Thanks for the input, everyone. I just had to give it a go or I would have regretted it.

Considering we're both very young writers [probably younger than considered appropriate for this content, anyway], we're both going to work on our writing styles and quality, and hopefully bring the site up on our own. Thanks for considering and all that jazz! :]

It might be the chapter system, or the fact that we're both amateur writers at the moment. What could I do to make it smoother, or neater? I'm all ears. : D

I've anxious, but still would love to hear other opinions, and I hope I didn't scare anyone away because of the content. :/

Alright, no problem. Of course, this was all just for fun writing, up until we decided to make a webcomic/manga, which has a much more notable plot than most of the drabbles. Do keep in mind that there are more to the drabbles than the first two posts, which I only now realized were very PWP. And in what terrible order, huh? xD


I'm definitely going to try out creating a smoother story, or otherwise separate the stories from the drabbles that are very mixed in. :]

Out of every drabble/story on the postlist, I'm only aware of three full out sex scenes. Which is no excuse, but I only mean that I never meant for it to be all about sex! what we're both mostly interested in getting out there, is the relationships and interactions between two people. I'm sorry if it came off any way different. D:

I have to agree that the lines between porn and erotica are very blurred, which could be an issue later on. Out of most of the posts, we do drabbles the most. I suppose they do seem a bit scattered, and maybe a bit messy. Perhaps we could organize them a little more, so it reads out as an adult romance rather than Harlequin?

This application was one of those things that, despite the content, I would have really regretted not taking a shot at it. I s'pose that's just who I am. x]

Thanks so much for your reply, griever. : D

Hey there, everyone at Xepher.net! I've seen a few sites hosted by you, and I absolutely loved the system and the freedom that came with it, not to mention the designs.

My longtime friend, Becca and I, both enjoy webcomics, writing and I myself adore art. Through the four years I've known her we've created a series among ourselves with a large array of characters and miniplots, through stories, drabbles, fanart, and only recently I've begun creating a webcomic! We're both very excited about getting our stuff out there. This being said, I was wondering if it'd be alright for us to share the account, provided this application gets accepted?

Speaking of our plots; the genre mostly includes romance, humor, drama, and daily-life situations. almost like a [auto]biography, if you will. Some of the writing is old, some is new, some is silly and some are angsty and ridiculously dramatic. but hey, what's life without a little variety?

I also wish to note that there are a lot of shounen-ai, or otherwise gay themes in our writing; as in, it kind of swallows our plots and storylines. I'm perfectly fine with sticking disclaimers of any kind in any which ways, before and after and in the middle of everything. But as far as I've read in the rules, I don't think I'd be harming anyone. If you find it offensive I'm perfectly willing to pack my bags right this moment; I just don't want this fact to become a 'pleasant surprise' in later views. xDDD Considering that your site's motto is "Free Hosting for Free Thinkers", I'd hoped that this wouldn't be a conflict.

One of our biggest aspects is keeping our audience entertained, and I'm sure there's an audience for us out there. We update all the time, because we're doing what we love to do. :]

The username I hope to get, preferably, would be 'TAM' or 'TatoosandMemories', though TAM is the best because less words = easier to remember, and that's what we're trying to achieve here, right?


The site I'm currently using is freely hosted by Weebly.com, and can be found here.


The reason why I want to switch over to Xepher Hosting? I felt that, as easy and friendly as I found Weebly to be, it was much to limiting for what I want to bring to the internet. To be honest, from what I've seen, Xepher.net is absolutely, positively perfect!

Samples;

Art: My dA account - you can find a lot of my artwork here, though viewer's discretion is advised! xDDD I do a lot of digital art, but I never forget about traditional. the ones I'd most like you to see are:

• http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa265/Pyrophire/trinity2.png - Old doodle of Trinity Walters before her appearance was set
• http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa265/Pyrophire/yesplz12.png - I was quite proud of this picture at the time. Practicing on capturing emotions. sorry if it's not your cup of tea.
• http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa265/Pyrophire/lolzlovechild.jpg - example of some of my penwork. done at school.
• http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa265/Pyrophire/scannedpic003.png - more penwork.
• http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa265/Pyrophire/The_Last_Night_by_AkeYuki.png - more digital.
• http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa265/Pyrophire/page2.png - what my webcomics would look like. right to left.

Writing: You can find a lot of the writing we're hoping to 'publish' at our current site. if you want me to post specific pieces or anything like that, just let me know.

Porn/Sex/Nudity: This is another one that comes up quite frequently, and a lot of confusion seems to revolve around it. It's pretty much the same as the violence one though.

Porn/Sex/Nudity Ruling: Nudity is allowed. Sex is allowed. Porn is not allowed. Let's seperate the three. Porn is nudity and/or sex only for reasons of carnal gratification. Are you drawing or writing a scene as part of a real story or plot? Or just for purposes of arousal and pleasure? I really think this one should be pretty obvious to most people... with the possible exception of anyone who genuinely reads playboy for the articles. :-) The easiest analogy is the difference between R and NC17 rated movies. NC17=No (most of the time.) R is allowed, but like violence, I ask you to have warnings for any content above about a PG-13 rating.

This rule is the only one I'm slightly concerned about; I'll be frank, Becca and I's works contain Nudity, they contain Sex, but I don't know if you want to consider them porn or not. I never viewed them as pornographic, but nothing less than Adult Content; having said that, someone certainly might feel the opposite.

I went through many other applications, and many were asked about their HTML skills.

I can read HTML pretty decently, but I definitely cannot come up with a coding off the top of my head. I can create graphics and I know the basics, and possibly use premade coding, but I've never made a Layout from scratch. My mom has an FTP site and can show me how to make one, and use one, and I suppose I'll have to learn more about it, but I'm definitely willing.


Thanks for looking this one over, and sorry if I created a problem of any kind. Feel free to email me with any issues or private concerns. :/
