December 14th, 2006: le gasp! I iz not ded!
Heh. Yeah, I'm still around, lurking, but not really participating on Gaia anymore. ^^; It's hard to do other things when you main occupation on Gaia was avatar editing...
Which brings me to the point of this update: I may be coming back earlier than I thought. My parents are pretty happy with how my GPA's rising, and they've allowed me back on the internet. However, I don't want to get tempted to slack off and go on Gaia all the time. So, I'm going to wait until I get myself secure with my grades before chilling out on Gaia like I used to.

Be patient, my lovelies. I'll be back soon. heart

October 20th, 2006: I regret having to do this, but I'm going to be going on a long, long hiatus. x_x;

The situation is, as of right now, that my grades have been unsatisfactory according to my parents. With my current GPA, I'm in danger of not graduating in June as they had expected.
So, until my grades pick up and my parents are assured I will graduate with the class of 2007, I will not be able to go online. Which leads me to the reason for this update...
With very limited or no access to the Internet, I will not be able to complete orders in an even semi-decent timeframe. So, I'm closing. This is just so my customers won't be waiting for months to get their edits.

For any of you who currently have orders with me, please cancel the trades. I won't be able to get to them anytime soon. sweatdrop

Thank you. See you all in June, hopefully.

I know you all hate rules, but I got to have them or else this shop would be total chaos, and I'd be forced to kill people. Which isn't good.
Anyone found breaking these rules are blacklisted/greylisted depending on severity.

1. Don't send a trade without posting an order form first! If I see you doing this, I'll just cancel your trade, thinking you made a mistake.
2. No cybering.
3. No insulting my me or any of my friends.
4. No insulting my edits. Constructive criticism is fine, though. :3
5. These are for display purposes only. These outfits are not equippable by your actual Gaian avatar. These are for your signature/journal entries/posts, etc.
6. No stealing the samples!
7. No PMing/YMing me orders.
8. Please put what page your order is on in the trade title.
9. No altering my work! Do not change my edits in any way, shape, or form. If there's a problem with your edit, or there's something you'd like changed, tell me. I'll be glad to do it. But don't do it yourself. I might have to report/blacklist you.
1O. Do not remove my signature from my edits, under any circumstances. This includes purchasing avatar edit clothing, for wig-bases, that may cover up my signature. If my signature gets covered-up, even if it's possibly accidental, I will be on your case about it. The signature can be moved around, and/or recolored, but cannot be removed.
11. Do not quote any of the first page posts. Especially any of the samples posts. I will blacklist you if you don't remove the offending quote in a timely fashion.
12. I am likely to make mistakes. I'm not perfect. So don't b***h at me if I don't get your order right the first time. Do so, and I'll blacklist your a** on the spot. >P
13. Above all else, follow Gaia's T.O.S.! That's what it's there for.
Anything else, as I think of them, will be placed here.

Follow the rules, and I won't have to kill you. xX;;

User Image
1. Browse through my shop, and if you find anything you like, type down what you want and post it on the thread.*
Calculate the total yourself, and post it as well. I will double-check the total for you, if you'd like.
2. Provide me an image of an unclothed avatar in the order as well.
3. Begin the trade with me, Celestina Daratrazanoff, and in the trade title, state what page your order is on.
4. Wait patiently for your order to be filled, and watch for a trade notification.
5. Confirm the trade, and as soon as I see the trade has been completed, the outfit(s) will be PMed to you as soon as possible. (PLEASE HAVE YOUR PM'S ENABLED!)

*Example of a Good Order Form
Celestina Daratrazanoff
I'd like the Sapphire Rhapsody Gown. Recolour the blue part to a darker blue, to match the bow on the base, please. Leave the necklace on the finished edit, as well.
Total is 125g. Sending trade now.
Here's the base to use;

Example of a Bad Order Form
some random person

Easy enough. Got it? Good.

Do not PM me for anything, unless your PMail involves the following:
arrow Asking to be an affiliate.
arrow Ordering a surprise gift edit for a friend/loved one, and you wish for them not to know.
arrow Asking me a question that is not in the F.A.Q.


Alright, enough about the rules! Onward!

So, you didn't find anything you liked in my showroom? That's unfortunate, but if you'd like, I can make a special design for you. The price of a custom can run from 200g for simple Gaia Item recolor, to 15k for intricate, crazily-detailed scene edits.

