Charity Promotion at RainComicStore

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 14, 2013, 10:05 AM

The RainComicStore on Etsy is holding a charity promotion this week courtesy of my lovely wife, Kelly! It's going to be held from today, December 14 to next Saturday, December 21st.

In her words:
"For each item sold at the RainComicStore, I will crochet a chemo-cap and donate it to Knots of Love. I am holding this drive in honor of two special people I've lost in the past year: My childhood friend, Lauren Rousseau, who died tragically at Sandy Hook Elementary one year ago today. The second, my close friend, Gail Zimmerman St. Louis, who lost her battle with lung cancer this past May. When I have finished making all of the caps, I will post a picture of them."

In addition, I'd like to add that the genderfluid flag and hetero flag have been added to the roster of scarves we sell (along with trans, gay, bi, pan, ace, and genderqueer)!

For RainComicStore - www.etsy.com/shop/RainComicSto…

For Knots of Love - www.knotsoflove.org/

Have a lovely weekend everyone. ^_^

Just when I think you can't get anymore amazing... Well I'll be buying something ( I've been meaning to anyway). I've donated my hair to locks of love in honor of my mom's friend's daughter, and it's such an amazing feeling. I hope more people get involved!

Fight on, my friends!I'm four years cancer free today.
Always fight on, my friends. You can conquer anything, and don't let anyone - yourself included - tell you otherwise.

Rain Returning Soon!Sorry for the silence in recent weeks. I return today with what I hope you'll find is some good news. ^_^
I'd like to return to posting by February 18th. That's a Monday.
My goal at this time is to have at least a month's worth of Rain pages ready to go before I return to posting (for the record, that's around 11-13 pages going by a three-a-week schedule). That's a larger buffer than I've had in a while, but if I can keep ahead of the posts, I can work at a more comfortable pace, and hopefully lessen the need for hiatuses in the future.
As it stands, I'm about halfway there. If I keep going at my current pace, I should more than make my goal by my aimed return date. Even if things come up and I slow down, I can reasonably make the lowball estimate.
In the meantime, have this little teaser. I hope you'll look forward to what's to come. ^_^

My Games of 2018It's the end of the 2018. Time to look back once again on all the stuff I played and watched and did! Today, let's talk video games. ^_^
Here's everything I played over the course of this past year (in as close to chronological order as I can recall). Not everything was from this year, and I did play a fair few remakes, but if it's something I sunk time into for the first time this year, it's on this list.
Games I finished this year:
- Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch)
- Final Fantasy 7 (PS4)
- Secret of Mana (PS4)
- 2064: Read Only Memories (Steam)
- Alwa's Awakening (Steam)
- Pokemon Ultra Moon (3DS)
- Pokemon Crystal (3DS)
- The Longest Five Minutes (Switch)
- Blossom Tales (Switch)
- Fairune: Collection (Switch)
- Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon (Switch)
- Golf Story (Switch)
- Pokken Tournament DX (Switch)
- Octopath Traveler (Switch

Another Lulu sale if you want books by ChristmasSo, Lulu's got another deal going, though this one's a bit different. From now through December 13th, you can use the coupon code EXPRESS2018 for 50% off of Express shipping. Now, I believe Express is the most expensive shipping option, so normally I'd point out that's probably more than you might want to spend. But 50% off certainly is more manageable, and might be worth it if you really wanted any of the Rain books - up to and including the new Volume 5 - before Christmas (since I don't think they can guarantee it will arrive BEFORE the holiday otherwise at this point).

