Hmm...

So I've mentioned this before but never really had to stoop to it. I may now, just b/c if I'm going to get my plans off the ground I need $$$ to do it, and I think it's obvious by this point that pizza isn't cutting it.

My manga collection is pathetic; I'm too poor to collect as much of it as I would like. If I'd made it to Japan like I wanted this wouldn't be a problem but I won't go down that bitter road today...

Anyway, I was going to put some of my manga up for sale on ebay but I thought I'd try here first. For now I've got 1-9 of d.n.angel, 1-6 of rurouni kenshin, and (though it hurts me) 1-6 of Cantarella to sell. I'm not sure if anyone actually wants these, but they're the ones I know I can manage to part with for now. I have some single volume stuff as well, but that requires my going through it all to get the names and all down. Probably do that tomorrow. If you want any of the ones above though, lemme know.

***update***

d.n.angel has been sold.

Your friends seem to be not in agreement with the selling manga concept. ^^ Are there other things you could do for money? Short stories for $5 or something?

I *do* want the manga but not if it's gonna cause any tension ^^

[maderr.livejournal.com]

There's no problem, my friends are just very awesome friends. 'Sides, the one you're buying isn't the one she was upset about.

Short stories for $5.00?

[mercury-quirks.livejournal.com]

Ah, k ^_^ I'll email you as soon as I'm ready to buy.

Well, some artists do comissions. For a few dollars they'll send you a sketch or something. I'm not sure if you draw but I know you write, so you could do a literary version. For a few dollars you'll write a story for them, within doable limits, of course.

You could even get friends who don't want the money but who do want to help out, to help with the writing so it's not just you ^^

Cool!

Iiinteresting...I never thought of something like that...would that actually work?

[mercury-quirks.livejournal.com]

I think it certainly could. I know I'd buy, cause around $5 really isn't that much and it's cool to have a story written for you ^^ I can't say how other people would take to the idea, though. But it's something to think about for someday.

Question about the manga, Japanese or English?

[maderr.livejournal.com]

I really like the idea, I'll have to see what I can do about setting it up. It sounds like fun.

Japanese. I think I'd die if someone stateside put her work in English.

[mercury-quirks.livejournal.com]

It would be fun. And hopefully profitable ^_^

And damn. I can't read japanese. Nor do any of my friends. I'm tempted to buy them just for the art... And especially since this really would be the only time I'd ever consider buying these.

But then I also really want to buy Warning: Contains Language and it's the exact same price. ^^;; Damnit, but Gaiman always wins. Sorry =/ But I'm sure someone else will want to buy.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Heh, no worries. I'dve gone for Gaiman too. Easy.
