comes up with almost all the comedy. I do all the art work, story writing, and toning. (Yeah, I know -.-') However, Xero is also the one that I run everything by. Like the height of the characters, the roles, etc. He's also basically the second opinion that most of us want.

Who is Your Favorite Character in the Manga?: Mephis! (You'll find out why later when the story starts getting posted.)

Who is Your Idol?: Hikaru Aranaga! (I wish to draw like her!)

Why?: I simply adore her artwork, and she is the ONLY person whose art work has truly left me in awe.

How Much do You Adore Your Idol?: I've printed out EVERY LAST ONE of her pictures from her website and have them in their own personal binder. I also recently got a 186 paged Pokemon doujinshi in the mail Friday that was done by her.

Does Your Idol Go by Another Name Too?: Hibari Aida

Sign?: Scorpio

Chinese Sign?: Dragon

What is Your Partner's Height?: Um, I believe he is 76 inches.

What is Your Partner's Sign?: Pisces
