People are so naïve when it comes to the publication of fanart, fan fiction and making money off it. You can't, legally. No company will accept submissions you make to them for trademarked franchises. You have to build up a reputation for good, original work before they'll consider you.

I am currently looking for fantasy books that have unusual protagonists - by that, I mean goblins/orcs/fantasy races that are usually the bad guys, or a character from a fantasy race that is usually a side kick or something. I am tired of the teenage protagonist (of both sexes), orphans who become wizards, sassy thieves, etc...

Doesn't happen often on here, but Neocities should allow you to block people properly if you want to, and stop them from following your site.

My mood today has been crap. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it turns out to be the anniversary of Misty's first pyro opp. Don't even want to check, tbh.

Yep, US sellers on etsy definitely over charge on postage when they ship over seas.

The one I am talking about is for a magazine being nearly £20 for postage. It's not right at all.

Buy something from Canada on etsy, costs £3 to deliver. Buy something from the US (approx the same thing!) and you pay £11 or more...

I'm just fed up today. I think part of it is because it's getting very close to the anniversary of loosing Jaffa and Colin, combined with the frustrations caused by other things. But the dogs are probably what's causing my mood to be worse than it should be.

Apparently, a third of people in their late 40's have chronic health conditions and I have most of them. Nice to know what I'm headed for (but it's still only down to smoking, eating shit and drinking, right? None of which I do...)

Ah, but, perhaps when you reach your late 40's, you will drop those conditions at the door and leave them behind. :)
Although I love Star Wars, I dislike the way that merchandise for female fans is either 'Baby Yoda' Porgs, or Ashoka Tano related. I've not seen the Mandalorian, with it being on Disney+ (and 'baby Yoda' doesn't appeal to me, anyway), I have no interest in Porgs because I'm not a fan of the sequels, and I don't get the obsession with Ashoka because there are many other female characters in Star Wars that I like more

but as most of them are from the pre-Disney/pre-2nd Clone Wars animation they are largely ignored.

I knew decopatch papers were expensive, but £5 for only 5 sheets when you can get more from other brands? Erm....
One of the frustrating things I find with 24th scale miniatures is that accessories are thin on the ground, especially in the UK. Today, I bought some plant scenery which is designed for smaller scales in the hope that I can decorate the front of the house with it. I find very little plants and flowers miniatures of the right scale in the UK, though in some ways it shouldn't matter because the sizes of plants in rl

vary quite a bit - I have sunflowers growing in pots in the garden (small ones) - they are the same variety but some flowers are huge, others have taller stems, others are short or have smaller flower heads. I also bought a dragon that will go in the house if it doesn't look out of place size wise.

If there's one thing that annoys me, it's the snobbery in dollshouse forums and online discussion groups. One forum run by a very famous UK based dollshouse company was destroyed by the back biting and trolling of its members, (it no longer exists because people quit using it), an American one had some argue with me over a company I bought flooring and roofing tiles from (I'd bought from the wrong one!),

another rudely deleted my account as soon as I joined it and a facebook group run by a company won't approve my request to join. I don't get the attitude of these people. With the economic downturn at the start of the last decade and now Covid not allowing fairs, etc, to take place, you'd think that they'd be happy with the customers they have and be more welcoming of people to the hobby.
I really should do some proper webpages rather than just posting here, but I don't have the time to mess around with html right now.
Crafting update: Finished doing my first handmade journal (still needs stuff to go in it), but the book is bound and together. It took me so long because I was nervous over if it would work or not and had to change the spine of it so sew the pages in as I couldn't get the needle through. It's probably a bit amateurish, but as it's my first one, I'm pleased with it. (Not made handmade books since I was a kid.)

The 24th scale dollshouse just needs the roof on now, tiles and some scenery scatter. Of course, there are still some bits and pieces of furniture and the like to get so that it's finished completely, but the majority of the difficult parts are done. I need to find a little dragon or something to give it some life.
One of the things which has been holding me back with improving on my art is not having reference material to practice with, so today I've started going through an old natural history book of mammals, published when writers, artists and publishers actually made books for kids and laymen readers that aren't Dorling Kingsley types. As a child and teenager, I had lots of books like that. Today was the turn of the
I'm going to attempt to read one of them - partly because of the subject matter, and partly because the publisher wants a review. I felt like I couldn't disappoint them. If I get around to writing a review, I'll post it in the blog section on DWN.

Well said. This is why I avoid franchises when doing commissions. Not entirely sure if it's legal or not, but better safe than sorry.
It's something I see a lot, unfortunately, particularly with art and crafts for sale on etsy. You can make fan created things and most companies tolerate it as long as you don't try to make money off it. I've even seen people complain when things they are selling have been 'stolen' by others to sell. It's really sad to see.
