APPLICATIONS. Ribbit. Username: LOLTERNATIVE Alternative method of contact: MSN & AIM Experience: Um, I run my own B/C store currently, I've also coloured at a fair few shops and so know how they work.
Roleplaying*: I Roleplay, ya. *NERDFACEHERE* :B Other Gaia-related shops*: D: None. Payment requested: Er'. D: I don non. Whichever you prefer? I'm happy with either. Other things of various importance*: I'm in Australia, too. So contact between us will be pretty easy cause we won't have to deal with timezones. <3 Ribbit. Username: Kurluu Alternative method of contact: AIM, YIM, MSN, etc. Experience: I've been around the B/C forum almost as long as I have been on gaia, so I can answer almost any questions about the construction of such and about guilds for said B/Cs. I was co-owner of several upstart shop projects with my sister which died shortly afterward to her unattention.
Roleplaying*: I love to roleplay though I mostly write stories or dabble in my own plots since I haven't found a good RP partner in a while and prefer to stray from the RP forum. Other Gaia-related shops*: None. Payment requested: I'm fine with anything. Other things of various importance*: I live in the PST timezone so you're hoouuuuurss ahead of me. Meaning I'm awake when you are not and stay up late anyways so I can be there when you are as well. I'll also help about even if I'm not hired. -stalkerenthusiast- Ribbit. Username: Saint Of Revenge Alternative method of contact: MSN, Yahoo!, and AIM messengers are all available. If you want to look for me, my main contact method would be MSN - saintofrevenge@live.com Experience: I have worked in one shop as a manager, I've owned a shop before - it never really got to start because the artist of the lines never delivered them, and I currently work as a certist in another shop. I parted on easy terms with the shop that I used to manage and I can get recommendations if you'd like me to.
Roleplaying*: I'm just going to send you off to a few of my current RPs if that is alright. . . The Nocturna RP (excuse the bad start), Hart & Hind RP Other Gaia-related shops*: I really don't step much out of the B/C forum, sorry. At my past job as manager of The Nocturna, I was the one who did the layout of the thread, the rules, and several other things around the shop. I solved disputes between colorists and I even managed to put new systems in place to avoid problems with colorists claiming unique pets to color. One thing about me - I'm strict on the rules. If you hire me and put rules into place, then I will make sure that those rules are followed to a T. I've seen shops shutdown for not obeying the PG13 rule and I don't want that to happen to any shop I am a part of. Payment requested: At my past job as manager of The Nocturna, I made 10% of all sells - auctions, flatsales, raffles and customs. I am willing to drop to 5% and a free full custom frog. Other things of various importance*: I live in the states in Florida, I'm a Sophomore at the University of South Florida, and if I'm hired you can expect full devotion to the shop. I will not back down if I see something wrong is happening in the shop and I will bring that problem to your attention. Ribbit. Username: Nikiana Alternative method of contact: AIM Experience: Well... I've been in the B/C for like 4.5 years now at least. I've got a load of RP-req pets from various shops. I've worked as RP manager, colorist, artist, shop owner, staff, and pretty much any other title you can come up with in some shop at some point.
Mountains and Monsters: M&M is my shop, a little spoof off of D&D. Really small and only a little active... Those are the only ones I really work at (though I'm in the process of being hired as a colorist and I work as at artist at two pretty dead shops...) though I do have pets in many many other shops. Plus, I lurk almost everywhere. XD Roleplaying*: Heh, oh yeah. XD Heck, I'll just link you to one of my D-corp kids' journals. Ala's journal There's a lot of solo RPs in there, plus the first page has links to PDs. So... yeah. XD Other Gaia-related shops*: I'm a B/C whore. I do not leave. ... Did I mention there would be cake? Payment requested: Heck, I work at D-corp for free. XD Well, okay, I get a few of my reqs knocked off, but that's it. I'd work here for just a kid. Other things of various importance*: I'm in CST and I'm online pretty much every day. Weekends are usually spent with my hubby, so not as much time online, though it just depends. Sometimes we lounge about the house and I get on for most of the day. XD I believe something was said about cake. Ribbit. Username: X Purple--Platypus X Alternative method of contact: MSN - ekul3000@hotmail.co.uk Experience: I've been involved in the B/C for quite a while now - I got my first RP heavy pet back in 2007 and I've not left since. I've dabbled in most aspects of running shops, both from the shops I have officially worked at and through helping out friends.. Managerial roles, concept building, writer, event manager; Pretty much everything except an artist or certist because I don't have any artistic talent what so ever. So when it comes to knowing what is what in the B/C trade I'm pretty adept. B) Having pets in several different successful shops also means I know what it's like to be an owner, which is obviously useful as it's always good to know what your customers want.