Once you place an order for a custom, that design is excluseively yours for two weeks. After that, I will place it here, for sale to the public. You may, of course, keep the edit for yourself if you still want it after two weeks. ;D
This is so that you can have your very own creation by me, all to yourself for a while.
I will not, however, place OCs up for sale unless the user gives me permission.

To actually get one of my customs, you'll either have to win an auction or bribe me with gold/items. I once made my customs readily available, and consequently, I'd get scary requests that were worth a lot more than what I had priced a custom for. So, yeah. Bribe or win.

Customs are available only through winning auctions or bribing me. Please do not ask for a Custom unless you have fulfilled either of those conditions. Thank you.

This is where I will list all my lovely customers who have ordered from me. I thank you very much for purchasing from me!
If you purchased an edit from me, and your name isn't here, please notify me by PM as soon as possible.

I did not carry over any names from my previous list, so if you ordered from me previously, you will not be on this list. If you want to be listed here, you're going to have to buy from me again. ^^;;

White-Listed people are granted a 3o% discount on all my products. I will not remind you, though, about the discount. It's up to you to remember if you have a discount or not.
To take advantage of the discount, please calculate the discount yourself, and subtract it from your total. If the number comes out to be a decimal, round down to the next lowest number. (i.e. 500.6 would become 500, 450.8 would become 450, 350.4 would become 350, etc.)

Bad move. You irritated me or one of my White-Listed so badly, or broke one of my shop rules, and you were placed here. That's too bad. ): You cannot order anything from me, unless you pay me 2,000 gold per edit. And I am serious.

- sassymoose; June 12th, 2006
- Offense; She attempted to place an order while I was closed, and used the Limited Order form to do so. ;._. Then, when I went to PMail her to maybe see if she could correct her order and avoid blacklisting, her Mail is set to Friends-Only. stare

- jack_jack29; July 2nd, 2006
- Offense; She placed an order in my shop while I was closed, using that damned Limited Order form to do it.
I didn't even bother to mail the silly girl. She probably has her PMail set to Friends only, too. ;.______.

- she the man; August 4th, 2006
- Offense; Placing an order while I was closed. She didn't even send the trade after posting her order, breaking another rule.

If your name is here, I don't want to hear from you again, unless your post regards a compromise or an apology of some sort. Or, if you're willing to fork over 2k an edit. |:,

Aww, leaving so soon? Well it was wonderful having you here! Do take a peek at the stores listed below. I'm sure they have wonderful products as well!
When asking to be affiliates with me, please make sure your banner isn't too wide or too tall. I'd like to keep my Linklist looking as organzied as possible. ^^; I'll accept most banners, no matter the size, but I'd prefer 88x31.
And please, if you link me in your store/quest/guild, tell me! I'd like to return the favor to anyone who links me! -^^-;
If you want to swap links with me, either post the code on the thread, or PMail it to me. I'd prefer that you PMail it though.

User ImageName: Catherine Trinette T.
Nickname(s): Kitty-mama, Trinneh, Lufflebutt, Pantyfrizz, Cherry, Celes, Kittyn <3
Age: 16
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual (If any get any negative comments on this...I keel j00.)
D.O.B: February 26th, 1989
Nationality: Filipina-American (Born in Manila, Philippines)
Current Place of Residence: Miami, FL, U.S.A.
Interests/Likes: Avatar Editing for Gaia, movies, Digital Art in general, traditional media art, video games, computers, anime, manga, electronic music, J-POP, J-ROCK, Uchiha Sasuke & Itachi :3....the list goes on. x3 But those are the important ones...oh, and I like sex, too. xD;;
Dislikes: Chatspeak (but I tolerate it o o; ), n00bs, people who ask "Why?" repeatedly, most vegetables, the colors pink, lime green, and yellow, homophobes...this list also goes on, unfortunately, but those are my main peeves.

Started Gaia: April 16th, 2OO4 (on my "Trinette Daratrazanoff/Eketil Tsukiyono" account.)
What I Like about Gaia: The fact that you get to customize a cute little avatar. Without that avatar, I'd never be able to open my shop. x3 Also, all the lovely friends I've met over my twenty-five months here. :3
What I Dislike about Gaia: It's constantly plagued with some error, bug, glitch, or scam. I know it can't be helped....but, yeesh. x x; Also, I tend to dislike the n00bs that sometimes stray away from the Chatterbox to plague everyone else. @ @;
My Current Inventory:
User Image

My Wishlist #FFFFFF Complex Shirt, Fairy Wings, Royal Silver Scepter, Pearl Necklace, Demonbow, Angelic Camisole, Angelic Headband, Laurels, Nitemare Bustier, Were Tail, Nitemare Headband, Angelic Bracelet, Angelic Pendant, Aquamarine UpsideDown Top, Blue Magic Coat, Chain Wallet, Envy SLIK Shirt, Guitar of Angellus, Panda Hat, Portable DJ's Headphones, Devil Tail, Guitar of Demona, Steel-Plated Ninja Band, and the Kitsune Mask
Yeah. I'm ambitious. X3
The "Beginning": I joined Gaia back in April of 2OO4, after finding out about it from my (then) boyfriend, who had been registered with Gaia for a while before that time.
When I first started out, I was terribly confused and made a few posts where they weren't supposed to. I don't think the Mods and the other Gaians liked me much in the beginning. x] My avatar looked painfully n00bish, too. It scares me to think about it. ;P I began to frolic around, then, in the Chatterbox and joined a few bars, and met a whole load of people who I now consider to be old friends. Some of them I speak to on a regular basis, some I barely hear from, but they are still my friends unconditionally.

Me, in General (In no general order or format): I'm a bit strange, and people say I can be bipolar/bitchy/insane/apathetic/shy/quiet/annoying/emo/aloadofotherthingsI'mtoolazytotypeout. But in a nutshell, I'm just...me. xP I'm a little aggravating sometimes, and I act a bit too "depressed" for my friends' likings. But mostly, I'm chipper, a little hyper, and weird when the situation calls for it. I have a good number of friends, both online and otherwise. I'm rarely alone unless I ask to be, so I don't usually maintain a depressed mood. My friends tell me I'm paranoid, as well. Sometimes, if they videotape me doing something, they say I look around nervously or I'm constantly looking into the shadows. The shadows thing is because I have a deep fear of the dark and shadows that was never exercised out of me in my early childhood. o o; Movies like "Darkness Falls", and "Darkness" make me paranoid at night. ;P
I live my life, most of the time, in front of the computer, and I'm very lazy. I'm not one much for hard work. But I love to dance when I'm away from the computer. I'll often crank up some random electronica, psytrance, or DDR track on my stereo and dance around my house like a maniac. I'm also a music addict. My iPod has close to three-thousand songs now, ranging from the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody", to Combichrist's "This s**t will ******** you Up", to Rammstein's "Mein Teil". I rarely stick to one music type, or artist, although I tend to stray away from hip-hop music at all costs. It bothers me. o O;
When it comes to anime and manga, I don't know of many due to the limited availability of such media here in Miami. The anime I do know and love, however, are Love Hina, Ah! Megami-sama!, Naruto (my current favorite ;3), Vandread, Sailor Moon, Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, Full-Metal Alchemist, Gensomaden Saiyuki, Gundam Wing, .hack//SIGN, Excel Saga, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Weiss Kreuz. I learned about a majority of those through the occasional botched search in Google, or through one of my trusty friends in school, or when I get a new issue of my coveted Newtype USA. ;3
Video games are another huge thing for me. My video games fall in the same organizational pattern as my music, ranging from Dansu Dansu Kakumei (DDR to you non-Japanese-speaking-people), to Gemna Onimusha, to the Final Fantasy Series, to Disgaea. I prefer cartoonish-type racing games, and RPGS, over anything else though. One of my favorite games when I was younger was Snowboard Kids 2, and I find it unfortunate that they discontinued that series. Linda was awesome. ;D
As a random continuation of this profile (xP), my clothing style is also as varied as my music and video game preference. Sometimes, I choose to wear my Nightmare Before Christmas shirt with my fishnets, or I want to wear a simple white button-up shirt. I prefer long-sleeved shirts, pants, and long skirts over shorter things mostly because I don't like showing how pale I am. I'm practically my avatar's skintone. - _ -; That kind of sucks for me though since summer in Florida really, really kills me. I want to move to Minnesota, dammit. oO;
I admit, I do shop at Hot Topic, as "mainstream" as it seems to considered, but I have a preference for darker colors over lighter ones. I dislike classifying myself or others, but my clothing style can be described mostly as "punk rocker", if anything.
My hobbies are mostly, computer/digital art, cosplay, crocheting (scary, eh?), and dancing.
In terms of cosplay, I've made a many good bunch of outfits. Among them are Yamanaka Ino (Naruto), Haruno Sakura (Naruto), Uchiha Itachi (Naruto), Uchiha Sasuke (...Naruto, again), Subaru (.hack//SIGN), Tsukasa (.hack//SIGN), Zima & Dita (Chobits), and Alice Elliot (Shadow Hearts). I don't wear most of them, but instead, give them to my friends to wear to conventions. I don't exactly have fun making the costumes, but it's nice to see the finished product on a happy cosplayer.
I also, as previously mentioned, like to do digital art. Mostly, this is just pixel-bits and dolls. A long while ago, while fooling around with my PSP, I learned how to do dolls. They were crappy, but they were good for firsties. Over the twenty-five months I've been on Gaia I've been improving slowly and getting a feel for a style that's my own.
I prefer pixel-shading over tool-shading nowadays, since it gives me greater control over where my shading goes. Although if I'm working on a large base or KISS dolls, I use tool shading. I'm not that patient. XD

...I can't think of anything else right now, oddly enough. o o;
If you read all the way down to here, congratulations. I lurvvles j00. <3
Well, there you have it, a profile, and a ramble from yours truly! ^_^ I'll add more as I think of it.
----------------------------------------
User Image
----------------------------------------

(When I get asked another Question, I'll post it here.)

Q: How do you make these edits?
A: I use Paintshop Pro 7 for a majority of my edits, although I occasionally use Paint for smaller edits.

----------------------------------------


Q: Well, how do you go about making them, exactly? Can you show me how?
A: I won't show you how to make them...yet. I've had a tutorial in the works for a long time, but I keep revising it, so I can't release it.
If you really want to know how I, in particular, make my edits, just wait for my tutorial. I'll have it out eventually.

----------------------------------------


Q: Can you be my mentor anyway and teach me how you made them?
A: I will not single out individual users and teach them. The only way anyone's going to learn how I made my edits, is when a get a tutorial to the general public.

----------------------------------------


Q: I could've sworn I saw these edits somewhere before. Did you really make these edits?
A: Yes, I am indeed the original creator of all the edits in my shop.
You might think these edits aren't mine, because I changed names. I used to run my shop under the name "Trinette Daratrazanoff". Back then, I didn't sign my edits, so many of my customers wrote that "Trinette Daratrazanoff" made their edits in the display posts where my edits where shown.
So, if you need some kind of confirmation, or something, I can log onto my Trinette Daratrazanoff account and mail you, or something. sweatdrop

----------------------------------------


Q: I really like your edits! I'm ordering all of them! Can I do that?
A: I love it that you like my edits, and it's okay if you want them all.
...just, please, don't order every single one of my edits in one bulk order. It's time-consuming, and incredibly boring and tedious for me. Break your order down into pieces of, perhaps, twelve edits per order. I'd appreciate it.

----------------------------------------


Q: Well...I won't order all of them at once. I'll just order a couple dozen at a time. ^_^ Is that alright?
A: Um...That's better, but not quite what I want.
I'd really like it if my customers order no more than twelve edits, or so, at a time. That way, I won't spend two weeks just trying to finish the order. o_o; I'd really like to allow more edits to be ordered at one time, but my attention span won't let me. >_>;

----------------------------------------


Q: Your orders are closed right now, but can I just slip in my order really quickly?
A: No. You see, if I let you do that, people will consider it unfair and they'll want to do it too. Which, if I let them, would be the same as general ordering. Defeats the purpose of closing my shop.
...I will make exceptions at my discretion. Don't order when I'm closed, unless I give you the OK to do so.

----------------------------------------


Q: I really like these outfits! Can I purchase a few and equip them onto my avatar?
A: Unfortunately, no. These are merely images that you can display in galleries on Gaia, post in your journal, show off to your friends, etc. You cannot purchase them and equip them from your inventory screen.
They are only display images, and are in no way equippable.

----------------------------------------


Q: I didn't know that! O_O Give me back my gold! scream
A: If you buy from me and then find out you can't equip them, I will not refund your gold. It was up to you to read my instructions. I stated in both my Rules and FAQ that these are not equippable. It's not my fault if you got lazy and didn't read.

----------------------------------------


Q: Can I have a free edit?
A: Are you on my Whitelist? If you aren't, then no. I don't give out freebies to just anyone.

