Jynk's Corner of the Mad House
 
I'm new here and seeing that I'm now making friends and the conversations are actually getting longer, it was suggested that I move things over here--so here I be. I just mostly wanted a place to hang out with friends and have our random conversations and keep in touch with people I've met here (I've written them down! XD) and all of that.

I love making new friends and anything is really open for discussion as long as it's not breaking the rules here. There's a list of interests on my profile for anyone who'd like to discuss similar interests.

So, enjoy yourselves and welcome to my corner.

HARHAR! >8D

I don't mind being stalked by people I consider friends. Hehe. I just hope I did the hangout thread right. ^__^;;

I have the screenshots online, but it would take some time to find them.

The shops do alright and my oldest one runs itself--the pet owners there are pretty awesome and tend to help out with wrangling the newbies. The other two I've got active are still starting out. One seems to be doing very well with interest and the other has great potential. Sadly, my online comic is long gone now... the site that use to host it stopped hosting comics from anyone other than the owner and they had to remove the comics for space reasons... and last year my old computer's HD literally died and I lost the comic files. All I have are the hard copies in various sketchbooks (and my scanner is broken).

I have a sister.. she's my younger identical twin. Sometimes you'll catch us wearing similar outfits on Gaia, but it's purely coincidental because we live over 400 miles apart.

Um.. I'm mostly just saving up. Heh. I post in other forums, too, while waiting for replies here. ^__^ As for conversations, we might have to move this to another thread that's more appropriate, I think.

Yes, really. I don't mind giving out a free pet now and then. It can't always be about money.. then it's not fun anymore.

Ah, yes. I stalk you, too! >> << <3

Oh, that's so cute! You had an AFK named Mr. Snufflepuffs? Woah, that is... that is mindboggling-cute. xDD <3 You sold him, though, right? Mr. Snufflepuffs? -throws a tissue up into the air- ;__; Mu. Earl must've been around a while, then. And if you could ever post them, that'd be great but you don't have to. If it consumes your time, then let them be. Hehe.

"Wrangling" the newbies... I like that term. That's a good term. It's good that your shops are still running and working. It's always good news when a shop brings in gold after being started. Great potential is also a good thing. :3 You ish lucky. Ack! It's gone? The hard drive died? Wait, so you have nothing left? Aw, that's poopy. I was wanting to see it. But at least you still have the sketchbooks. Would've been a horrible loss if you didn't have those.

That's so neat that you have a twin. >w< I know two twins over where I live but I don't much talk to them. 400 miles is a long way away. -stares- So you have nothing in mind for what you wanted to buy, then? Smart; saving it up until you see something that really catches your eye. xD And yeah, probably. It's no longer welcoming a newbie to Menewsha, is it? hahaha.

True. But still. I'm not used to having people give me free stuff. It is kind of youuu. o3o

Jynk 10-12-2007 01:04 PM

Stalk away! XD

I'm not sure exactly where Snuffles went. I'm sure he was used as payment in some auction or other. Earl and Leroy (my NM headband) have both been around a long time. I forget exactly how I got them both.. one I quested for and the other I lucked out getting from a pink giftbox. I just don't remember which was gotten which way now. I'll try and find the screencaps sometime for you, yeah.

I managed to save some mp3s and very few art items from the HD in it's last hurrah before it stopped working completely. Luckily the day it died was the same day the new computer arrived. Shops are great when they take care of themselves. Finding people who care about the shop and pets and stick around to help out are a great find. A shop is nothing without loyal customers.

My sister lives with her ferrets close to our parents... and I moved away to live with our grandmother to keep her company. ^__^ I have a few ideas on what I want to buy, but I know saving up will get me the items I want and leave some left over to start saving for the next item.

I give free pets out on Gaia sometimes, too. Usually I give them to friends for kicks or because of something special. The last free one I gave out was to my boyfriend.. his first B/C pet ever... and before that, I gave a free pet to a friend for their birthday since they were admiring my shop.

Woo, it's that new thread smell! XP

Jynk 10-12-2007 02:19 PM

Hi, Sizz... okay.. recapping:

I also totally agree with making different pets here than on Gaia. The Whimsicals shop from Gaia is also here, but she sells the EXACT SAME pets here as on Gaia. I think it's kind of a cop out, because they are no longer uniquely-colored. Just reused. :(

As for prices...you're going to find that things are a lot 'cheaper' here, because gold is so hard to earn. As a matter of fact, we should probably be chatting in your thread so we can earn money as we go. LOL Perhaps I'll go open a window there and we can continue chatting in there. :D

I'm going to be selling my Furies (a three-stage pet) for 250g in a flatsale, whereas on Gaia I charge 5k. So you kind of get the picture there. My B&C shop here, A Thousand Gardens, charges 2k and you get three stages of art, all uniquely drawn by luciole. :D I think it's totally worth the price, even though it might be expensive.

