i don't mean to slam fan cel artists in general, 
as i myself am a fancel artist and in fact have a 
fan cel on eBay right now. but i include "fan 
cel" in my auction title everytime. while they 
may not get the same attention and bids than the 
people who don't use fan cel in the title, i know 
my cel is going to someone who really wants it 
for it's value as a piece of fanart, no matter 
what the price goes to.

i just know that there are certain people who are 
making a business out of making fancels is all, 
and that makes me mad because people were 
treating us all like we were like that for a 
while, and i and a lot of other fan cel artists 
that i know are not like that. my main gripe is 
the people that do that, *and* just make blatant 
copies of other people's cels. at least i make my 
own drawings/poses, do repro's of promotional 
things or at least use a screen shot and not 
someone's cel picture. i saw someone make a ryoko 
fan cel from a cel auction that just ended the 
day before with the real production cel. to me, 
that's not a wanting to make fancels, that's a 
wanting to make money.

hehe, sorry about the long ranty post, i've got a 
lot on my plate today ^~. thanks to those who 
read, though ;).