Some of the ones towards the end have fizzled out over time. D: Work(ed)@ Life Dust, Ashes of the Wind*, Solistio. Owner@ LAB305, AR Redemption, The Blessing, SSoS, TotMC, Kiseki, Tale of Aludra. *was a judge for a recent writing competition. Roleplaying*: Love ittttt~ And I'm constantly trying to improve. Even looking at the first few entries in some of my journals compared to more recent ones I can see ways that I have changed and bettered myself. Vyn's Journal is a good example of this improvement. My journal for Oxiin also contains a few good examples of solos as well as a few decent roleplay examples. ;D I can give you some more quick links upon request. Other Gaia-related shops*: N/A. Payment requested: I wouldn't want any/much gold for my work, since what little payment is generated from the sale of regular pets should go to the artists in my opinion although the if petty amounts are sitting as leftovers on the mule I could take them as payment? I would really want a semi-custom frog!prince though. 8D Choice of species and perhaps being able to have some say in appearance. (: Other things of various importance*: I live in England and consequently I am in the GMT timezone. I am also in full time education with a homework schedule that can get hectic at times. However, I will nearly always log into Gaia and MSN for at least 3 hours a day regardless of essays because if not I get all twitchy and have withdrawal symptoms (lol I kid). But yeah - my school work may take priority some times, but mostly I can balance it easily. B) Ribbit. Username: lilstalkerrr Alternative method of contact: AIM erinleighh (two "h"s) Experience: Past - Wishing on a Star, (old) Searan's Host Club, and a B/C Advice and Concept Creator thread as creator and owner. Present - I am the lead moderator and self-titled community and game manager for Ponystars, a game published (Americanized) by Acclaim Games Inc. and created by the French company FEERIK. In addition to regular ol' mod duties of keeping order, I am in charge of compiling bugs and suggestions as well as creating announcements and events for the game and forum. At times I judge contests (I HATE IT when I don't have help ) but until I'm able to beat the devs into submission and the "real" community manager into giving me my new mods powers, that's been put on hold. I've worked there for a year now and have been lead mod since mid-January.
Roleplaying*: Still building my samples but here are some recent ones: x and x. Other Gaia-related shops*: None at this time but I randomly help friends with layout and any other help they might need. Payment requested: A little froggy prince to call my own as long as I can meet the RP requirements once they are finalized. If I can't, then a 5% cut on a monthly (or whatever the event "period" is) basis would be an appropriate payment. Both would be much appreciated but not necessary. Other things of various importance*: I'm on PST, live in the rainy state o' Washington. I sometimes get distracted thread-wise and poof, but I'm always available on AIM. I'm obsessive about Googledocs and will promote it more than door to door girlscouts during cookie sales. I'm also ridiculously active but if anything should change, I will alert you as soon as possible before it becomes a problem. Your fame intimidates me a little bit and I would like to get to know you s'more either through this thread or AIM. Ribbit. Username: Kanove Alternative method of contact: MSN or AIM, you’re most likely to find me on MSN MSN: taylorico92@hotmail.com AIM: taylorico Experience: I currently own a shop of my own, which can be found here. Even after working for shops like Life Dust, and previous dead ones in the past as well as other ‘failed’ shops such as TAoM I have gained experience through ownership, managerial duties, and roleplay manager duties as well. Although I’ve been roleplaying since 2003-2004, I’ve only recently begun to see vast jumps in improvement.
