1.) Wagyu: Expensive high quality beef.
2.) Itai!: Ouch!
I can't believe I wrote this. I am such a nerd and know nothing about this...*face palming myself into oblivion*
It's an idea that I've had for a while, seeing as how shounen-ai fanservice has been a big money maker in the entertainment industry. (there was a documentary done on it) There was a specific company that lives off this... not saying any names, but you know who. Call me old fashioned, I liked music when it was all just about the music.
Regardless this was funny and based off someone's user pic I saw in a forum somewhere. It was a picture of a celebrity eating ramen and it said "...... doesn't pay us enough to buy food." or something like that. I'm just playing around with pairings, gahh... I wanted to do more pairings but they don't fit on one page.
LIES, ALL OF IT, LIES!!! I am not paying them to do fanservice! They just want attention. There is some truth to this though. Artists don't get that much money, sure they get more than normal people, but not a whole lot. Their record label, production team, and managers take a very large chunk from sales/concerts. Thus, leaving Naoya and the rest to eat instant noodles, cookies, candy, and packed lunches. Although, Shin and Nissy just happened to get their attention when they mention eating out. Apparently, fanservice sells better than talent. Naoya and his bad ideas take it up notch and is defeated by chopsticks. Yes! Shuta and his mad chopstick skills.
btw, I was told not to release the name of my source for record label salary thing (awesomely, they get free i-pods, bikes, phones, and NDS's). And... I have that shirt that Shin is wearing...(Prussia screaming "I am awesome")

And yes there will be more fanservice, but not consecutively (preventing screaming and nosebleeds). I'm trying to think of another pairing with Shinjiro.

Date: 2011-10-02 04:31 am (UTC)And about sharing the comics, OF COURSE!! You're welcome to post the comics themselves on the comm, but I think it's nicer for you to link back to your community instead! (That way it gives your community its purpose, rather than taking away from it)!
Of course if you prefer to share on our comm, you're welcome to do that too. But I certainly think linking-back to yours is a better idea! If you want to do that, maybe you could put a preview of the comic on our community and then put a link-back so people can read the rest here or something! It's certainly not SPAM on our watch, especially because you're an affiliate! On top of that, there's another girl sharing stuff where she links back to her own journal! She's sharing scans, so it's a tad different, but the point is that it's still her hard work! So like in that case, I think it's perfectly fine to link-back!
And wow, sorry for the novel! ^^;; Anyway, I look forward to seeing more of your work whenever you have the time! =D

Date: 2011-10-02 10:03 pm (UTC)Yeah, I was thinking that too, to put up one preview panel on your comm and add a link back to my comm so people can view the whole thing.
Thank you for the support and suggestion.
Most of all, thanks for the permission.
I will try it out with my next update.
