Letters to Ficcage and Fandom

[ickaimp]

Dear Gordian Knot 3-
Okay, yes, I know Kid just went through a big hurty deal. That does not mean that it's time to use Hakuba's tentacles as a hammock and get all mellow. You're a paranoid bastard and we love you for it. We've got 7,000 words done, not including the stuff we have to re-write and I think we can manage to wrap this up in another 2,000, okay?
-Annoyance, Icka!

Dear Guard Dog-
Doing grammar fixing and changing things around at the beginning doesn't mean you can't still continue at the current parts just because Yuugi's being Emo. ....Pr0nage Omake aside.
-Sincerely, Icka!

Dear Grey Zone-
Just because we're also working on Gordian Knot doesn't mean we love you any less. #^^#
Come back soon.
-Hugs and Kisses, Icka!

Dear Hunter x Hunter-
Don't just drop a lovely huge plunnie on our doorstep and run off snickering without telling us the bloody ending!
-Growls, Icka!

Dear Beauty and the Beast-
Well?
-Icka!

Dear Detective Conan Fandom-

STOP STEALING OUR KID ICONS AND WEB ART!!!

This is the second time in about a month I've caught people. Just because I'm polite about it doesn't mean we're not BLOODY FURIOUS.
Seriously. If You Didn't Create It, Don't Post It. It's not a hard concept. 'Ignorance' or "I didn't know." is -not- an acceptable excuse, it's merely another way of saying you didn't expect to get caught. Especially if you're stealing it right off our bios.
And if it's that damn important for you to use our creations, ASK ME. Think if it as a Kid Heist Note.
-Pissed Off (and stop telling me not to be when I catch you), Icka!

>P

... *eyetwitch* People are so retarded. IT'S THEFT OKAY. JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE A THIEF WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE IN OUR CANON, IT DOES NOT MEAN HE'S A GOOD ROLL MODEL--EXCEPT YOU'RE NOT REALLY FOLLOWING HIM IF YOU'RE NOT HANDING OUT HEIST NOTES AND-OR RETURNING YOUR PRIZES.

YOU PEOPLE WHO STEAL ICONS AND WEB ART? FAIL. YOU FAIL SO HARD.

Also, ♥ for you Icka~ The note to Hunter x Hunter made me snerk so bad. XD

I saw someone using one on Knightus Cbox the other day. Wasn't sure if it was you using another name or not. If I see it again I'll mention it to them....

Unless, of course, it *is* you using another name.

*hugs* I'm sorries that people are such butts. But think of it as a compliment to how awesome your work is. :)

No F* manners, no respect. Expect a little more intelligence from Conan/MK fans at least ~_~

I find links to my photobucket folders of doujinshi cover scans and card scans that no one's asked me permission for... excuse me but I pay to use Photobucket... and why I ignore people who whine the images aren't big enough.

*head desk* Art/icon theives suck, seriously. I often feel like saying:

"Yes, let me spend two hours figuring out how to make twenty layers of gradients, textures,patterns and images work together, as well as designing new a while new design which takes another five hours considering I only have 100x100 pixels to work with and my idea wants 3000x3000, just so you can run off and claim it as your own. Really, I don't mind."

While most of my icons are free for the taking (with credit) since I make between 5 and 20 a week, it's still bloody annoying to see them changed/un-credited and it's doubly annoying to see my larger graphics stolen when I only have them in public view as a reference to what I can do for someone's request (such as colouring a manga image or original artwork).

Thankfully, no one's tried knicking my fanart, but then again, it's only viewable in two places.