Roleplaying*: I have a few roleplays, and although the majority of my better roleplay hasn’t found home on gaia I have begun roleplaying differently as of late. Undeniably I have more pets then I am active in due to shops dying or changing owners and lost interest. However, all active shops I do continue to maintain some activity in. Click. Click. Click. If you need more, please let me know. Other Gaia-related shops*: None. Payment requested: I request my own progressive, and growing egg. If that is alright. Other things of various importance*: Although on gaia a lot I do find myself more drawn towards my real-life. You will find me on my MSN nearly every moment I am on the computer however some days I might not sign in for very long due to the weight of my classes. However, I do stress to be on at least once a day for an hour on gaia and a few hours on MSN for general conversation. Plus I like cookies. : ) Ribbit. Username: Naturally Grown Alternative method of contact: Deviantart Experience:old guild moderator in MPL in '04
Roleplaying*:uhm a tos one c: i havent actually rp'ed very often but this sounds pretty interesting <3 Other Gaia-related shops*: various art auctions and a small bribe shoppe Payment requested: uhmmm i dont think i really need any :/ (maybe an art trade may be neccesary XD) Other things of various importance*: well i i..... had a super hard test today OTL Ribbit. Username: iloveyouDIE Alternative method of contact: Facebook, AIM, MSN, Yahoo. I am not on them ALL the time but I can leave them on if need be. Experience: I'm mature and an experienced RPer (about 10 years) as well as being involved in B/C since 2003. I took a 2 year hiatus to deal with family issues and I have been back full time since about April. My old account was hacked but I used to be TarnishedHalo (so you may find some RP or journals using that name).
Roleplaying: My best RP references are for some of my characters here on Gaia. -Legends: Alejandro -Write What You Know: Gloria -Forgotten Documents: Otium -Hiccups: Hela -Mendels: Gallium Other Gaia-related shops: I do recreational RP in several shops (Aerithe, Grimshaw Forest) Payment requested: A custom frog boy? XD I really haven't put much thought into the payment. If you guys wanted to pay the manager, I am fine with anything that you think is fair. Other things of various importance: I'm a huge fan of post-apocalyptic situations with mixes of poverty and technology. My spouse is also a Soviet Union enthusiast (because of his russian descent) so I know a decent amount about that area of the world and that time period. I also am a HUGE comic book nerd and that is never a bad influence. XD Oh and I was obsessed with frogs growing up.. that combined with being a competitive breast stroker (swimming XP) gained me the childhood nickname of Froggy. biggrin Ribbit. Username: Kyribird Alternative method of contact: AIM/MSN Experience: 5 years B&C Other B/C's: Ghosts of the Past, Tears of Evelos - several other, though dead, shops Roleplaying*: 13 years. Here's a sample~ Christmas time had always been quite busy for the family considering it was difficult for Rune to function with the decreased plant activity and the cold which made plants go dormant. Luca could often be seen going out to local nurseries and buying up every single potted plant that he could possibly get his hand on to fill their shared room with to keep his husband from passing out on him. Rune, being the stubborn prince that he was, could often be seen trying to decorate the house and doing stupid stunts like climbing up ladders when nobody was there to catch him if he fell. Hunter was not one who generally enjoyed the chaos of the holiday season and he enjoyed the crowded stores and the overly cheery (and most definitely fake) voices of the cashiers the least. However, there was little to be done with the shopping days until Christmas decreasing dramatically and the list of presents that he had to buy with his meager money earned from tinkering with things for neighbors and mowing lawns...Well, growing. Today was a prime example of something he did not want. December 15th and the entire mall was filled with last minute shoppers who, to his young eyes, appeared more like the rabid dogs that his father had once attempted to take in. The only GOOD thing about this evening was he was alone - except for Saabel - and without the company of his parents who were off doing their own shopping (Rune, of course, being wrapped in several thousand layers of clothing and wearing a wreath on his head). Now the only trouble was getting Saabel to separate from him so he could purchase his present. This should prove to be most difficult considering his brother clung to him like the plushie that he never let out of his sight. "Saabel?" the boy called, crossing his arms over his chest, "Get out from behind the bench and let's get going already. We only have an hour before Dad and Papa come to pick us up and I'm not going to have Papa give us the look because we're late to the car again." That look was scary. Other Gaia-related shops*: N/A What can you bring to this shop? I have years of customer service experience, even more years of role play under my belt, and a healthy love for bullshitting and brainstorming. Oh. And GMing. Payment requested: Not sure yet~ Other things of various importance*: I will be gone from Dec 9 - Jan 6. And am moving in March...But I will be online with my laptop periodically. =3 Ribbit. Username: slanndalous! Alternative method of contact: I have everything, but I mainly use aim @ ebonlucifer and msn @ sephiroth0668@hotmail.com. I am on practically every hour of the day =3= I know it's sad shhhh Experience: I've been in the B/C forums since 2004 and so far I have accrued give or take around ten RP-required pets. Besides being an avid RPer, I volunteered to create and manage public events for Lab 305 on several occasions before an RP manager was instituted. I run my own dinky little B/C shop Mansicles and I help manage The Plague Doctor.
Life Dust C*CKTAIL SSoS Solace Scents Mysterious Fathoms Daemonolgie Asuras SHATTERED Roleplaying*: I ARPEE A ********!! Need samples? Lemme git sum gewd oneeezzz amaga Back in the Day... (Lab 305 Solo Entry) The Veil, pt. 1 (Daemonolgie Solo Entry) Nothing Says Summer... (SSoS ORP) RP Contest for Asuras “OO MAI GODDO!” Sakura squealed in her Asura’s arms. Like a monkey on its handler, the girl crawled over his shoulder, almost clawing his face off in the process, and behind his back holding on for dear life. Sabien had hoped to look a little more intimidating, but with his summoner, pulling at his hair and mouth, he looked quite undignified. “Sabi-chan!! It’s a ninja! Oh God! It’s a ninja! Sabi getitgetit!!” Unable to tolerate the screaming in his ear, Sabien unhooked the girl’s vice-like grip on his body and dropped her to the harsh ground. She was the dumbest child alive. He was absolutely humiliated he had to be seen in public (by Hisui no less!) with her dead weight. “You little fool, it’s another creature like me… Your society has made you a paranoid wreck…” As scathing as his words were, he never raised his voice above a calm baritone whisper meant only for her ears. He may not like her, but he was not going to embarrass Sakura in public like she did to him. Finished lashing his summoner, Sabien eyed Hisui with vivid interest. He stood so defensive against the seme as if they were strangers. It was a strange feeling not to have him latched to his side. Though a feeling of relief or disappointment was not clear. But whichever, Sabien decided against acknowledging the uke’s familiarity. He wanted to see where this would go. “U-Uhmm…” The little Yamanba crawled out from behind Sabien’s legs and tried pleading with the weapon-wielding Asura. “L-Look! I’m just trying to get home, ya know?! My... My car broke down and and I just want to go hooome!” Sabien flinched lightly as Sakura’s voice rose above the normal frequency of the average soprano. Pretty in Pink (Lab 305 PRP) We`rika had barely given the man beside him much notice besides the casual apology, but when the man kept talking he turned around and blanched. Oh God! This guy knew him! From where?! Narrowing his brown eyes with a stern frown, he stood closer to the man, a little unhappy the guy was just as tall as he was. Though most were truly taller than he. s**t, some girls were! What the ********?! So he did his best to stare the man down with his bulk rather than his height. "... Did I try an' pick ya up in a bar?" He seemed We`rika's type. He was younger, handsome, and had a hole to stick it in. It was plausible. Plus he was in a princess store so he had to be flaming. Course... he was in here too. BUT HE HAD A CHILD! HE HAD AN EXCUSE!! Sevilin watched with wide eyes as the frei had the audacity to grab the blue scepter. Excuuse me!? He was the blue one here! Ohh... she was a vicious thing, this one. Grabbing a nice twinkling purple scepter like an axe, he floated silently behind her, holding up the gaudy plastic doodad poised for beating a b***h. "Sev'lin!!" We`rika warned as the pair came closer, watching with scandalized eyes as the little bunny girl clung to the man beside him. "........................... Oh............." He was a raevan owner. Awwkwaard. Quick! New subject! "Wha' are ya holdin' Sev'lin?" "Well! A temporary scepter.... once I ge' mine back from her...." The sea fairy glared daggers at the brat beside him. "Wh--? Well... wait, wait... Did she take that scepter away from you?" ".... Yes..." Ohh the perfect ploy. "Yes she did! She did take i' from me!" Lifting his big blue eyes to his guardian, Sevilin pouted his cherry-red lips. "I practically had i' in my hand and she stole i'...!" Other Gaia-related shops*: Nerp Payment requested: If I don't win Mr. redhead, I'd like a princeling of my own :B Other things of various importance*: I live in CST bby! I am always on every day (I has no life boo hoo :< wink so I will have plenty of time to talk with owners and lurkers alike. Uhmm what else >3> ILU 8D |