There's an auction for the Halloween Beat of this year coming up on the 15th over on Gaia. You might have a good shot at it.

That's pretty dinky of that shop to do that. I love coloring my Beats, even if they are a lot of work, so I'd rather have new ones and let owners moving over here from Gaia have the option to reclaim their pets to play with here.

I think I'll bring the pets over and consider prices once the shops are set up. For Beats, I'm thinking just the first two stages so I can use the items that I have... and bring more stages over as the items are sorted out for them (when merangue finishes them). The other shop I want to bring over has no items so I can use all their stages.

Sizzla 10-12-2007 02:33 PM

Ooh, perhaps I'll have to look into the auction. Auctions aren't usually good (for me) because they get expensive...but i have some extra letters I didn't sell that I could use I suppose. XP

We'll have to see when it starts. XD

Yeah, I think making differently colored pets for each site is necessary. Though the Whimsicals were cute, I wouldn't buy any but a custom because I know someone else will have one like mine on Gaia.

I would go ahead and set up shop, and then test the market. B&C is VERY slow these days, and most shops aren't seeing much business. But I'm guessing it'll grow slowly, like Gaia's B&C did. Gold here is hard to earn, so people aren't all about buying pets with leftover money yet. They're still trying to buy clothes, you know?

Jynk 10-12-2007 02:43 PM

Well, I'm probably going to be looking for October letters on Gaia for sure if that helps any.

The appeal of the Beats are that they're unique. There aren't any other pets like them on Gaia and I'd like to keep them unique of each other as well. Btw, their certs got an overhaul and are very nice now (and semi-customizable with colors). I'll have to make sure they're size appropriate for here.

That's pretty sound advice, really. I guess throwing some pets there for samples (like my personal ones) and then asking for honest opinions on price might work, hm?

ladyumbra 10-12-2007 02:53 PM

*Stalks Sizzla*
Can I get a link or something , I'm sorta lost in the conversation.

Smerdle 10-12-2007 02:54 PM

Hey, it's a Jynk! I've always admired your writing and sassyawesome ideas and stuff, but I'm also afraid of you for the same reasons I just mentioned! Yay!

Just stopping by to say hey, since the Siz o' my Sizzes and the Umbra o' my Ladies are in here and they counter my fear... or something. XD

Jynk 10-12-2007 02:59 PM

Umbra>> Sorry. We were discussing my bringing my B/C shops from Gaia over here to Mene. ^__^

Smerdle>> You've read my writings? Where did you read them? *bogles* And there's no reason to be afraid of me. ^__^;;;

ladyumbra 10-12-2007 03:05 PM

No need to apologise, tis what i get for hopping into the middle of the conversation. Anyway I'm always for the migration of Gaia shops to Mene.

Smerd I am honored to counter the fear for you.

Smerdle 10-12-2007 03:10 PM

Back in Mendel days mostly, but there was also a link in your sig once to a ridiculously slobbaslobbah outside-Gaia RP, which I think was on Livejournal, but I've since lost the link.

And now I sound like a stalker, which I assure you I'm not. heh

So yeah, I haven't read any actual book-like things if you've got them. I just happen to run across you on Gaia every so often. Whee!

Jynk 10-12-2007 03:12 PM

I saw your ABJD thread, Umbra. I was happy to see one here since I just bought some (waiting on a head and doll because of faceups) and am getting into the whole swing of owning my own BJDs. ^___^

But, yeah... I'm moving my pet shops over. Sizz is helping me with advice.


Smerdle>> Ah, yes... Mendels. Gold never did get to be an adult, you know. I'm not even sure it'd be worth asking Jester to do something about it. As for off-Gaia RPs, you must either mean Signal or Lagrange Points. Was it based on Firefly/Serenity or were there merfolk involved?

Smerdle 10-12-2007 03:25 PM

It was the merfolk, but Firefly/Serenity are love too.

I feel weird even mentioning Mendels much nowadays, but it was fun to keep up with as a lurker while it lasted. It would be nice to see the oldies grown, but I don't know how successful trying to get that done would be.

Jynk 10-12-2007 03:33 PM

I doubt I'd get Gold grown now. They didn't seem to into doing much with the shop once they had a lot of money/items and Jester had that art job. *shrugs*

Ah, yes.. Lagrange. Sadly, that closed almost a year ago due to just real life things. It's still on greatestjournal for anyone that wants to read it.. and actually, a lot of stuff there is being reincarnated into my steampunk/fantasy novel.

Good to know. I'll have to buy some extras this month if I can afford it. I've cut down on my Gaia donations by $20 a month because I need that $20 to live. XP

Yeah, I've always been a huge fan of the Beats. I love the Patchen. Cuz fae are my thing. XP

I saw your new certs and they are quite nice. Much better than the originals I think. *nods*

I would just ask for pricing opinions. I don't think that's a bad idea at all, and people here will be honest with you. :D

*snugs Smerd and lady* Hey girls! <3 Let's bring MOAR B&C people here! Where can we get them from???