----------------------------------------


Q: Can I please have some gold?
A: No. I dislike donating to people unless I know them well.
My only exception; I will donate to those who I think deserve the gold, like people questing for expensive items as a gift to a loved one, and similar situations.

----------------------------------------


Q: Why do you have so many female edits compared to your male edits?
A: Um...it's because....I suck? owo;
Really, though, I just dislike how angular the male avatar is. It's difficult for me to design and draw male outfits, since I can't use those flowing lines my female edits have.
Because of this, I may actually take down the entire male section entirely. Not many men order from me anyways. v_v;

----------------------------------------


Q: Hey! Other avatar editors can do multiple colors in their wigs! Why can't you?
A: Well, they just have some godly power or higher-level program that I don't have and they can do it just fine. Go to them and get their fancy wigs. xx;

----------------------------------------


Q: I don't like how you made my edit(s). Can you fix them?
A: Yes, but only up to a certain point. I'll edit any avatar edits I made for you up to two times each, before I tell you "too bad, so sad,", and refuse your request(s). So make sure that if/when you ask me to fix your edit(s), you're absolutely sure about the corrections.

----------------------------------------


Q: Can you please make an edit of (*such and such a character*)?
A: I'll consider it, but don't expect me to do it right away. If I can't locate good reference pictures, then I probably won't do it.

----------------------------------------


Q: What can you do in terms of Customs? Can you make anything I ask for?
A: Not necessarily. I can do most anything you ask for, but I can not do the following:
Large/Intricate Victorian Gowns
Full-Body Armor
Animals (such as a dragon next to your avatar's leg, or a familiar)
Anthros
Star-Wars-themed edits
Otherwise, request for a Custom when I have a slot open and I'll tell you if I can do it or not.

----------------------------------------


Q: Why won't you do Star-Wars themed edits? (In accordance with the above F.A.Q.)
A: Simply put, I dislike the Star Wars series. I really don't like the Star Wars series or it's clothing, and I have less motivation to do this type of edit. All my previous attempts to do Star Wars edits have turned out terrible.

----------------------------------------


Q: Can you do OCs (Original Characters)?
A: Yes, so long as they don't have any of the traits/themes listed above.

----------------------------------------


Q: Why do you rarely have Custom slots open?
A: Custom orders scare me, frankly. I have no confidence to take on Custom orders, because I fear people may request things too far out of my league and I can't fill the order. Silly reason, I know.
I'm also a heavy procrastinator, and Custom orders may take weeks to finish based on my motivation level.

----------------------------------------


Q: I can't get my avatar naked, and I don't want to have the avatar background on my order. How to I get the background off?
A: First off, get a Photobucket account. It's free at www.photobucket.com, and it's fairly quick and easy to get one.
Go to the "Customize Me" page and strip your avatar down to the default underwear. You may keep whatever head/face/tail items you wish.
Hit "Save Changes". This will give you your stripped-down avatar.
Right-click on your avatar in the upper-left hand corner of the Gaia page and hit "Properties".
Copy the URL provided where it says "Address".
Go to your Photobucket account and click "Add Pictures from URL" in the Upload Pictures box.
Paste the URL of your avatar into the "Picture URL" box, and cut everything off after the .png part of the address, like so:
http://peyo.gaiaonline.com/gaia/members/ava/20/c0/2351d7821fc020.png?t=1123287692

Into:
http://peyo.gaiaonline.com/gaia/members/ava/20/c0/2351d7821fc020.png
Click "Submit" and voila! Your naked avatar, all ready for me to dress up. :3
Note: This is will not remove the grey Gaian underwear, but it will get your avatar naked enough for me to work with. (:

----------------------------------------


Q: I don't have anywhere to host my edits. Can you host them for me?
A: Nope. I merely deliver the finished product to you. I will not provide hosting, paid or otherwise, to my Customers. It sounds mean, but I'm running on Limited bandwidth, and I'd rather reserve as much of it as I can to keep the shopfront working.
But if you really need hosting, the most I can tell you is to either register at Photobucket.com, upload at imageshack.us, or simply use TinyPic.com.
I may someday implement a paid-imagehosting service, but not right now.

----------------------------------------


Q: I want to order a edit or two for my friend as a gift, but I don't want to ask him/her to strip his/her avatar for me out of random. >>; How do I get the unclothed avatar image to you for my order?
A: If this is the case, and I do get this sometimes, this can easily be solved.
Either go to the GAVSim (gavsim.net], recreate his/her unclothed avatar and put that in your order post.
Or, if you don't know how to upload images to a Photobucket/Tinypic.com/whateverimagehostyouuse, just give me a link to his/her profile and I'll recreate the avatar myself.

