Astraquanot got their homepage at Neopets.com

Wewt, KatFAQ!

Q: So every good, frequently-neomailed person should have a FAQ page, right?

A: Not necessarily, but I have one anyway. YAY! Let's get started learning all about ME. :D

The sole purpose of a FAQ page is to make sure people don't ask the same questions over and over, so if you see your question on here, you probably shouldn't neomail me asking the exact same thing. I tend to be pretty friendly, but please don't be offended if I don't respond to your mail/RP right away. I have school and other stuff, and I sometimes don't get around to checking my mail for days. =O_o=

You know that awesome artist you saw in the art gallery? And you thought their art was really cool, so you wanted to ask them for an art request? But when you neomailed them, they were either really cranky or didn't respond? I don't want to think I'm getting to that point, but I am. Anyway, it would be a mature decision to not contribute to the countless sea of noobs that has plagued many of us for years. Anyway, on with the FAQ! Wheee! :D

Q: PERSONALINFOPERSONALINFO?!?!

A: I'm 19. I also have moderately long hair. Sorry, that's all I'm dishing out.

Q: Is Kat your real name, and is it short for anything?

A: Yes, it's short for Katherine. =)

Q: Will you draw my pet?

A: Well, I don't do art requests anymore, but I'm open to art trades. =^_^= Just send me a link to an example or two of your artwork and we'll decide from there. :) Just keep in mind that I'm rather busy, so please don't feel bad if I decline.

Q: Will you make a lookup for such-and-such guild/ whatever?

A: Sorry, had a bad experience. I don't do lookups anymore, but if you're CSS clueless, I would be happy to code your picture for you.

Q: Do you roleplay?

A: Yes, I really do love a good roleplay. ^^ Emphasis on the word, good. Remember, when roleplaying, it's polite to respond with close to the same amount of text as the reply before, or to at least advance the plot a little. Also, try to include some of the character's thoughts, and a little detail. My most frequently roleplayed pets are Inu, Kai, Arti and Flame, but I'm open to anything. =) Just neomail me specifying which one of my pets you would like me to roleplay, and which of your pets you will be using in response. I will usually request that you be the one to begin the roleplay. =)

Q: What art program do you use?

A: I use Paint Shop Pro for most of my drawings. Basically, I draw them on paper, scan them, and trace and color them in PSP. I've also gotten a pen and tablet recently, but as it turns out, I'm so used to using a mouse that I still use it rather frequently. If you're looking for a more professional, feathery style for your drawings, Photoshop is also good for that. The only problem is that it's really expensive. =-_-= So unless you can download it illegally online_ shifty eyes* expect to pay a buttload for it.

Q: Obsessions??

A: Ah... of course! :P What girl doesn't have obsessions, after all? Let's see... my newest obsession is Ouran High School Host Club, but I'm also obsessed with Fruits Basket, InuYasha, anything by Jhonen Vasquez and the Twilight series (OMG, EDWARD!) Hehe, for those of you who haven't read it, you should. It's the best thing to ever happen to me. =T-T= Also, if you don't already know I'm obsessed with raccoons, this page won't help you.

Potemayo is really cute, too! You should look for some of the anime episodes. Cutest opening theme EVER! ^^

Q: Favorite neopet?

A: Gelerts kick it!! ^^

Q: Hey, I like raccoons, too!

A: Yay! You are officially awesome! *High five!*

Q: Songs on your lookup/petpages???

A: Mmmyep. Here's a list of my pages and the songs on 'em:

My lookie: "New Slang"- The Shins (Awesome song, awesome artists. Possibly my favorite. =^_^=)

Astraquanot's lookie: "Feather Theme"- Forest Gump

Flame's lookie: "Film"- Aphex Twin

Deli's lookie: "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight"- The Postal Service

Blustra's lookie: "The Hampster Dance

Fill's lookie: "Writing to Reach You"- Travis

Kai's lookie: "Caramelldansen

Blustra's Page: "Float On"- Modest Mouse

If you're looking for any of these songs, just search audio on Dogpile. :P

Q: Will you send me the code for the music on your lookup/petpage?

A: Absolutely not. With so many petpages crowded with music codes, is it so much to want to maintain a little originality? I'd be happy to tell you how to find your own songs, though:
When looking for music, I usually use the dogpile "audio search" function. I search either by title or by artist(depending on which one gives me the most results) and I copy the URL of the song that I want. However, a lot of the links that pop up tend to either be broken, or don't work at all. If the URL you wat to use has "%20" in it, it will not work.

Q: Will you be my neofriend?

A: Well, there are two possible answers to this question, obviously, depending on how well I know you. The answer will be "no" most of the time, mostly because the majority of people who ask this haven't ever met me. I don't have a problem with just chatting, as long as you're literate. Feel free to drop me a line; you don't have to be my neofriend to do that.

Q: Cool comic/ art/ miscellaneous random item!

A: Thanks, I know. =^_^= But seriously, feel free to barrage me with all of these that you like. This one I have no objection against.

Q: I have an idea for your comic, can you draw it and give me partial credit?

A: Sorry. I have plenty of ideas for comics, it's just that I have to get off my lazy butt and draw them. It's not that I wouldn't like to hear your ideas, though. You can send them to me, and if I really like them, I might end up using them in my comic. Otherwise, I'll probably just stick to my own ideas and characters. If I do end up using you idea, however, I will make sure you get credit.

Q: I'm a noob! * ( |-| 4 7 5 |0 3 4 k !!1 impropur grammir!!*

A: *Waves* =^_^="o" Good for you! Go away, please. *Tosses stick* Noob- *Runs after it and barks*

Q: Fanart?

A: Yay! By all means! =^.^=

Q: May I use your pet(s) in a comic of mine?

A: Sure, that would be awesome! Feel free to mail me and ask me this any time- my pets love the attention. ^^

Q: It says Astraquanot was your first pet, but Blustra is way older! Did you adopt him, or what?

A: To tell the truth, I created Blustra a long, long time ago. Technically, he was my very first pet on Neopets, and my very first account was katthecat219. I rescued him from that account, and transferred some other pets over there. Unfortunately, I neglect to visit it very often. -.-

Q: I made you a picture, but I can't find it on any of your pets' pages! Where the heck is it?

A: It should be on Blustra's petpage. I don't have much room on any of my other pets' pages, so I decided to make a special page for all my art trades/fanart. Also, I don't always put it up as soon as I get it, considering I have to switch accounts just to edit the page, but rest ssured I'll put it up the next time I visit my side account. Anyway, just click the link below to see all the wonderful pictures people have drawn for me. :P

Also, thanks to:
