Yeah why not, if you:

1. Don't claim any association with us, no "official merchandise"
2. Don't use anything that's done by us. No game assets, not even traced/altered. We don't own the stuff in shimmie except the ones by staff artists, but I'd imagine the original artists have largely similar opinions about the use of their work for profit.

Ah! Don't worry. Everything will be labeled unofficial/fan work. One of my friends is planning to do a summer/beach theme print with the girls in swimsuits and I'll be doing stickers. (And quite possibly a mini-print of Hanako with Harvey Dent. Just for shits and giggles.)

And I just remebered. Maybe if those pillows are impossible how about that idea of:
Lilly Blindfolds &
Shizune Earplugs
that were talked about a few months, or is it a year now? oh, I can't remember.

Or my own ideas; I think:
Hanako candles or those chocolates that Richiter Bromont mentioned sound good
Emi socks and slippers
Rin wristwatch

Irony it would seem is a dish best served with fries and a coke.

Aha! Those ideas are cute. I don't know about chocolate and wristwatches, but the candle suggestion seems doable. We're selling mostly prints and stickers though. (We might have a couple of Katawa Shoujo tote bags, but it's up for debate.)

But I'll definitely keep Hanako candles in mind.

I'm intrigued, what doujins would you be selling? Pimmy's "I'm gonna die"? New ones made by your group or commissioned to some other people? Also, if its the latter case, is there a way to get some sort of "sample" online as to what would they be about?

Why do people keep thinking it's okay to sell OTHER people's work at a con? First dakis, now comics? If anyone was selling them, it would have to be me, otherwise it would be theft.

I don't think we have enough time to put together a doujin in time because we still have prints and other merch to work on. Perhaps next year though! I think a day at the beach sounds like a fun doujin idea.

That's kinda sad. I was hoping to see some doujins getting done and distributed around. Anyway, it still sounds like fine what you are planning, wish you luck.

Hey, I'm nearly a complete ignorant when it comes to licenses. Sorry if I stroke a chord there, no offense intended.

Because God loves ya! 90% of LA is a wasteland; 8.5% is semi-civilized, and the remaining 1.5% is actually decent. (during daylight hours and with strong police patrols.)
No one hates SoCal more than a NorCal native. :mrgreen:

Woo, SoCal. Worst part of California.
Only good thing about where I live is because of Coachella Fest. And even then, fuck their whole 3 day pass-or-bust system.
But don't want to go off-topic; I should go to the convention. Just a two hour drive.

If I go, I'll have to make more of a trip out of it and find more things to do, like amusement park hopping. :)

Eight hours of perfectly straight rural highway.....
