YESSSSSS. SSS.

Response from the cleaner came in, although it looks like I'll be the one editing those massively-ugly gutter shadows out after all. Darn. (Unless the other one responds too...?) 
Sent out some messages or other.

DID SIX / SEVEN / EIGHT PAGES WORTH OF CLEANING ON SMILE, PLEASE?
WHHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTTTT?
Me, productive? Le gasp.

*totally good mood*

**OOFURI 200 Prompt List

OOFURI
200 Prompt List:
((Think you can handle it?))

Mansecks would be good, yes.
Did you hear something? Nah.
(I honestly could think of more, but this is enough. Seriously. It starts off as pertaining to the series more and later branches off into a variety of random scenario prompts… There is no true order though. Oops? I'll fix the numbers later.)

Make the best of these, whether it’s all one pairing, various pairings, no pairings whatsoever, or a hybrid. Make it as sexy or safe as you like. The point is to up the OOFURI love and have fun while doing it. Sound good? Give it a go.
And no, you don’t have to do everything. That’s just rough. (What a relief!)

But if you do, congratulations and I’ll be your personal slave make you a pretty banner or write you something or... *has yet to fully choose*

Editing Guidelines

This is not ABSOLUTELYYOUMUSTDOTHIS. Seriously. 
But it does save me from being overly redundant with instructions or points, and it is something simple and basic to work up from. 

Both:
-PLEASE SAVE YOUR WORK IN .PSD FORMAT. DO NOT TOUCH THE ORIGINAL RAW. (I find this a lot easier to work off of if I'm quality-checking, and also for the typesetter so they can see the text placement. Now you know. :P)
-Umm... When you finish, send it back to me? That's a bit of a given... -___-;
-If you have any concerns, please let me know when you hand in your work. (Saying that makes me seem like a kindergarten teacher, sorry...) Cleaners, if there's a problem with a page, please don't resize it, and just point it out to me.
-Don't worry about file size. I'll be going back in and compressing/renaming later.

Cleaners:
-Leveling (don't overlevel to the point of nasty pixelation, I go back in to fill blacks anyway) 
-Editing out SFX (Do not bother to edit out something that covers an entire panels. Just, no. I don't care how you do this, whether it's copy-pasting or that fancy clone/heal tool. Please do edit them out, though. Thank you.)
-Text bubbles (Okay. When you clear out all the text bubbles, do it on another layer, totally separate from your editing. This is so, if we ever need to erase something we haven't got a trans for, it doesn't wind up getting rid of that super-hard redraw you just did.)
-Redraw (Yep. You should redraw. None of those weird random white lines in the middle of a screentoned panel.)
-Resize to a width of 675 pixels, unless the RAW was smaller to begin with. (It shouldn't have been.) In that case, resize to the width of the smallest page size.

Typesetters:
-Although by now it's disgustingly-overused, "Wild Words" is a font that will get the job done. All caps, please. Save it for plain dialogue and use it for thoughts, but italicize it and do a colour overlay of #55555(5? It's all fives.). 
-For small 'aside' texts, use "augie" with normal punctuation and grammar (not all caps, please). If things get really tight in a space, drop all the caps save for names.
-For more factual side texts, use "Felt." (By factual side texts I mean things like, "He's secretly a bit happy.")
-Add fitting punctuation to anything that lacks it and manages to slip by our proofreaders. This probably won't be the case, but hey, you never know. (Especially since I'm one of them, haha... xD)
-Go crazy with SFX. Really, do whatever you think looks good. If you go too wild and make things unreadable, don't worry, I can tone you down with the quality check.
-When appropriate, add a stroke around the text. (Cases of this would be: non-white background, text on background, sfx, et cetera.)


If I remember to later, I can add more and/or pointers.

(no subject)

Haha, bought myself a birthday present. Although it didn't quite work out how I wanted it.
I was going to get two books at Barnes and Noble (free shipping for stuff over twenty-five dollars) because it would be cheaper than getting them at Borders (since the books were cheaper I was like a dollar short of free shipping or something). But it turns out I didn't have enough in my gift cards anyway. (Damn it! xDDD)
So I just got one of the two at Borders, since individually it's cheaper there, lol. And besides, now the people who've got no idea of what I might want have a book left to buy, even though I don't mind not getting presents. I'm not a whoabig-into-birthdays sort of person.


Oh, the ordeals I go through for a likeable present. LMAO.

Love,
(still laughing)