----------------------------------------


Q: Would you mind if I used the avatar edit(s) I purchased as subjects for avatar art?
A: Not at all. Although I would appreciate it if you showed me the final product. I'd love to see how my edit was used. :3

----------------------------------------


Q: Would you mind if I used the avatar edit(s) I purchased in a Wishlist/Banner/Signature Map/Quest Bar?
A: Not at all. Just don't remove my signature, and show me the final product. Then it's alright.

----------------------------------------


Q: Why do you need my naked avatar if you're just putting on a wig?
A: I need to know your eye, and mouth type, and the color of your eyes, so I can make a base to match, and then I put the wig on. Sometimes I can't tell these if your avatar is wearing a mask, or glasses, or the like.

----------------------------------------


Q: Can I purchase just my naked avatar with a wig on it?
A: Yes.

----------------------------------------


Q: Can I then use that avatar in other edit shops, so that other avatar editors can put clothes on it?
A: Of course. Although if anyone asks who made the wig, please tell them my name. You may also, if you like, give them a link to my shop so they can visit me. x3

----------------------------------------


Q: I'm an avatar editor. If I purchase a few wigs, just to go on bases, am I allowed to use those bases for my own edits?
A: Yes, that is pefectly fine, as long as you don't tamper with the signature I will put on the base.
Once you purchase a base with one of my wigs on it, you are pretty much free to do whatever you like with it, so long as my signature remains visible somewhere on the edit. Please refrain from repostioning its limbs though, until you ask my permission. I want to know if there'll be any major editing done to my bases. ;._.
My final, most heavily-enforced rule; do not resell my base, or attempt to sell it in scene edits. Please make your own wig if that is your intent, or find another editor who will let you resell their wigs.

----------------------------------------


Q: I placed my order. When will I get my edits?
A: If it's a small order, like maybe one or two outfits with wigs, then it'll be a matter of a few minutes.
But if you place a larger order, be prepared to wait a little longer. Putting together these edits take time.
I may take longer, as well, if I have orders before yours. I do mine in order of oldest orders to newest, most recently-posted, ones.

----------------------------------------


Q: I posted my order in your shop a few days ago. Why haven't I recieved my edits?
A: I'm a Junior in Highschool, taking Japanese III and Psychology, along with nightschool every Monday and Wednsday. I also can't go online on Weekdays.
I have little to no time to work on edits nowadays, so please don't be alarmed if your order takes a while to complete.

----------------------------------------


Q: I need to have this order by (*such and such a date/time*)! Can you do it?
A: With my odd schedule, I can't do edits by a specific deadline anymore. Sorry.

----------------------------------------


Q: Where did you get those white Mannequins you have in your samples? Can you give them to me?
A: Those were made by Meriko and Kimini. They can be found here.
Although if you'd rather not wade through Meriko's F.A.Q., the bases can be found here.
I, as a note, do not claim ownership of the Mannequins. They belong fully to Meriko and Kimini. I am merely using them for my own purposes.

----------------------------------------


Q: "Celestina Dara...whatever"? Is that your real name? o_o;
A: Heavens no. x_x; My real name is Catherine. My account is named as it is because I originally had this account solely for roleplaying. I was a Carpathian, based from Christine Feehan's Dark Series. But I quit roleplaying around the time my shop started getting popular, so I could focus more on my shop.
...I do wish my name was Celestina, though. whee

----------------------------------------


Q: Daratrazanoff! surprised heart You know about the Carpathians/Dark Series?
A: Why, yes. I am a big fan of Christine Feehan's Dark Series. I have all of the books so far, except for...Dark Meoldy. And Symphony. I think. XD
I find the Daratrazanoffs to be the most complex and interesting family line in that series, which is why I designed an Original Roleplaying Character after them. whee

----------------------------------------


Q: You're so complicated! Why can't you just make everything simpler?
A: I'm neurotic and I feel that I must explain everything in as many words as possible. So dig yourself out of your 'I'm-too-lazy-to-read-all-of-this" stupor, and deal with it.

----------------------------------------


Q: You're so mean. Why are you such a b***h?
A: I am a b***h, becuase I feel like it. Get over it.
I am not mean, as well. Or at least not as mean as some other shop owners. Deal with it, pansy. mad