Ultimately, that choice is up to you, but I think it's worth relaying the message especially if there's anyone who was really hoping to give the gift of Rain to someone this year. (And as always: no hard feelings if you can't get any option for any reason. You do you.) ^_^
Either way, I hear some folks are getting thei

Clearly, this means Rain is confirmed for SmashSo funny story. I'm in GameStop last night for the midnight release of Smash Bros, and in line I'm standing behind this very nice but very chatty fella (he didn't say anything out of line, but it was late and I felt a little tired and low energy for him and all his questions). And at some point (I can't honestly remember how or why), he asked my spouse and I what we do for a living. I mentioned I do a webcomic, which netted the usual response of immediate disinterest. XD
The person behind me in line though, pipes up and says, "Wait. A webcomic? Which one?" And again, I was low energy at the time, and didn't feel like going into the hard sell or anything in a very small, but very crowded, store with lots of folks who may or may not respond well to hearing about an LGBT comic. So when they asked, I just said it was called Rain, and didn't really expound beyond that. And they go, "I think I've read that before." To which, I just said thank you before the guy in front of us starti

Last Sale on Rain booksIf you still want any or all of the Rain books (for yourself or as a gift for someone else), the deal for Cyber Monday might be just what you've been waiting for. Just use the coupon code CM35 at checkout in order to save a whopping 35% on all the books. This is today only.
Just check out the store to find them: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/LittleLynn84
Also, this is probably my last plug for now. I always feel weird about doing this kind of thing, but it helps me out a lot so I do what I can. Thank you for putting up with me through these past few days, and especially thank you if you bought any of the books. If you can't or don't want to buy the books, but still want to show support, you can always spread this message around so that maybe someone else will. ^_^

Sale on Rain books continuesIf you missed the memo for discount Rain books yesterday, you still have a chance! It seems Lulu is extending it through today. Just use the coupon code BLACKFRIDAY25 for 25% off any and all of Volumes 1-4.
You can find it here: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/LittleLynn84

Smash Ultimate Direct ThoughtsI've been thinking about it for a few days, so I just wanted be like everyone else on the internet and offer my own long-winded ramble on it. Y'all probably know I'm hype for this game. And I just wanna get my thoughts out so I can resume focus on more important things for the next month until it comes out, and not just obsess over it non-stop. XD
So, let's jump right in!

While I don't find Ken nor Incineroar to be terribly exciting additions (especially as final additions), I'd been following all the leaks through the past few months, and I knew going in, this was a possibility. For what it's worth, I was also Team Real on the Grinch Leak (albeit, I wasn't really rooting for that one either). Rather, my top most wanted characters were ones like Rex and Elma and a Dragon Quest character. No major leaks were calling any of them though, so in a way, I was

Protecting yourself from Paypal chargebacksI decided I'd write something on this since it seems to be affecting a lot of my friends and artists I'm close to. I'll start with a few disclaimers.
Disclaimer 1:
I am not a finance expert. I have never filed a chargeback nor have I been in a chargeback dispute (fortunately). I have done some research out of both curiosity and out of desire to help out the community a bit. This is going to be quick(ish) and summarized. I'm also going to be changing some things to the way I sell as well (obviously).
Disclaimer 2:
This journal isn't about what to do in a chargeback dispute but rather, how to set up your sales so that you'll have the upper hand when having to deal with a dispute. I've included some useful links at the bottom for further information!
Regular Payments / ABs
Some believe that Paypal does not help in disputes over digital goods but a policy

Printed Minky Reviewedit to add: yes the printed minky is washable! I didn't wash mine, but according to spoonflower "Wash separately in cool or warm water using a gentle machine cycle. Machine dry using a low temperature or permanent press setting and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles." Although please don't machine wash a plush, ahah. Just the fabric.
------------------
So I recently got the chance to play with printed minky! Here's a sort of review about it
Bought from: spoonflower.com
Price: $28/yrd. Very expensive, but for a very versatile product of this quality it's definitely justified.
Shipping: Only $6 to Canada, with tracking, took about a week and a half to arrive once shipped, no duties. A+
File prep: spoonflower has very simple requirements that are easy to follow. I scanned my pattern pieces, cleaned them up and colored them, then I copied them into a file that was set to spoonflower's specifications (150dpi, set to the width of minky. I added length as I needed it). To make sure my pieces