I LOVED Mendels! Whoa, I haven't heard about that shop in AGES. NJ did some awesome work there.

Sorry it took me so long to reply btw, I've been off finishing some artwork for a magazine layout and calorie counting. :roll: and that's all KINDS of fun. Not. :(

Jynk 10-12-2007 03:48 PM

Oh, yesh.. I'll be making a note on the auction that October letters will be appreciated (might be a reason the auction starts on the 15th ^__~).

I think asking probably would be best, yeah. I think a lot of people like the Patchen and Whalens. Thanks for the compliment on the certs. It took a good bit of time to get them the way I wanted and they do look so much better for the Beats. Plus, people can request specific colors for the cert. ^__^

Slow replies are totally forgiven. Real life > online stuffs. *nod*

YEY. <3
Awwe, you don't know where he went? Nuts. Ho` shizz. When did you get a pink giftbox, eh? I've only gotten a pink giftbox once, and I got nothing good from it, sadly. D: Kinda wishing I had sold it for 40k instead of opening it, now.

It's good you managed to save your music. Alas; what would the world be without music? Yes, those really are truely good customers; especially if they come back again and again and again... xDDD Then you'll be cha-ching-ing all the way over to bank. Lawl. If only...

Ferrets. Your sister has ferrets. woah. Ferrets, guinea pigs, and llamas are, like, my most favourite-ist animals! She needs to send pictures. Hehe. Indeed, true. But saving up sucks. [I just lost 150g. DX Bet it all using the Chance game. I really don't like Menewsha's games, right now... And now I have to get it all back in order to get my precious Panda Slippers. -sniff- ;___;]

Awe, that was sweet/nice of you. Giving one to your boyfriend. Lucky guy. : D Special occasions let people get things for free, yesyes.
<3

Jynk 10-13-2007 07:04 AM

Pink giftboxes use to come a lot more frequently back in the day on Gaia. (Actually just got one like 20 min before posting this.) I got very luck on my giftboxes, really.. and I think I probably have all or, at least, most of the items I've gotten out of them.

Well, with some of the songs, they were sent to me by the artist and he's since stopped posting his music online (though, he was kind enough to email me my favourite song of his when it turned up to be the only one I didn't manage to save).

Yeah, my pet shop customers do seem to run the shop themselves a lot of times.. and they do frequent all my shops. I know one person who probably has one of every pet I've ever put out in the B/C. That there is dedication and loyalty. I hope my shops here do as well.

Yes, my sister has four carpet sharks. She sends pics of them.. and I have a few I took when she visited. I'll try and load them sometime online and get you some links.

Keep saving and posting.. you'll get your slippers in no time. :3 If you need some help, let me know and I'll try and send gold to you if you need it.

Well, my boyfriend's been pretty supportive of me (even with the long distance) and puts up with my crazy enough, he deserved something nice.. even if it's a virtual pet.

Cletus 10-13-2007 10:21 AM

I can't believe you got one just now. xD You have such amazing luck, it's unbelievable. I'm also supposing you get the good items when you get a giftbox, eh? Hehe.

The artist sending you the music is always nifty. Unless he makes you pay. >> << lawl. But awe, why'd he stop posting his songs?

That's good! Always a good sign when the customers run the shop more than the shop owner. [So long as the customers are running the shop in a good way. Obviously. Haha.] Wow, yes, that is total loyalty right there. How much do you charge?

Eek! <3 That is so cute! I can't wait to see them. :] Ah, you're too kind. There is, though, no need. You worked [seriously: worked] to get your gold on this site; you should keep it. I mean, donations are nice, but I won't ask for them. <3

Your boyfriend sounds like a really nice guy. ^_^ I'm sure he likes his little virtual pet. Heh.

Omgomgomgomgomg. This person my family works with totally just gave us stuff. His iPod, his Japanese thousand dollar screen, his two-thousand dollar soft fake leather couch... <333 Squeeee. I luffle it. >:3

I didn't bother opening it. I put that bad boy up for sell. ^__^ I'm saving up on Gaia for a custom pet.

I don't know why he stopped. Probably got too busy with college or something.

Charge for which pets? Beats are my expensive ones over there, but even they're rather cheap compared to some places.

I don't mind helping out friends. Ever hear of the phrase "pay it forward?" It's like passing on good karma.

Yeah, my boyfriend is the best guy ever. I wish it was January already so he could come visit. Long distance relationships can suck sometimes. :|

Wow... is he going away? If it were me, I'd claim that iPod. Heh. I love my iPod. I got one of the special red ones that helps fight AIDS. I had a Jack Keroac quote put on the back.
