Please, hear me out on this one, especially if you were planning to ask me. =/

I get a lot of requests for me to draw for people. I also get a lot of requests to join people's manga-making groups and such.

Don't get me wrong; it's flattering. I'm glad that people like my comics enough to ask me to work for them. I also love that people think me good enough to work in their teams.

However, the answer is, and always will be: No. I'm not saying it to be a bitch, or anything like that. I am honored to be getting so many requests, but there is only one person I ever want to work with, and that is ~DJ-Anarchy. He, as well as anyone we ever invite into the "group," are the only people I will ever work with. We are proud of our creations and have worked very well together for the past 5 years to come up with stories. I do not wish to work for, or with, anyone else.

As for the manga making groups...While I'm sure a ton of the requests were completely innocent, I also know that quite a few of them are not. Quite a few people have tried to trick me into giving some ownership over Kuro Shouri to their group, and considering that I plan to (somehow) publish it someday, that would mean a cut of the profit, too. To that, all I can say is: That's low. No one aside from myself and ~DJ-Anarchy worked on KS, and I have spent years of my life drawing this comic. In short, if you didn't do the work, then don't bother asking for some ownership.

Sorry for the long rant. This is a tiring issue and hopefully the journal will stop some people from asking me these questions.
